Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTrade-Off of Frame-Rate and Resolution in Online Game StreamingAhmad Abdel Jabbar Ahmad Mazhar, Ayman Mahmoud Aref AbdallaOnly limited research in the literature focused on assessment of different spatial and temporal resolutions. In addition, the field of synthetic video compression, such as video compression in game streaming, was the focus of only a few research papers. This paper will consider a wide range of synthetic video textures and motion speeds. The visual quality of the compressed video … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 2 Oct 2017 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDeterminants of Spatial Patterns of Sex Ratio in Haryana, IndiaSangeeta Rani, Javaid Ahmad TaliThe sex ratio is an important social indicator of gender equality and status in a society. As such, it also reveals social development of a society. In a society wherein gender discrimination is in practice and devaluation of women is prevalent, sex-selective feticide, female infanticide, death of girl child’s due to neglect and discrimination in food as well as in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2017 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimation of the Case Fatality Ratio of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome based on Patients' Comorbidities with Application to the MERS-CoV Epidemics in the Republic of Korea, 2015Changhyuck Oh, Seonyeong HwangIn an early stage of the course of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak in Korea in 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of Korea and several studies reported estimated Case Fatality Ratios (CFRs) that were significantly different. Here, we propose an estimation method based on the commonly quoted naive estimator of CFR utilizing the number … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 14 Nov 2016 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA New Bivariate Distribution with Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate MarginalsAbdelfattah MustafaRecently, Sarhan (2009) introduced a new distribution named generalized quadratic hazard rate distribution. In this study, we define a bivariate Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate Distribution (BGQHRD). The joint cumulative distribution function and joint survival function are derived in compact forms. Several properties of BGQFRD have been discussed. The conditional probability density function, rth moments and joint and marginal moment generating … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2016 · 6,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRandomized Response Procedure for the Estimation of the Population Ratio using Ranked Set SamplingAgustin Santiago, Carlos N. Bouza, J. Maclovio Sautto, Amer Ibrahim Al-OmariIn this study we deal with the estimation of the population ratio, when a Randomized Response (RR) procedure is used for collecting responses and Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is the selection method. The variances of the suggested estimators are calculated. Comparisons between different estimators are presented. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 7,400 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Guaranteed Time and Rate Control Method for Improving QoS in WLANA. Anitha, J. JayakumariWireless Local Area Network is a mobile network, which connects the users in a small specific area. The devices within the area connect with each other through the wireless access points. The main requirements for the connection between the wireless devices are the time and the power. The transmission time between the wireless devices should be less and the power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 10 Mar 2016 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleShort Period Spectral Acceleration Zonation of Tehran a Comparison between Slip and Activity Rates Data’sHadi Jarahi, Noushin Naraghiaraghi, Malihe NadalianThis study presents seismic hazard analysis and provides spectral iso acceleration maps based on slip rate (SR) and also activity rate (AR) of the faults. Nowadays modern seismic design of structures is complicated so special attention to the nature of the seismicity in active seismic zones like Tehran is required. Many studies, based on seismic hazard analysis have been done … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 8,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Projects Sharing Ratios under Musharakah Financing: A Repeated Game Theoretical Approach Using an Output versus a Proposed Effort Based ContractAdil Elfakir, Mohamed TkiouatIn this research, we provide a game theoretical approach of new projects financed under musharakah contracts using two types of contracts. The first type is effort based. It compensates the agent for the effort provided regardless of market conditions. The other type of contract is output based where the agent compensation is based solely on output realized. Our intuition is, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of the Maximum Density Ratio Between Liquid and Vapor on Cavitating SimulationGuangjian Zhang, Weidong Shi, Ling Zhou, Desheng ZhangThe Filter-Based Model (FBM), which was built into CFX through CFX Expression Language (CEL) and a homogeneous cavitation model were employed to simulate cavitating flow around a 2D Clark-y hydrofoil. The effect of a maximum density ratio between liquid and vapor on sheet and cloud cavitating simulation was investigated. The results show that the maximum density ratio has a significant … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2015 · 7,437 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Biogas Plants by the Application of an Internal Rate of Return and Debt Service Coverage ApproachGiuseppe Bonazzi, Mattia IottiEnergy production using renewable energy has an effect on environmental sustainability and on public expenditure.
