Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent Health Service Experience as a Predictor of Patient Satisfaction: Evidence from TurkeyEvren AYRANCI, Nazmiye ATALAYThis study scrutinizes effects of current health service experience on patient satisfaction. The investigation included 337 participants, who were actively receiving health services from the largest public hospitals’ clinics in Turkey. An examination of the experience’s and satisfaction’s statistical structures is made; therefore, exploratory factor and reliability analyses were applied. A structural equation modeling was used consecutively to determine the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2019 · 7,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombining Model-Based Testing and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for Test Case Prioritization: A Software Testing ApproachAtifi Meriem, Marzak AbdelazizDue to The complexity of modern software projects and the increasing size of software systems, it becomes difficult to manually perform tests with limited resources. Also, manual testing cannot assure that the software is tested using all possible combinations of inputs. Therefore, automate software testing activities have become primordial in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Model-based testing is a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2019 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Extended-Rotifers Inclusion and Live Food-Enrichment with Probiotics on the Survival, Metamorphosis, Development Time and Growth of Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain (Estampador) LarvaeQuy Moc Ong, Ravi Fotedar, Thy Thi Truong HoThe present larval nutrition study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding probiotic-enriched rotifers inclusion mixed with Artemia until zoeal stages 4 (Z4) and Z5 on the survival, metamorphosis, development time and growth of mud crabs, Scylla paramamosain larvae. The efficiency of the feeding regime was tested by two-factor analysis. A 4×2 factorial experimental design with eight combinations of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 29 Sep 2018 · 8,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNodulation and Biomass Yield Response of Cowpea to Row Spacing and Phosphorus Fertilizer Application in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaAlhassan Bawa, Lukman YussifPhosphorus fertilizer application and planting distance play a major role in the production of shoot, root and nodule dry biomass of cowpea. However, phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient in soils in Ghana. Selection of cowpea varieties that produce good biomass yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus response efficiency can be a low input approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 23 Jan 2018 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Strength Development in Stabilized Soil with CBR Plus and Silica SandSeyedesmaeil Mousavi, Aliakbar KaramvandThis paper investigates the potential use of a nano polymer stabilizer, namely CBR PLUS for stabilization of soft clay and formulation of an optimal mix design of stabilized soil with CBR PLUS and silica sand. The highway settlements induced by the soft clay are problematic due to serious damages in the form of cracks and deformation. With respect to this, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Penalty Parameter in Penalized Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis by using Cross-ValidationIsamu NagaiThere is Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) as a way to find a linear relationship between a pair of random vectors. However, CCA cannot find a nonlinear relationship between them since the method maximizes the correlation between linear combinations of the vectors. In order to find the nonlinear relationship, we convert the vectors through some known conversion functions like a kernel … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 22 Dec 2015 · 7,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaximally Distant Codes Allocation Using Chemical Reaction Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization AlgorithmsTaisir Eldos, Waleed Nazih, Aws KananError correcting codes, also known as error controlling codes, are set of codes with redundancy that allows detecting errors. This is quite useful in transmitting data over a noisy channel or when retrieving data from a storage with possible physical defects. The idea is to use a set of code words that are maximally distant from each other, hence reducing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractItalian Phrasemes as Constructions: How to Understand and Use ThemElmar SchafrothThe present article describes the objectives and methods for a learner-centered description of Italian idioms based on the theoretical principles of Construction Grammar (CxG). The aim of the underlying research project is to develop a new way of looking at idioms, taking into account all linguistic aspects that could help to fully understand and usethem in a formally and functionally … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2015 · 9,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Resolution Satellite Images to Reconstruct Recent Evolution of Domitian CoastlinePasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioIn the last decades, combinations of natural and humanfactors have resulted in extensive morphological changes to our coastlines andin many cases have amplified erosion. In order to limit these changes and theirimpact on coastal zone, it is important toplan specific actions; for this purpose detailed cognizance of coastal zone isnecessary. Different and heterogeneous data such as historical and recent maps,remotely … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 28 Aug 2015 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContrastive Analysis of Stretched Collocations with Get and Take: Their use and Pedagogical ImplicationsSilvia Molina PlazaThis paper explores the pedagogical implications of contrastive analyses of light verb constructions containing get and take in English and Spanish based on electronic corpora, the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA). The main tenets of collocations from a contrastive perspective-and the points of contact and departure between both languages-are discussed prior to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
