Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,562 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasuring Drivers’ Effect in a Cost Model by Means of Analysis of VarianceMaria Elena NenniIn this study the author goes through with the analysis of a cost model developed for Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) activities. By means of ANOVA the evaluation of impact and interaction among cost drivers is done. The predominant importance of organizational factors compared to technical ones is definitely demonstrated. Moreover the paper provides researcher and practitioners with useful information to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2013 · 6,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHybrid Exponential Particle Swarm Optimization K-Means Algorithm for Efficient Image SegmentationK. M. Murugesan, S. PalaniswamiThe introduction of unsupervised learning techniques like K-means inside the domain of Image Processing plays a vital role in Image Segmentation. The hybridization of this Algorithm by using Swarm Intelligent techniques further more improves the efficiency. Various works on hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with K-means have been proposed and are found to be efficient in Image Segmentation. However, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 25 Oct 2012 · 7,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA New Cooperative Algorithm Based on PSO and K-Means for Data ClusteringMehdi Neshat, Shima Farshchian Yazdi, Daneyal Yazdani, Mehdi SargolzaeiProblem statement: Data clustering has been applied in multiple fields such as machine learning, data mining, wireless sensor networks and pattern recognition. One of the most famous clustering approaches is K-means which effectively has been used in many clustering problems, but this algorithm has some drawbacks such as local optimal convergence and sensitivity to initial points. Approach: Particle Swarm Optimization … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Nov 2011 · 7,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationship of Specific Training Means and Effort Parameters in Performance Weightlifters' TrainingPotop Vladimir, M. V. UlareanuProblem statement: The researchers introduce the contents of specific training means and the reps number during the training micro-cycles along preparatory and competitive period of the performance weightlifters. Approach: This approach has lead to the organization of a study in Olympic team of weightlifting. The scientific argument is the introduction of the content of the means specific to the performance … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Efficient Unified K-Means Clustering Technique for Microarray Gene Expression DataP. Valarmathie, K. Dinakaran, T. RavichandranProblem statement: Using microarray techniques one could monitor the expressions levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. One challenge was how to derive meaningful insights into expressed data. This might be carried out by clustering techniques such as hierarchical and k-means, but most of the clustering techniques were largely heuristic in nature and are associated with some unresolved issues like how … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Riot Problem in Three Southern Frontier Province: A Cultural Management Model by Means of PeaceNiphon Chuchouisuwan, Songkoon Chantachon, Chamnan RodhetphaiProblem statement: It was evident that a riot problem in Three Southern Frontier Provinces of Thailand resulted from many factors such as an economic factor, a social factor, a political factor, an educational factor, a religious factor, a cultural factor, a traditional factor, including a geographical location. These factors linked one another to affect systematically a riot problem in Three … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Feb 2011 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
