Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData Preparation in Machine Learning for Condition-based MaintenanceOns Masmoudi, Mehdi Jaoua, Amel Jaoua, Soumaya YacoutUsing Machine Learning (ML) prediction to achieve a successful, cost-effective, Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) strategy has become very attractive in the context of Industry 4.0. In other fields, it is well known that in order to benefit from the prediction capability of ML algorithms, the data preparation phase must be well conducted. Thus, the objective of this paper is to investigate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 4 Jun 2021 · 8,419 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJewish Identity and Volunteerism: Motivational Drivers in a Small North Carolina TempleRenee JustThe purpose of this research was to examine Jewish identity and its impact on volunteerism and driving motivation in a small reform Temple in North Carolina. This study assessed the Jewish identity of members of the Temple and their motivation to volunteer within this congregation.

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Proton Radius PuzzleG. M. HuberOccasionally,“revolutions” are caused in physics when new measurement techniques becomeavailable and cause us to rethink what we thought we knew. This has recently happenedin the field of proton structure physics, where researchers have had to revisitfundamental assumptions used in their determinations of the proton's meanelectric charge radius. Until 2010, ourknowledge of the proton's electric charge radius came exclusively fromelectron-proton interactions. … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 12 Sep 2015 · 8,330 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneral Linear Models in a Missing Outcome Environment of Clinical Trials Incorporating with Splines for Time-Invariant Continuous AdjustmentMinjeong Park, Dejian Lai, Xianglin L. Du et al.Missing data is a common occurrence in longitudinal studies of health care research. Although many studies have shown the potential usefulness of current missing analyses, e.g., (1) Complete Case (CC) analysis; (2) imputation methods such as Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF), multiple imputations, Expectation-Maximization algorithm approach; and (3) methods using all available data such as linear mixed model and generalized … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2015 · 7,402 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUZZY SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING BASED, DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM APPLICATION FOR ALTERNATIVE CONFUSION REDUCTION STRATEGY IN SMARTPHONE PURCHASESRobertus Nugroho Perwiro Atmojo, Anindito, Bens Pardamean et al.Consumer confusion is a phenomena when the consumer experiencing several confusion problems when she/he should to purchase products/services. Usually, consumer will do a strategy to coping the confusion, that strategy is known as Confusion Reduction Strategy.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Compression on the Acoustic Absorption of Coir FiberMohd Jailani Mohd Nor, Md. Ayub, Rozli Zulkifli et al.Problem statement: The absorption characteristics of coir fiber were analyzed previously. Analytical method to predict the acoustical behavior of coir fiber has already been developed. However, compression effects of coir fiber were not explored which might significant for acoustics absorption during seat padding. In this study, compression effect on the sound absorption characteristics of coir fiber are demonstrated based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,067 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Protein 3D Structure Prediction Accuracy using Dense Regions Areas of Secondary Structures in the Contact MapAmer F. Al-Badarneh, Mohammad A. Khalil, Mo'taz A. Al-HamiProblem Statement: The protein folding problem is a fundamental problem in structural molecular biology. This problem describes how a protein is transformed from its primary sequence (i.e., amino acid sequence) into the three dimensional structure (3D structure) for this sequence that determines the function of the protein. The 3D structure of a protein can be represented using a square symmetrical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,537 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Better Approach to Ontology Integration using Clustering Through Global Similarity MeasureAshwin Makwana, Amit GanatraKnowledge representation is a crucial area of work in the intelligent system, especially in query answering system development. Ontology is used to represent shared knowledge of a particular domain for query answering system. Domain-specific ontology can be designed and developed by many groups and researchers, because of which there is heterogeneity in the knowledgebase. Ontology integration or merging is necessary … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 25 Jun 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDF Cite
