Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Neutral Network in Predicting Corporate FailureHuong G. NguyenThis study investigates the predictive power of three neutral network models: Multi-layer neural network, probabilistic neural network, and logistic regression model in predicting corporate failure. Basing on the database provided by The Corporate Scorecard Group (CSG), we combine financial ratios which deem to be significant predictors of corporate bankruptcy in many previous empirical studies to build our predictive models and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Model for Multi-agent Case-base Reasoning SystemsAbdel Badeea Salem, Aldahoud Ali, Ibrahiem M. M. El EmaryMulti-Agent Systems (MASs) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) are two recent and hot paradigms in artificial intelligence field. CBR is a reasoning methodology based on old experience reasoning or similarity-based reasoning while MAS is a new paradigm to organize AI applications. CBR offers multi-agent systems the capability of autonomously learning from experience. This study examines the integration of CBR, MASs and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 5,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemantic Refinement of Multi-meaning Words by T-normsF. Sadeghi, H. Khosravi, E. EslamiIn this paper we consider a multi-meaning word which appears in a sentence together with some connected words. To refine the meaning of this multi-meaning word, we propose a method based on T-norms which are reasonable mathematical models of logical conjunction operator in fuzzy logic. The preliminary results derived from a prepared corpus are encouraging. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn HIV/AIDS Model with Variable Force of Infection and its Application to the Epidemic in UgandaFlugentius Baryarama, Joseph Y.T. Mugisha, Livingstone S. LuboobiAn HIV/AIDS model is formulated with variable force of infection for the adult population. Its actions are reduced to a prevalence equation that is a non-logistic equation whose explicit solution is derived. The implications of applying the solution to the evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are discussed with respect to the positive boundedness of the coefficients. Prevalence projections are presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring the Function Points for Migration Project: A Case StudyK. Mustafa, K. Gowthaman, R. A. KhanIn this study, we extend the study of Function Point Analysis (FPA) for the measurement of source code based migration project using the migration tooling options. FPA is an objective and structured technique to measure software size by quantifying its functionality provided to the user, based on the requirements and logical design. It is noticed that the procedure for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Oral Contraceptives and Abnormal Pap SmearSayedmohsen Sayednozadi, Mohammadreza Hassany, Mohammad Arash RamezaniTo assess the hypothesis that combined Oral Contraceptive (OCs) increase the risk of cervical neoplasia, we conducted a multicenter Case-Control study in Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan province. Seventy-eight women with moderate to severe dysplasia at Pap smear as case group and one hundred fifty nine women with normal Pap smear were selected as the control group for evaluation. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSearching of Main Cause Leading to Severe Influenza A Virus Mutations and Consequently to Influenza Pandemics/EpidemicsGuang Wu, Shaomin YanThe unpredictable mutations in the proteins from influenza A virus lead to the great difficulty in prevention of possible outbreak of bird flu and pandemic/epidemic of influenza. This unpredictability is due to the fact that we know little about the causes that lead to the mutations. In three of our recent studies on the hemagglutinins from influenza A virus, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note on “Surface Roughness Prediction Model in Machining of Carbon Steel by PVD Coated Cutting Tools”Godfrey C. OnwuboluAn article published in this journal by Sahin and Motorcu[1] developed a surface roughness model based on the response surface method, multiplicative-logarithmically linearized approach for determination of the cutting parameters in turning of AISI 1040 carbon steel. Their published results for the surface roughness show that it appears Sahin and Motorcu[1] have obtained wrong constants (C, m, n, p), thereby … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Effectiveness of IDS to Improve Security in IntranetUmesh Kumar Singh, A. K. Ramani, Narendra S. Chaudhari, Vandana GuptaToday Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are becoming one of the most important tools for intranet security. Research regarding Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) has become more active with the recent increases in illegal accesses to computer systems. Many researchers focus only on the techniques or mechanisms for detecting intrusions automatically, without considering the security of IDSs themselves. When an intruder attacks … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
