Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOISSON-WEIGHTED EXPONENTIAL UNIVARIATE VERSION AND REGRESSION MODEL WITH APPLICATIONSHossein Zamani, Noriszura Ismail, Pouya FaroughiThis study introduces a new two-parameter mixed Poisson distribution, namely Poisson-Weighted Exponential (P-WE), which is obtained by mixing Poisson distribution with a new class of weighted exponential distribution. The new P-WE distribution provides a more flexible alternative for modelling over dispersed count data compared to Poisson distribution. The estimation procedures of P-WE distribution via method of moments and maximum likelihood … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 8 Mar 2014 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKRYLOV’S SUBSPACES ITERATIVE METHODS TO EVALUATE ELECTROSTATIC PARAMETERSMario Versaci, Alessandra Jannelli, Giovanni Angiulli, Francesco Carlo MorabitoMost of the electromagnetic problems can be stated in terms of an inhomogeneous equation Af = g in which A is a differential, integral or integro-differential operator, g in the exitation source and f is the unknown function to be determined. Methods of Moments (MoM) is a procedure to solve the equation above and, by means of an appropriate choice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Jan 2014 · 7,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Interconnect Structure for Elmore Delay Model with Resistance-Capacitance-Conductance SchemeUma Ramadass, Krishnappriya, Jebashini Ponnian, P. DhavachelvanIn this brief, we present a simple close-form delay estimate, based on first and second order moments that handle arbitrary voltages and conductance effects for a lumped and distributed line. This proposed model introduces a simple tractable delay formula by incorporating conductance (G) into Resistance, Capacitance (RC) network by preserving the characteristics of the Elmore delay model. The RCG model … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVehicle Identification using Fuzzy Adaline Neural NetworkGokul Murugesan, Shriram K. Vasudevan, Sivaraman Ramachandran et al.Video surveillance is an important aspect in today’s world, where a particular scene of area requires monitoring to avoid terrorist attacks and unauthorized entries. Vehicle recognition is an important area in object tracking and recognition. Objects may be of rigid or non-rigid in nature with varying velocity and have different features. Important features like shape, logo, color and texture are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 6 Jun 2013 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Edge Detection Model Based on Virtual Magnetic Field: Application to Digital Color ImagesB. Nsiri, B. BoudaIn computer vision, the edge detection is an essential and difficult problem to study. For this reason, many detectors were developed for gray-level and color images. However, these edge detectors may miss some parts of the edges. In the aim, to deal with this problem, a new approach is proposed. It is based on Virtual Magnetic Field (VMF) in conjunction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2013 · 6,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF WEIBULL PARAMETERS USING A RANDOMIZED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE SEVERITY OF FIRE ACCIDENTSSoontorn Boonta, Anchalee Sattayatham, Pairote SattayathamIn this study, we applied Randomized Neighborhood Search (RNS) to estimate the Weibull parameters to determine the severity of fire accidents; the data were provided by the Thai Reinsurance Public Co., Ltd. We compared this technique with other frequently-used techniques: the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Method of Moments (MOM), the Least Squares Method (LSM) and the weighted least squares … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Measure of Monotonicity of two Random VariablesFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovProblem statement: When analyzing random variables it was useful to measure the degree of their monotone dependence or compare pairs of random variables with respect to their monotonicity. Existing coefficients measure general or linear dependence of random variables. Developing a measure of monotonicity was useful for practical applications as well as for general theory, since monotonicity was an important type … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 26 May 2012 · 8,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContact with Nature and Children’s Wellbeing in Educational SettingsGiuseppe Carrus, Sabine Pirchio, Ylenia Passiatore et al.Problem statement: The study explores the role of the spatial-physical features of the environment for the functioning of educational institutions. Previous research in the field of environmental psychology showed how physical characteristics of learning environments might be linked to positive or negative outcomes in terms of learning attitudes and behaviors. In particular, there is consistent empirical evidence showing that contact … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2012 · 14,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Palmprint Identification based on High Order Zernike MomentR. Gayathri, P. RamamoorthyProblem statement: Hand geometry contains relatively invariant features of an individual. Palmprint recognition is an efficient biometric solution for authentication system. The existence of several hand-based authentication commercial systems indicates the effectiveness of this type of biometric. Approach: We proposed a palmprint verification system using high order Zernike moment that was robust to rotation, translation and occlusion. Zernike moment was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
