Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInflation and Financial Development: EvidenceEmmanuel Nii AbbeyThe study examined the impact of inflation on financial development in Ghana using quarterly time series data (1990-2008). It was in line with the empirical works that provided support for the proposition that inflation affects financial development negatively. While price stability has been emphasized in the literature to be the best antidote in addressing the problem, recent evidence of disagreements … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Bounded Expanding Carmelian White Hole Universe Without Dark MatterJohn Gideon HartnettThe solution of Einstein’s field equations in Cosmological General Relativity (CGR), where the Galaxy is at or cosmologically near the center of a finite yet bounded spherically symmetrical isotropic gravitational field, is identical with the unbounded solution. I show that this leads to the conclusion that the Universe may be viewed as a finite expanding white hole. The fact that … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 7 May 2013 · 6,941 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExploring Factors Influencing Financial Planning After Retirement: Structural Equation Modeling ApproachMd. Abdul Jalil, Dzuljastri Abdul Razak, S.M. Ferdous AzamThe study explores the critical factors that influence financial planning after retirement among Malaysians, an area which has somewhat been largely overlooked by the extant literature. The study has used a quantitative method to survey a sample of 170 Malaysian citizens, from various places in the Klang Valley area. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 20 Mar 2013 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE THEORETICAL SIMULATION OF AXIAL VIBRATIONS IN FINITE CYLINDRICAL PIEZOELECTRIC SHELL MADE OF THE TRIGONAL (3M) CRYSTALH. Zeynali, B. Jazi, R. KarimiThe axial vibration in a thin layer of finite cylinder made of trigonal (3M) piezoelectric crystal are investigated. By using a closed form solution of the equations of motion and applying new boundary conditions the effects of the geometrical dimensions, axial hydrostatic pressure and electrostatic potential along the axis of the cylinder shell on oscillation frequency and amplitude of spatial … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2013 · 6,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Hybrid Model for Human Recognition System Using Hand Dorsum Geometry and Finger-Knuckle-PrintB. Mathivanan, V. Palanisamy, S. SelvarajanThis study focuses on developing an efficient person identification and recognition system using hand based biometrics for secured access control. In most of the previous works on hand-based recognition methods, mostly, the importance was not given to the top side of the hand, which is used in this model. Iin our previous work we have developed a Hand based biometric … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 8 Sep 2012 · 6,869 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison Between Niemann’s and Finite Element Method for the Estimation of Maximum Allowable Stress of Meshing Spur Gear Teeth at Highest Point of Single Tooth ContactKonstandinos G. Raptis, Theodore N. Costopoulos, Andonios D. TsolakisPurpose of this study is the consideration of loading and contact problems encountered at rotating machine elements and especially at toothed gears. The later are some of the most commonly used mechanical components for rotary motion and power transmission. This fact proves the necessity for improved reliability and enhanced service life, which require precise and clear knowledge of the stress … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Rutting Depth in Flexible Pavements by Using Finite Element Analysis and Local Empirical ModelAlaa H. Abed, Adel A. Al-AzzawiThe objective of this research is to predict rut depth in local flexible pavements. Predication model in pavement performance is the process that used to estimate the parameter values which related to pavement structure, environmental condition and traffic loading. The different local empirical models have been used to calculate permanent deformation which include environmental and traffic conditions. Finite element analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison between Financial Ratios Analysis and Balanced ScorecardKhalad M.S. Alrafadi, Mazila Md-YusufFinancial ratios have long been used as a tool to evaluate the overall financial performance of a company. However, in early 1990s, a new method called Balanced Scorecard has been introduced by Robert Kaplan and David Norton to evaluate the overall controlling of a company. Problem statement: To the best of my knowledge at present there are no letrature review … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2012 · 15,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCalibration Coefficients for Residual Stress Measurement in Composite Materials Using Finite Element MethodA. G. Ghasemi, M. AkbarzadehProblem statement: Since the residual stresses can cause a scienificant reduction in strength of the mechanical components, having a semi-destructive measuring method that would predict and model theses stresses would be an advantage. The hole drilling method has been used, by many researches, for measurement of the residual stresses in different materials. In this article, the finite element method is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2012 · 9,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCustomers’ Attitude towards Diminishing Partnership Home Financing in Islamic BankingDzuljastri Abdul Razak, Muhamad AbduhProblem statement: Diminishing partnership or musharakah mutanaqisah contract in home financing is recently introduced by the Islamic banking industry as an alternative of the bay bi’thaman ajil contract which has received many criticism from shariah scholars as mimicking conventional loan. This study aims to examine customers’ attitude upon diminishing partnership home financing and their intention to subscribe into the financing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
