Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrent and Future Nanotech Applications in the Oil IndustryCocuzza Matteo, Pirri Candido, Rocca Vera, Verga FrancescaProblem statement: Nanotech applications in the oil industry are not completely new: nanoparticles have been successfully used in drilling muds for the past 50 years. Only recently all the other key areas of the oil industry, such as exploration, primary and assisted production, monitoring, refining and distribution, are approaching nanotechnologies as the potential Philosopher's stone for facing critical issues related … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 10,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrice-Value Potential for Near-Perfectly Competitive MarketsSergey K. AityanThis study introduces price-value potential to be used instead of price for market analysis by analogy with free energy or thermodynamic potential in physics. A conservation principle is proposed for price-value potential. It is shown that price-value potential provides a constructive way for market analysis by identifying variation of equilibrium prices and quantities for different products in market equilibrium. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolicy Decisions for a Price Dependent Demand Rate Inventory Model with Progressive Payments SchemeMukesh Kumar, Rajat KumarProblem statement: In this proposed research, we developed an inventory model to formulate an optimal ordering policies for supplier who offers progressive permissible delay periods to the retailer to settle his/her account. We assumed that the annual demand rate as a decreasing function of price with constant rate of deterioration and time-varying holding cost. Shortages in inventory are allowed which … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution, Arrangement and Interconnectedness of Cell Surface Receptor sites in the body of an OrganismUtoh-Nedosa, Uchechukwu AnastasiaCell surface receptors have been identified as the sites of disease infectivity in living organisms in a previous study. Drugs used for the treatment or cure of infections have to eliminate infections through attacking infective organisms at the cell surface receptors to which the infective organisms are attached. Problem statement: The present study examines a wide sample of living things … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Radioactive Impact Associated to Uranium ProductionFernando P. CarvalhoProblem statement: One century of uranium mining in Europe and North-America created a legacy of ore mining and milling sites needing rehabilitation for environmental and human safety. In the last decades developments of uranium mining displaced the core of this activity to Australia, Canada and African countries. In the coming years, uranium mining is expected to grow further, in those … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jan 2012 · 8,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Method for Human Resource Risk Management in Mobile Workforce Brokering SystemsArash Mousavi, Md. Jan Nordin, Zulaiha Ali Othman, Riza SulaimanProblem statement: Human Resource Risk Management is one of the crucial issues in Mobile Workforce Management Systems (MWM) in general, and in Mobile Workforce Brokering Systems (MWBS) in Particular. It is important because, if not properly managed, it will cause reduction in accuracy of the automated MWBS, which in turn necessitates more human involvement in the task allocation process. Thus, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting and Modelling Electricity Demand Using Anfis PredictorM. Mordjaoui, B. BoudjemaProblem statement: Load forecasting plays an important task in power system planning, operation and control. It has received an increasing attention over the years by academic researchers and practitioners. Control, security assessment, optimum planning of power production required a precise short term load forecasting. Approach: This study tries to combine neural network and fuzzy logic for next week electric load … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
