Jason, Meredyth Evans, Nicole Porter et al.Problem statement: Several investigators have indicated that case definitions for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are characterized by vaguely worded criteria that lack operational definitions and guidelines. The most widely used CFS case definition is the Fukuda et al. criteria, which uses polythetic criteria (i.e., patients are only required to have four out of a possible eight symptoms). Yet two of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 33,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Methodology for Designing Radix-2n Serial-Serial MultipliersAbdurazzag Sulaiman AlmiladiProblem statement: The fast growth and increase in complexity of digital and image processing systems necessitate the migration from ad hoc design methods to methodological ones. Methodologies will certainly ease the trade off selection for those systems and shortens the design time. To increase those gained values and expand the searching space more appropriate methodologies need to be developed. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTen Common Misunderstandings, Misconceptions, Persistent Myths and Urban Legends about Likert Scales and Likert Response Formats and their AntidotesJames Carifio, Rocco J. PerlaA recent article by Jamieson in Medical Education outlined some of the (alleged) abuses of "Likert scales" with suggestions about how researchers can overcome some of the (alleged) methodological pitfalls and limitations[1]. However, many of the ideas advanced in the Jamison article, as well as a great many of articles it cited, and similar recent articles in medical, health, psychology, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 53,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case Study of River Rehabilitation for Fish in Northern Italy: The Panaro River ProjectClaudio Comoglio, Enrico Pini Prato, Mauro Ferri, Massimiliano GianaroliThe restoration of longitudinal connectivity of a watercourse altered by man-made obstacles is a key issue for the protection and safeguard of freshwater ecosystems and the construction of fish passes constitutes a relevant ad hoc measure. However, in many countries, like Italy, there is still not an adequate technical-scientific background and experience in this field and therefore several migratory species … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScenarios Analysis of Tourism DestinationsAnastasios Michailidis, Fotis ChatzitheodoridisThis study describes a multi-criteria decision-making framework employed to evaluate and rank three tourism destinations, located in the northern and central Greece. Additionally, innovatory elements are the incorporation of differing levels of socioeconomic data (destination image and destination personality) within the decision framework and the direct determination of the PROMETHEE II preference thresholds. The developed methodology provides a user-friendly approach, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoftware Process Modeling Using Role and CoordinationAtil Fadila, Ghoul Said, Bounour NoraThe term software process joins all activities that have to be achieved in order to develop software. It has been shown that modeling such processes is difficult and expensive task. It's confirmed by diversity of software processes modeling approaches which are however, not satisfactory. This study deals with an area of growing importance and presents a role- and coordination- based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 6,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEclecticism Beyond Orthodoxies: African Social Science Research in the Fight Against HIV/AIDSAmbe-Uva T. NomThis study examines the importance of social science research on HIV/AIDS in Africa. There is a dearth of social science research on HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa as available literature focus essentially on biomedical and epidemiological aspect of HIV/AIDS research and behavioral changes. In Africa however, efforts at preventing and mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS epidemic will have to consider the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview for Decomposition of Industry Energy ConsumptionChun-Chu LiuThis study is to overview several methodological related to the decomposition approach based on the energy consumption. Based on a comparison of the size of the residual term that the adaptive weighting Divisia and the simple average Divisia index method, is most robust, exhibiting the smallest residual term. A complete decomposition model also introduced here has solved a residual problem. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecision Support Model to Determine the Best Employees (Mechanic) using Fuzzy Logic and Profile MatchingHiromi Jorge Akbar Aljofarinski, Ditdit Nugeraha UtamaIn a company, verifying the best employees is practically very essential. Knowing the best employees or understanding each employee's performance can be an advantage for the company to evaluate the whole company's performance and improve the lack.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscretized Scheme Examining Convergence and Geometric Ratio Profiles for Control Problem Constrained by Evolution EquationO. OlotuProblem statement: Here, we develop a discretized scheme using only the penalty method without involving the multiplier parameter to examine the convergence and geometric ratio profiles. Approach: This approach reduces computational time arising from less data manipulation. Objectively, we wish to obtain a numerical solution comparing favourably with the analytic solution.. Methodologically, we discretize the given problem, obtain an unconstrained … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite
