Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinding the Envelope and Efficient Frontier of Financial AssetsFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovProblem statement: One of the problems considered in financial mathematics is finding portfolios of given financial assets that minimize risk for targeted returns. The set of such portfolios is called the envelope of the assets. Traditionally this problem is solved as a calculus minimization problem involving partial derivatives and Lagrange multipliers. Approach: In this study we describe an invariant geometric … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2012 · 9,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGC-MS Analysis and PLS-DA Validation of the Trimethyl Silyl-Derivatization TechniquesKamalrul Azlan Azizan, Syarul Nataqain Baharum, Habtom W. Ressom, Normah Mohd. NoorProblem statement: Comparison and validation analysis of the conventional and power-adjusted Microwave-Assisted (MA) techniques of TMS derivatization using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Multivariate Analysis (MVA) of Partial Least Squares Analysis (PLS-DA). Further improvement of the conventional technique using vigorous shaking was tested and analyzed. Approach: Cross-validation and response permutation test of PLS-DA and S-plot of Orthogonal Partial Least Squares … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 4 Jun 2012 · 10,325 accessesView PDFCite

BaskaranProblem statement: Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is the broadband wireless technology for terrestrial broadcast services in Metropolitan Area Networks. This BWA technology is based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) technology and considers the radio frequency range up to 2-11 GHz and 10-66 GHz. The objective of this research work is the performance analysis of AWGN, SUI-1 and SUI-2 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Mar 2011 · 7,343 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVHDL Modeling, Simulation and Prototyping of a Novel Arbitrary Signal Generation SystemS. A. Abbasi, A. R.M. Alamoud, J.M. Al ShahraniProblem statement: Arbitrary signal generators play an important role in many applications. Several different techniques utilizing both analog and digital approaches are being used for the generation of periodic signals. However, all of them suffer from many drawbacks. In this study, we present modeling, simulation and prototyping of a novel periodic arbitrary signal generation system using FPGAs. The proposed system … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 7,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Ray Tracing Algorithm for Understanding Scenes with Embedded ObjectsNancy Dandachy, Dimitri Plemenos, Safwan Chendeb, Bachar El HassanProblem statement: In the virtual world domain, the existing techniques of exploration, were not able alone to resolve the understanding problem of scenes with embedded object, also they are time and memory consuming. As a solution, a novel method that enhances the visualization of 3D ray traced scenes with embedded objects by creating a hole proportional to its interior parts … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,294 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantum Key Distribution Using Decoy State ProtocolSellami Ali, Shuhairi Saharudin, M. R.B. WahiddinProblem statement: Quantum key distribution provides unconditional security guaranteed by the fundamental laws of quantum physics. Unfortunately, for real-life experimental set-ups, which mainly based on faint laser pulses, the occasional production of multi-photons and channel loss make it possible for sophisticated eavesdroppers to launch various subtle eavesdropping attacks including the Photon Number Splitting (PNS) attack. The decoy state protocols recently … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,441 accessesView PDFCite
