Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Brief Review on WIMPs in 331 Electroweak Gauge ModelsP.S. Rodrigues da SilvaIn this study we review the cold dark matter problem in the context of a class of models which are a simple extension of the electroweak standard model, where the gauge symmetry is dictated by the group structure, SU(3)c⊗SU(3)L⊗U(1)X. This model, in different versions, has been able to address many interesting facts not explained by the standard model. It would … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Oct 2015 · 13,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExact Permutation Algorithm for Paired Observations: A General and Efficient VersionDavid T. MorseFor the better part of a century, methods have been illustrated for the enumeration of all possible permutations of cases from which an exact characterization of the likelihood of obtaining results as or more extreme as that observed may be determined without having to rely on parametric assumptions or schemes that may be only asymptotically correct. The challenge is the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHAI LITERATURES REFLECTING CHINESE IDENTITY IN THAI SOCIETYSuchawadee KesmaneeLiteratures present the picture of people’s lives in the society in details. There have been numerous studies on Chinese-Thai literatures but none of them has an in-depth study on the Chinese identity. This study has been conducted due to personal interest to analyze the authors’ effort to present the Chinese identity through the characters, contents and social contexts. The data … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2014 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractON REDUCED SCALAR EQUATIONS FOR SYNCHRONOUS BOOLEAN NETWORKSAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Adnan Ahmad AlsogatiA total description of a synchronous Boolean network is typically achieved by a matrix recurrence relation. A simpler alternative is to use a scalar equation which is a possibly nonlinear equation that involves two or more instances of a single scalar variable and some Boolean operator(s). Further simplification is possible in terms of a linear reduced scalar equation which is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2013 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Brief Tour into the History of Gravity: From Emocritus to EinsteinPanagiotis Papaspirou, Xenophon MoussasThe History of Gravity encompasses many different versions of the idea of the Gravitational interaction, which starts already from the Presocratic Atomists, continues to the doctrines of the Platonic and Neoplatonic School and of the Aristotelian School, passes through the works of John Philoponus and John Bouridan and reaches the visions of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei. Then, the major … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 15,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTesting Randomness: Poker Test with Hands of Three NumbersWael Mohamed Fawaz Abdel-Rehim, Ismail Amr Ismail, Ehab MorsyProblem statement: The problem of testing randomness is motivated by the need to evaluate of the quality of different random number generators used by many practical applications including computer simulations, cryptography and communications industry. In particular, the quality of the randomness of the generated numbers affects the quality of such applications. In this study we focus on one of the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 30 Jul 2012 · 9,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Neighborhood Simplex Search Methods for Global Optimization ModelsPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Many optimization problems of practical interest are encountered in various fields of chemical, engineering and management sciences. They are computationally intractable. Therefore, a practical algorithm for solving such problems is to employ approximation algorithms that can find nearly optimums within a reasonable amount of computational time. Approach: In this study the hybrid methods combining the Variable Neighborhood Search … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 6,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Activity of β-Cyclodextrin and 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Trimethoprim ComplexesHsien-Kuo Sun, Madhumathi Seshadri, Scott Lingard et al.Problem statement: Cyclodextrin complexation has previously been shown to improve the solubility and dissolution properties of trimethoprim; however, no report provides an account of the effect cyclodextrin complexation has on the antibacterial activity of this agent. Approach: β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes of trimethoprim were prepared and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Monte Carlo Study of Seven Homogeneity of Variance TestsHoward B. Lee, Gary S. Katz, Alberto F. RestoriProblem statement: The decision by SPSS (now PASW) to use the unmodified Levene test to test homogeneity of variance was questioned. It was compared to six other tests. In total, seven homogeneity of variance tests used in Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) were compared on robustness and power using Monte Carlo studies. The homogeneity of variance tests were (1) Levene, (2) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,111 accessesView PDFCite
