Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Scaled Sufficient Descent Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Solving Unconstraint Optimization ProblemsAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, Rafiq S. MuhammadProblem statement: The scaled hybrid Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm which usually used for solving non-linear functions was presented and was compared with two standard well-Known NAG routines, yielding a new fast comparable algorithm. Approach: We proposed, a new hybrid technique based on the combination of two well-known scaled (CG) formulas for the quadratic model in unconstrained optimization using exact line … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Control of a Photovoltaic Energy System Using the State-Space Averaging TechniqueMohd Saifuzam Jamri, Tan Chee WeiProblem statement: This study presented the modeling and control of a stand-alone Photovoltaic (PV) system using the state-space averaging technique. Approach: The PV module was modeled based on the parameters obtained from a commercial PV data sheet while state-space method is used to model the power converter. A DC-DC boost converter was chosen to step up the input DC voltage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Multiderivative Collocation Method for 5th Order Ordinary Differential EquationsS. J. Kayode, D. O. AwoyemiProblem statement: The conventional methods of solving higher order differential equations have been by reducing them to systems of first order equations. This approach is cumbersome and increases computational time. Approach: To address this problem, a numerical algorithm for direct solution of 5th order initial value problems in ordinary differential equations (odes), using power series as basis function, is proposed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOff-Line Signature Authentication Based on Moment Invariants Using Support Vector Machinek. R. Radhika, M. K. Venkatesha, G. N. SekharProblem statement: The research addressed the computational load reduction in off-line signature verification based on minimal features using bayes classifier, fast Fourier transform, linear discriminant analysis, principal component analysis and support vector machine approaches. Approach: The variation of signature in genuine cases is studied extensively, to predict the set of quad tree components in a genuine sample for one person … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspirin in Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events: Does Market Failure Matter?Roger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Against the backdrop of the 2009 scientific studies qualifying the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of aspirin, two interrelated questions are raised for investigation in this study. First, why may the government intervene in an otherwise private transaction between physician and patient and between drug manufacturer and buyer, when it involves contentious pharmacological information? Second, does government intervention make … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnisotropy Influence of Cubic Solid on Dynamic Hertzian Contact Stiffness for a Vibrating Rigid IndenterJiayong TianProblem statement: Resonance-type microscopies have been widely used to evaluate the nanoscaled or microscaled surface elastic properties of materials by the resonance-frequency shifts of an oscillator, which contacts the surface of materials by a spherical tip. Approach: The tip-specimen contact is modeled to be a spring support, whose stiffness is given by the traditional Hertzian contact theory. However, because of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTechnical Efficiency of Chili ProductionA. S.M. Anwarul Huq, Fatimah Mohamed ArshadProblem statement: Scarcity of resources has led to production economists to think about the reallocation of existing resources to produce a prescribed level of output with the minimum cost without changing the production technology. But there is a lack of information about the efficient use of inputs in chili production. Except for a few descriptive studies, econometric analysis has yet … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Eigenstructure Assignment for a Static Synchronous CompensatorAhmad N. Al-HusbanProblem statement: Power flow through an AC transmission line is influenced by three basic electrical parameters, which are line impedance, magnitudes and phase-shift angle between the sending and receiving voltages. Therefore, the change in any of the three basic parameters means a change in the power flow through the transmission line. The aims of this research paper are: increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Modified Conjugate Gradient Formula for Back Propagation Neural Network AlgorithmAbbas Y. Al Bayati, Najmaddin A. Sulaiman, Gulnar W. SadiqProblem statement: The Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm which usually used for solving nonlinear functions is presented and is combined with the modified Back Propagation (BP) algorithm yielding a new fast training multilayer algorithm. Approach: This study consisted of determination of new search directions by exploiting the information calculated by gradient descent as well as the previous search direction. The proposed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Dec 2009 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
