Body image can significantly affect the way an individual perceives about his or her body. Studies on relationship between physical self-concept and body image in some countries showed that the women's body dissatisfaction has led … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBiocontrol of Botrytis allii Munn the Causal Agent of Neck Rot, the Post Harvest Disease in Onion, by use of a New Iranian Isolate of StreptomycesM. Jorjandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: Soil actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have showed antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. Onion neck rot or gray mold caused by Botrytis allii have imposed economic post harvest damages to onion bulbs and decreased its storage durability and market value. Approach: To investigate for … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBenders' Decomposition Based Heuristics for Large-Scale Dynamic Quadratic Assignment ProblemsSirirat Muenvanichakul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP) is NP hard problem. Benders decomposition based heuristics method is applied to the equivalent mixed-integer linear programming problem of the original DQAP. Approach: Approximate Benders Decomposition (ABD) generates the ensemble of a subset of feasible layout for Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) to determine the sub-optimal optimal solution. A Trust-Region Constraint (TRC) for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptimization Based Heuristic Approaches for Solving an Integrated One-dimensional Cutting Stock-Transportation ProblemSirirat Wongprakornkul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulIn this work, the integration of the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with multiple cutting facilities and the transportation problem was formulated mathematically as a large-scale discrete optimization problem. Benders partitioning approach and the column-generation technique with the direct method and the proposed heuristic method for solving corresponding integer programming (IP) were developed into three approaches and were used to solve … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMigration from Relational Database into Object Oriented DatabaseMansaf Alam, Siri Krishan WasanObject-Oriented Technology is an important discipline in the field of software engineering in general and it is, therefore, natural to ask whether it is relevant to the field of database management in particular and what that relevance is. There is, however, no consensus on answer to these questions. Some authorities believe that object oriented database systems will take over the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEmpirical Study on Applications of Data Mining Techniques in HealthcareHarleen Kaur, Siri Krishan WasanThe healthcare environment is generally perceived as being ‘information rich’ yet ‘knowledge poor’. There is a wealth of data available within the healthcare systems. However, there is a lack of effective analysis tools to discover hidden relationships and trends in data. Knowledge discovery and data mining have found numerous applications in business and scientific domain. Valuable knowledge can be discovered … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 9,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesRevisiting the Unit Root Hypothesis and Structural Break: Asia and Emerging Economies Foreign Exchange MarketsChristopher Gan, Sirimon Treepongkaruna, Hue Hwa Au YongThis study examines the stationary of ten Asian and for emerging Foreign Exchange (FX) rates during the 1990s. The paper employs the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test to the following FX rates: Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) Japanese Yen (JPY), South Korean won (KRW) new Taiwan dollar (TWN), Chinese Renminbl (CHR), Indonesia Rupiah (IDR), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Singapore Dollar (SGD), … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Characterization of the Incidence Term in Epidemic Models: Interpretation of the Resulting Basic Reproduction Number in Terms of Healthcare AccessibilityFrancis BenyahWe propose a novel characterization of the incidence term in mathematical epidemic models. This new characterization takes into consideration the fact that at any given time, only a proportion $\kappa \ (0 \, \le \, \kappa \, \le \, 1)$, of infectives have access to healthcare. Infectives without access remain untreated and therefore, become reservoirs for new transmissions.The proposed incidence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 1 Oct 2026 · 589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure and Diversity of Agroforestry Parklands in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of CameroonAwé Djongmo Victor, Noiha Noumi Valery, Zapfack LouisThe general objective of the study is to characterize the woody vegetation of 05 agroforestry parkland in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon. A total of 40 floristic surveys of 200  20 m were carried out. A total of 33 species in 20 families and 31 genera were recorded. The dendrometric survey method enabled us to characterize the vegetation of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 2 Apr 2021 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLyapunov Function for a Dengue Transmission Model where two Species of Mosquitoes are Present: Global StabilityI Ming Tang, Rattiya Sungchasit, Puntani PongsumpunIn this study, we are interested in the newly observed endemic due to the ZIKA virus. In the absence of a full knowledge of the dynamics of the infection due to this virus, we consider a model of the closely related dengue virus when there are two species of mosquitoes, A. aegypti and A. albopictus mosquitoes who are both capable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 25 Oct 2017 · 8,281 accessesView PDFCite
