Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL APPROACH BASED ON GENETIC FUZZY CLUSTERING AND ADAPTIVE NEURAL NETWORKS FOR SALES FORECASTINGAttariuas Hichama, Bouhorma Mohameda, El Fallahi AbdellahbThis article proposes a new hybrid sales forecasting system based on genetic fuzzy clustering and Back-Propagation (BP) Neural Networks with adaptive learning rate (GFCBPN).The proposed architecture consists of three stages: (1) utilizing Winter’s Exponential Smoothing method and Fuzzy C-Means clustering, all normalized data records will be categorized into k clusters; (2) using an adapted Genetic Fuzzy System (MCGFS), the fuzzy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 2 Jul 2013 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination and Source Apportionment of Selected Heavy Metals in Aerosol Samples Collected from SebeleAlfred Sello Likuku, Gilbert Kabelo Gaboutloeloe, Khumoetsile B. MmolawaBush fires and dust in the dry winter months establish moderately high background levels of aerosols. Emissions into the atmosphere by copper mines, coal mines and vehicular emissions are all possible sources of air pollution with heavy metals. Although there has been assessment and monitoring of heavy metals and their air pollution in other countries such as Brazil, Europe and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2013 · 7,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of the Maize (Zea mays)-Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort) AgroecosystemCarlos Ernesto Aguilar-Jimenez, Alfredo Tolon-Becerra, Xavier Lastra-BravoProblem statement: In Selva de Chiapas, Mexico, the traditional farming technique of slash-fell-burn used on hillside fields has caused severe soil deterioration. Consequently, indigenous farmers reacted by developing several agroecological practices that improve the physical, chemical and biological fertility of the soils. Standing out among these techniques is the use of Mucuna (Mucuna deeringianum Bort.) in rotation with maize (Zea … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 Mar 2012 · 7,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of the Ceres-Wheat for Prediction of Wheat Varieties in Irrigation and Terminal Drought StressFarzad Paknejad, Fatemeh Majidi Fakhr, Seied Mehdi MirtaheriProblem statement: Crop growth models have many potential uses for crop managements. Approach: In order to evaluation of CERES-Wheat model on five varieties of winter wheat in Karaj weather condition in Full Irrigation (FI) and Stop Irrigation (SI) after flowering until final growth stage an experiment conducted in shape of split plot in based on randomize complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Wheat Cultivar Response to Irrigation Treatments using of CERES-Wheat ModelFatemeh Majidi Fakhr, Farzad Paknejad, Mohammad Nabi Ilkaee et al.Problem statement: Crop models are used as tools for enhancing agricultural research through the identification of gaps in knowledge as well as by providing support for decision making in agricultural planning. Approach: In order to evaluation of CERES-Wheat model on five cultivars of winter wheat under Karaj weather condition in Full Irrigation (FI) and Terminal Irrigation at Flowering (TIF) an … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLimnological Studies on the Wetland Lake, Al-Asfar, with Special References to Heavy Metal Accumulation by FishGehan H. Fahmy, Adel A. FathiProblem statement: Al-Asfar Lake is one from the important shallow wetland lakes. It is located on the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, Al-Hassa Province. However, much of their limnology and its biotic information are still unknown to the scientific community. The study aims to follow variations in physico-chemical characteristics, phytoplankton and to determine the sort of pollutants such as heavy … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2011 · 9,942 accessesView PDFCite

Benito et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to assess the differences in the skiing performance of two skiing styles (classical style Vs. skate skiing), in a group of young high-level skiers. Approach: Four high-level male junior cross-country skiers from the Centre of Winter Sports of Aragon (Spain), were selected for this study that was developed during two competitions: 10 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 8,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Soil and Water Assessment Tools Model for Runoff EstimationM. Hosseini, M.S.M. Amin, A.M. Ghafouri, M.R. TabatabaeiProblem statement: The most of the distributed or physically-based hydrologic and water quality models from developed countries are not directly applicable in developing countries due to both lack of data and different climatic conditions. Hence, there is a need for a study to be conducted a catchment of developed countries. Approach: From a review of various models to estimate runoff … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,516 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealth Impacts Estimation of Mineralogical and Chemical Characterization of Suspended Atmospheric Particles over the East DesertU. Ali Rahoma, Elsayed EmaraProblem statement: The small size fraction of aerosols, measured as PM10 and PM2.5, rather than the larger particles, is considered to be responsible for most of the health effects. Such particles have a relatively long residence time in the atmosphere and can therefore travel over long distances. Hence, a large portion of ambient concentrations of PM10 and in particular of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,772 accessesView PDFCite
