Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishing an Evacuation Network: A Path Ranking ApproachHoussein Alaeddine, Kamal Serrhini, Mindjid Maizia, Emmanuel NéronThe evacuation of population exposed to flood hazard requires the establishment of a specific transportation network. This is to compute escape routes to be taken by affected population. At evacuation time, inhabitants of affected area must be evacuated through transportation network to safety area. The main objective of this work is to provide assistance to rescue forces in terms of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 3 Dec 2019 · 7,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFitted Reproducing Kernel Method for Solving a Class of Third-Order Periodic Boundary Value ProblemsAsad Freihat, Radwan Abu-Gdairi, Hammad Khalil et al.In this article, the reproducing kernel Hilbert space W24 [0, 1] is employed for solving a class of third-order periodic boundary value problem by using fitted reproducing kernel algorithm. The reproducing kernel function is built to get fast accurately and efficiently series solutions with easily computable coefficients throughout evolution the algorithm under constraint periodic conditions within required grid points. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 11 May 2016 · 7,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW APPROACH OF LOCAL FEATURE DESCRIPTORS USING MOMENT INVARIANTSLee-Yeng Ong, Siong-Hoe Lau, Voon-Chet KooMoment invariants have been widely introduced in recognizing planar objects for a few decades. This is due the robustness of moment function in distinguishing the original identity of object under various two Dimensional (2D) transformations. A set of moments computed from a planar images, represents the global description of an object's shape and geometrical features of an image. Since global … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPROXIMATION OF ESTIMATES IN THE SUSCEPTIBLE-INFECTIOUS-REMOVED EPIDEMIC MODELChanghyuck OhIn this note, a simple approximation for the maximum likelihood estimates of infection and removal parameters used in the Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) epidemic model is presented. This approximation can be applied when the numbers of susceptible and infected individuals are observable only at discrete points in time. Since, in such cases, a closed form of the likelihood function is generally too … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 6,763 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Kaempferia parviflora on Ischemic Brain Injury in the ratWathita Phachonpai, Sinthuporn Maharun, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Stroke often causes irreversible neuronal damage and related behavioral deficits. The lack of effective and widely applicable pharmacological treatments for ischemic stroke patients may explain a growing interest in traditional plant medicines. We investigated the ability of consuming Kaempferia parviflora extract, a Thai medicinal plant reputed for neuroprotective effects against brain damage, reduced infarct volume and improve neurological … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2012 · 9,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreating a GIS Application for Retail Facilities Planning in Jeddah CityAbdulkader A. MuradProblem statement: The aim of this study is to create a GIS application for retail facilities planning in Saudi Arabia. Jeddah city has been selected as a case study representing a major commercial city in Saudi Arabia. Approach: The crated application covers several retail planning analysis issues. These issues are divided in to two major groups called the city scale … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopological Conjugacy Between Seizure and Flat ElectroencephalographyTahir Ahmad, Tan Lit KenProblem statement: Seizure and Flat EEG which are modeled as two distinct dynamical systems share the same dynamics in the topological viewpoint. Approach: Motions of seizure and Flat EEG of the dynamical systems were written as set points. A function that maps between these two sets is then built. By using topological conjugacy, they are shown to share the same … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 6,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpline Estimator in Multi-Response Nonparametric Regression Model with Unequal Correlation of ErrorsBudi Lestari, I. Nyoman Budiantara, Sony Sunaryo, Muhammad MashuriProblem statement: In many applications two or more dependent variables are observed at several values of the independent variables, such as at time points. The statistical problems are to estimate functions that model their dependences on the independent variables and to investigate relationships between these functions. Nonparametric regression model, especially smoothing splines provide powerful tools to model the functions which … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,173 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 abstractThe Productivity and Human Capital in the Japanese Software Industry: The View of Service InnovationKazunori Minetaki, Toshihiko TakemuraProblem statement: It has been pointed out the weak competitiveness of Japanese software industry. The industrial characteristic of the software industry in Japan is the subcontract system. There are numerous pieces of anecdotal evidence suggesting that the Japanese software industry suffers from low productivity growth on a par with that of other non-manufacturers particularly those in the services sector.
