Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing Approaches for Quality Evaluation of Software Engineering Experiments: An Empirical Study on Software Product Line ExperimentsViviane R. Furtado, Henrique Vignando, Victor França, Edson OliveiraJrThe Software Engineering (SE) research area must provide results of a certain quality for the sake of value. High quality research results may ensure experience and knowledge, which are essential for the technology to be transferred to the industry. One of the means to obtain such quality results is experimentation. Experimentation is a scientific method that aims to provide evidence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 25 Apr 2019 · 7,752 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRace and Consequences: An Examination of Police Abuse in AmericaNicole L. Martin, Augustine J. KposowaThe past few years have witnessed numerous media images of law enforcement officers shooting and in many cases, killing unarmed African American men and women. In significant amount of the cases, despite overwhelming video footage, police officers have not been held accountable for their actions. Most of the incidents have involved White policemen killing African American men. The study aimed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2019 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeep Erosion by Continental Ice Sheets: A Northern Missouri River Drainage Basin Perspective: North AmericaEric ClausenWhile accepting some erosion by continental ice sheets most geologists reject a previously proposed deep erosion by continental ice sheets hypothesis, yet common sense logic suggests continental ice sheets should have eroded much more than they are usually given credit for. Such situations arise in scientific communities when an accepted paradigm cannot adequately explain significant observable evidence. A new and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2019 · 8,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Geometric Generalization of the Planar Gale-Nikaidô TheoremE. Cabral BalreiraThe Gale-Nikaidô Theorem establishes global injectivity of maps defined over rectangular regions provided the Jacobian matrix is a P-matrix. We provide a purely geometric generalization of this result in the plane by showing that if the image of each edge of the rectangular domain is realized as a graph of a function over the appropriate axis, then the map is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 May 2018 · 7,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSocial Impact as an Intangible Driver in Assessing Economic Value: An Application to the Italian Third SectorCosentino Antonietta, Bongiovanni Laura, Cesari Alberto, Di Stefano CristinaMany studies have focused on Intellectual Capital (IC) applied to the Third Sector in the past few years. Despite the growing interest in intellectual capital in the field, the concept remains unclear. Few scholars and practitioners deal with the subject, however, as far as we know there are no studies that show the relationship between social impact generated by non-profit … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in Leaf Characteristics with Tree Age in Dryobalanops beccarii Dyer in a Restored Forest of Sarawak, MalaysiaEmilla Yastari LAPOK, ONG Kian Huat, John Keen CHUBO, Patricia KING Jie HungStudy on leaf properties of an endangered dipterocarp tree species, Dryobalanops beccarii, was conducted in a restored forest. The study focused on the morphology, nutrient concentration and gas exchange in well-developed leaves of D. beccarii at different ontogenetic phases. The hypothesis tested that leaf physiological and morphological changes are related to the nutrient concentration level of D. beccarii leaves in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2017 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria as Quantum ClocksAtanas Todorov AtanasovIn this study we have investigated the biological application of Wigner’s inequalities for smallest quantum clock. We have shown that the mass, size and doubling time of bacteria satisfied the Wigner’s inequalities for quantum clock. Data on 17 bacteria with mass 1×10-17 -1×10-15 kg, size 0.3-50µm and doubling time 1×103-1×105 seconds confirmed the hypothesis of Pešić that possibly the living … …Physics International, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 6 Sep 2017 · 8,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch of Effect of Peculiarities of Creasing a Polymer Sheet Material on a Rigid Base on Parameters of a Folding OperationIl'dus Zakirov, Yuriy Kataev, Alexandr Nikitin, Nargiz FaizullinaFolded elements are widespread in design of various products. They are made of sheet metal, cardboard, plastics or other materials. For example, heat exchangers, printed products, cardboard or plastic folders, folded fillers for three- or multilayered panels, which are made of paper, cardboard or plastics material can be mentioned. Although folded fillers are significantly advanced in terms of structural or … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2017 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Microbial and Heavy Metal Contents in Soils and Roots under Mangrove Forest Stands with Different Levels of Pollution in the Niger River Delta, NigeriaAroloye Ofo NumbereOil and gas exploration in the Niger Delta, has resulted to increased heavy metal contamination. It is thus postulated that increased heavy metal will lead to decreased microbial content in soil and root. To test this hypothesis ten replicates each of soil and root samples were collected from already established sites. Samples were sent to the laboratory for analyses of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2017 · 8,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Personal Strengths and Weaknesses Impact Subjective Well-being of Elderly?Nurhayati Mohamad, Khadijah Alavi, Mohd Suhaimi Mohamad et al.Everyone gets affected by the challenges of aging, but personal strengths and weaknesses of elderly people influence their well-being the most. The current study is designed to measure the impact of personal strengths (intergenerational social support and self-esteem) and weakness (loneliness) on Subjective Well-Being (SWB) of Malaysian institutionalized elders. A cross-sectional survey design is employed to arrive at the random … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2017 · 7,712 accessesView PDFCite
