Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Geography of Sex Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation of Children in Minnesota, 2007-2015Jose Javier LopezThis article provides a snapshot of the geographic patterns of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors' court cases and the affected communities in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The regional distributions of cases seen in court dealing with solicitation, inducement and promotion of prostitution, solicitation of children to engage in sexual conduct and use of a minor in a … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2017 · 8,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSparse Representation Tracking with Auxiliary Adaptive Appearance ModelsJunqiu Wang, Chao Yang, Zhichao Gan, Yasushi YagiWe propose an effective tracking algorithm based on sparse representation and auxiliary adaptive appearance modeling. Based on a sparse representation, l1 minimization can follow targets in challenging situations. Unfortunately, tracking approaches based on l1 minimization are likely to be inefficient because they measure using dense coefficient distributions. The number of target candidates can be very large when the state space … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2017 · 7,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Simulation of a Radiative MHD flow in a Rotating FluidHarouna NarouaA hydromagnetic free convection flow has been modeled and simulated. The flow is considered unsteady, near a moving infinite flat plate in a rotating fluid. For the radiative heat transfer to be significant, very high temperatures are involved rendering the problem highly non-linear. The simulation is based on a generic finite element scheme coupled with a stepwise Lagrange polynomial. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2016 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Lignin Fraction Extracted from Brazilian Energy CropsDiogo José Horst, Jhon Jairo Ramírez Behainne, Pedro Paulo de Andrade Junior, Luís Filippe SerpeThis study quantifies the extraction performance and some properties of the lignin obtained from six crops with potential for generating thermal energy in Brazil. A full factorial design (22) with four replicates including two extraction methods and two particles size distributions was adopted for assessing the fraction of lignin, as well as its Higher Heating Value (HHV) and composition given … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2015 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdeology, Decision Planning and Operational Scenarios and Features in Cross Docking ModelsWan Nor Ashikin Wan Ahmad Fatthi, Adibah Shuib, Rosma Mohd Dom, Ainon Mardhiyyah ShahidinCross docking warehousing has become an important logistics strategy in the supply chain management for many distributions industries. The idea of cross docking is to eliminate the storage and order picking function in the warehouse while still allowing it to serve its receiving and shipping function. In the current literature, many cross docking models have been proposed and these models … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 8 Jan 2015 · 7,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoupled Hydrodynamic-Water Quality Model for Pollution Control Scenarios in El-Burullus Lake (Nile Delta, Egypt)A. El-Adawy, A. M. Negm, O. C. Saavedra V et al.El-Burullus Lake is affected by increasing and extensive human activities, rapid social-economic development and the construction of fish ponds nearby. This has significantly impacted the health of the lake eco-system. On the foundation of the two-dimensional depth averaged hydrodynamic model, distributions of the salinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Ammonium (NH4) were modeled. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 10 Nov 2014 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Analysis with Legendre Moment DescriptorsAmy Chiang, Simon LiaoIn this research, a numerical integration method is proposed to improve the computational accuracy of Legendre moments. To clarify the improved computation scheme, image reconstructions from higher order of Legendre moments, up to 240, are conducted. With the more accurately generated moments, the distributions of image information in a finite set of Legendre moments are investigated. We have concluded that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,363 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROBABILISTIC PERIODIC REVIEW INVENTORYMODELUSING LAGRANGE TECHNIQUE AND FUZZY ADAPTIVE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATIONH. A. Fergany, N. A. El-Hefnawy, O. M. HollahThe integration between inventory model and Artificial Intelligent (AI) represents the rich area of research since last decade. In this study we investigate probabilistic periodic review <Q<qm, N> inventory model with mixture shortage (backorder and lost sales) using Lagrange multiplier technique and Fuzzy Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (FAPSO) under restrictions. The objective of these algorithms is to find the optimal … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2014 · 7,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMMON FRAMEWORK: A HYBRID APPROACH TO INTEGRATE CROSS-PLATFORM COMPONENTS IN MOBILE APPLICATIONJoachim Perchat, Mikael Desertot, Sylvain LecomteThere is a multitude of mobile OS: iOS android, Windows Phone 8 and each OS provides its own standards and tools. This heterogeneity in the mobile domain forces developers to implement an application for each mobile platform. To achieve that, developers need to master several languages (Java, Objective-C...). They also need to have several devices at their disposal (PC, Mac, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 22 Jul 2014 · 8,951 accessesView PDFCite
