Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Parametric of Sample Selection Model Using Heckman Two-Step Estimation ModelsM. S. Lola, A. A. Kamil, M.T. Abu OsmanProblem statement: It is well known that, the standard approach to estimating a sample selection models shows an inconsistent estimation results if the distributional assumption are incorrect. Approach: An important progress in the last decade to develop an alternative to overcome the deficiency is through the used of semi-parametric method. However, the usage of semi-parametric approach still does not cover … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating Snow Budget of Karaj Dam ReservoirManijeh Ghahroudi Tali, Bohloul Alijani, Reza SarvatiProblem statement: Most of the cold period precipitation of Karaj Basin falls in the form of snow. This snow and its run off are important to the dam and the local needs such as agriculture and the drinking water of Tehran. But due to the scarcity and in some elevations the lack of weather stations, measuring this snow cover and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNucleation and Crystal Growth Rates of Struvite in DTM Type Crystallizer with a Jet-Pump of Descending Suspension Flow in a Mixing ChamberJoanna Koralewska, Krzysztof Piotrowski, Boguslawa Wierzbowska, Andrzej MatyniaThe kinetic data concerning reaction-crystallization of struvite from diluted water solutions of Mg2+, NH4+ and PO43- ions in a continuous DTM-type liquid jet-pump crystallizer with internal circulation of suspension are presented and discussed. The measurements were performed with the assumption of minimal value of unit power of a jet-pump’s feeding stream, providing thus a minimal level of internal circulation intensity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultistage Median Ranked Set Sampling for Estimating the Population MedianAbdul Aziz Jemain, Amer Al-Omari, Kamarulzaman IbrahimWe modify RSS to come up with new sampling method, namely, Multistage Median Ranked Set Sampling (MMRSS). The MMRSS was suggested for estimating the population median and to increase the efficiency of the estimator for specific value of the sample size. The MMRSS was compared to the Simple Random Sampling (SRS), Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Median Ranked Set Sampling … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow of Temperature-dependent Viscous Fluid Between Parallel Heated Walls: Exact Analytical Solutions in the Presence of Viscous DissipationK. S. Adegbie, F. I. AlaoWe examine steady incompressible flow of viscous liquids between parallel heated walls of plane Couette device. The temperature of the upper and lower walls of the device are maintained at T = Tb and T = T0 respectively. Of a particular interest are exact analytical solutions of the coupled non-linear differential equations resulting from plane Couette flow obtained for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Note: Standard Scores Based on the Median and Inter-quartile RangeJames CarifioRecently when asked to help with statistical analyses of the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MEDPar) Data, I encountered a common statistical and analytical problem with this national database, which is also common to many national and health databases. This problem was the problem of extremely skewed distributions (g1 and/or g2 typically exceeding 20), which creates numerous difficulties in comparing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacodynamic Comparison of the Carbapenems Against E. coli and Klebsiella spp. Containing Extended spectrum β-lactamasesKathryn J. Eagye, Joseph L. Kuti, David P. NicolauCarbapenems are the treatment of choice for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Ertapenem is a new member of the carbapenem class, and is often grouped with imipenem and meropenem as a recommended treatment for ESBLs. However, new in vitro data question ertapenem’s inclusion as a first line treatment for these bacteria, suggesting that ertapenem has a lower likelihood of obtaining appropriate pharmacodynamic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ-Spline Estimation in a Semiparametric Regression Model with Nonlinear Time Series ErrorsJinhong You, Gemai Chen, Xian ZhouWe study the estimation problems for a partly linear regression model with a nonlinear time series error structure. The model consists of a parametric linear component for the regression coefficients and a nonparametric nonlinear component. The random errors are unobservable and modeled by a first-order Markov bilinear process. Based on a B-spline series approximation of the nonlinear component function, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
