Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFinancing College Through Student Loans: An Incentive for Academic Performance?Gunnar B˚ardsen, Snorre Lindset, Peter ReschStudent debt in the United States has reached unprecedented levels. Whereas student loans have paved the way to a college degree for millions of young Americans, it is not clear if student debt acts an incentive for academic performance or not. Using the results from a survey conducted with 877 undergraduate business students in a large public university in the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2023 · 8,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntelligent Attendance System Using Artificial Neural Network Based on Students’ BackgroundDaban Abdulsalam Abdullah, Karzan Wakil, Shwan H.H. AlshatriDetermining the rate of student attendance is an important task in determining the completion of the courses. Despite the success of the technology, it is unfortunate that in many academic institutions, the current systems used to detect student absences. Furthermore, one of the crucial problems in the attendance system does not count student background for continuing in the courses. In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 7 · 21 Jul 2020 · 6,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardening Effects of In-Situ Aging for a Laser Welded Maraging SteelMilton Sergio Fernandes de Lima, Rafael Humberto de Mota Siqueira, Sheila Medeiros de Carvalho, Antonio Jorge AbdallaMaraging steels are ultra-high strength alloys which have been successfully laser welded to obtain structural components. For most of the applications these steels are in an aged state to attain tensile strength up to 1.5 GPa, although welding induces local softening due to dissolution of precipitates. This paper aims to investigate the effect of in-situ aging of the maraging steel … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2019 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Rainfall Characteristics for Monitoring of the Extreme Rainfall Event in Makassar CityWahidah Sanusi, Usman Mulbar, Hendra Jaya et al.Flooding is a common problem that occurs in some regions of Indonesia, including Makassar city. In the planning of flood control, rainfall variables are very necessary as the frequency, intensity and duration of rainfall. The relationship of these variables can be expressed in a curve Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF). The objectives of this study are to identify the best fitting distribution of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Apr 2017 · 7,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Optimization of a Porous Ti6Al4V Bone Construct Using Additive ManufacturingJeffrey Wilk, Glenn Sanders, Shelby Marks et al.Patient specific implants are becoming viable treatment options in some orthopaedic applications through advances in additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques. One potential application is for treatment of segmental bone defects, particularly in patients suffering from bone cancer. Current treatment options are: Amputation, megaprosthesis, or allografts. These treatments are often highly invasive, may require a partial/full joint replacement and are … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2017 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiquid Crystalline Polymers Compatibilization and Adhesion Enhancement by Reactive Blending in Post-Consumers PET’sAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioA method for PET mechanical properties enhancement by reactive blending with HBA/HNA Liquid Crystalline Polymers for in situ highly fibrillar composites preparation is presented. LCP/PET blends were reactive extruded in presence of Pyromellitic Di-Anhydride (PMDA) and then characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermally Stimulated Currents and tensile mechanical properties. The formation of specific macromolecular structures, where the PET, the LCP … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdhesion and Hardness Evaluation of Modified Silicone-Dammar as Natural Coating MaterialsR. Zakaria, A. H. AhmadProblem statement: Dammar is a natural resin that used anciently in varnish production. The use of dammar natural resin in coating is limited by undesirable properties for application in coating where it is considered very brittle. Due to dammar's brittle nature, an aged dammar coating can be easily scratched or abraded. Approach: Dammar natural resin could be modified into Silicone-Dammar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 20 Mar 2012 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Regression to Establish Weights for a Set of Composite Equations through a Numerical Analysis Approach: A Case of Admission Criteria to a CollegeRamzi Naim Nasser, Viviane NaimyProblem statement: Mathematically little is known of college admission criteria as in school grade point average, admission test scores or rank in class and weighting of the criteria into a composite equation. Approach: This study presented a method to obtain weights on “composite admission” equation. The method uses an iterative procedure to build a prediction equation for an optimal weighted … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
