Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHybrid Block Method for Direct Numerical Approximation of Second Order Initial Value Problems Using Taylor Series ExpansionsOluwaseun Adeyeye, Zurni OmarIn this article, a hybrid block method is utilized for the numerical approximation of second order Initial Value Problems (IVPs). The rigor of reduction to a system of first order initial value problems is bypassed as the hybrid block method directly solves the second order IVPs. Likewise, the methodology utilized also avoids the cumbersome steps involved in the widely adopted … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2017 · 7,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Solution of the Taylor-Quette Flow Problem: A Commodious Statistical ApproachAyoob Karimi, Hassan Zeytoonian, Shahin NavardiProblem statement: The main problem in solving of the Boltzmann equation by statistical methods is its long computational time (CPU time). The problem of decreasing of CPU time usage in statistical solution methods of Boltzmann equation for rarefied vortex flows was studied. Approach: In this study the Boltzmann equation in a rarefied Taylor-Quette flow regime was solved using the new … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExplicit Direct Integrators of RK Type for Solving Special Fifth-Order Ordinary Differential EquationsMohammed S. Mechee, Murtaza A. KadhimThe main contribution of this paper is the development of direct explicit methods of Runge-Kutta (RK) type for solving special fifth-Order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). For this purpose, we have generalized RKD and RKT methods of special third and fourth-order ODEs. Using Taylor expansion, we have derived the algebraic equations of algebraic equations of order conditions for the proposed RKM … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2016 · 7,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNeural-Based Models of Semiconductor Devices for SPICE SimulatorHanene Ben Hammouda, Mongia Mhiri, Zièd Gafsi, Kamel BesbesThe paper addresses a simple and fast new approach to implement Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models for the MOS transistor into SPICE. The proposed approach involves two steps, the modeling phase of the device by NN providing its input/output patterns, and the SPICE implementation process of the resulting model. Using the Taylor series expansion, a neural based small-signal model is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNondestructive Test Using a 3D Computer Vision System for Damage Detection of StructuresTaylor M.V. Szeto, Sun YiStructures that do not have a definitive map nor a clearly known state of health may exist underground, beyond our reach and in unsuitable environments. Nuclear facilities contain underground tunnels that exhaust hazardous gases. Industry has miles of sewage lines beneath it that emit flammable and toxic gases. Regular inspection and maintenance is an essential part of failure prevention, however, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2018 · 8,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDoes it Get Better?: Childhood Bullying and the Positive Mental Health of LGBT Canadians in AdulthoodTamara Edkins, Tracey Peter, Catherine Taylor et al.Globally, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) individuals are a highly discriminated group. Few academics have explored whether LGBTQ youth who experience discrimination can “get better”, especially with respect to their positive mental health. Using minority stress theory, the current study explored whether there was a long-term relationship between childhood bullying and positive mental health in adulthood among LGBTQ … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2018 · 8,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessing Community Health Risks: Proactive Vs Reactive SamplingSarah Taylor, Chelsea Papadopoulos, Sarah Vieillet, Peter Di MarcoProblem statement: A considerable number of native birds died in the West Australian coastal town of Esperance and surroundings during late 2006 and early 2007, which raised community concerns about environmental contamination. Forensic investigations of dead birds suggested that lead may have been the causative agent. At the time, lead and nickel, as well as iron ore and other materials, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSensitivity Analysis of an Optimal Access Road Location in HillyForest Area: A GIS ApproachMohd I. Hasmadi, J.C. TaylorThere are various models for establishing the efficient forest road allocation and evaluating optimum density of forest roads network for the transport of timber commodity. Most of them are based on the calculation of common timber transport costs and costs for forest roads. Today, forest road design from traditional method continues to be transformed by remote sensing technology and advancement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Novel Rodent Model of Autism: Intraventricular Infusions of Propionic Acid Increase Locomotor Activity and Induce Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress in Discrete Regions of Adult Rat BrainDerrick F. MacFabe, Karina Rodríguez-Capote, Jennifer E. Hoffman et al.Innate neuroinflammatory changes, increased oxidative stress and disorders of glutathione metabolism may be involved in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is a dietary and gut bacterial short chain fatty acid which can produce brain and behavioral changes reminiscent of ASD following intraventricular infusion in rats. Adult Long-Evans rats were given intraventricular infusions of either PPA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 12,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBoosted Regression Estimates of Spatial Data: Pointwise InferenceMarco Di Marzio, Charles C. TaylorIn this study simple nonparametric techniques have been adopted to estimate the trend surface of the Swiss rainfall data. In particular we employed the Nadaraya-Watson smoother and in addition, an adapted-by boosting-version of it. Additionally, we have explored the use of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator for the construction of pointwise confidence intervals. Overall, boosting does seem to improve the estimate as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
