Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNumerical Solution of First Order Initial Value Problems Using a Self-Starting Implicit Two-Step Obrechkoff-Type Block MethodZurni Omar, Oluwaseun AdeyeyeThe conventional two-step implicit Obrechkoff method is a discrete scheme that requires additional starting values when implemented for the numerical solution of first order initial value problems. This paper therefore presents a two-step implicit Obrechkoff-type block method which is self-starting for solving first order initial value problems, hence bypassing the rigour of developing and implementing new starting values for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2016 · 8,078 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemote Sensing Image Classification Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transfer Learning TechniquesMustafa Majeed Abd Zaid, Ahmed Abed Mohammed, Putra SumariThis study investigates the classification of aerial images depicting transmission towers, forests, farmland, and mountains. To complete the classification job, features are extracted from input photos using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. Then, the images are classified using Softmax. To test the model, we ran it for ten epochs using a batch size of 90, the Adam optimizer, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 11 Feb 2025 · 10,117 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArchitecture of an Ultra-Low-Power Fully Autonomous Universal Power Conditioner of Energy Harvester for Wireless Sensor Networks: A ReviewYeo Kim Heng, Md. Shabiul Islam, Susthitha Menon et al.A fully autonomous Universal Power Conditioner (UPC) that can accept energy from any micro-energy harvester (e.g., photovoltaic, thermoelectric, electromagnetic, piezoelectric etc.) is proposed. Generally, UPC removes the need of multiple optimized source specific converters. But, the proposed UPC architecture will be Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) with maximized efficiency to support the low energy levels generated by harvesting sources. This UPC uses a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,782 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFire Design: Direct Comparison Between Fire Curves. The Case Study of a NurseryMara Lombardi, Giuliano Rossi, Nicolò Sciarretta, Nino OrangesAccording to fire safety engineering, the present study analyzes fire design settings for simulation of fire in a nursery and proposes to compare simulations developed with a natural fire curve and nominal fire curve. Comparative analysis was developed according to thermo-fluid dynamic parameters that are relevant to the safety of the exposed and for the representative period of the danger … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,345 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Block Method for Special Third Order Ordinary Differential EquationsB. T. Olabode, Y. YusuphA linear multistep method for the direct solution of initial value problems of ordinary differential equations was presented in this article. Collocation approximation method was adopted in the derivation of the scheme and then the scheme was applied as simultaneous integrator to special third order initial value problem of ordinary differential equations. The new block method possessed the desirable feature … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,707 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Learning Styles on Education and the Teaching ProcessIbrahim Yasar KazuProblem statement: It is of great importance that individuals actively participate in the learning process; that, starting from the early ages, their awareness be raised about the efficiency of the learning styles in developing their academic success and self-confidence; and that the learning styles they have be determined. For this reason, this study aimed to reveal the learning styles having … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 17,899 accessesView PDF Cite
