Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSEQUENTIAL ESTIMATION OF THE SQUARE OF THE RAYLEIGH PARAMETERMohamed TahirThe problem addressed is that of sequentially estimating the square of the parameter of the Rayleigh distribution, subject to a weighted squared loss plus cost of sampling. We propose a sequential procedure and provide a second-order asymptotic expansion for the incurred regret. It is seen that the asymptotic regret is negative for a range of values of the parameter. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2014 · 6,439 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBlockchain-Enabled Privacy-Preserving Access Control for Electronic Health Records Using Smart ContractsG. Bhanu Prasad, M. Venkateswara RaoElectronic medical records are crucial for providing high-quality healthcare, but they also raise serious privacy and security issues. Traditional centralised storage systems are vulnerable to manipulation, hacking, and illegal access. This study suggests a smart contract-based blockchain architecture that provides decentralised, unaltered, and privacy-preserving access control for EMRs. The model integrates cryptographic techniques like AES-256 encryption and SHA-256 hashing for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,306 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParasitic Loads and Growth Performance of Goats and Kids under Sequential and Mixed Species Grazing with Cattle at a Constant Stocking RateRenita Woods Marshall, Sebhatu Gebrelul, Shonta Manuel et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sequential and mixed species grazing on parasitic loads and growth performance of goat kids. The study was conducted between June and October, 2013. Forty eight (48) "Spanish" kids and 28 Brangus calves were randomly divided into four treatment groups; goats grazing alone (GOA, control), Goats Followed by Cattle (GFC), … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 Jun 2015 · 7,537 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParallel Memetic Algorithm for VLSI Circuit Partitioning Problem using Graphical Processing UnitsP. Subbaraj, P. SivakumarProblem statement: Memetic Algorithm (MA) is a form of population-based hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) coupled with an individual learning procedure capable of performing local refinements. Here we used genetic algorithm to explore the search space and simulated annealing as a local search method to exploit the information in the search region for the optimization of VLSI netlist bi-Partitioning problem. However, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 27 Feb 2012 · 7,090 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the State Assignment Problem Using Stochastic Search Aided with Simulated AnnealingWalid M. AlyProblem statement: Solving the state assignment problem means finding the optimum assignment for each state within a sequential digital circuit. These optimum assignments will result in decreasing the hardware realization cost and increasing the reliability of the digital circuit. Unfortunately, the state assignment problem belongs to the class of nondeterministic polynomial time problems (NP complete) which requires heavy computations. Different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,966 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Application of Combined Model for Tehran Metropolitan Area Incorporating Captive Travel BehaviorShahriar A. Zargari, Morteza Araghi, Kouros MohammadianTo overcome deficiencies of the sequential transportation planning approach, this research applies a Combined Trip Distribution and Assignment Model (CTDAM) for the simultaneous prediction. The proposed combined model can itself be reformulated as an Equivalent Minimization Problem (EMP). When applying the Evans algorithm to the EMP, the CTDAM is expected to be usable in a realistic application. The objective of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,855 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemical Distribution of Trace Metals and Assessment of Anthropogenic Pollution in Sediments of Old Nakagawa River, Tokyo, JapanH.M. Zakir, Naotatsu Shikazono, Kazuo OtomoThe geochemical distributions of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) were examined in sediments collected from Old Nakagawa River (NR), Tokyo, Japan. A widely used 5-step sequential extraction procedure was employed for the fractionation of the metals and the concentrations were measured in the liquid extracts by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,453 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Subsurface Appraisal: A Key Link to the Success of Development Projects-Few ExamplesVirendra Singh, Ivan Yemez, Elena Izaguirre, Alvaro RaceroDuring exploration and production phases, the life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: Exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. Of particular interest is the appraisal stage, where billions of dollars are spent across the oil and gas industry on data gathering activities with a view to reducing subsurface uncertainties towards optimizing reservoir development and management. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2017 · 8,516 accessesView PDF Cite
