Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSome Effects of Alternative Foreign Currency Translation Methodologies on two Short-Term Liquidity RatiosPaul E. HoltThis study focused on two short-term liquidity ratios, the current ratio and inventory turnover and attempted to identify, in terms of empirical properties, if and in what ways foreign currency translation methodologies generate different results. Fifty companies’ accounts were translated from U.S. dollars to U.K. pounds. Post-translation Spearman rank correlation coefficients were extremely high for all methodology pairs, but t … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 8 Mar 2012 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKenyan Sign Language Translation Using SSD MobileNet-v2 FPNlite ModelHenry Muchiri Muriithi, Geoffrey Kasembeli WanjalaSpeech impairment is a disability that impacts an individual's ability to communicate effectively through speech and hearing. Those affected often rely on alternative forms of communication, such as sign language. While sign language has become increasingly widespread in recent years, a significant challenge persists for non-sign language users, particularly in Kenya, where effective communication with sign language users remains a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2024 · 5,599 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Visual Odometry Performance Based on Road ClassificationsDayang Nur Salmi Dharmiza, Awang Salleh, Kuryati KipliAccuracyand robustness are among the main concerns in vehicle positioning systems andautonomous applications. These concerns are crucial in GNSS-deniedenvironments; thus, we need an alternative technology to overcome this problem.In recent years, vision-based localization known as visual odometry has gainedconsiderable attention among researchers. Visual odometry is a vision-basedpose estimation and it has been developed for mobile object localization suchas robots and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 11 · 26 Oct 2022 · 5,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Recombinant Proteins in Insect CellsChristian Kollewe, Andreas VilcinskasAmong the wide range of methods and expression hosts available for the heterologous production of recombinant proteins, insect cells are ideal for the production of complex proteins requiring extensive post-translational modification. This review article provides an overview of the available insect-cell expression systems and their properties, focusing on the widely-used Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS). We discuss the different strategies … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 13,742 accessesView PDFCite
