Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Euro: Future Prospects and Consideration for Non-Euro CountriesFarhad Ghannadian, Irina PenovskaProblem statement: Many more Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) have decided to adopt the euro. Given the attraction and uncertainties associated with moving into a common currency, the potential gains and losses of a currency adoption was of academic and political interest. The economic impact of implementing a common currency was examined by studying the before and after of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2011 · 6,899 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Preference Selection Index and TOPSIS in Product Aspect Extraction and RankingSaif Addeen Ahmad Alrababah, Nawaf Omara AlsrehinDecision-making methodologies can differentiate between several types of criterion weights. The subjective weights of decision-makers are prone to be influenced by various factors, including their level of knowledge, experience and competency. This may result in the wrong evaluation of the criteria due to the inherent ambiguity of human judgments, leading to unavoidable assessment errors. Beyond that, while assessing the decision … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 7 · 24 May 2024 · 4,838 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Occlusal Convergence and Margin Design in Relation to Survival of Glass-Ceramic Crowns: A ReviewJanine Tiu, J. Neil Waddell, Basil Al-Amleh, Michael V. SwainThis review aims to report on preparation geometry parameters and their relation to crown failures in complete glass-ceramic clinical studies. A review of the literature was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed with an additional manual search. The articles were screened through an inclusion and exclusion criteria and information regarding the Total Occlusal Convergence (TOC) angle and margin design was extracted along with … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2015 · 8,617 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Artificial Neural Network and Expert System for Material Classification of Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymer CompositesBasheer Ahmed Ahmed Ali, Mohd Sapuan Salit, Edi Syams Zainudin, Mohamed OthmanDiversified choice of materials from natural fibre reinforced polymer composites with similar properties complicate the materials selection for engineering products. Implementation of expert system alone makes it difficult to scrutinize the vast selected materials. Hybrid of expert system with neural network technology is desired. Classification of material through neural network under various criteria influences the decision in narrowing down the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,433 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Numerical Approach for Evaluating the Convergence-Confinement Curve of a Rock Tunnel Considering Hoek-Brown Strength CriterionPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method is frequently used for the analysis of the behavior of a tunnel and to define the support structures necessary to guarantee its stability. The reasons why it is used extensively, at least in the preliminary study phases of a tunnel are: The fundamental parameters of the problem (the diameter and depth of the tunnel, as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,642 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Retinal Image Registration Using Mutual InformationPradeepa Palraj, Ila VennilaImage registration has tremendous applications in medical industry both in diagnosis and therapy. But registering the retinal images is very difficult task because of the structural and illumination criteria. Normal registration algorithms are proved to be less effective and more complicated for such applications. This study aims at combining two methods of retinal image registration: Vessel based and non-vessel based … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 18 Sep 2013 · 6,690 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Convergence of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method in Multivariate CaseDenismar Alves Nogueira, Thelma Safadi, Daniel Furtado Ferreira, Eric Batista FerreiraThe formal convergence diagnosis of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is made using univariate and multivariate criteria. In 1998, a multivariate extension of the univariate criterion of multiple sequences was proposed. However, due to some problems of that multivariate criterion, an alternative form of calculation was proposed in addition to the two new alternatives for multivariate convergence criteria. In … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 8 Jan 2013 · 7,019 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplicit Finite Difference Solution of Heat Transfer Problems of Fish Packages in PrecoolingA. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, M.M.H. Megat Ahmad et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized explicit finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure heat transfer from the surfaces of Pangasius Sutchi fish samples suddenly exposed to a cooling environment. Regular shaped packages in the form of an infinite slab were considered and a generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form. An accurate sample … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,163 accessesView PDF Cite
