Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Worldview-2 Satellite Imagery to Support Geoscience Studies on Phlegraean AreaPasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioWorldView-2 satellite imagery includes half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 m multispectral resolution. Because of the reduced dimensions of pixels and articulated spectral acquisition these images supply detailed information that can be used for geoscience applications, above all to investigate areas, identify land cover, bound vegetated zones, outline transformations (change detection). The aim of this study is to remark possibilities to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Separable Logarithmic Algorithm for Non-Linear OptimizationAbbas Y. Al-Bayati, Hawraz N. JabbarProblem statement: The idea of this study stemmed from the fact that most of the currently used optimization algorithms use a local quadratic representation of the objective function. It also arisen from the fact that the objective function may not be represented adequately by quadratic functions and the global minimizer may be obtained for objective functions. So, in this study, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMultivariate Modelling of the Canary Islands Banana Output. The Role of Farmer Income ExpectationConcepción González Concepción, María Candelaria Gil-Fariña, Celina Pestano-GabinoThe EU is the world‘s largest importer of bananas and the only major managed market in the international banana trade. Spain is the main banana producer within the European Union (EU), followed by France and Portugal. In all these countries the fruit is grown in overseas islands situated in tropical or sub-tropical areas and bananas are a pillar of the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,766 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Method of Voltage Sag and Swell Estimation for Power System ApplicationsA. Vetrivel, Jovitha Jerome, N. MalmuruganThis study presents four simple mathematical models to build the voltage shape with the knowledge of few parameters and detects voltage sag and swells accurately. Fourier series, cubic polynomial, Rational functions and Sum of Sin functions are used in this study to model the voltage profile. A new algorithm is developed to detect sag or swell in all the four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 4 Jul 2013 · 7,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Numerical Computation of Rational Structures and Asymptotic Standard Deviations in Causal Time Series DataConcepción González-Concepción, María Candelaria Gil-Fariña, Celina Pestano-GabinoProblem statement: The specific properties of data series are of primary importance in several sciences. In the field of time series analysis, several researchers have considered the rational approximation theory, particularly the Padé Approximation and Orthogonal Polynomials. Approach: In this study, an approach for the statistical significance of two numerical methods, the r-s and q-d algorithm, was proposed which made … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Algorithms to Identify Rational Structures in Stochastic Processes with ExpectationsConcepción González-Concepción, María Candelaria Gil-Fariña, Celina Pestano-GabinoThis research was concerned with the identification of rational models in stochastic processes and we use the Padé-Laurent Approximation to identify a Transfer-Function Model with Expectations. We mention the T-table method and focus in studying the generalised epsilon-algorithm, emphasizing the main role of the statistical significance of their numerical entries. Empirical work is made for non-causal TF models using both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,752 accessesView PDFCite
