Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOn the Sensitivity of a Dynamic Measure of Financial InequalityGuglielmo D’Amico, Stefania Scocchera, Loriano StorchiIn the present work, we investigate the sensitivity of the dynamic Theil index computed under a Markov reward model with respect to structured perturbations affecting the underlying Markov process. The model is applied to the sovereign credit spread evolution as a proxy for financial risk, which are driven by the sovereign credit rating dynamic. The introduction of such perturbations allows … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Oct 2019 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Intrahippocampal γ Aminobutyrate B Receptor on Pain Sensitivity during Estrous CycleMahnaz Taherianfard, Rohollah GhorbaniProblem statement: There is a relationship between sexual hormones and pain sensitivity and also a role for hippocampal GABAB receptor in nociception. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of intrahippocampal injection of GABAB receptor agonist (baclofen) and GABAB receptor antagonist (CGP35348) on pain sensitivity during the estrous cycle. Approach: Forty eight adult female rats … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 26 Nov 2011 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleParallel Calculation Sensitivity Function for Multi Tasking EnvironmentsHamed Al Rjoub, Ahmed Al-Sha'orProblem statement: Calculating sensitive functions for a large dimension control system to find the unknowns vectors for a linear system in both single and multi processors, is not considered internally compatible with multi tasking environments, so breaking the process can cost time and memory and it couldn't be paused, resumed and saved as patterns for later continuity. This study is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Original Geometric Programming Problem Algorithm to Solve Two Coefficients Sensitivity AnalysisAbbas Y. Al-Bayati, Huda E. KhalidProblem statement: It has been noticed by Dinkel and Kochenberger that they developed sensitivity procedure for Posynomial Geometric Programming Problems based on making a small changes in one coefficient. Approach: This study presented an original algorithm for finding the ranging analysis while studying the effect of perturbations in the original coefficients without resolving the problem, this proposed procedure had been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSensitivity Analysis of an Optimal Access Road Location in HillyForest Area: A GIS ApproachMohd I. Hasmadi, J.C. TaylorThere are various models for establishing the efficient forest road allocation and evaluating optimum density of forest roads network for the transport of timber commodity. Most of them are based on the calculation of common timber transport costs and costs for forest roads. Today, forest road design from traditional method continues to be transformed by remote sensing technology and advancement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCalculate Sensitivity Function Using Parallel AlgorithmH. A. RjoubProblem statement: To calculate sensitivity functions for a large dimension control system using one processor, it takes huge time to find the unknowns vectors for a linear system, which represents the mathematical model of the physical control system. This study is an attempt to solve the same problem in parallel to reduce the time factor needed and increase the efficiency. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChamaemelum nobile L. Aqueous Extract Represses Endogenous Glucose Production and Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic MiceLemhadri Ahmed, Remy Burcelin, Thierry Sulpice, Mohamed EddouksThe present study was undertaken in order to evaluate the possible mechanisms of action involved in the hypoglycaemic activity of the aqueous extract of Chamaemelum nobile (CN) (20 mg kg-1). This study was carried out in multi low-dose streptozotocin-induced (MLDS) diabetic mice. Hypoglycaemic effect of CN was studied after both single and repeated oral administration of CN aqueous extract (20 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSensitivity of Okra Growth Indices to Various Moisture ConditionsAkeem MakindeThis study evaluates the effects of flooding conditions on two Okra cultivars (Ibadan local and Jokoso) at Abeokuta, Nigeria. The flooding conditions vary from continuous Flooding (FLD), Wetting after three Days (W3D), Wetting after five Days (W5D), Wetting after seven Days (W7D), and Wetting after ten Days (W10D). The agronomic parameters (leaf width, leaf length, plant height, numbers of leaves, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 4 Aug 2022 · 6,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevalence and Antibiotic-Sensitivity of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Pyogenic Skin Affections of Animals and HumanMaha I. Hamed, Sylvia O. Ahmed, Doaa S. Sayed, Hossam-Elden M. HassanMRSA infections commonly present as skin and soft tissue infections in man and animals. Treatment usually includes opening of abscess and drainage with or without antibiotic therapy. MRSA is usually resistant to certain antibiotics including methicillin, oxacillin, penicillin and ampicillin. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of MRSA in man and animals with suppurative … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2019 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEVALUATING THE SENSITIVITY OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA, ESCHERICHIA COLI AND SALMONELLA TYPHI TO VARIOUS BRANDS OF AMPICILLIN AND AMOXICILLIN AVAILABLE IN NIGERIAE. E. Anomohanran, U. B. Owhe-Ureghe, D. A. EhwariemeThe failure of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of some ailments has become a great concern to health care practitioners. This could be as a result of low quality drugs, sneaked into the market by those who fake them, thus, this study was carried out to evaluate the sensitivity of various brands of Amoxicillin and Ampicillin on clinical isolates of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Oct 2014 · 8,206 accessesView PDFCite
