Autonomous corrosion detection in gas pipelines: A hybrid-fuzzy classifier approach using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation protocols
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, a customized classifier is presented for the industry-practiced nondestructive evaluation (NDE) protocols using a hybrid-fuzzy inference system (FIS) to classify the corrosion and distinguish it from the ...
Ownership structure, corporate performance and failure: Evidence from panel data of emerging market the case of Jordan
(
Virtus Interpress
, 2009 , Article)
This study investigates the impact of ownership structure (mix and concentrate) on a company's performance and failure in a panel estimation using 167 Jordanian companies during 1989-2006. The empirical evidence in this ...
Numerical solutions of two heat transfer limits of MFM square duct flow using MatLab program
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2009 , Article)
The heat transfer of a magneto-fluid-dynamics (MFM) laminar flow in an electricallyinsulated square duct subjected to two boundary condition limits of constant heat flux and constant wall temperature is examined numerically. ...
On certain estimates for marcinkiewicz integrals and extrapolation
(
Universidad de Barcelona
, 2009 , Article)
We obtain Lp estimates for parametric Marcinkiewicz integrals associated to polynomial mappings and with rough kernels on the unit sphere as well as on the radial direction. These estimates will allow us to use an extrapolation ...
Fuzzy Logic in neurosurgery: predicting poor outcomes after lumbar disk surgery in 501 consecutive patients
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
Background: Despite a lot of research into patient selection, a significant number of patients fail to benefit from surgery for symptomatic lumbar disk herniation. We have used Fuzzy Logic-based fuzzy inference system (FIS) ...
Total and high molecular weight adiponectin in patients with coronary artery disease
(
Wolters Kluwer Health
, 2009 , Article)
BACKGROUND: Serum adiponectin inversely correlates with the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical significance of measuring high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in addition to ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
A Property Based Approach for Simultaneous Process and Molecular Design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
In this work, property clustering techniques and group contribution methods are combined to enable simultaneous consideration of process performance requirements and molecular property constraints. Using this methodology, ...
Digitally-tuned resolver converter
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Sinusoidal encoders provide electrical signals related to the sine and cosine of the mechanical shaft angle θ. An analog converter is described for the linearization of these signals and hence for linear computation of θ. ...
Financial progress and the stability of long-run money demand: Implications for the conduct of monetary policy in emerging economies
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2009 , Article)
This paper examines whether recent financial changes in three emerging market economies in the Gulf region (Bahrain, the UAE, and Qatar) have distorted the character and the stability of their underlying long-run money ...
