Fourier Transform Of Bessel Type Functions, Niyazi Yükçü
Fourier Transform Of Bessel Type Functions, Niyazi Yükçü
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
Bessel type functions (BTFs), which are one of the types of exponential type functions (ETFs), are used usually as basis functions in the multi-center atomic and molecular integrals to better understand physical and chemical properties of matter. As a general rule, the most promising approach for the calculation of multi-center integrals appears to be the called the Fourier transform method (FTM) where multi-center integrals are transformed into inverse Fourier integrals. In this approach, basis functions have not simplicity to make mathematical operations, but their Fourier transforms are easier to use. In this work, with the help of FTM and some …

Despite abundant research on service quality within the medical industry, few studies have applied performance evaluation matrix (PEM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in this medical industry. Therefore, this study aims to discuss integrating the PEM and AHP methods in order to determine and prioritize areas of improvement in service quality. Data were analyzed through PEM in order to identify eight items that needed improvement. The improvement priority of these items was determined by the AHP method. Therefore, the results provide suggestions to improve service quality and to enhance the hospital standard processes to meet the customers’ needs. This study …

Fusion Of Completed Local Binary Pattern Features With Curvelet Features For Mammogram Classification, Syed Jamal Safdar Gardezi, Ibrahima Faye
Fusion Of Completed Local Binary Pattern Features With Curvelet Features For Mammogram Classification, Syed Jamal Safdar Gardezi, Ibrahima Faye
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
In this paper, fusion of texture features to improve classification accuracy by false positive reduction in mammograms is proposed. The method uses texture features obtained from completed local binary pattern (CLBP) and grey level texture features obtained from the Curvelet sub-bands. In the current experiments, mass and normal patches were obtained from Mammographic image analysis Society (MIAS) and Image retrieval in medical applications (IRMA) datasets for mammograms. Texture features from both methods are combined together to obtain the feature fusion matrix. Then Nearest neighbor classifier was used for classification to evaluate the individual as well as enhanced features obtained from …

Location-Based Service Composition Algorithm In A Wireless Ad Hoc Network, Songqiao Han, Xiaoling Hao, Hailiang Huang, Songxin Wang, Yong Zhang
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
Location is increasingly becoming a crucial criterion of Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile computing environments due to the widespread adoption of location-sensing devices. Although some previous work has studied the service composition protocols based on QoS in ad hoc networks, they do not explicitly take services’ location into account. In this paper, we present a distributed service composition algorithm suitable for ad hoc networks to find the optimal composite service with the lowest cost while satisfying distance constraint. Based on the idea of a source-initiated on-demand protocol, a transmission approach of service request messages is exploited to dynamically discover …

We have undertaken an ambitious program to visually classify all galaxies in the five CANDELS fields down to H < 24.5 involving the dedicated efforts of over 65 individual classifiers. Once completed, we expect to have detailed morphological classifications for over 50,000 galaxies spanning 0 < z < 4 over all the fields, with classifications from 3 to 5 independent classifiers for each galaxy. Here, we present our detailed visual classification scheme, which was designed to cover a wide range of CANDELS science goals. This scheme includes the basic Hubble sequence types, but also includes a detailed look at mergers and interactions, the clumpiness of galaxies, k-corrections, and a variety of other structural properties. In this paper, we focus on the first field to be completed—GOODS-S, which has been classified at various depths. The wide area coverage spanning the full field (wide+deep+ERS) includes 7634 galaxies that have been classified by at least three different people. In the deep area of the field, 2534 galaxies have been classified by at least five different people at three different depths. With this paper, we release to the public …

Tungsten Disulphide Based All Fiber Q-Switching Cylindrical-Vector Beam Generation, J. Lin, K. Yan, Yong Zhou, L. X. Xu, C. Gu, Qiwen Zhan
Electro-Optics and Photonics Faculty Publications
We proposed and demonstrated an all fiber passively Q-switching laser to generate cylindrical-vectorbeam, a two dimensional material,tungsten disulphide (WS2), was adopted as a saturable absorber inside the laser cavity, while a few-mode fiber Bragg grating was used as a transverse mode-selective output coupler. The repetition rate of the Q-switching output pulses can be varied from 80 kHz to 120 kHz with a shortest duration of 958 ns. Attributed to the high damage threshold and polarization insensitivity of the WS2 based saturable absorber, the radially polarized beam and azimuthally polarized beam can be easily generated in the Q-switchingfiber laser.

The Oedipus Hex: Regulating Family After Marriage Equality, Courtney Megan Cahill
The Oedipus Hex: Regulating Family After Marriage Equality, Courtney Megan Cahill
Scholarly Publications
Now that national marriage equality for same-sex couples has become the law of the land, commentators are turning their attention from the relationships into which some gays and lesbians enter to the mechanisms on which they — and many others — rely in order to reproduce. Even as one culture war makes way for another, however, there is something that binds them: a desire to establish the family. This Article focuses on a problematic manifestation of that desire: the incest prevention justification. The incest prevention justification posits that the law ought to regulate alternative reproduction in order to minimize the …

New Entropy Estimators With Smaller Root Mean Squared Error, Amer Ibrahim Al-Omari
New Entropy Estimators With Smaller Root Mean Squared Error, Amer Ibrahim Al-Omari
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
New estimators of entropy of continuous random variable are suggested. The proposed estimators are investigated under simple random sampling (SRS), ranked set sampling (RSS), and double ranked set sampling (DRSS) methods. The estimators are compared with Vasicek (1976) and Al-Omari (2014) entropy estimators theoretically and by simulation in terms of the root mean squared error (RMSE) and bias values. The results indicate that the suggested estimators have less RMSE and bias values than their competing estimators introduced by Vasicek (1976) and Al-Omari (2014).

An Empirical Study On Different Ranking Methods For Effective Data Classification, Ilangovan Sangaiah, A. Vincent Antony Kumar, Appavu Balamurugan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Ranking is the attribute selection technique used in the pre-processing phase to emphasize the most relevant attributes which allow models of classification simpler and easy to understand. It is a very important and a central task for information retrieval, such as web search engines, recommendation systems, and advertisement systems. A comparison between eight ranking methods was conducted. Ten different learning algorithms (NaiveBayes, J48, SMO, JRIP, Decision table, RandomForest, Multilayerperceptron, Kstar) were used to test the accuracy. The ranking methods with different supervised learning algorithms give different results for balanced accuracy. It was shown the selection of ranking methods could be …

Caution For Software Use Of New Statistical Methods (R), Akiva J. Lorenz, Barry S. Markman, Shlomo Sawilowsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Open source programming languages such as R allow statisticians to develop and rapidly disseminate advanced procedures, but sometimes at the expense of a proper vetting process. A new example is the least trimmed squares regression available in R’s lqs() in the MASS library. It produces pretty regression lines, particularly in the presence of outliers. However, this procedure lacks a defined standard error, and thus it should be avoided.
Inferences About The Skipped Correlation Coefficient: Dealing With Heteroscedasticity And Non-Normality, Rand Wilcox
Inferences About The Skipped Correlation Coefficient: Dealing With Heteroscedasticity And Non-Normality, Rand Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A common goal is testing the hypothesis that Pearson’s correlation is zero and typically this is done based on Student’s T test. There are, however, several well-known concerns. First, Student’s T is sensitive to heteroscedasticity. That is, when it rejects, it is reasonable to conclude that there is dependence, but in terms of making a decision about the strength of the association, it is unsatisfactory. Second, Pearson’s correlation is not robust: it can poorly reflect the strength of the association. Even a single outlier can have a tremendous impact on the usual estimate of Pearson’s correlation, which can result in …
