This paper investigates a semi-parametric model for functional data, based on partial linear ideas. A methodology is developped for testing the linear component of such a functional partial linear model. The behavior of the test is studied through some finite simulated samples before being...

A QSPR modeling was carried out to predict the chromatographic retention times of a series of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) widely used as standard in the characterization of lipids from agricultural and food products. Number of carbons, total double bonds, position of double bonds and...

Quantitative structure-activity/property relationships (QSAR/QSPR) approaches that have been applied with success in a number of studies are currently used as indispensable tools in the computational analysis of nanomaterials. Evolution of nano-QSAR methodology to the ranks of novel field of...

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) and its derivatives have currently been used as promising nanomaterial for diagnostic and therapeutic agents. They are applied in pharmaceutical industry due to their nanostructure characteristics, stability and hydrophobic character. Due to its sparingly soluble...

The use of biofuels is a key factor in this transition away from fossil fuels. Today, biofuels are only a small share of world total energy supply. The characterization of biomass is a substantial improvement in the valorization of these resources, allowing a rational and controlled use of its...

Based on the perceived internal structure of market price movements on appropriate time scales, a series of interrelated pattern recognition techniques were designed and applied to the cyclic analysis of financial futures markets. The research analysis is based on technical analysis which is...

In this study, the response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD) was applied to evaluate the effect of temperature, initial pH and cheese whey powder concentration (CWP) on the hydrogen yield and hydrogen production rate by the Enterobacter asburiae. Batch...
