Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Listeria monocytogenes in Processed Meat by a Combined Cultural-molecular MethodAngela Ingianni, Marta Quartuccio, Maria Antonietta Madeddu et al.The isolation and identification of Listeria monocytogenes in processed meat samples by a combined cultural-molecular method is described. It allows the identification of Listeria strains by means of a hybridization technique with a specific DNA probe directed to the listerial internalin gene. The specificity of this method was found to be 100% and sensitivity was as low as 1 CFU/2.5 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,256 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimum Conditions for Measuring Dehydrogenase Activity of Aspergillus niger using TTCA. E. Ghaly, N. S. MahmoudThe suitability of the triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) for dehydrogenase activity measurement of the vegetative cells of the fungal species Aspergillus niger was investigated. The triphenyl formazan (TF) yield increased with the increases in TTC concentration, pH, temperature and incubation time within the studied ranges. The effects of individual parameters, as well as the combined effects, on the TF yield … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 9,008 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Probability Curves Obtained from 2 Quantitative Allergen-specific IgE Assays: FEIA and 3gAllergyTMT. M. Li, T. Chuang, S. M. Li, D. Hovanec-BurnsThe validity and benefit of probability curves in allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing and their applicability to more than a few allergens are still pending. One study[1] presented probability curves for 4 food allergens and proposed decision points to rule out the need for food challenges in his clinic. Since then, such cutoffs were reported by Boyano-Martinez[2] to be dependent on … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,740 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSensitivity 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 · 6,549 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEarly Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease Through Voice Analysis and Machine LearningAmrita Naik, Mohd Sahil Khan, Akhilesh Manoj Saraf et al.Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder, and its prevalence has increased considerably in recent years. Early and accurate diagnosis plays a crucial role in effective treatment, but identifying the disease in its early stages remains challenging, especially for non-specialist clinicians. This study presents a predictive analytics framework for detecting Parkinson's disease using voice-based features. To improve the diversity … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 11 · 9 Oct 2026 · 652 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExplainable MedAttn-ResNet50 for Automated Kidney Tumor Classification from CT Images With Grad-CAM VisualizationD. Vetrithangam, Pramod Kumar, Shilpasree S. et al.Kidney tumor classification from CT imaging remains challenging due to CT-specific intensity variations, tumor heterogeneity, and limited clinically meaningful interpretability in existing deep learning models. To address these limitations, we propose an Explainable MedAttn-ResNet50 framework that integrates radiology-driven preprocessing, multi-scale feature extraction, and medical attention mechanisms within a unified architecture. The preprocessing pipeline applies radiology-inspired intensity normalization, contrast enhancement, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 13 Aug 2026 · 1,127 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCrime Rate Analysis and Mapping from Socio-Economic Data Using Deep Neural NetworksSanthosh Sankara, Nadeson SugithaCrime prediction is the attempt to identify and mitigate future criminal activity. Crime is typically "unpredictable"; it cannot be predicted in advance. Addressing the roots of crime has long been a priority for researchers. Extracting causality from data is difficult if the relevant data aspects are not selected. In this research activity, an innovative classification framework is defined which is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 10 · 17 Aug 2024 · 5,097 accessesView PDF Cite
