Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Pre-Processing Techniques to Improve DBT Classification Accuracy With CNN ResNet-50Qodri Aziz, Slamet Riyadi et al.Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a three-dimensional imaging technology that is meant to determine breast cancer more accurately than regular mammograms. But low contrast and noise can make DBT images less clear, which can make deep learning-based classification less accurate. This study seeks to assess the impact of diverse preprocessing techniques on breast cancer classification outcomes utilizing the ResNet-50 Convolutional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 21 Oct 2026 · 349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Vehicle Insurance Claim and Settlement Procedures Using IOT Sensors on a Blockchain-Based PlatformPreeti Sharma, Meenakshi Malik, Chander Prabha et al.The conventional vehicle insurance claim and settlement landscape is characterised by significant inefficiencies, including cumbersome claim submissions, arbitrary damage assessments, and susceptibility to fraudulent activities. These problems lead to a longer processing time, higher operational cost to the insurers and a reduction in policyholder satisfaction. To address these important challenges, this study proposes a streamlined vehicle insurance claims system that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2026 · 1,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Linear Chouquet Integral Algorithm to Design Optimal Time-Cost Model in Large Construction ProjectsHamid Jafari Nia, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Hamidreza BabaaliNowadays, the problem of scheduling and executing projects with the least cost and time has become one of the main concerns of project managers. In this regard, researchers have used different methods and patterns. One of these methods is to use concurrent engineering in projects. Simultaneous engineering means the creation of a project schedule for projects based on existing units … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2020 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Sustainable Biofuels: Major Challenges and Bioprocessing TechnologiesTahira Naz, Yusuf Nazir, Abu Bakr Ahmad Fazili et al.Commercial-scale production of biofuels has recently been intensified due to its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, market stability, alternative fuel energy composition and greener output, etc. Lignocellulosic biomass attracted the attention of researchers as a renewable feedstock for fermentative conversion into biofuels because of its high productivity, low agricultural input requirements, being environmentally friendly and no competition with the food crops. The field … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 1 Aug 2020 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvolutionary Structural Optimization of Wind Bracing Connection Plates in Steel StructuresReza Kasiri, Saeid Eslamian, Theodore C. Crusberg et al.Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is one of the rules in structural engineering which has received much attention by the researchers. Today, the reduction of construction cost and weight is an important issue in the structure design. The optimization phenomenon is pursuing to fulfill this objective. Thus, presenting a design which could be both safe and economic is of special significance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2020 · 6,968 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractCritical Evaluation of Thermal Efficiency in Aerogel Glazing Systems for Energy-Saving ApplicationsErdem CuceAerogels as a thermal superinsulation material possess a unique combination of properties, most notably low densities, and exceptionally low thermal conductivities, stemming from the high-volume fraction of air incorporated within their structure. Aerogel glazing systems have emerged as a promising solution to enhance the thermal performance of building envelopes while maintaining daylighting. With the notable reductions in production cost in … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2026 · 2,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Wing Tip Flow Around a Low Aspect Ratio Wing at Low Flight Speeds Using OpenFOAM® and Parallel ProcessingNikolaos Konstantinos Lampropoulos, Ioannis Eleftherios SarrisIn the present study, the effect of the wing tip geometry on the aerodynamic performance of a swept-back wing at moderate Reynolds numbers is investigated through numerical simulation and parallel processing. The aim is the identification of streamlines around the wing and subsequently the formation of the wing tip vortex. Due to the purely three-dimensional character of the flow, the … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2025 · 9,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Coordination and Communication in Distributed Software Development through Context-Based Software Artifacts Awareness: A Controlled ExperimentRafael Leonardo Vivian, Elisa Hatsue Moriya Huzita, Renato Balancieri et al.Distributed Software Development (DSD) has brought many competitive advantages, such as increased productivity, improved product quality and cost reduction. However, the geographic and temporal distances and sociocultural differences between distributed teams, expanded some challenges and, above all, added new requirements with regard to communication and coordination. This scenario has influenced on the software artifacts that are produced and/or modified, because … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 15 Nov 2018 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,169 accessesView PDFCite
