Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Function Evaluation of Soil and Water Conservation Measures for Power Transmission and Transformation Project Construction Based on Remote Sensing and it’s Improvement PathYang Han, Songsong Wang, Yanhui Yang et al.Assessing ecological functions is critical for determining the efficacy of soil and water conservation measures, especially during the development of power transmission and transformation projects. Efficient conservation practices are essential for reducing ecological effects and guaranteeing sustainable development. This research aims to create a resilient model, Ecological Function Prediction for Conservation Effectiveness (EFP-CE) that will classify conservation effectiveness as either … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2025 · 7,725 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Causes of Gully Erosion and Associated Rates of Change in South-East Nigeria, using a Remote Sensing and GIS MethodologySylvanus IroThe study of gully development on a regional scale is currently threatened by the intrinsic costs associated with steady field tracking and monitoring and the lack of historic measurements to perform time series analysis. The research objective is to develop a low-cost GIS and Remote Sensing methodology for monitoring and quantifying gully erosion and development over time, identifying the impact … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 22 Oct 2020 · 7,431 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaximizing Fungal Growth in State-of-the-Art Tray Solid-State Fermenter: Aeration Strategies Optimized for Enhanced PerformanceMusaalbakri Abdul Manan, Colin WebbThis study introduced a tray fermenter, featuring eight layers of squared perforated trays, specifically designed for solid-state fermentation applications. It is named the multi-layer squared tray solid-state fermenter. The fermenter employs two aeration strategies with varying air flow rates to optimize fungal growth. Firstly, sterilized moistened air at 8 L/min flows from the bottom through the perforated trays. Secondly, a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2024 · 6,453 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Path Analysis to Understanding the Epidemiology of Murine Typhus in South TexasHongwei Wang, Orlando M. Patricio, Fernando G. Quintana et al.This study aims to investigate statistically if there is a causality for the murine typhus endemic disease related to precipitation, temperature and the natural cycle of flea development in South Texas. Path analysis was used to determine the mediating and moderating variables that cause murine typhus disease. Three path diagram models were tested. Model 3 shows a clearer path on … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,584 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Study of Efficiency Evaluation with Dynamic Strategy Trajectory Based on DEA Algorithm and BCG Model: A Case Study of Securities IndustryCheng-Shian Lin, Chun-Yueh LinThe U.S. Subprime Mortgage Crisis in 2008 led many financial institutions, including those in the securities industry, to the verge of bankruptcy. As the securities industry has a pivotal position in financial markets, this study aims to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to discuss the efficiency of the securities industry after the Financial Tsunami. In addition, this paper integrates the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2018 · 8,166 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpdates on Nutritional Diversity in Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hoechst ex. A. Rich.) Harms. for Food Security and ConservationCatherine Veronica Nnamani, Sunday Adesola Ajayi, Happiness Ogba Oselebe et al.Neglected and underutilized plant genetic resources constitute opportunity for diversification of food and environmental services globally, particularly within communities in developing country. They can provide, in some cases, higher nutrient content than traditional globally accepted staples commonly consumed. Currently, with climate uncertainty and the desire and challenge for sustainably produced food, there is an urgent need to promote crop diversity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2018 · 9,336 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Evaluation of a Pneumatic Prototype Machine Designed to Control the Colorado Potato Beetle in Potato CropsSaad Almady, Mohamed KhelifiThe Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824, is a major insect pest of potato plants. It can greatly reduce potato yields if left uncontrolled. The most effective method of controlling the CPB is to apply chemical insecticides during its life cycle. However, the CPB tends to develop resistance to chemicals. Therefore, its control is difficult. This has prompted … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2022 · 6,403 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility of Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy (ANFIS) Machine Learning Model with Classical Multi-Linear Regression (MLR) For the Simulation of Solar Radiation: A Case Study Abuja, NigeriaNajashi B. Gafai, Asia'u Talatu BelgoreThe extremely variable nature of solar radiation makes it difficult for solar power plants to keep up with predicted power output and demand curves. As a result, solar radiation simulation is crucial to the efficient design, administration, and operation of any solar power plant. With only partially satisfactory results, empirical models have been routinely employed in Nigeria to predict solar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 21 Jul 2022 · 10,032 accessesView PDF Cite
