Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSmall-Scale Test of Transparent Adhesives in Glass Structures under Shear Stress and Their Ageing ResistanceMarkéta Zikmundová, Martina EliášováGlass load-bearing structures, which have been popular in recent years, require careful attention to detail, because with improper design there is a concentration of stress leading to failure and subsequent collapse of the structure. Mechanical connections are mainly used but there are disadvantages such as stress peaks, weakening of the cross-section, or aesthetic reasons. Adhesive connections eliminate these disadvantages. The … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2022 · 6,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWinter Forage Program Benefitted Small-Scale Goat ProducersUma Karki, Lila Bahadur KarkiSmall and limited resource farmers are raising goats on pastures in the southeast USA. Nevertheless, many of these farms do not have productive and quality pastures to support the nutrient requirements of their animals. Information on forages that are suitable to improve goat pastures and sustainably grazing those pastures with goats is still lacking. Study objectives were to (1) find … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2017 · 8,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWorking Time Allocation and Income of Small-Scale Laying Hens in Blitar, IndonesiaBudi Hartono, Puji Akhiroh, Nanang FebriantoThe purpose of this research was to analyze the working time allocation on laying hen’s household and to analyze the laying hens farmer’s income in Blitar Regency. Blitar Regency was purposively determined as the research location, with the consideration that Biltar Regency is one of the largest populations of laying hens in Indonesia. The research was conducted from May to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 7 Oct 2021 · 6,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReal-Time Data Capture Model for Accelerated Payment of Small-Scale FarmersNatasha Mwansa, Jackson PhiriMost developing countries especially in Africa face a number of challenges in the area of food security. These challenges include proliferation, theft, poor inventory system, poor transport and communication network. Zambia is one of the countries with these challenges and has been losing millions of dollars each year due to various challenges in managing the inventory system. In this paper, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2018 · 7,100 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH FOR MEASURING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE IMPROVED SALT PRODUCTION IN GUINEABoubacar Siddighi Balde, Hajime Kobayashi, Makoto Nohmi et al.Salt production is a major driving force behind the loss of mangrove in Guinea. As the traditional salt production causes increasing deforestation, the intensive exploitation of mangrove resources has now reached a critical threshold. Therefore, improved techniques using sunlight as the source of energy has been introduced as an alternative to the traditional salt production techniques which consumes a significant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 14 May 2014 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCassava Chip Drying by Using a Small-Scale Hot-Air Microwave OvenPatomsok WilaiponCharacteristics of cassava microwave hot-air drying were investigated in a 2-planes microwave hot-air dryer. The drying experiments were carried out at two levels of sample surface temperature set-points viz. 70 and 80°C respectively. Cassava (Rayong-9) with 2.5 kg weight and 61% moisture content on wet basis was dried in the dryer for about 5-5.3 h. It was found that the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2013 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpowering Small Language Models With Chain of Thought and Parameter Efficient Fine Tuning for Efficient Deep ReasoningAryan Raina, Shiwani Gupta, Jagruti Jadhav et al.Small Language Models (SLMs) run faster and fit on modest hardware, yet solving multi-step logic problems has traditionally been difficult for them. This work investigates a systematic, multi-model framework that combines Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) parameter-efficient fine-tuning, and measures the contribution of each component independently. We evaluate three SLMs (TinyLlama-1.1B, Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct, and Qwen2.5-1.5B) using 1,164 training samples … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAuto Weight Dilated Convolutional Ensemble Network for the Severity Analysis of Lung Cancer in CT ImagesL. Sandhya, K. MarimuthuLung cancer is one of the world's leading causes of morbidity and mortality; improving patient outcomes requires an early and precise diagnosis. Lesion and tumor segmentation remains a challenging task in CT images due to their inherent imaging limitations, such as the small size of nodules, heterogeneous textures, blurry boundaries, and adjacent structures, leading to misclassification and difficulty in delineating … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2026 · 1,541 accessesView PDFCite
