Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeed Treatment-Based Biocontrol of Tomato Damping off Using Plant Essential Oil and Green Silver NanoparticlesLaila Reklaoui, Zine El Abidine Bzazou Elouazzani, El Touhami Tayebi Ouazzani et al.The fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is a major causal agent of damping-off in tomato plants, leading to severe yield losses worldwide. Conventional fungicides, while effective, raise concerns regarding environmental safety and human health, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. In this study, we report for the first time the use of Origanum compactum essential oil to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2026 · 1,298 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn AI-Powered Integrated Care Model Combining Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine for Personalized Alzheimer’s Disease ManagementShurong Li, Yiming Chen, Jin Xu et al.Alzheimer's Disease (AD) gradually reduces memory and cognition. While Western medicine focuses on pharmacological treatments, it frequently ignores holistic factors such as mood and digestion. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) addresses these issues through a wellness-oriented approach. However, the combination of both systems in patient care is uncommon. Current Alzheimer's disease treatments are often siloed, relying solely on Western or alternative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 2,063 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Bessel’s Correction: Unbiased Sample Variance, the Bariance, and a Novel Runtime-Optimized EstimatorFelix ReichelBessel’s correction adjusts the denominator in the sample variance formula from n to n – 1 to ensure an unbiased estimator of the population variance. This paper provides rigorous algebraic derivations to reinforce the necessity of this correction. It further introduces the concept of Bariance, an alternative dispersion measure based on average pairwise squared differences that avoids reliance on the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2026 · 2,994 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC-Driven Mini Refrigerators: Recent Applications With Performance CharacteristicsTamer Guclu, Pinar Mert Cuce et al.Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) technology has become a remarkable alternative in mini refrigerator applications in recent years, thanks to its lack of moving parts, silent operation, compact structure and environmentally friendly features. This study aims to examine the current usage areas, performance characteristics, and engineering challenges of TEC systems in mini refrigerator applications with a holistic approach. Experimental and theoretical studies … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2025 · 3,306 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Modified Lysozyme (Lys 90) and Herbal Extracts Against Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coliEni Kusumaningtyas, Bagem BR Sembiring, Andriani et al.The emergence of Antimicrobial Resistant (AMR) poses a significant challenge to the poultry farming industry. This study investigated the potential of Lysozyme (Lys), modified Lysozyme (Lys 90), an herbal extract, and their combination (herbs + Lys 90) as alternative antimicrobial agents against Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli (MDR-E. coli). Lys 90 was prepared by heating Lys at 90 °C for 20 minutes. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 1 Dec 2025 · 2,076 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Supervised Contrastive Learning for Steering Angle Prediction in Autonomous Driving SimulationsMaxson Phang, Suryadiputra LiawatimenaPredicting steering angles is a crucial task in autonomous driving, with end-to-end deep learning being a widely used approach. However, such models often suffer from overfitting to learned trajectories, limiting their generalization to new data. To address this, self-supervised contrastive learning is explored as an alternative, allowing models to learn meaningful representations without labeled data. The primary objective is to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 9 · 20 Oct 2025 · 2,581 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSparse Partial Optimal Transport via Quadratic RegularizationKhang Tran, Khoa Nguyen, Anh Nguyen et al.Partial Optimal Transport (POT) has recently emerged as a central tool in various Machine Learning (ML) applications. It lifts the stringent assumption of the conventional Optimal Transport (OT) that input measures are of equal masses, which is often not guaranteed in real-world datasets, and thus offers greater flexibility by permitting transport between unbalanced input measures. Nevertheless, existing major solvers for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2025 · 3,905 accessesView PDF Cite
