Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptomatic COVID-19 Patients: Experience and Lessons from a Developing CountrySylvie Kolani, Houda Alami, El Harch ibtissam et al.The world is facing a pandemic due to the SARS-Coronavirus 2, since late 2019. Many questions remain unanswered regarding the disease course. Key amongst its talking point is the case of asymptomatic patients. This potentially jeopardizes infection control strategy as asymptomatic cases are difficult to identify and hence difficult to isolate. Our study intends to define the clinical and radiological … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 22 May 2021 · 7,136 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Palm Kernel Cake Based Biosupplement Biscuits on Nutrient Utilization, Growth Performance, and Metabolic Responses in Male Ettawah GoatsTintin Rostini, Suharlina, Achmad Jaelani et al.Palm Kernel Cake (PKC), a major by-product of the palm oil industry, has considerable potential as an alternative feed ingredient for ruminants because of its wide availability, moderate protein content, and economic value. However, its utilization is often constrained by high fiber and lignocellulosic components that may limit nutrient digestibility. This study evaluated the effects of PKC-based biosupplement biscuits as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 22 Oct 2026 · 390 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChronic Lung Disease Identification in Chest CT Scans Through Hybrid Deep Transfer Learning FrameworkGarima Jain, Amit Kumar Goel, Rahul KumarAccurate and timely diagnosis is essential for successful treatment of chronic pulmonary conditions, particularly lung tumours. To capture more complicated pathological characteristics, diagnostic algorithms based on current data sets are restricted to using older databases and single branch systems. This research introduces a new solution: A hybrid deep learning model applied to a recently released quantitative database of CT scans … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 9 Sep 2026 · 657 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPurification, Structural Characterization and Anti-Aging and Stress Activities of Cordyceps Mycelium Polysaccharides from Paecilomyces HepialiXiaokang Hu, Huixiu Ma, Guicai Chen et al.This study identified and characterized the bioactive polysaccharide components from Cordyceps mycelium powder (CMP) derived from Paecilomyces hepiali, evaluating their anti-aging and stress-protective activities. Initial screening using Drosophila melanogaster revealed that crude Cordyceps polysaccharides (CCP) exhibited comparable effects to CMP and Cordyceps aqueous extracts (CAE) on natural lifespan and UV stress resistance, suggesting CCP as the primary bioactive component. CCP … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,702 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Test on the Multivariate Behrens–Fisher Problem in High–Dimensional Data by Block Covariance EstimationParanut Sukcharoen, Samruam ChongcharoenIn this paper, we proposed a new testing statistic for testing the equality of mean vectors from two multivariate normal populations when the covariance matrices are unknown and unequal in high–dimensional data. A new test is proposed based on the idea of keeping more information from the sample covariance matrices as much as possible. A proposed test is invariant under … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 2 Apr 2019 · 7,375 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Distribution-Free Bayesian Approach for Indirect ComparisonsJohanna S. van Zyl, Jack D. TubbsThe objective of this paper is to consider an indirect comparison between treatments B and C when each have been compared directly to treatment A in separate studies. Problems of this type are common in Network Meta-Analysis (NMA). A commonly used method assumes that the underlying data, Y, are normally distributed and µ = E(Y) is the measure of clinical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2019 · 6,691 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCattle Raising Practices in North-West CambodiaSophany Morm, Koemseang Nhuong, Vibol Peuo et al.We aimed to assess current cattle farming practices in northwest Cambodia in terms of economy, practical management, productivity, and sustainability. The study sites were selected in four provinces (Pursat, Battambang, Pailin, and Banteay Meanchey) with 316 cattle livestock farmers interviewed as representative samples using systematic sampling. A stratified sampling method was utilized. Data were analyzed and descriptive statistics was used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2024 · 6,326 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupplementation with Different Concentrations of Dithiothreitol and Glutathione During Cryopreservation of Semen from Large White BoarsMahlatsana Ramaesela Ledwaba, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.The study aims to compare different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM) of antioxidants, Dithiothreitol (DTT) and Glutathione (GSH), on sperm parameters following the freeze-thawing of semen from large white boars. Three large white boars were selected for semen collection and the collected semen was sent to the lab for analysis. Following dilution with Beltsville thawing solution and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2024 · 5,520 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 · 12,285 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsability Validation of an Ergonomic Inward Directional Screwdriver for Enhanced Musculoskeletal ComfortPoh Kiat Ng, Bing Sheng Choong, Kian Siong JeePrevious studies suggested that the use of inward torque direction in hand-related manual activities not only increases the total normal force and torque capacity but also reduces grip force. This means lesser effort is required to perform the task, which prevents overexertion and hand injuries. Manual screwdrivers are the most common hand tools used in the industry and daily life. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 27 Oct 2016 · 7,450 accessesView PDF Cite
