Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAspirin in Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events: Does Market Failure Matter?Roger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Against the backdrop of the 2009 scientific studies qualifying the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of aspirin, two interrelated questions are raised for investigation in this study. First, why may the government intervene in an otherwise private transaction between physician and patient and between drug manufacturer and buyer, when it involves contentious pharmacological information? Second, does government intervention make … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,430 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Barriers to the Deployment of AI Foundation ModelsHristo Hristov, Elena Somova, Emil FuchedzhievArtificial Intelligence (AI) foundation models excel at benchmarks but are not always cost-effective or successfully deployed in enterprise systems. This paper analyzes the failures in their deployment through interconnected structural components characterized by: Economic constraints (computational costs, memory, and latency that scale with increasing use of AI model services), cognitive constraints (related to training objectives that optimize plausibility rather than … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 5 Oct 2026 · 808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Safe Method of Storing and Exchanging Electronic Health Records Using Smart Contracts and Blockchain Technology Using Fully Hashed Menezes-Qu-Vanstone AlgorithmMeenakshi Vashisth, Raju RanjanElectronic Health Records (EHRs) are essential for clinicians, patients, and researchers because they support timely care and informed decision-making. For this reason, digital health information must be collected, managed, and stored with strong protections to preserve privacy and prevent tampering. One approach to strengthening security is to use blockchain-based storage alongside smart contracts and controlled data sharing, which can help … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Intelligence in Quality Control: Transforming Manufacturing ProcessesGopinath KathiresanThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Quality Control (QC) is transforming manufacturing by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Traditional QC methods, reliant on manual inspection and basic automation, often fall short in addressing the complexities of modern production environments. This paper presents a review on the application of AI, particularly machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, in manufacturing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2026 · 6,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Agent Energy Allocation Optimization in Local Energy Communities: A Comparative StudyAmira Dhorbani, Dhaker Abbes, Benoît Robyns, Kahina Hassam OuariThe growing diversity of energy demands, combined with the integration of renewable and distributed energy systems, calls for more adaptive energy management strategies. This study presents a comparative simulation-based analysis of three energy management approaches applied to a local energy community: A Multi-Agent System (MAS), a centralized rule-based method, and a game-theory-based optimization using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 30 Dec 2025 · 3,381 accessesView PDFCite
