Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCrop Disease Detection via an Improved Residual NetworkGuolin Chen, Weifeng Liu, Xinyu Zou, Xiaoxia LiDeep learning has shown substantial potential across many domains, and crop disease detection is no exception. This study investigates the application of deep learning to crop disease detection, systematically evaluating the performance of convolutional neural networks of different depths. Building on the classical ResNet-50 as the base model, we introduce a Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanism to enhance feature extraction. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2026 · 898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCrack Bridging and Deflection Toughening Mechanisms of Staggered Hydroxyapatite Lamellar Microstructure in BoneYuxi Liu, Xiaohui He, Shuge Li, Zhangdong SunThe observation experiment results of the microstructure of tibial cortical bone show that the cortical bone is a layered bio-ceramic composite material composed of Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and collagen arranged alternately. HAP is a reinforcing phase and accounts for a large proportion in cortical bone. These hydroxyapatites have long and thin sheet-like structures parallel to the outer surface of the bone, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2026 · 890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInfluence of Zein-Fucoidan Nanoparticles Loaded with Curcumin on the Maillard Reaction Between Casein and LactoseShiyang Li, Yufan Liu, Yuanda Song et al.The influence of curcumin-encapsulated Zein-Fucoidan Nanoparticles (CZFNPs) on the formation of Maillard reaction products (MRP) at the early, intermediate, and advanced stages in a casein-lactose (CN-Le) reaction system was systematically studied. As controls, the effects of Zein-Fucoidan Nanoparticles (ZFNPs) and free Curcumin (Cur) were also evaluated. The results showed that CZFNPs effectively inhibited the formation of fructosamine, Glyoxal (GO), as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2026 · 605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSynergistic Effects of Wheat Bran and Inoculants on Fermentation and Nutritional Quality of Soybean Straw SilageLie Yang, Rundong Qin, Jiahuan Liu et al.The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUltrasonic Microwave Assisted Extraction, Chemical Characterization and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides from Fig LeavesBaikangzhe Zheng, Yang Miao, Yi Zhou et al.This study employed ultrasonic-microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE) to isolate water-soluble polysaccharides from fig (Ficus carica L.) leaves (FLPs). Polysaccharide yield was used as the primary index to evaluate extraction efficiency. The effects of material-liquid ratio, microwave power, extraction temperature, and extraction time on polysaccharide yield were systematically investigated through single-factor experiments, followed by response surface methodology optimization. Structural characterization and antioxidant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 3 Mar 2026 · 1,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFailure Mode and Pullout Capacity of Anchor Piles in ClayYanbing Zhao, Haixiao Liu, Mengyuan LiuAnchor piles are wildly adopted in mooring systems. However, there are still challenges in predicting the failure mode and pullout capacity of the pile. Previous Finite Element (FE) analysis was all based on the traditional small strain FE analysis. The whole pullout process of the pile cannot be simulated. Hence, the failure mode of the pile is hard to be … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDose-Dependent Neurotoxic Effects of Monosodium Glutamate and its Potential Genetic Transmission in MiceYanan Zou, Qiong Liang, Lu Liu et al.This study aimed to preliminarily investigated the neurotoxic effects of monosodium glutamate on mice and their pups, and the potential possibility of a genetic mechanism influencing the pups. In this study, mice were given different doses of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) at doses of 2.0 or 4.0 g/kg body weight for 10 continuous days, and its impacts on both the mice … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 14 Nov 2025 · 3,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesRandom Forest-Based Genome Analysis for Disease Association and SNP Marker IdentificationXiangdong LiuAt present, genomic data analysis has the problems of insufficient model interpretation and limited computational efficiency in disease association research.
