Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Adaptive Detail Preserving Modified Progressive Pca Thresholding Based Image DenoisingN. Anilkumar, S. Radhakrishnan, Shaik Syed Basha et al.Radiologists use medical imaging tools to assess the anatomy and function of interior organs. However, medical images are frequently distorted by various types of noise generated during the capture, transmission, and reconstruction operations, which can dramatically reduce image quality and hide critical diagnostic features. As a result, developing effective denoising algorithms that suppress noise while maintaining structural information remains a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 536 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBioethanol Production from Graminoid Weeds in Bayero University Kano: A Potential Feedstock for Future Sustainable Aviation Fuel ApplicationsAdam Salihu Kila, Sa’idu Hassan Musa, Umar Aliyu Ahmed et al.This study evaluates the potential of selected graminoid weeds from Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Nigeria, as feedstock for bioethanol production. Ten (10) abundant weed species, including Cenchrus species, Cynodon dactylon, and Setaria barbata, were subjected to physicochemical pretreatment (ultrasonication, hydrothermal treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis) followed by fermentation using Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and their co-culture. Pretreatment significantly enhanced reducing sugar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jul 2026 · 1,181 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesModeling and Simulation of the Impact of Temperature on Single Point Load Cell using Trnsys 16.0: Measured, Uncompensated and Error Data for Zaria Kaduna StateAlbright A. Edet, Afolayan M. O., Umar A. UmarA load cell is a piece of machined metal called a transducer or load sensor. As a measuring device, the entire framework is prone to the impact of environmental forces which can produce errors in the load cell output. The most significant force or input modifier is high ambient temperature. Typical meteorological year document demonstrates that in March, April, and … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 7 Jun 2022 · 5,728 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesImmunological Response of Albino Rats Immunized with UV-Killed Candida albicansAhmad Ibrahim, Yahaya Abdullahi Umar, Mohammed Shehu BusuThe treatments of systemic candidiasis in humans with the current antifungal drugs of choice such as azole derivatives and amphotericin B have raised issues of toxicity and resistance among others. The immunogenic property of killed C. albicans was explored to evoke immunological response in the possible prevention of candidemia. Rats were immunized after acclimatization on two occasions with 106 cells/ml … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2019 · 7,716 accessesView PDF Cite
