The Case Study of the Hospital Veneziale of IserniaRosa Francesca De Masi, Fabrizio Ascione, Gennaro Sosto, Giuseppe Peter VanoliMaximizing energy efficiency within hospitals and healthcare facilities is a major challenge for sustainable development and energy saving objectives. In this study, the case study of the public hospital of Isernia (Italian backcountry city) is proposed, being typical of the hospital building stock developed in reinforced concrete all around Italy in the last 40 years. Starting from deep on-site investigations, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2017 · 8,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Food Expenditures in Nigeria: A Case Study of Lafia, Nasarawa StateOlusola Collins Akeremale, Imam Akeyede, Ishaku Audu, Adekemi O. AkeremaleCurrently, the prices of commodities in Nigeria are consistently rising owing to several variables, including economic conditions, political influences, and technical progress. Consequently, the cost of essential items, including food, has risen significantly. Consequently, they often disregard nutritious dietary habits and fail to obtain adequate daily nutrients. This will lead to several repercussions, including diseases, disorders, and less vitality for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2026 · 2,525 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasuring Customers’ Satisfaction Using Sentiment Analysis: Model and ToolAhmed Alqurafi, Tawfeeq AlsanoosyCustomer reviews are a valuable data resource for business owners and companies.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency and Sustainability of Alternative Protein Sources for Livestock Production in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisOlusegun Oyebade Ikusika, Bulo Luvuyo, Jaja Ishmeal FestusSub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces growing challenges in sustainable livestock production due to high costs and limited availability of conventional protein sources such as soybean meal and fishmeal. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the nutritional efficiency and sustainability of locally available alternative protein sources for livestock feed in SSA. Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches were conducted across five databases (PubMed, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEscalating SVM-Efficiency by Sequential QP LP and Slack Variable AnalysisAmit Kumar Kundu, Rezaul Karim, Ali Ahmed AveSupport Vector Machine (SVM) is a highly attractive algorithm among many machine learning models due to its generalization power and classification performance based on sound mathematical formulation being convex that offers global minimum. However, despite being sparse, its high classification cost from kernel execution with Support Vectors (SVs) reduces the user's interest when there are hard computational constraints in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2023 · 5,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAI-Integrated Probabilistic Optimization for Inventory Control Under Stochastic DemandJanardan BeheraThe identification and operationalization of increasingly nonstationary and volatile demand patterns challenge the conduct of inventory management in contemporary supply chains. The classical models, especially EOQ and static policies, rest on the stability of demand assumptions, either deterministically or distributionally, and are hence less apt under real-world uncertainty. In view of these limitations, the present study puts forward an integrated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 6 May 2026 · 2,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeneficial Effects of Soybean and Cassava in Local Wisdom Feed Diets on Growth Performance with Nutritional and Economic Analysis of Snakehead Fish (Channa Striata)Duangjai Boonkusol, Wuttipong TongbaiSubstituting plant protein for fish meals is an alternate protein source in the diet of reared fish. By replacing fish meal with Soybean Meal (SM) or Cassava Meal(CM), this study determined the effects of diets influenced by local wisdom containing plant protein meal, SM, CM, or a commercial formula (FMTM) on the survival and growth rates of snakehead fish (Channa … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2022 · 5,787 accessesView PDFCite
