Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBenchmarking Lightweight Deep Learning Models for Field Based Sorghum Leaf Disease DetectionPrince Daughin Ngqabutho NcubeSorghum is a climate-resilient cereal crop central to food and livelihood security across Southern Africa, yet its productivity is frequently reduced by foliar diseases that smallholder farmers struggle to diagnose reliably in the field. While deep learning has demonstrated strong potential for automated plant disease identification, sorghum remains underrepresented in the literature, and no prior study has provided a comprehensive, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 29 Sep 2026 · 535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn 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 · 529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Integrated Nursing and Digital Droplet PCR on Bullous Dermatoid Conditions: A Randomized Controlled TrialConghui ChenBullous skin disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of blisters on the skin or mucous membrane, which seriously impairs the quality of life and overall health. Similar to the research on biomolecules (mechanics of protein interaction), cells (including cell membrane elasticity, cell adhesion, cytoskeletal dynamics, response to mechanical stimulation, cell deformation and cell endoforce transfer) and tissue … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2026 · 985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Coding Schema-Based Mobile System for Children With ASD in MauritaniaCheikhne Mohamed Mahmoud Seyidi, Ahmed Mohameden, Mohamed Lamine Diakité, Mohamedade Farouk NanneChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in many African countries face persistent barriers, including limited diagnostic awareness, scarce specialized resources, and the absence of educational interventions adapted to local contexts. In Mauritania, these challenges are exacerbated by the extreme centralization of autism services, with only two care centers available nationwide. Unlike existing ASD interventions that rely on imported pedagogical models … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 5 · 25 May 2026 · 1,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Diabetes Risk Prediction Using Ensemble Boosting and SMOTE-Based Class BalancingKittipol Wisaeng, Pankom Sriboonlue, Benchalak MuangmeesriAccurate diabetes prediction is vital for early intervention, optimized resource allocation, and minimizing long-term complications. This study presents a comparative evaluation of traditional and advanced machine learning models for diabetes classification using a structured clinical dataset. Seven baseline algorithms were assessed against five advanced ensemble methods: CatBoost, LightGBM, XGBoost, Voting Ensemble, and Stacking Ensemble. To improve algorithm learning, the Synthetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 1 Feb 2026 · 1,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Venom-Specific Fingerprints of Clinically Relevant Uruguayan Snakes by MALDI-TOFNorma Suarez, Victor MoraisSnakebite envenomation is a particular public health problem in many areas of the world, including extensive areas of Latin America. In particular, in Uruguay, snakebite accidents are caused by two snakes of the genus Bothrops: Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops pubescens. The only effective treatment available is the administration of the specific antivenom. Although there is an ELISA that allows the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2019 · 8,205 accessesView PDFCite
Clinical ProcedureOpen accessIn the abstractThe Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions with Particular Focus on Lyme DiseaseDietrich Klinghardt, Marco RuggieroHere we describe the Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol that is based on integration of Autonomic Response Testing (ART) with diagnostic ultrasonography and on application of therapeutic ultrasounds; the latter are used as a provocation tool and as an instrument to optimize drug uptake and utilization in specific areas of the body. This protocol consists of a precise sequence of diagnostic and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Mar 2017 · 37,244 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL ROBUST AND EFFICIENT TOOL FOR DETECTING HETEROSCEDASTICITYWei Xiong, Maozai TianOne of the greatest values of Quantile Regression (QR) is that it provides a good procedure in the sense that QR could be much more efficient and sometimes arbitrarily more efficient in recovering the mean function than the Least Squares (LS) even when without moment conditions. However, heteroscedasticity definitely causes conditional variances of parametric or nonparametric estimates of mean functions … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 21 Mar 2014 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
