Tuyisenge, Ojok LonzyA cross sectional study was conducted on 160 indigenous poultry farmers in Nyagatare District to assess the effect of poultry cages on increasing poultry production in smallholder low cost village poultry farmers in Nyagatare district. Data were collected through pre-tested semi-structured questionnaires, participatory rural appraisal, observations and interviews. Most of farmers kept the dwarf type of local chicken (53.5%), night … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2020 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopological Approach for Mechatronic SystemsDamasse Harold Tchouazong, Jean Bosco SamonIn this study, we propose a topological methodology for mechatronic systems which is much more focused on the mechanical part of the mechatronic system based on the work of Casner. The methodology starts with the optimization of the electronic and control models (control command). Then, a characterization is done to highlight the optimization constraints that may affect the mechanical model. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2024 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelay-Conscious Service Quality Constraint in IoT Sensor Networks for Smart FarmingZatin Gupta, Amit Kumar BindalThe Internet of Things (IoT) offers different services for the agriculture industry, such as monitoring and analysing real-time data related to current weather conditions, water level, irrigation requirements, growth of plant disease and health status/temperature/humidity, etc.,). The performance of IoT networks may vary due to environmental conditions and operational areas (rural area/urban area/underwater). These constraints may degrade the transmission quality … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 8 · 9 Aug 2023 · 5,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUniversal Singular Optimal Control: Affine SystemsAndres Gabriel Garcia, Juan Andrés Roteta LannesIn this study, the problem of finding an optimal controller for nonlinear systems with one input and a reference tracking signal is approached. With the problem's formulation, any desired signal can be tracked instantly with a closed-loop controller without the need for integral terms. Presentation lies at the heart of optimal control. This study, however, does not consider the integral … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2022 · 5,452 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractTopological Approaches to Mechatronic Systems: A ReviewJean Bosco Samon, Damasse Harold TchouazongAn interest in the mechanical topology approach is to reduce the mass considerably in order to minimize the costs of manufacturing, transporting and purchasing products. The same interest can be found in mechatronic topological approaches where many disciplines should be fit together, facing therefore many and variant constraints. Distinguish topological approaches are found in the literature. Many are more specific … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2022 · 6,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Framework for Real-Time Healthcare System Performance in Developing CountriesRazi Ahmed, Eiad Yafi, Mazliham Mohd Su’ud et al.This study proposes a conceptual structure for the success of the real-time healthcare program in developing countries. Whilst developing and some developed countries face a significant challenge in adopting the application of real-time healthcare, this work aims to analyze the perspectives of healthcare practitioners in Malaysia. Since 1997, Malaysia has been putting efforts to introduce a real-time healthcare system, but … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 24 Sep 2020 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Learning Capability of an Agent in SOAR: Using 8-Queens ProblemNeha Rajan, Sunderrajan SrinivasanCognitive architecture deals with describing the intelligent behavior of an agent. The description of intelligent behavior states how well an agent can solve and represent variety of problems of the domain-independent task. The intelligence of an agent is considered in terms of its learning capabilities. In this study, we are exploring solving 8-Queens combinatorial problem using SOAR symbolic cognitive architecture. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 25 May 2020 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractHMA-RAG: A Hierarchical Memory Augmented Retrieval Augmented Generation Framework for Fake News DetectionAfnan Altarjami, Sawsan AlshattnawiExisting methods for detecting fake news, such as traditional machine learning and transformer-based models, often work as separate classifiers that do not use outside evidence, historical knowledge, or ways to make the results easier to understand. This paper presents a framework that combines retrieval augmentation and hierarchical memory to overcome three primary constraints: Insufficient external evidence, the absence of memory, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 9 · 7 Sep 2026 · 735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCA-LIME: A Collinearity-Aware LIME Framework for Reliable and Interpretable Explanations in Healthcare AIIdris Khan, Sachin BhoiteIn clinical tabular models, correlated biomarkers can make local explanations unstable even when predictive performance appears acceptable. This paper presents CA-LIME, a collinearity-aware extension of LIME built to address that failure mode directly. Five variations of CA-LIME Vanilla reference, VIF, PCA back projection, Ridge, and ElasticNet allow us to investigate how various correlation-control strategies alter explanation behavior.
