Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Literature Review on the Menace of Floods on Food SecurityJohn Aloba Atubiga, Eric DonkorFlooding has become one of the most topical natural hazards affecting human livelihoods, especially in the agricultural sector. Its frequency and severity have become a matter of concern to many nations, especially sub-Saharan Africa. This is because the economies of these countries are agriculturally driven which is sensitive to climatic changes. The impact is felt more among subsistence farmers who … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2022 · 6,313 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Nonlinear Models for Dry Matter Yield of Brachiaria Hybrid cv Cayman in Drought Season by BootstrappingDanny Villegas Rivas, Nora Valbuena Torres, Manuel Milla Pino et al.The dynamics of biomass accumulation at different seasons of the year is of vital importance in the production of a forage species. In this study nonlinear models (logistic and gompertz) to describe growth dynamics of plants based on dry matter yield of Brachiaria hybrid Cayman at different interval between cuts in drought season were used. Results for logistic and gompertz … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2021 · 6,643 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneral Approach for Formulating a Digital Transformation StrategyZineb Korachi, Bouchaib BounabatTo take advantage of information technologies, organizations need to define a clear strategy. Numerous works have provided definitions and phases of digital strategies. Some of these strategies are context-specific, while others deal with the common elements of digital strategies regardless of the digital transformation context. However, these works do not address a holistic approach. This raises ambiguity regarding digital strategy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 27 Apr 2020 · 10,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring of the Saiga Population: Balancing Nature and AgricultureZhanbolat Ibraibekov, Saule Atshabarova, Ermek Gabdullin et al.The rapid recovery of the Saiga population (Saiga tatarica) in Kazakhstan represents a significant conservation success; however, it has simultaneously generated complex ecological and socio-economic challenges in steppe ecosystems. This study evaluates the relationships between Saiga population density and pasture ecosystem condition and identifies ecological thresholds relevant to balancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable agricultural land use. The research is based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbsolute Measures of Interindividual Variation: A Simulation StudyJosé Moral-de la RubiaFour absolute measures and one relative measure of interindividual variability have been defined, together with their point and interval estimation (bootstrap and asymptotic), and an R script has been developed for their computation. However, further simulation studies are required to strengthen their methodological evaluation. This study focused on the three absolute measures with potentially better regularity conditions, Mean Interindividual Differences … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 4 Aug 2026 · 965 accessesView PDFCite
