Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Assessment of Water Resource Sustainability in the Upper Amojú River Basin, Northern Peruvian AndesJuan Eduardo Suarez-Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Mayra Pamela Musayón Diaz et al.This study presents a comprehensive, statistically robust assessment of water resource sustainability in the upper section of the Amojú River Basin, Province of Jaén northern Peruvian Andes, using the Sarandón multi-cirteria methodology. A stratified convenience sample of n = 887 households distributed across 22 localities was surveyed, achieving a margin of error of ±2.61% at the 95% confidence level (finite-population … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2026 · 731 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Systematic Review of Metaheuristic-Metaheuristic (MH-MH) Hybridizations for OptimizationAugustina Dede Agor, Frank Kataka Banaseka, Prince Silas Kwesi Oberko et al.This systematic review following the PRISMA framework analyzes metaheuristic-metaheuristic (MH-MH) hybridizations published between January and October 2024 to uncover patterns of algorithmic dominance, functional roles and integration strategies, metaphor-based partnerships, domain mappings and evaluation orientations. Frequency mapping of 105 canonical algorithms identified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) as the three most recurrent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2026 · 2,188 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Assessment for the Buckling Analysis of Glass Columns with Random ParametersMohammad Momeni, Chiara BedonLoad-bearing elements composed of glass, as known, are often susceptible to buckling collapse mechanisms. This intrinsic characteristic (and thus potential limitation for design) typically derives from the use of relatively small thicknesses to cover large spans and surfaces, thus resulting in a multitude of columns, beams, or plates that are characterized by high slenderness. In the literature, accordingly, several and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2020 · 6,303 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAI-Based Feature Extraction Approaches for Dual Modalities of Autism Spectrum Disorder NeuroimagesMeenakshi Malviya, Chandra J, Nagendra NHigh-dimensional data, lower detection accuracy, susceptibility to manual errors, and the requirement of clinical experts are some drawbacks of conventional classification models available for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) detection. To address these challenges and explore the affiliated information from advanced imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in structural MRI (sMRI) and resting state-functional MRI (rs-fMRI), the study applied … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2024 · 5,096 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 3: SGAMR is Always on Track!Chiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoThe year 2019 represents a new growing step for SGAMR, that starts to publish “continuously” all the accepted papers, once they are subjected to positive, blinded peer-review process. This is a further effort to improve the service for the contributors and for the readers, given that the efficiency of the journal to share knowledge can be maximized. Hänig et al. … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2020 · 5,713 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

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 · 2,227 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Chain Mediating Role of Technology Self-Efficacy and Attitudes in Online Learning EnvironmentsJie Gao, Dolores D. Borras, Beverly T. CaigaThis study investigates the mediating role of technology self-efficacy and attitudes in online learning environments among university students. Specifically, we examined how students' technology self-efficacy, attitudes toward online learning, and perceptions of course appropriateness influence online learning outcomes. Data were collected via questionnaire survey from students enrolled in public and private universities (N = [specify number]). Structural equation modeling with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,606 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Virtual Modeling Approach for Mango Tree Biomass Estimation Using Allometric Equations and Functional-Structural Plant Modeling (FSPM) with GroIMPOki Marzuqi, Ditdit Nugeraha Utama, Azhar Indra RusmanaBiomass represents a critical ecological contribution of trees, including mango (Mangifera indica L.), necessitating rigorous academic approaches for quantification and modeling. This study develops a computational model to enhance understanding of mango tree morphology and physiology using Functional-Structural Plant Modeling (FSPM) implemented through GroIMP software. Comparative analysis reveals that the FSPM-based biomass model generates higher estimates than traditional allometric equations, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 12 Feb 2026 · 1,294 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStable Isotope Diet Reconstruction of Feral Horses on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada, USAMegan K. Nordquist, Todd F. Robinson, Gail H. Collins et al.Feral horse management has become a subject of significant controversy in the United States, resulting in part from opposing views of best management practices and limited empirical data. Feral horse densities increase in response to high reproductive rates and limited horse removal. with this increase, land managers are challenged with accurately quantifying horse diet selection and subsequent impacts on western … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,394 accessesView PDF Cite
