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 abstractEffects of Aerobic Exercise on PPAR-γ Expression in Adipose Tissue and RT-PCR Detection AnalysisXiaodong Zhan, Chenguang Bi, Jie WeiThis study aimed to examine the effect of organized aerobic exercise on the expression level of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) gene in adipose tissue by performing digital variant of RT-PCR, Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) which is a highly sensitive method for counting the gene copy numbers. The proposed scheme consists of three-stage analytical procedure, namely, Subphase I Controlled Aerobic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2026 · 580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclodextrin Glucanotransferase Activity of Microbial Strains Isolated from Yam-Cultivation Soils in Northwestern BeninCyrille Alode Vodounon, Ténor Dias-Mendel Allode et al.β-Cyclodextrin, an industrially important oligosaccharide, is produced by microbial enzymes such as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). This study investigated ways to optimize the enzymatic activity of CGTase from Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus brevis, and Bacillus subtilis strains isolated from soils in north-western Benin. Cyclization activity of CGTase and the influence of pH, temperature, and metal ions were assessed using conventional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Gender Dimensions of Drug Abuse Among Women and Girls in Maiduguri: Challenges and ImplicationsFredrick WilsonThis study examines the gender-specific dimensions of drug abuse among women and girls in Maiduguri, North East Nigeria, a region affected by insurgency, poverty, and restrictive socio-cultural norms. While national data indicate rising female substance use, interventions and research have largely overlooked women’s unique challenges. Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, the study explores structural, emotional, and socio-cultural … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 7 Sep 2026 · 801 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFL-CARE: Federated Learning-Based Contention-Aware and Energy-Balanced Routing for Dense FANETsHalimjon Khujamatov, Elyanora Jolimbetova et al.In dense multi-drone FANET environments, routing efficiency is often reduced due to constant competition for a wireless channel, frequent changes in network topology, and uneven energy consumption between UAV nodes. These factors lead to a decrease in the packet delivery ratio, an increase in delays on the busiest or most unstable routes, and a reduction in the total network lifespan. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 13 Aug 2026 · 1,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Evaluation of a Blockchain-Integrated Secure Cloud Storage SystemWalde Rajesh Baliram, Bashir Alam, M. N. DojaCloud storage is a critical part of modern computer systems that has a centralized structure, which opens sensitive data to security risks, including unauthorized access, insider threats, and data tampering. In order to mitigate these issues, this paper proposed a novel cloud storage system with built-in blockchain, AES-256 encryption, access control using smart contracts, and a dual-hash integrity check system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 7 · 22 Jul 2026 · 911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging Traditional Craftsmanship and Digital Interaction through User-Centered Design: Designing Intuitive InterfacesChristopher Kevin Gunawan, Ravi Ardiza Putra, Steven Albert et al.Traditional craftsmanship served as both a manifestation of cultural heritage and a vital pillar of the global creative economy. However, its digital integration was frequently hindered by low technological literacy and misalignment between manual practices and standardized digital systems. Existing digital interventions primarily focused on passive e-commerce storefronts and often ignored the socio-economic precarity of craftsmen operating as independent contractors … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 5 Jun 2026 · 1,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of a Smart File Cabinet System With Enhanced Security and Remote AccessAdebayo Afeez Oluwagbenga, Mustapha Favour, Adebiyi Temidayo Daniel et al.In an era increasingly defined by digital interconnectivity, the physical security of sensitive hard-copy documents remains a persistent vulnerability in organizational infrastructure. Traditional filing cabinets, relying on passive mechanical locks, lack the capability for real-time monitoring, remote access control, or active intrusion detection. This research presents the design and validation of a Smart File Cabinet (SFC) system that bridges this … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 May 2026 · 1,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEAchain: A Privacy-Preserving Dual-Credential Model on BlockchainS. Balachander, A. MuruganAll facets of daily life are now impacted by transaction data. The complex and heterogeneous network created by millions of users, devices, online services, and applications makes digital identity management more difficult. Users can maintain control over their personal information via distributed identity, a potentially useful model for resolving identity issues. Nevertheless, current state-of-the-art techniques are inappropriate because of persistent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 5 · 25 May 2026 · 1,310 accessesView PDFCite
