Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of a Helium-Assisted Hybrid Drone for Flight Time EnhancementGeronimo Macias, Kooktae LeeIn this study, a new design of a helium-assisted hybrid drone is proposed for flight time enhancement. As is widely known, most of the drones with a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) feature have a short operation time, limiting their capability to carry out sustainable operations for the given missions. Thus, with the clear goal of enhancing flight time, this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2022 · 6,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Sensor Filters and Altitude Estimation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle using Kalman FilterMertcan Akın, Aytaç Gören, Ahmed RachidSensor outputs are used when finding the position of an Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Outputs such as air pressure, vehicle acceleration or magnetic field help the vehicle decide its attitude and altitude. However, it must also predict the next movement of the vehicle. The Kalman Filter is used to assist observing and predicting the state of a system. To achieve … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2021 · 8,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBifurcation and Controlling Chaos in a Discrete-Time Biological SystemGuo FengThe dynamics of a discrete-time food chain model with strong pressure on preys is investigated. The types of equilibria of the system are analyzed using stability theory and bifurcation theory. The route to chaos via Neimark-Sacker bifurcation followed by period-doubling bifurcations of invariant curves is found for some parameter values through numerical simulation. Moreover, the chaos is controlled on the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2020 · 6,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Analysis Using Numerical and Neural Network, Near Kedarnath, Uttarakhand, IndiaVinay Kumar Singh, Tariq Anwar Ansari, Vikram Vishal, T.N. SinghThe major concern in hilly regions is the stability of those slopes, which have been proclaimed due to unplanned excavation and uneven blasting during road widening and development activity. These slopes again become more vulnerable under dynamic loading and/or various types of human involvement, heavy rainfall and seismic activity. Failure of these slopes leads to loss of property and human … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,772 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 abstractHybrid Enhanced Neighbourhood and Latent Factor Model for Cold-Start RecommendationsAmritha P, Rajkumar KKAmong different recommendation strategies, collaborative filtering remains a commonly utilized method for generating personalized suggestions. The traditional collaborative algorithms face performance declines due to the sparse rating of data and the item cold-start problem. To overcome these challenges, this paper introduces a novel hybrid model called HCE-KNNCF (Hybrid Cognition-Enabled K-Nearest Neighbor Collaborative Filtering). The proposed model generates predicted rating by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 9 · 21 Sep 2026 · 622 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
