Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeneficial Effect of a Cellulose-Containing Chew Treat on Canine Periodontal Disease in a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled TrialA. C. Beynen, F. Van Altena, E. A. VisserProblem statement: There are indications that appropriate chew treats can contribute to the control of canine periodontal disease. It was reasoned that the incorporation of a cellulose fiber network into the treat may improve the efficacy, but for proof experimental data were required. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Peak Load Electricity Demand Using Statistics and Rule Based ApproachZ. Ismail, A. Yahya, K. A. MahpolProblem statement: Forecasting of electricity load demand is an essential activity and an important function in power system planning and development. It is a prerequisite to power system expansion planning as the world of electricity is dominated by substantial lead times between decision making and its implementation. The importance of demand forecasting needs to be emphasized at all level as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasic Theoretical Backgrounds of the Engineering Design Procedure of a Drying PlantJamil Sami HaddadProblem statement: This study was made to reduce energy consumption and increase productivity of drying process in many industries, to achieve the required aim, design arithmetic methods and choose the parameters of the drying machine and computing additional factors including characteristics of materials and air flow effect. Approach: The design of these types of dryers did not include the addressed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,494 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOutcomes of Human Resource Development InterventionsAbdullah HaslindaProblem statement: In Malaysia, Human Resource Development (HRD) plays an important role in the economic development of the country. Despite government policies encouraging the implementation of HRD activities, as well as the substantial infrastructural and financial support provided, the benefits or outcomes of the HRD activities being implemented and provided to employees have not been examined. The aim of this … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopical Cyclosporine A in Corneal Graft RejectionMahmood Nejabat, Jafar Khoshghadam, Masoomeh Eghtedari, Hamid HosseiniCorneal graft rejection is now the most common cause of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty. This study was designed to determine whether, addition of 2% topical cyclosporine (CSA) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection, would improve the outcome. A prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Wheat Bran, EM Bacteria, Ammonium Nitrate and Fungal Additives on Fermentation and Forage Quality of Rice Straw SilageBin Yang, Jiahuan Liu, Dongmei Ma et al.The global ruminant industry is constrained by a persistent shortage of high-quality roughage, thus rendering the bioconversion of agricultural residues, such as rice straw, a critical priority. Nevertheless, the high lignification, silicification, and nitrogen deficiency of rice straw pose significant biological barriers to traditional ensiling. This study investigated the impact of various additives on rice straw silage quality. Six treatments … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2026 · 659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEW-GAT: Edge-Weighted Graph Attention Framework for Patient-Aware Heart Disease Classification Using Feature-to-Feature Similarity GraphsRamakrishna Reddy Badveli, Nijaguna Gollara Siddappa, Sundeep Kumar KanipakapatnamHeart disease remains an important cause of global death, requiring accurate and clinically interpretable prediction models. However, traditional Machine Learning (ML) methods often fail to capture meaningful dependencies among clinical features and lack robustness across diverse patient populations. To overcome these issues, this research introduces an Edge-Weighted Graph Attention Network (EW-GAT) for patient-aware heart disease classification. The approach first models … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 7 · 25 Jul 2026 · 920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing DevOps Pipelines With Viral Spread Optimization and Hybrid Deep LearningDileepkumar S R, Juby MathewModern software teams rely on Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to automate testing and delivery. However, these pipelines often waste resources by running unnecessary tests and failing to predict which builds will fail. This study presents a new framework that addresses three key challenges: (1) deciding which tests to run first, (2) predicting which builds will fail, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 3 Jul 2026 · 947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Approach to Query Reformulation in Cross Lingual Information Retrieval Emphasizing Term PlacementAmit Asthana, Sanjay K. DwivediThe effectiveness of retrieving relevant information is often hindered by ambiguous and short queries, compounded by often imprecise initial translation in Cross Lingual Information Retrieval (CLIR). These limitations are still a challenge for Query Reformulation (QR) techniques, which primarily focus on selecting effective expansion terms but generally neglect the impact of determining their optimal placement within the query. This paper … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2026 · 1,662 accessesView PDFCite
