Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulated Annealing Decoder for Linear Block CodesLahcen Niharmine, Hicham Bouzkraoui, Ahmed Azouaoui, Youssef HadiIn this study, we introduce a novel soft decoder, the first of its kind, for linear block codes, based on Simulated Annealing algorithm (SA). The main enhancement in our contribution which let our decoder over performs with large gain (about 3 dB at 710-4) the classical SA approach, is to take the most reliable information set of the received codeword … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 8 · 4 Sep 2018 · 7,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMCMC-Fuzzy: A Fuzzy Metric Applied to Bayesian Network Structure LearningBeatriz Wilges, Ademar Crotti Junior, Silvia Modesto NassarBayesian network structure learning is considered a complex task as the number of possible structures grows exponentially with the number of variables. Two main methods are used for Bayesian network structure learning: Conditional independence, a method in which a structure is created consistently with independence tests performed on data; and the heuristic search method that explores the structure space. Hybrid … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 8 · 24 Aug 2018 · 8,247 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFals-Ism: A Graph Isomorphism Framework for Multi-Level Detection of Falsified PDF DocumentsJosue Nguinabe, Franklin Tchakounte et al.Fake Portable Document Format (PDF) documents are disseminated in an incredible rhythm across social media. Negative incidences are obvious but effective solutions identifying falsified items in the PDF are still in need. Unlike determining malicious scripts inserted into the file, this research aims at identifying falsified objects from different layers of the document. Specifically, we introduce Fals-Ism, a novel approach … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 5 · 11 May 2023 · 5,534 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVaccine Misinformation in the Digital Age: A Narrative ReviewOluwatobi AtibaConfidence in immunization has weakened across several regions over the past decade, and the circulation of inaccurate or misleading content about vaccines has accompanied, though not necessarily caused, the resurgence of vaccine-preventable infections. Adequate analysis cuts across immunology, behavioral science, communication research, and public-health practice. This narrative review draws on literature retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 23 Sep 2026 · 592 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Approaches for Cocoa Pod Disease DetectionHenry Techie-Menson, Michael Asante, Yaw Marfo Missah et al.Cocoa pod diseases destroy an estimated 700,000 metric tons of cocoa annually, threatening 40–50 million smallholder farmers across tropical regions. Accurate field diagnosis remains constrained by symptom similarity, labour-intensive scouting, and limited specialist access in remote communities. This paper presents a PRISMA-guided systematic review of 25 peer-reviewed studies on automated cocoa pod disease detection and classification (2016–2026), addressing architectural approaches, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 743 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction Performance of Essential Oils by Hydrodistillation Using Mathematical Models: A Systematic ReviewLenin Quiñones Huatangari, Frank Fernandez Rosillo, Eliana Milagros Cabrejos Barrios et al.Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile organic compounds valued for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, with widespread applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Among the various extraction techniques employed, hydrodistillation remains one of the most widely used methods. The extraction yield of essential oils by hydrodistillation is influenced by multiple factors, and quantifying these through mathematical modelling … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2026 · 2,512 accessesView PDFCite
