Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBeneficial Effects of Soybean and Cassava in Local Wisdom Feed Diets on Growth Performance with Nutritional and Economic Analysis of Snakehead Fish (Channa Striata)Duangjai Boonkusol, Wuttipong TongbaiSubstituting plant protein for fish meals is an alternate protein source in the diet of reared fish. By replacing fish meal with Soybean Meal (SM) or Cassava Meal(CM), this study determined the effects of diets influenced by local wisdom containing plant protein meal, SM, CM, or a commercial formula (FMTM) on the survival and growth rates of snakehead fish (Channa … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2022 · 5,787 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPolitical Instability and Firm Performance: A Microeconomic Evidence from Ivory CoastErnest Ouédraogo, Ibrahim Ouédraogo, Emmanuel LompoIn this paper, we investigate how political instability affects firms’ performance in Ivory Coast. Using data from the World Bank's 2016 survey of 361 firms in Ivory Coast, we perform a robust endogenous treatment model to assess causal the impact of political instability on firm productivity. The results indicate that political instability is statistically significant and negatively associated with firm … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 23 Oct 2020 · 9,178 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydroponic Fodder in Broiler Nutrition: Effects on Economics of Production, Environmental Impacts, Productive Indices, and Health StatusChristian Anayo Mbajiorgu, Ifeanyichukwu Princewill Ogbuewu, Monnye MabelebeleThe projected global population of 9.7 billion by 2050 will escalate the demand for animal protein, intensifying food insecurity. Broilers, being highly efficient in converting grains into protein-rich food, are crucial in meeting the ever-increasing demand for animal proteins. However, broiler production, especially in developing countries, is constrained by low quality and unavailability of conventional feed grains utilized in poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,694 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of Resampling, Cost-Sensitive, and Ensemble Techniques for Handling Class Imbalance in Indonesian Financial DataGunawan Kurnia, Ditdit Nugeraha UtamaHandling class imbalance is a critical challenge in machine learning applications, particularly in financial domains where minority instances often represent significant anomalies such as fraud or audit risks. Various oversampling and undersampling methods were tested, alongside cost-sensitive adjustments and ensemble models including Random Forest, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost. The evaluation, based on 10-fold stratified cross-validation and performance metrics such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2026 · 1,874 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Fog Resource Provisioning and Resource Allocation using MKFCM and FPANagarjun E, Dharamendra Chouhan, Dilip Kumar SMThe expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments has motivated the Fog Computing (FC) paradigm, which brings mobile-edge and cloud resources together under a single model. Allocating and provisioning application tasks across such environments poses challenges due to constrained resource capabilities, heterogeneity, mobility, network hierarchy, and unpredictability. This paper addresses the need for additional computing devices that prioritize delay-sensitive applications … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 6 Oct 2026 · 462 accessesView PDF Cite
