Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH FOR MEASURING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE IMPROVED SALT PRODUCTION IN GUINEABoubacar Siddighi Balde, Hajime Kobayashi, Makoto Nohmi et al.Salt production is a major driving force behind the loss of mangrove in Guinea. As the traditional salt production causes increasing deforestation, the intensive exploitation of mangrove resources has now reached a critical threshold. Therefore, improved techniques using sunlight as the source of energy has been introduced as an alternative to the traditional salt production techniques which consumes a significant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 14 May 2014 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEconomic Analysis of Honey Production in Chitwan District, NepalSushmita Bhatta, Suraksha Baral, Jay Prakash DattaApiculture is being practiced in Nepal from time immemorial. Economic analysis of honey production in Chitwan district was carried out to analyze profitability along with resource use efficiency in different enterprise system of beekeeping. The Categorization of beekeepers was done according to the number of beehives as small, medium and large. A total of 60 beekeepers were proportionately selected which … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Jan 2021 · 8,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRAPID DEGRADATION OF AZO DYES USING NANO-SCALE ZERO VALENT IRONNabila Rahman, Zainal Abedin, M. Ali HossainIn the present study, nano-scale Zero Valent Iron (NZVI) was synthesized in ethanol medium by the method of ferric iron reduction using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent under atmospheric conditions. The obtained iron nanoparticles are mainly in zero valent oxidation state and remain without significant oxidation for hours. A systematic characterization of NZVI was performed using XRD, SEM and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2014 · 8,599 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency and Sustainability of Alternative Protein Sources for Livestock Production in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisOlusegun Oyebade Ikusika, Bulo Luvuyo, Jaja Ishmeal FestusSub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces growing challenges in sustainable livestock production due to high costs and limited availability of conventional protein sources such as soybean meal and fishmeal. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the nutritional efficiency and sustainability of locally available alternative protein sources for livestock feed in SSA. Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches were conducted across five databases (PubMed, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCascaded MNetV3UNet: A Lightweight Two-Stage Architecture for High-Precision Brain Tumor Segmentation in MRIMayuri Popat, Sanskruti PatelPrecise brain tumor segmentation is an essential but quite challenging process in MRI images because of their irregular shapes, heterogeneous appearance, and low contrast with surrounding tissues. While U-Net-based architectures have achieved significant success, their high computational complexity limits deployment on resource-constrained systems. In this study, a Novel two-stage cascaded architecture, MNetV3UNet, is introduced, which employs the light-weight MobileNetV3-Large as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2026 · 1,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSM-SCAM YOLO: Enhancing Object Detection with Multi-Scale Module and Spatial Channel Attention MechanismShanmuga Sundari Mariyappan, Kayalvizhi Mohan, K. B. K. S. DurgaDetecting tiny objects remains a significant hurdle in computer vision, primarily due to scale variation, occlusion, and the loss of detail in low-resolution features. Although YOLO-based detectors are popular for their speed and efficiency in real-time tasks, they often struggle with accurately identifying small objects because of information loss during downsampling. This study introduces an improved YOLO-based model that integrates … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 6 · 12 Jun 2025 · 3,921 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Data Encryption for Securing HDFS Using DQN-Enhanced Deep Reinforcement Learning TechniquesShivani Awasthi, Narendra KohliIn the era of big data, ensuring the security of large-scale distributed storage systems like the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is critical. Traditional encryption methods often struggle to balance robust security with system performance, leading to vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. This study presents the design and implementation of an efficient data encryption algorithm for securing HDFS using Deep Q-Network (DQN) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 4 Mar 2025 · 6,376 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Management and Hormonal Oestrous Synchronisation on Indigenous Sheep Reared ExtensivelyAyanda Maqhashu, Jabulani Nkululeko Ngcobo, Hester Adri O'Neill et al.As the global population increases, demand for animal products will result in increased livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. One of the strategies for reducing this impact would be the improvement of indigenous livestock reproductive efficiency that are hardy and well adapted to harsh environmental regions. The use of reproductive technologies increases efficiency of animals necessary for … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2024 · 4,778 accessesView PDFCite
