Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrends in the Prevalence of Clostridioides difficile Using Real Time PCR in South Korea (2020-2024)Yonghee Lee, Yoo Na Chung, Jae Kyung KimClostridioides difficile is a major cause of infection in healthcare settings, and frequent antibiotic use exacerbates its occurrence. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a major public-health challenge owing to its complications and high mortality rate. We aimed to analyze current trends in C. difficile prevalence. This study was a retrospective, single center analysis of 7,371 samples from April 2020 to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 3 Oct 2025 · 2,358 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSevere and Fatal Influenza Cases in Russia in 2014-2015Svetlana V. Svyatchenko, Alexander G. Durymanov, Ivan M. Susloparov et al.This paper aims to characterize herd immunity of the population inhabiting Asian part of Russia before influenza epidemic and to describe influenza viruses isolated from severe cases including cases with fatal outcomes in the 2014-2015 epidemic season. HI test enabled us to study 3888 serum samples from healthy individuals including 1939 samples collected from poultry farm workers. We showed that … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2016 · 7,064 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReclamation of Irrigated Lands and Improvement of the Groundwater Regime Under Vertical Drainage OperationBalzhan Amanbayeva, Raushan Dzhaisambekova, Alexander Basmanov et al.The aim of the study was to identify patterns of seasonal groundwater-level fluctuations and assess the effectiveness of vertical drainage in regulating the reclamation regime of saline lands in Kazakhstan. The methods included monitoring-well observations, calculation of seasonal amplitudes, Student’s t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Before the growing season, groundwater occurred at a depth of 1.5-1.7 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 23 Sep 2026 · 608 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Supervised Classification Algorithms for Mangrove Detection and Differentiation from Other Forest Types in Paiton District, Probolinggo RegencyKaruniawan Puji Wicaksono, Fathor Rohman, Yasushi MitsudaRemote sensing provides an effective approach for monitoring forest cover dynamics, yet distinguishing mangroves from other forest types remains challenging in heterogeneous coastal landscapes. This study compares six supervised classification algorithms: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), Mixture Discriminant Analysis (MDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for mangrove detection in Paiton, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 1 Sep 2026 · 844 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,555 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatio-Temporal Anomaly Detection in Groundwater Electrical Conductivity Using a Hybrid Framework of Isolation Forest and AutoencoderEunji Lee, Seunghyun Lim, Seojun Lee, Abhijit DebnathMonitoring groundwater quality is vital for environmental safety and resource sustainability. This study combines Isolation Forest and Autoencoder models to detect anomalies in Electrical Conductivity (EC) and temperature, using monthly data collected in South Korea between 2006 and 2023. Linear regression and the Mann-Kendall test reveal a weak, episodic downward EC trend. Seasonal decomposition indicates annual cyclicality, while residual analysis … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2026 · 1,918 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Study of Seasonal Patterns in Vegetation Diversity and Forage Yield DynamicsSema, Jasmal Ahmari Syamsu et al.This study examines the seasonal dynamics of vegetation diversity, forage yield, and nutrient quality in Tarabbi Village, Malili District, East Luwu Regency, conducted from July 2023 to July 2024. Using a survey approach and field measurements, data were collected through the Estimated Actual Weight method and Summed Dominance Ratio (SDR), complemented by Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for analysis.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStable Isotope Diet Reconstruction of Feral Horses on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada, USAMegan K. Nordquist, Todd F. Robinson, Gail H. Collins et al.Feral horse management has become a subject of significant controversy in the United States, resulting in part from opposing views of best management practices and limited empirical data. Feral horse densities increase in response to high reproductive rates and limited horse removal. with this increase, land managers are challenged with accurately quantifying horse diet selection and subsequent impacts on western … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,390 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Between Particulate Matter (PM10) Exposure and Cardiorespiratory Hospital Admissions: A Time Series AnalysisNur Nabila Abd Rahim, Abqariyah Yahya, Wan Rozita Wan MahiyuddinThis study aimed to evaluate the association between particulate matter (PM10) exposure and cardiorespiratory hospital admissions and develop a time series model for cardiorespiratory hospital admissions in Johor, Malaysia.
