Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Non-Technical Electricity Loss Detection Using Artificial Neural Networks: Case of Cameroon Distribution NetworkLekini Nkodo Claude Bernard, Bell Serge Samuel, Nyemb Nsoga Valjacques et al.Non-Technical Losses (NTL) represent a critical challenge for power utilities, particularly in developing countries. This paper proposes an unsupervised deep learning approach based on an autoencoder to detect abnormal electricity consumption patterns in the Cameroonian distribution network. The model learns normal customer behavior using historical consumption data and identifies anomalies through reconstruction error analysis. Statistical thresholds are applied to classify … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 23 Jul 2026 · 1,225 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDeterminants of Technical Efficiency of Sugarcane Production among Small Holder Farmers in Lao PDRPoungchompu SupapornThis study was to examine technical efficiency in sugarcane production in Savannakhet, Lao PDR. A stochastic frontier production function was applied with the data collected from 110 sample farmers in 2012. The results reveal that cultivated area (p<0.01), hired labor (p<0.10) and capital (p<0.10) are the major significantly positive factors in the output of sugarcane. Mean of technical efficiency was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 3 Oct 2015 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
