Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the 16-20 February 2025 Damaging Heavy Rainfall in BotswanaOliver MosesHeavy rainfall that occurred from 16-20 February 2025 over most of Botswana caused, for example, flash flooding, fatalities, and widespread displacement, with the most severe impacts in the Gaborone-Mochudi region in the southeastern parts of the country. The drivers of this event are poorly understood; hence, this study analyses the rainfall characteristics using CHIRPS and station data. It also analyses … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2026 · 1,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnaerobic Fermentation for Ceftriaxone Sodium Degradation in Excess Sludge: pH-Dependent Performance, Metabolite Formation, and Microbial Community DynamicsWeiwei Li, Hong Niu, Yonghui Zhang et al.The accumulation of ceftriaxone sodium (CTX), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, in wastewater and sludge poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating effective degradation strategies. This study investigated anaerobic fermentation of excess sludge (12,000-14,000 mg/L) spiked with 15 mg/L CTX under varying pH conditions (4, 7, 10, 12) to evaluate sludge reduction, metabolite formation, and microbial community dynamics. Results demonstrated that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2026 · 857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeep Learning Approach to Mitigate DDoS Attacks in SDNHema Surendrakumar Dhadhal, Paresh Kotak, Parvez Faruki, Atul GonsaiThe rise of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks remains a significant obstacle to network security and availability. This abstract presents a new hybrid model for DDoS mitigation in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments, combining a Semi-supervised Deep Extreme Learning Machine (Semi-Deep ELM) with a hybrid architecture. SDN's centralized control and programmability create an ideal platform for implementing advanced mitigation strategies. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 9 · 5 Jul 2024 · 5,338 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphometric Differentiation of Indigenous Tswana Goat Populations in Botswana Using Canonical Discriminant AnalysisDitiro MaletsanakeIndigenous goats are renowned for their endurance and capacity to withstand extreme climatic conditions. To categorize indigenous animal genetic resources, morphometric measurements have been employed to analyze the properties of numerous farm animal populations and breeds. The purpose of this research was to use canonical discriminant analysis to categorize the diverse Tswana goat populations in Botswana based on their morphometric … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2023 · 6,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFire Evaluation of RC Frames Strengthened with FRPs Using Finite Element MethodReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour, Armaghan ShalbaftabarReinforced Concrete (RC) structures may confront with extreme loading conditions. Sometimes, structures are not only under extreme loading such as earthquakes but also, they may be subjected to fire. Therefore, investigation of reinforced concrete structures which are the most common ones is essential. In this study, experimental RC frame is considered to validate in ABAQUS finite element software.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Sandwich Panel Under High Temperature Loading Using Finite Element AnalysisSajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Armaghan Shalbaftabar, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.Structural and nonstructural members are always encountered with extreme loading conditions. In case of nonstructural members, the failure happens much sooner due to lack of load capacity. The nonstructural elements are not designed for structural loading conditions. However, they might be impacted to other loading types such as fire. In recent years, the use of 3D panel is one of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2020 · 7,678 accessesView PDFCite
