Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Function Evaluation of Soil and Water Conservation Measures for Power Transmission and Transformation Project Construction Based on Remote Sensing and it’s Improvement PathYang Han, Songsong Wang, Yanhui Yang et al.Assessing ecological functions is critical for determining the efficacy of soil and water conservation measures, especially during the development of power transmission and transformation projects. Efficient conservation practices are essential for reducing ecological effects and guaranteeing sustainable development. This research aims to create a resilient model, Ecological Function Prediction for Conservation Effectiveness (EFP-CE) that will classify conservation effectiveness as either … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2025 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiovascular Diseases Identification Using Wavelet Optimization and Modify Cuckoo Search AlgorithmBanit Negi, Abhilekh Bartwal, Agya Ram Verma et al.The problem the author aims to solve is the extraction of discriminatory features in ECG (Electrocardiogram) signals for classification purposes. The scope of the work is to propose a new method for building wavelets that best reflect the discriminatory capacity of ECG signals. The approach involves optimizing the wavelets specifically for the classification function under consideration. To address the problem, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 8 · 3 Aug 2023 · 5,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEW-GAT: Edge-Weighted Graph Attention Framework for Patient-Aware Heart Disease Classification Using Feature-to-Feature Similarity GraphsRamakrishna Reddy Badveli, Nijaguna Gollara Siddappa, Sundeep Kumar KanipakapatnamHeart disease remains an important cause of global death, requiring accurate and clinically interpretable prediction models. However, traditional Machine Learning (ML) methods often fail to capture meaningful dependencies among clinical features and lack robustness across diverse patient populations. To overcome these issues, this research introduces an Edge-Weighted Graph Attention Network (EW-GAT) for patient-aware heart disease classification. The approach first models … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 7 · 25 Jul 2026 · 912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Safe Method of Storing and Exchanging Electronic Health Records Using Smart Contracts and Blockchain Technology Using Fully Hashed Menezes-Qu-Vanstone AlgorithmMeenakshi Vashisth, Raju RanjanElectronic Health Records (EHRs) are essential for clinicians, patients, and researchers because they support timely care and informed decision-making. For this reason, digital health information must be collected, managed, and stored with strong protections to preserve privacy and prevent tampering. One approach to strengthening security is to use blockchain-based storage alongside smart contracts and controlled data sharing, which can help … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelational Contracting in the Building Sector in Jordan as a Substitute to Conventional Formal MethodsRazan Aleasawi, Sultan TarawnehThe socioeconomic policies within the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan aim to enhance the Public-Private Partnership (PPP), one of the Relational Contracting models, to encourage investment, improve public services, upgrade infrastructure and boost financial resources, in line with Jordan 2025 Vision (Ministry of Municipal Affairs, 2014). The construction sector itself has a growth plan of 5% in order to meet this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2020 · 6,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Object Detection Technique for Hazard Avoidance SystemsSupreet Kaur Deol, P.W.C. Prasad, Abeer Alsadoon, A. ElchouemiHazard detection and avoidance at construction sites working with heavy equipment and moving vehicles is one of the biggest issues in modern surveillance. Background subtraction using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is widely utilized for identification of moving objects with most existing methods leading to improvements but lacking accuracy of object detection. This paper aims to improve accuracy and processing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,195 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Data Using Non-Identifiable Multivariate Probit ModelsXiao ZhangMultivariate probit models have been explored foranalyzing longitudinal ordinal data. However, the inherent identification issuein multivariate probit models requires the covariance matrix of the underlyinglatent multivariate normal variables to be a correlation matrix and thushinders the development of efficient Bayesian sampling methods. It is knownthat non-identifiable models may produce Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)samplers with better convergence and mixing than … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Nov 2022 · 6,044 accessesView PDFCite
