    Guolan Wang, Ting Xie, Lijun Fu, Siying Qu, Jie Li*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.94, No.3, pp. 953-971, 2025, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2025.060634 - 31 March 2025

    Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the optimal proportions of plant growth regulators for growth and non-tube rapid propagation of Cymbidium tortisepalum var. longibracteatum; seedlings were utilized as the material. The effects of various combinations and concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), gibberellic acid (GA3), and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) on growth and non-tube rapid propagation were assessed through a single-factor testing and response surface methodology. The results indicated that 6-BA at 60 mg/L, GA3 at 150 mg/L, and NAA at 30 mg/L were the most effective concentrations for promoting leaf buds formation in the single-factor analysis.

    X-OODM: Leveraging Explainable Object-Oriented Design Methodology for Multi-Domain Sentiment Analysis

    Abqa Javed1, Muhammad Shoaib1,*, Abdul Jaleel2, Mohamed Deriche3, Sharjeel Nawaz4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.82, No.3, pp. 4977-4994, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.057359 - 06 March 2025

    Abstract Incorporation of explainability features in the decision-making web-based systems is considered a primary concern to enhance accountability, transparency, and trust in the community. Multi-domain Sentiment Analysis is a significant web-based system where the explainability feature is essential for achieving user satisfaction. Conventional design methodologies such as object-oriented design methodology (OODM) have been proposed for web-based application development, which facilitates code reuse, quantification, and security at the design level. However, OODM did not provide the feature of explainability in web-based decision-making systems. X-OODM modifies the OODM with added explainable models to introduce the explainability feature for… More >

    A Secured and Continuously Developing Methodology for Breast Cancer Image Segmentation via U-Net Based Architecture and Distributed Data Training

    Rifat Sarker Aoyon1, Ismail Hossain2, M. Abdullah-Al-Wadud3, Jia Uddin4,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.3, pp. 2617-2640, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.060917 - 03 March 2025

    Abstract This research introduces a unique approach to segmenting breast cancer images using a U-Net-based architecture. However, the computational demand for image processing is very high. Therefore, we have conducted this research to build a system that enables image segmentation training with low-power machines. To accomplish this, all data are divided into several segments, each being trained separately. In the case of prediction, the initial output is predicted from each trained model for an input, where the ultimate output is selected based on the pixel-wise majority voting of the expected outputs, which also ensures data privacy.… More >

    Abstract Birch outer bark (BOB) from Betula pendula Roth. is a unique and valuable biomass feedstock that contains suberin. The biopolyester suberin is built from bifunctional fatty acids-suberinic acids (SA)-which can be obtained through a depolymerization process in an alkaline medium and used as a binder due to their adhesive properties. The aim of this study was to develop the SA-containing binder and identify suitable pressing conditions to produce plywood that meets the shear strength requirements of the EN 314-2 standard 3rd moisture resistance class for bonding quality, ensuring durability in unprotected exterior conditions (shear strength ≥… More > Graphic Abstract

    Optimization of Phosphate Adsorption Using Activated Carbon Derived from Pangium edule Shell

    Rachmannu Ilham1, Fataty Kurnia Rahmah1, Nurul Faradilah Said2, Mohamad Buang Budiono2, Suprapto Suprapto1,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.11, pp. 1895-1909, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.055602 - 22 November 2024

    Abstract This study investigated the efficiency of activated carbon from Pangium edule shells for removing phosphate from aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity of the synthesized activated carbon was determined to be 19.8392 mg g−1. Various isotherm models were used to analyze the adsorption process, Henry, Freundlich, SIP, and Halsey isotherm fitting showed r2 values close to 1.0. These isotherms indicated a combination of physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms, with heterogeneity and multilayer formation playing important roles. A pseudo-second-order model described the adsorption kinetics well, suggesting chemisorption as the dominant mechanism with an r2 value of 1.0 and a rate constant… More >

    Phosphoric Acid Pretreatment and Saccharification of Paper Sludge as a Renewable Material for Cellulosic Fibers

    Samar El-Mekkawi1, Wafaa Abou-Elseoud2, Shaimaa Fadel2, Enas Hassan2, Mohammad Hassan2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.9, pp. 1573-1591, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.053589 - 25 September 2024

    Abstract Recycling of paper sludge waste is crucial for establishing a sustainable green industry. This waste contains valuable sugars that can be converted into important chemicals such as ethanol, poly hydroxybutyrate, and lactic acid. However, the main challenge in obtaining sugars in high yield from paper sludge is the high crystallinity of cellulose, which hinders hydrolysis. To address this, pretreatment using phosphoric acid was optimized using response surface methodology to facilitate cellulose hydrolysis with minimal energy and chemicals. The created prediction model using the response surface method considered factors such as acid concentration (ranging from 60%… More > Graphic Abstract

    Slip Effects on Casson Nanofluid over a Stretching Sheet with Activation Energy: RSM Analysis

    Jawad Raza1, F. Mebarek-Oudina2,*, Haider Ali1, I. E. Sarris3

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.4, pp. 1017-1041, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.052749 - 30 August 2024

    Abstract The current study is dedicated to presenting the Casson nanofluid over a stretching surface with activation energy. In order to make the problem more realistic, we employed magnetic field and slip effects on fluid flow. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) were converted to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by similarity variables and then solved numerically. The MATLAB built-in command ‘bvp4c’ is utilized to solve the system of ODEs. Central composite factorial design based response surface methodology (RSM) is also employed for optimization. For this, quadratic regression is used for data analysis. The results are concluded More > Graphic Abstract

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.5, pp. 981-992, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.049109 - 17 July 2024

    Abstract In this research, activated carbon from mangosteen peel has been synthesized using sulfuric acid as an activator. The adsorption performance of the activated carbon was optimized using malachite green dye as absorbate. Malachite green dye waste is a toxic and non-biodegradable material that damages the environment. Optimization of adsorption processes was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken Design (BBD). The synthesized activated carbon was characterized using FTIR and SEM instruments. The FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of a sulfonate group (-SOH) in the activated carbon, indicating that the activation process using… More >
