Volume 4, Issue 1 - 3 Articles
This issue presents three research articles that explore how technology is solving key challenges in software, energy, and maritime transport. The first article focuses on improving code comprehension by combining neural networks and language models, making software tools smarter and more efficient. The second study looks at e-methane as a clean fuel option and proposes international standards to help reduce carbon emissions. The third article examines the future of autonomous ships, identifying barriers and offering strategies for their wider use. Together, these studies highlight the power of innovation to support sustainable, efficient, and intelligent solutions across industries.

Enhancing Python Code Embeddings: Fusion of Code2vec with Large Language Models
by Long H. Ngo and Jonathan Rivalan
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page # 1-7, 2025; DOI: 10.55708/js0401001
Abstract: Automated code comprehension has recently become integral to software development. Neural networks, widely employed in natural language processing tasks, can capture the semantic meanings of language by representing it in vector form. Although programming code differs from natural language, we hypothesize that neural models can learn both the syntactic and semantic attributes inherent in code.… Read More

Developing E-Methane Value Chain and Proper Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting Rules Incentivizing Recycled Carbon Fuels
by Ryota Kuzuki, Mitsuhiro Kohara, Noboru Kizuki, Satoshi Yoshida, Yuta Nezasa and Yuki Tsuji
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page # 8-15, 2025; DOI: 10.55708/js0401002
Abstract: Many countries and industries in the world are aiming to transition to a carbon neutral society. One of the means to achieve this is the use of recycled carbon fuels (RCFs) such as e-methane. Feasibility of an international value chain is being studied in a variety of regions. In particular, with regard to e-methane, demonstration… Read More
