Experimental and machine learning-guided optimization of tensile strength of concrete incorporating silica fume, waste foundry sand, and polypropylene fibers

Concrete has inherently low tensile strength, which restricts the performance and durability of a concrete structure. This study investigates the effect of Silica Fume (SF), Waste Foundry Sand (WFS), and Polypropylene Fiber (PPF) on Split Tensile Strength (TS) of M40 grade concre...

The Transformation of the Microenvironment: From Observer to Coordinator in Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to Myeloma Development

ABSTRACT Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a common asymptomatic plasma cell disorder and the major precursor state of multiple myeloma (MM). Although progression is partly shaped by intrinsic genetic and epigenetic changes within the plasma cell clone,...

Dear Editor

Magnetically enhanced water splitting reaction using nickel-Fe3O4 composite electrodes

We describe a simple electrodeposition method for creating a thin layer of Nickel-Fe 3 O 4 (Ni-Fe 3 O 4 ). The resulting thin film showed notable electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline media. In order...

Sensitivity analysis and modeling of ternary hybrid nanofluid flow in rotating annulus using a hybrid physics-informed neural network

This research investigates the transport characteristics of a ternary hybrid nanofluid ( Al 2 O 3 –Graphene–CNT/water ) in a rotating horizontal cylindrical annulus in the presence of the effects of MHD, thermal radiation, and irregular heat source/sink. First, nonlinear governin...

Systematic evidence review on radiosensitizers and the abscopal effects of radiotherapy

BACKGROUND: The abscopal effect, defined as regression of non-irradiated tumors following localized radiotherapy (RT), is increasingly recognized as an immune-mediated phenomenon. Radiosensitizers may enhance this effect by amplifying radiation-induced immunogenicity and systemic...

Hybrid mammogram mass segmentation and classification using efficient handcrafted features and ensemble learning

Early detection and accurate classification of mammographic abnormalities are essential to reducing the mortality rate. The proposed work on mammogram mass segmentation addresses this issue using a hybrid approach that combines mean median iterative filtering, fuzzy logic, Multil...

The Substrate-EngineModel of Ferroptosis: Stage-SpecificTargeting of Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long-Chain Family Member 4 and 5-Lipoxygenasein Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract Ferroptosis-targeted therapies in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have yielded consistent preclinical evidence; however, their translation into clinical outcomes has remained elusive. This mismatch reflects a fundamental flaw that conceptualizes this peroxidative pathway as a s...

Experimental and thermal performance evaluation of a PCM-enhanced solar water heater with a spiral coil heat exchanger

Latent heat thermal energy storage is an effective approach for enhancing the performance of solar water heating (SWH) systems by storing surplus thermal energy and delivering it during periods of low solar availability. In this study, the thermal performance of a solar water hea...

Conducting Polymers: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications – a Review

The 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Alan J. Heeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for the discovery and development of conductive polymers, particularly polyacetylene. Since then, research on conducting polymers has progressed rapidly, with sustained focus...
