Spatial and temporal patterns of human-elephant conflict and compensation in Nagaon District, Assam, India

Human-elephant conflict (HEC) threatens both biodiversity and rural livelihoods. Forest departments in affected districts hold decades of compensation-claim records, but these archives are seldom analyzed for the spatial and temporal insights they contain. This study analyses twe...

Thermodynamic analysis of charged anti-de Sitter black holes with cloud of strings in Einstein-bumblebee gravity via Bekenstein–Hawking and Tsallis entropies

Abstract We investigate the thermodynamic properties of charged anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes surrounded by a cloud of strings in bumblebee gravity. In this framework, the cloud-of-strings parameter α and the Lorentz-violating parameter ℓ modify the horizon structure, the Hawk...

Impact of climate change on environmental niche dynamics of resident and migratory ducks in the Eastern Himalayan wintering grounds

Climate change is profoundly reshaping the distribution and interspecific dynamics of waterbirds across wintering grounds worldwide, yet its implications for niche overlap between migratory and resident guilds remain poorly assessed, particularly in biodiversity-rich South Asian...

New distributional record of Colocasia boyceana Gogoi & Borah from Assam, India

Colocasia boyceana Gogoi & Borah was described from state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. During the present study, the species was collected from Assam for the first time, growing in Jatinga area of Dima Hasao district of Assam. A detailed morphological description for the species,...

Comprehensive analysis of bioconvective MHD boundary layer flow in a non-Darcian porous medium with variable properties

This study investigates magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary-layer flow through a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium over a moving horizontal surface containing gyrotactic microorganisms. The combined effects of variable viscosity, variable thermal conductivity, Joule heating, Browni...

Hopf Bifurcation and Stability Switching in a Dual‐Delay Predator–Prey System With Schooling Modified Predation and Sigmoidal Harvesting

ABSTRACT Predator–prey models incorporating nonlinear predation, interspecific competition, harvesting, and reproductive delays provide important tools for understanding the mechanisms governing ecological stability and oscillatory dynamics. However, the combined effects of schoo...

Physalis cordata Houst. ex Mill. (Solanaceae) a new distributional record for Northeast India

Abstract The present study reports the occurrence of Physalis cordata Houst. Ex Mill. (Solanaceae) from Kamrup district, Assam. This establishes a new distributional record for the Northeast India.

Measurements of the production of W$$^{\pm }$$ and Z$$^0$$ bosons in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV

Abstract Measurements of the production of the W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons at midrapidity in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ s = 13 TeV with ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. The W $$^{\pm }$$ ± and Z $$^0$$ 0 bosons are detected via their (di)e...

A nonlinear dynamical model for oxygen depletion and fish mortality due to water hyacinth infestation

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a highly invasive aquatic plant that severely degrades freshwater ecosystems by depleting dissolved oxygen, disrupting nutrient dynamics, and threatening fish populations. In this study, we develop and analyze a dimensionless nonlinear dyn...

Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, the green tea polyphenol suppresses expression of CD31 and VEGFR2 and enhances the chemotherapeutic potential of irinotecan in AOM/DSS model of colorectal cancer in mice

Abstract Background Conventional chemotherapeutic treatment of colorectal cancer causes adverse effects such as severe diarrhoea, mucositis and hepatotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the anti-carcinogenic potential of epigallocatechin-3-gallate and its effects on major a...

Co-occurrence of polysubstance use among drug-dependent indigenous youth in the Himalayan region

Polysubstance use is a major public health issue among marginalized Indigenous youths in Northeast India. Ukhrul District, Manipur, is a remote tribal area where the drug dependence burden is high and district-level epidemiological data remain scarce. A cross-sectional, quantitat...

Essential graph of an abelian group

The essential graph of an abelian group $G$, denoted by $\varepsilon(G)$, is an undirected graph with vertex set as the collection of all non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$ and any two distinct vertices $A$ and $B$ are adjacent if and only if $AB$ is an essential subgroup of $G$...

DASTNet-X: an explainable dual-attention based spatio-temporal network for arrhythmia classification

Deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated strong performance in electrocardiography (ECG) arrhythmia classification. However, the criteria and processes for selecting ECG samples for analysis are often unclear. This lack of transparency, together with the challenge of interpret...

A Thematic Analysis Exploring Cultural Elements of Dance Movement Therapy in India

INTRODUCTION: India has a long, rich, and diverse culture in the arts, and dance and movement is one of the vital elements. This impacts the practice of dance movement therapy (DMT) in India. Research done on DMT mostly highlights the Western perspective. There is insufficient re...

A Bioactive Fraction of Euphorbia antiquorum Stem Powder Ameliorates High‐Fat High‐Fructose Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetes via GLUT‐4 Modulation

Euphorbia antiquorum L. (Euphorbiaceae), a traditionally used Asian medicinal plant, was systematically evaluated for its antidiabetic efficacy through a bioactivity-guided approach integrating in vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies. Among the four solvent fractions of the etha...
