Hybrid rank fusion of a group-token transformer with gradient boosting improves detection of evasive and novel-family malware

Static machine-learning malware detectors report near-perfect closed-set accuracy, but the malware that matters operationally is the malware that slips past detection and the malware that belongs to families never seen in training. We study both on three longitudinal benchmarks:...

Nano curcumin as a multifunctional additive in (PVP/SA) blends: structural, optical, and antibacterial insights

Abstract Nano curcumin was incorporated into Polyvinyl pyrrolidone/ Sodium alginate (PVP/SA) blend using casting method. The decrease in amorphousity of PVP/SA polymer blend with increasing nano curcumin content was confirmed by XRD results. FTIR illustrated the coordination or i...

Coupled numerical and explainable machine-learning assessment of cracked diaphragm walls in anisotropic earth dams

Abstract This study evaluates how diaphragm-wall cracking and hydraulic anisotropy jointly affect seepage discharge and downstream slope stability in earth dams. A coupled two-dimensional numerical framework was developed by transferring pore-water pressures obtained from steady-...

Gabapentin protects against streptozotocin-induced diabetic retinopathy in rats: histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a main cause of visual impairment globally. DR is mostly considered neurovascular degeneration. Gabapentin exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to explore gabapentin’s neuroprotective potential against DR. Forty-five adul...

Cloud-assisted IoRT framework for latency-aware analytical kinematic control of a six-DOF robotic manipulator

Abstract The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) has introduced new possibilities for distributed and scalable robotic control by combining industrial manipulators with cloud-based computation and networked communication infrastructures. However, the deployment of cloud-assisted ro...

Disarming Pseudomonas aeruginosa: repurposing vardenafil, valsartan, and olmesartan as anti-virulence and antibiofilm agents

Abstract The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance represents a critical global health challenge, particularly in biofilm-associated infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ). Quorum sensing plays a pivotal role in regulating bacterial virulence and biofilm...
