Synergistic enhancement of photoelectrochemical water splitting using core/shell ZnO/Bi2S3 heterostructures

Abstract Solar energy can be harnessed to generate hydrogen via photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, providing a clean, renewable energy pathway. This study developed core/shell ZnO/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures via electrodeposition and successive ionic layer adsorption and r...

Zika Endemicity Lowers the HIV Invasion Threshold: A Mathematical Model of Zika‐HIV Coinfection

ABSTRACT The coexistence of Zika virus (ZIKV) and HIV across tropical areas presents important research opportunities to examine how vector‐borne pathogens affect trends of sexually transmitted diseases. We create a detailed mathematical model that combines vector‐borne transmiss...

Collaborative explainable ai for EEG mental health monitoring with constrained QA-Tuned LLM alignment

The monitoring of mental health states using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has gained increasing attention due to its non-invasive nature for psychological disorders. Large Language Models (LLMs) and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) have been utilized in advancing t...

The Unconventional Centre Country: Evaluating Türkiye’s Indo-Pacific Engagement

Türkiye has emerged as an unconventional Indo-Pacific actor. This article explains why and how Türkiye has become visible in a region far from its primary strategic theatres, and why this matters for debates on international hierarchy and middle-power agency. Drawing on a neoclas...

Machine learning approaches for optimizing bioprinting processes: A comprehensive review

Bioprinting has emerged as a transformative technology for fabricating complex biological constructs with applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. However, the bioprinting process involves highly nonlinear, multiscale, and interdependent param...

Development of a Ce4W9O33 embedded functionalized halloysite nanotube nanocomposite for sensitive electrochemical detection of phenolic aldehyde vanillin in food matrices

A novel Cerium-Tungsten Heteropolyoxometalate intercalated on Halloysite Nanotubes (Ce 4 W 9 O 33 @f-HNT) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method and utilized to construct an efficient electrochemical sensor. The complete structural, morphological,...

Exploring the importance of flexible manufacturing system performance variables for textile industries

Purpose Manufacturing firms in the textile sector face simultaneous pressure to enhance responsiveness, maintain quality, shorten lead times, and align production with sustainability expectations. In the current Industry 4.0/5.0 environment, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) a...

Effect of methane concentration on the growth kinetics, microstructure, and crystalline quality of thick MPCVD-grown polycrystalline diamond

In diamond growth using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) process, the methane fraction controls the balance between carbon supply and hydrogen etching, while substrate temperature governs surface diffusion and facet‑dependent growth. Yet for polycrystalline diam...

Conditions shaping circular construction and demolition waste market readiness: evidence from stakeholder practice in the UAE

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) remains one of the largest waste streams globally, yet the uptake of circular practices in construction remains limited. This study examines stakeholder perceptions of the conditions shaping circular CDW market readiness in the United Arab...

Synergistic Integration of SrFeO 3 Nanoparticles With Exfoliated MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x /V 2 CT x ) Nanosheets for High Performance Supercapacitors

ABSTRACT The performance of supercapacitors is often limited by conventional electrode materials, which typically necessitate a compromise between energy density, power density, and cycling stability. While two‐dimensional MXenes offer high conductivity and surface area, their pr...

Individualized statin associated type 2 diabetes risk estimation with a deep causal model

Statin therapy reduces cardiovascular risk, but recorded statin exposure is associated with subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2D) in some populations. Individualized risk estimation and separation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-mediated from non-LDL components remain c...

Not just alignment: body shape influences adult spinal deformity biomechanics

Abstract Purpose Adult spinal deformity (ASD) alters sagittal alignment and trunk centre of mass location, increasing spinal loading. Current clinical assessment of ASD primarily focuses on alignment parameters disregarding patient’s body shape variability. This study aimed to ev...

HyperTransUrban: a vision transformer-driven survey of change detection using hyperspectral imaging

In the twenty-first century, urbanization has become one of the most transformative processes, driving significant changes in land use, infrastructure, and environmental conditions. These dynamics underscore the need for accurate urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disa...
