Numerical Evaluation of the Coupling Between Several Directional Coupler Designs

Background Power division, switching, modulation, and wavelength multiplexing in integrated photonics are made possible via directional couplers. Nonlinear effects, material characteristics, and waveguide geometry all affect how they couple. Because of their microstructure claddi...

PolyTransGAN enables neuro-symbolic inverse design of 4D-printable shape-memory polymers

While the shape-memory polymer (SMP) inverse design is promising for 4D printing, it is hindered by the large chemical space and the lack of physics-aware generative models. We introduce a neuro-symbolic method, called PolyTransGAN, which combines coarse-grained molecular dynamic...

Thermo-vibrational fusion for early-stage ball bearing fault diagnosis: a multi-modal machine learning framework

Abstract Rolling bearing failures account for 40–50% of rotating machinery breakdowns, but the complementary diagnostic potential of thermal sensing remains underutilized. This study presents a thermo-vibrational fusion framework for early-stage ball bearing fault diagnosis using...

Recent Updates in Chromatographic Techniques for Development of Drugs and Clinical Biomarkers

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have attracted attention as versatile nanomaterials because of their unique physical, chemical and therapeutic properties quite different to those of bulk copper. Copper at the nanoscale possesses improved surface reactivity, redox activity and tunabl...

An Explainable Multimodal AI Software Framework for 36-Month MCI-to-Alzheimer’s Disease Progression Prediction: A Methodological Evaluation

The complexity involved in predicting the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) occurs because of differences in neuroimaging data and the many inconsistencies in biomarker data and cognitive data alike. The current research examined an AI model that uses deep learning, organiz...

A Secured Parallel Multi-Broker MQTT Framework with Chaos-Enhanced Hybrid Encryption for Repetition-Resistant IoT Security

The proliferation of IoT deployments has exposed critical vulnerabilities in MQTT-based systems, particularly ciphertext-repetition leakage in telemetry encryption, where identical plaintext blocks under a fixed key—common for static sensor readings—collapse ciphertext entropy an...

Toward a post-humanist pragmatics: investigating anaphoricity in human-AI interactions

Abstract Focusing on anaphora, the paper draws attention to the need to test pragmatic theories in light of the rise of post-humanist communicators, i.e. chatbots. The paper analyzes data collected from human-AI interactions including different types of anaphora. The analysis sho...

Synthetic Biology and Soft Robotics in Biohybrid Kidney Replacement: A Conceptual Framework and Translational Roadmap

ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease necessitates safer, more continuous kidney replacement therapies (KRT), yet current dialysis and transplantation are constrained by intermittent treatment, organ scarcity, and immunosuppression‐related complications. Methods This concept...

Subclinical hypothyroidism in secondary female infertility: a critical narrative review of evidence identified by a structured search

Abstract Background Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined by a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration above the applicable nonpregnant reference interval with a normal free thyroxine concentration. Its relevance to infertility remains contested, and secondary-infer...
