This paper presents a distributed multi-agent control (DMAC) framework for an electric-vehicle (EV)-integrated renewable microgrid with photovoltaic generation, a wind turbine, a battery energy storage system, 100 EV agents, and a grid-forming inverter. Power-balance estimation u...

Evaluation of laparoscopic surgery and medical management in ectopic pregnancy: experience from a tertiary healthcare center

Ectopic pregnancy is a major gynecological emergency and an important cause of maternal morbidity during the first trimester of pregnancy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to reduce complications and preserve fertility. Laparoscopic surgery and methotrexate...

Precision pesticide application in solanaceous crops using transfer learning explainable artificial intelligence and drone based spatial zone mapping

Blanket pesticide spraying remains the default response to foliar disease in much of smallholder and mid-scale agriculture, despite three decades of precision-agriculture research arguing that inputs should be applied only where they are needed. This paper reports an case study o...

An Automated Multi-Source Disaster SOS Verification and Intelligent Emergency Response System

One of the most persistent problems in emergency management is the time gap between the moment a disaster begins and the moment a responding authority has enough verified information to act. Apex Response is designed to reduce this gap by allowing individuals affected by earthqua...

Macrocyclic ligands as corrosion inhibitors: Macrocyclic effects, host-guest chemistry, coordination and complexation with metal surfaces and ions

The increasing demand for durable and efficient corrosion inhibitors has intensified interest in macrocyclic ligands as an emerging class of tunable corrosion inhibitors. Several salient features, including macrocyclic effect, host-guest recognition, preorganized multidentate coo...

Synthesis, Pharmacological Evaluation, Molecular Docking, and In Silico ADMET Profiling of Novel Ibuprofen–Chalcone Hybrids as Potent Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Abstract Objective: Conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are severely limited by systemic toxicities. To address these constraints, we designed and synthesized a novel series of ibuprofen–chalcone hybrid molecules, capitalizing on a molecular hybridization s...

Synergistic effects of copper nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes on dielectric behaviour of poly methyl methacrylate-based hybrid nanocomposites with machine learning insights

Polymer-based dielectric nanocomposites have attracted considerable attention for electronic applications; however, achieving enhanced dielectric performance while maintaining electrical insulation remains a significant challenge due to inadequate filler dispersion and limited un...
