Performance-based selection of cathodic-arc PVD TiAlN and AlCrN coatings for SR34 piston-ring steel: Tribological, tribocorrosion and thermal assessment

Piston rings operate under severe sliding conditions, high temperatures, and corrosive environments, making surface degradation a critical factor affecting engine durability. This study presents a comparative evaluation of cathodic-arc physical vapor deposition (CA-PVD) TiAlN and...

Study of flow characteristics over wall-mounted trapezoidal structures at multiple inclinations

This study numerically examines the flow field around two-dimensional wall-mounted trapezoidal obstacles under symmetric (both-side) and asymmetric (front-side and back-side) inclination at Re = 13,200, using the k–ω SST turbulence model. Validation of the model is conducted usin...

Advanced quantum computing-driven digital twin for energy and timing optimization in low-power VLSI circuits &IoT devices

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has created a critical demand for highly energy-efficient and timing-accurate Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits. Traditional simulation and modeling techniques often fall short in capturing real-time performance met...

Ion-Regulated ReversibleSwitching of Photocurrentsin Molecular Junctions

Abstract The switching of photoinduced charge transport in large-area carbon-based molecular junctions incorporating tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP) molecules has been observed by reversibly introducing hydrogen ions into the molecular layer. The TPP layer acts as an ionophoric layer...

Delayed vasocutaneous fistula following vasectomy associated with retained silk ligature: a case report with clinicopathological correlation

Abstract Background Vasectomy is a safe and highly effective method of permanent male contraception. Delayed vasocutaneous fistula is an exceptionally uncommon complication, and its diagnosis requires careful correlation of clinical, laboratory, operative and pathological finding...

Prospective comparative evaluation of povidone-iodine sitz bath and silver-based antimicrobial spray in postoperative perianal wound care: impact on healing outcomes, patient satisfaction, and treatment compliance

Perianal surgical wounds are likely to take longer to heal and get infected due to constant contamination, moisture and pain during defecation. Povidone-iodine has long been applied in the postoperative treatment, and silver-based agents have become an alternative with an excelle...

A Flood Setback Performance Index to Assess the Pluvial Flood Resilience of School Campuses in a Rapidly Urbanizing Coastal City

Pluvial flooding is intensifying in fast-growing coastal cities as rapid urbanization increases impervious surfaces and reduces natural infiltration, challenging planners to identify scalable and site-level mitigation strategies. Although statutory setbacks around institutional b...

Advancing Parkinson’s detection from MRI: a deep learning comparison of classical and quantum architectures

Abstract Purpose The precise diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) continues to pose a considerable barrier in clinical neurology. This work investigates the capability of sophisticated deep learning architectures to improve Parkinson’s disease identification via Magnetic Resonan...

Adaptive Event‐Triggered Mechanism for Uncertain Unmanned Surface Vehicle Systems Under Sequential Scaling Attacks

ABSTRACT This investigation focuses on adaptive event triggered fault‐tolerant control for uncertain unmanned surface vehicle systems (UUSVs) in the bearing of actuator failures and sequential scaling attacks. In this model, the effects of actuator failures are addressed through...

Delays in Tuberculosis Care in the Indian Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract Introduction: Being harmful to patients, delayed diagnosis and treatment can spread tuberculosis (TB) in the community, posing a significant challenge to TB elimination efforts. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the median delays of TB care and t...

Endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment versus Limberg flap reconstruction for uncomplicated pilonidal sinus disease: a prospective comparative study

Optimal surgical management of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease is still controversial. Minimally invasive endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) has emerged as an alternative to established off-midline flap procedures such as the Limberg flap. Comparative prospective...

Enhanced removal of profenofos from water/wastewater via photocatalytic adsorption using biosynthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles: a comparative study with Fenton process

This study compared the efficacy of combined adsorption–photocatalytic process using biosynthesized TiO 2 nanoparticles with the Fenton process in removing profenofos. Characterization techniques such as BET, XRD, and SEM were employed to characterize the biosynthesized nanoparti...

Digital Paradox Navigation: A Second‐Order Cybernetic Framework for Organisational Reflexivity in Digital Transformation

ABSTRACT This study develops and empirically examines the Digital Paradox Navigation (DPN) framework, which integrates second‐order cybernetics with digital transformation theory to explain how organisations manage paradoxical tensions through reflexive self‐observation. Using a...

Design and experimental validation of dual-feed cavity-backed slot antenna diplexer for millimeter-wave dual-band 5G applications
