Influence of graphene oxide and fly ash on the thermal and structural performance of concrete slabs

In this study, fly ash (FA)-and graphene oxide (GO)-modified reinforced concrete (RC) slabs were examined for their mechanical characteristics, durability, and microstructural behavior at high temperatures. The use of cutting-edge and sustainable materials is the main goal for im...

Clinicopathological discordance in retromolar trigone squamous cell carcinoma with repeated benign biopsies: a case report

Retromolar trigone (RMT) squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon but highly aggressive oral cavity malignancy owing to its concealed anatomical location and propensity for early invasion of adjacent structures. Diagnosis may be challenging when superficial biopsies fail to detect...

Perceptions, barriers and facilitators of ICDS preschool enrollment among mothers in rural Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India

The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme is India’s cornerstone programme for early childhood care and education (ECCE), which is delivered through Anganwadi Centres (AWCs). Despite its extensive reach, enrolment and attendance remain uneven. Understanding parental...

Evaluation of von Willebrand Factor Antigen as a Prognostic Marker of Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Prospective Observational Study

BACKGROUND: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Early identification of high-risk patients is crucial for guiding treatment. Von Willebrand factor (VWF) antigen, a marker of endothelial activation and platelet adhesion, plays a role i...

Climate change based yield production using hybrid deep learning with optimal feature selection

Accurate agricultural yield prediction under changing climate conditions has become the challenge task due to the increasing variability in environmental factors like temperature fluctuations, irregular rainfall patterns and soil degradation. Traditional statistical and machine l...

Hybrid Blockchain and Deep Learning Model for Robust Internet of Things Security in Intelligent Transportation Systems

ABSTRACT Smart cities are digitally advanced urban environments that are equipped with sensor networks to gather, share, and analyze extensive data across interconnected systems. Among various smart city applications, the intelligent transportation system represents one of the mo...

DTARNU-Net: Dense Tiered Attention Residual Nested U-Net for CT Liver Tumor Segmentation

Liver tumor segmentation is a significant task in clinical imaging that involves detecting liver tumors and distinguishing them from the surrounding liver tissue in CT scans. Precision segmentation performs important roles in the initial detection of liver cancer, treatment plann...

FEA-Assisted nanostructured piezoelectric sensor and deep learning framework for noninvasive tumor detection and tissue stiffness analysis

Biosensors have long been used in environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics for detecting harmful bacteria, viruses, and biomolecules, evolving from simple biological sensing systems to advanced nanofabrication-based devices. With help of nanotechnology, nano-biosensors h...

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...

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...

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...

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...
