A spatiotemporal deep learning framework for detecting unusual human activity in surveillance videos

With smart gadgets and computers everywhere, real-time video monitoring is now necessary to keep people secure and lower the chance of unexpected human actions. However, current surveillance systems have a lot of trouble effectively spotting unusual actions in real life. Most of...

Dunkl–Hausdorff Operator on Weighted Orlicz Spaces

Abstract We characterize the modular and norm inequalities for the Dunkl–Hausdorff operator defined on nonnegative nonincreasing functions in the framework of the weighted Orlicz spaces.

Controlled electro-alignment molecular dynamics in a high tilt angle ferroelectric liquid crystal cell

In a high tilt angle ferroelectric liquid crystal (HTAFLC), spontaneous polarization (Ps) minimization leads to the stripe domain formation with respect to the rubbing direction, arising from the smectic layer bending, limiting uniform alignment and hence practicality. A strategy...

Core-self evaluation as a buffer against workplace bullying induced turnover intention of the IT professionals

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how different dimensions of workplace bullying (physical intimidation bullying, person-related bullying and work-related bullying) affect turnover intentions of the employees and moreover, the role of core self-evaluation (CSE) in t...

Website performance assessment of academic library online public access catalogues: a Core Web Vitals and diagnostic perspective

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the web performance of academic library online public access catalogues (OPACs), which function as the primary interface between users and library resources. The study assesses key performance indicators across desktop and mobile platforms, ide...

Presence of a trusted adult and adolescent health outcomes in Urban India

Adolescents in urban India face significant challenges in accessing healthcare and reliable health information, particularly during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the role of trusted adults in shaping adolescent health remains underexplored. This study examined he...

The Marine Origins of Contemporary Warfare

I would like to draw a genealogy of Donald Trump's rhetoric and military action in Venezuela and Iran, in particular, of how the acquisition of the resources of another country through a military operation and the disregard of any framework of international law are deemed justifi...

Evaluating Bio‐Derived Polysaccharides as Natural Binders for Fire‐Fighting Propellants

ABSTRACT Halon fire extinguishing agents have been phased out to protect the ozone layer. Fire extinguishing aerosol‐forming pyrotechnic formulations (PyFs) are increasingly recognized as effective alternatives. In PyFs, binders play a critical role by consolidating the ingredien...

Volatility Connectedness and Portfolio Optimization Across Islamic Finance, Sustainable, and Technological Innovation Markets: Evidence From Multiple Global Turbulences

ABSTRACT This study investigates volatility spillovers and minimum‐variance portfolio allocation among Islamic finance, sustainable, and technological innovation markets across four major global turbulences (COVID‐19 pandemic, Russia–Ukraine conflict, 2023 banking crisis, and 202...

Extratropical teleconnections in a multi-model ensemble nudged towards the observed QBO

The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), the dominant mode of interannual variability of monthly-mean zonal winds and temperatures in the equatorial stratosphere, has a significant influence on the circulation in other regions of the stratosphere and troposphere in boreal winter. To...
