Numerical analysis of melting heat transfer in stratified Casson nanofluid flow over an inclined wedge for energy-efficient thermal systems

Purpose Given the diverse applications of nanoparticles, blood transport and stratified flow in medical and industrial domains, this study was conducted. Design/methodology/approach Nonlinear thermal stratification is used to capture realistic, high-gradient thermal environments...

A Pilot Study of Consistency–Latency Trade-offs in Distributed Caching Under Read-Heavy Concurrent Workloads

This research preprint reports a focused pilot study of consistency–latency trade-offs among direct PostgreSQL access, TTL cache-aside, invalidate-on-write, and write-through caching implemented as a database update followed by a synchronous Redis update. The experiment comprises...

From ecological threats to environmental solutions: a critical review of invasive plant species for heavy metal phytoremediation

Heavy metal contamination represents a persistent environmental challenge threatening ecosystem stability, agricultural productivity, and human health. Therefore, the development of sustainable and cost-effective remediation strategies is essential. Phytoremediation, an environme...

Association of 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 polymorphism with escitalopram induced adverse effects in Pakistani patients of Major Depressive Disorder

Inter-individual variability in adverse effects to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) remains a major challenge in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Functional genetic variation in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4), particularly 5-HTTLPR and rs2...

SIGN-AIR: real-time sign language recognition and translation using gesture-aware neural networks on aerial robotic platforms

Abstract Communication barriers experienced by deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals remain a significant challenge, particularly in situations where conventional communication infrastructure is unavailable or fixed-camera systems have limited coverage. This paper presents SIGN-AI...

Comparative chloroplast genomics of 75 Asparagus species reveals conserved genome architecture, gene-specific positive selection, and chloroplast–nuclear phylogenetic discordance

The chloroplast genome offers a compact, maternally inherited resource for resolving evolutionary relationships in plants, yet in Asparagus it has received limited genus-wide attention relative to recent nuclear genomic efforts. Here, we de novo assembled 35 chloroplast genomes:...
