Horticulture acreage estimation: remote sensing vis-a-vis sample surveys
Timely and spatially explicit estimates of horticultural crop acreage are required to support agricultural statistics, resource allocation, and production planning. This study assessed the agreement between satellite-derived acreage estimates and house-to-house survey data for se...

Thermal Fluctuations and the Corrected Thermodynamics of Euler–Heisenberg Anti–de Sitter Black Holes
Black holes are bona fide thermodynamic systems, and the leading quantum correction to their entropy is a universal logarithm whose coefficient encodes the microscopic degrees of freedom. We ask how this correction reshapes the thermodynamics of the four-dimensional Euler–Heisenb...

Abstract Monitoring injected CO2 saturation is critical for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, but its quantification remains challenging due to complex fluid-rock interactions and the subtle seismic signatures of partial saturation. Saturation analysis is an integral asp...

Purpose The scientific knowledge for the essential fat-soluble vitamin E (VitE) remains inconclusive. There is still a lack of valid status parameters and deficiency symptoms for insufficient intake. Therefore, the derivation of a dietary reference value (DRV) for VitE is challen...

Impact of grid resolution on the abyssal ocean representation in numerical models
Accurately representing abyssal water masses and their inter-basin pathways remains a challenge for global ocean models and reanalyses. In this study, we investigate how horizontal and vertical resolution influence the simulation of abyssal waters by first evaluating three ocean...

Colonial legacies and branded identities: labour market exclusion among India’s Denotified Tribes
After the 1857 rebellion against colonial rule, the British Colonial government enacted Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 to control some sections of Indian society. The Act notified the nomadic, semi-nomadic, and tribes as hereditary criminals. This CT Act was later repealed in 1952,...

The Rendering Problem in Brand Perception: From Genetic Expression to the Perception Cloud
ABSTRACT Brand perception is constructed by audiences, not contained in a brand's design artefacts, yet branding theory lacks a structural account of why one fixed brand specification yields divergent perceptions across audiences and over time. This paper identifies the rendering...

Responses to the Four Commentators
In response to commentators, I address four questions about my free will skepticism about basically deserved moral responsibility and punishment. Replying to Megan Griffith, I argue that while coherent top-down naturalistic accounts of agency can be developed, the evidence that o...

Aeroelastic Stability of Hingeless Rotor Blades in Descent Flight
In this paper, the aeroelastic stability of hingeless rotor blades in the descent flight by including the effects of vortex ring state (VRS) has been qualitatively investigated. The blade is modelled as a cantilevered beam using an exact formulation, while the aerodynamic loads a...

The Effects of Ultrasound Therapy in Patients With Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Objective To investigate the effects of different therapeutic ultrasound (US) modes on pain, functional status, quality of life, and iliotibial band (ITB) thickness in patients with iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). Materials and Methods This prospective, nonrandomised study inclu...

Cooperation is often difficult to start but easier to sustain once established. We ask whether this asymmetry can arise from payoff-to-signal transduction before objective payoffs enter action comparison. In a minimal contribution-sharing game, at a given return factor, cooperati...
