In degenerate, compensated and viscous - crystalline alloy, , the Global Einstein -and- Van Cong relations, as those given in Equations (24, 31), and various optical-electrical-thermoelectric laws, enhanced by: the optico-electrical phenomenon (O-EP) and the electro-optical pheno...

The Ripple Effect of Managed Pressure Drilling

Once reserved for high-end deepwater wells, managed pressure drilling (MPD) has gained a dedicated following in the US land market. Now the same managed pressure techniques that made difficult wells possible and safer to drill are cascading into other aspects of the well-construc...

MANAGEMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE

Pharmaceutical products are vital for disease prevention and treatment, but their rising production and consumption have generated significant pharmaceutical waste from households, farms, healthcare facilities, and industries due to routine use, damage, or expiry. Improper dispos...

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TOPICAL HYDROGEL CONTAINING COMBINE DRUGS (COMPARATIVE STUDY) FOR TOPICAL DELIVERY

The present study aimed to prepare and comparatively evaluate topical hydrogels containing salicylic acid, aloin, and their combination for topical drug delivery. Three hydrogel formulations were prepared using Carbopol 940 and characterized for physicochemical properties, drug c...

A customisable environmental sensor proof-of-concept to enable prescription medicine reuse

Abstract The main barriers preventing medicine reuse are concerns of costs and safety risks. To address this, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept Smart Packaging and Returns Assessment System (SPaRAS): A customisable smart sensor that validates the storage conditions of medicines w...

Introduction: Adolescents face growing global health risks from unhealthy eating behaviors, and Iraq is no exception. Years of conflict, economic pressures, and social change have altered the diets of Iraqi teenagers, leading to both undernutrition and rising levels of overweight...

Gradient usability in few-qubit quantum Neural Networks: A signal-to-noise ratio framework for evaluating mitigation strategies

The barren-plateau problem—the exponential flattening of optimization landscapes—severely limits the trainability of quantum neural networks (QNNs) on near-term hardware. This review examines ansatz-design and complementary mitigation strategies for few-qubit QNNs under finite-sh...

One-Source Awareness Model (OSAM) — 一元同源觉知模型

The One-Source Awareness Model (OSAM) is a self-consistent ontological framework constructed through literary narration and mathematical formalism. All speculative reasoning originates from independent pure deduction, without reference to religious doctrines or existing theories....
