Design and Testing of a Gravity-Constrained Fertilizer Guide Tube for Stable Fertilizer Cluster Movement

Fertilizer clusters tend to lose their agglomerated state upon ground contact, which reduces fertilizer use efficiency. To address this, we designed a gravity-constrained fertilizer guide tube. Based on the principle of minimum friction, we designed a trapezoidal groove. By analy...

CONCEPT OF VIRUDDHA AHARA AND ITS ROLE IN THE CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF HRIDYA ROGA

Background & Aim: Viruddha Ahara (dietary incompatibilities) represents a critical yet underestimated etiological factor in modern lifestyle disorders, particularly Hridya Roga (cardiovascular diseases). This review synthesizes classical Ayurvedic concepts from the Brihattrayi an...

Faradaic and Non-Faradaic Spectral Induced Polarization Signatures of Copper and Graphite Mixtures: Disseminated Grain Versus Veinlet Mineral Structures

Summary Characterizing electronically conductive minerals with spectral induced polarization (SIP) has been a longstanding goal of mineral exploration. A more comprehensive understanding of how mineral texture (e.g. disseminated grain versus veinlet forms) and mineral type influe...

Beyond Transparency: Reframing Ethical Explainability in Human–AI Teams

Purpose: Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is increasingly promoted as a mechanism for improving transparency, trust, and accountability in AI-assisted decision-making. However, its ethical value remains uncertain when AI systems are embedded within human teams and organi...

Synergistic Co3O4–LaFeO3–Fe2O3 Ternary Nanocomposite Electrocatalysts for the High-Performance Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Abstract Developing efficient, non-noble metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains central to advancing water-splitting technologies for sustainable hydrogen production. Herein, a perovskite-spinel oxide nanocomposite, Co3O4–LaFeO3 nanoparticles ancho...

Dynamics of Metarepresentation and Structural Limits of Self Containment: A Diagonalization and Transfinite Cardinal Approach

We formalize the problem of epistemic self-containment in reflective agents usingstate-space representation and operator theory. By defining a metarepresentation operator Φover a family of cognitive frontiers F ⊆ P(U), we demonstrate that complete self-containmentis strictly impo...

Reproductive factors and prognostic risk stratification in breast cancer: A single-centre study from Kerala with the PC-RISK-5 scoring system

Objectives: To examine the associations between reproductive factors — parity, lactation duration, and menopausal age — and tumour characteristics, molecular subtype, and PC-RISK-5 prognostic scores in women with breast cancer from a tertiary centre in Kerala, India. Material and...

A Morality Based Target Audience Analysis and Quantum Open System Interaction Model for Propaganda

Two people can view the same information but can take different actions. Most importantly, while thinking about moral and political issues, such as abortion, depending on the differences in the psychological systems, a perception of threat can arise. To exploit this aspect of the...

Food Allergies and Eating Disorders: An Exploration of Screening Prevalence and Associated Factors Among Adults

Background/Objectives: Food allergy (FA) affects up to 10% of adults and requires ongoing dietary vigilance that may increase vulnerability to eating disorders (EDs), yet evidence in adults remains limited. This study compared ED screening and history between adults with and with...

URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE RENEWAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC REVITALIZATION IN ABA METROPOLIS, ABIA STATE, NIGERIA

This study examined the relationship between urban infrastructure renewal and socioeconomic revitalization in Aba Metropolis, Abia State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional mixed-method research design was adopted, combining a questionnaire survey with field observations and documentary...

Standard- versus low-dose CBCT in evaluating mandibular canal visibility and its impact on assessing the spatial relationship with mandibular third molars: a comparative analysis

Abstract Objectives To compare the visibility of the mandibular canal (MC) at three mesial-distal levels adjacent to the mandibular third molar (M3M) using standard-dose and four low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) protocols, and evaluate their impact on assessing the s...

E8‑Phi Quantum Brain Resonance Principle — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors, when scaled by successive powers of the golden ratio φ and anchored at a 132 Hz base, generate a fractal hierarchy of multi‑harmonic resonances that couple the 128/112 sublattice torsion to neuronal membrane potentials, producing stable gamma‑band phase‑l...

Donor Site Scarring and Dyspigmentation Following Split-Thickness Skin Graft Procedure: A Large-Sample, Single-Site Retrospective Study

Abstract Split-thickness skin grafts are essential for managing burns and non-healing wounds, but donor site complications such as dyspigmentation and hypertrophic features can impair long-term donor site appearance. Evidence on risk factors for donor site morbidity in large, div...

Global Trends in Transplant Nursing Research from 1995 to January 2026: A Bibliometric Analysis

Introduction Solid organ transplant nursing is a critical specialty that influences patient outcomes throughout the transplantation process. However, the global development, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution of research in this field have not been systematically mapp...
