AI-Driven Supply Chain Management in Electronics Manufacturing: A Case Study of the BOMate Platform by Foxconn

Artificial intelligence has become an important driver of transformation in supply chain management (SCM). Existing research has focused primarily on consumer-facing contexts and localized applications such as forecasting, inventory, and logistics. Comparatively less attention ha...

GREEN INDUSTRIALISATION AND EXPORT DIVERSIFICATION IN UZBEKISTAN: PATHWAYS TO LOW-CARBON VALUE CHAINS

This article examines how green industrialisation can help Uzbekistan upgrade its export structure and raise foreign-trade earnings as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the scheduled end of GSP+ preferences in 2027 change market-access conditions. The study use...

Preparation and Investigation of Solvatomorphs of Anti-Tumor Candidate RA-XII

RA-XII, a unique natural cyclopeptide, is a potential anti-colorectal cancer candidate by mainly inhibiting protective autophagy, SREBP-1-dependent lipid biogenesis and suppressing activation of the Akt-mTOR pathway in HCT-116 cells. However, there have been no investigations int...

Nature-inspired antenna design using hybrid ANN and Bayesian optimization techniques for biomedical applications

Abstract This paper is presenting a systematic approach for designing of antenna resonating at 3.18 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 3.10–3.285 GHz which lies at the lower edge of the UWB spectrum used in IEEE 802.15.6-based Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) research. The propo...

Speaking through caste comedy: Manjeet Sarkar’s Let’s Talk About It and the insertion of a Dalit voice into the Indian stand-up comedy scene

Despite caste playing a critical role in shaping Indian society, Indian stand-up comedians do not often directly make jokes about caste. This is because caste jokes can make the audience uncomfortable. Critiquing or engaging with caste is risky for the comedians. This study analy...

The Largest Bundler Comfort, Certainty and Guidance in AI Assistants, and the First Seller of the Bundle Who Holds a Denominator — A Sequel to Comfort Needs No Denominator

Abstract Comfort Needs No Denominator showed that motivational and success content sells three goods in one product: comfort, which acts on the buyer’s state; certainty, which scales up positions without improving estimates; and guidance, a claim about effects. The three differ s...

Citizen-level democratic resilience: Public democratic preference, evaluation of democracy, and quality of governance in Indonesia

As in many other democracies, Indonesian democracy has been backsliding for more than a decade, yet it has not fully broken down. Does this mean that Indonesian democracy is still resilient? This article examines this puzzle through the lens of citizen-level democratic resilience...

Optimization and experimental study of thermal coring parameters for detecting lunar water ice

To address the challenges of in-situ lunar water-ice extraction—including limited extraction range, low efficiency, and high energy consumption—this study proposes a thermal drill-based water-ice extraction method utilizing induction heating. Using the Box-Behnken design, respons...

THE USE OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AND TRIBES

India is a country where nature is the life line of tribals. The present study was carried out in bichhiya block around the Kanha national park area of Mandla, where many tribes are living and using many local medicinal plants to heal themselves. Here the study is based on the us...

Dimension- and label-uniform stability of Gaussian propellers

Assume the sharp finite Gaussian propeller inequality and its finite equality classification. We prove that the deficit in the squared first-moment functional controls the square of the Gaussian measure distance to a propeller, with one positive constant independent of the ambien...

Empirical Silicon Benchmarking of a 32-Tile Parallel Hardware Substrate for High-Throughput Modular Sifting

This paper presents the empirical hardware validation of the "OWJ Al-Areem" architecture—a modular, 32-tile parallel spatial compute substrate implemented and verified on an Intel MAX 10 FPGA (10M08SAU169C8G). The physical substrate was subjected to continuous real-time execution...

Effect of Pre-Corrosion on the Fatigue Behavior of 347H Austenitic Stainless Steel at Elevated Temperature

The combined damage induced by the nitrate molten salt corrosion and cyclic loading at elevated temperatures is an important damage issue for the reliable operation of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. In previous works, the effect of the molten salt pre-corrosion on the fat...

The American Water Charitable Foundation, a philanthropic nonprofit organization established by drinking water and wastewater utility company American Water, and its affiliate, Indiana American Water, have awarded a $25,000 grant to Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana to support science,...

Novel Nano-Chemical Additives for Reducing Carbon Emissions During Cement Mixing and Hydration

The cement industry is one of the largest industrial sources of anthropogenic carbondioxide emissions. The principal sources of these emissions are limestone calcination, fuel combustion during clinker production, electricity consumption during grinding, and the large quantity of...

Electrochemical and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy-Based Biosensing Strategies for Wound Infection Detection: Recent Advances and Applications in Point-of-Care Diagnostics

The growing prevalence of chronic wound infections presents a major global healthcare challenge due to delayed healing, prolonged hospitalization, and increased rates of limb amputation. Conventional diagnostic approaches, including clinical assessment, microbiological culture, a...

Structural Behaviour of Umbrella Vaults Under Self-Weight: A Case Study

Masonry buildings belonging to the architectural heritage are often characterized by the presence of masonry arches, vaults, and domes. A thorough structural assessment of masonry vaults is essential from a conservation perspective, as these elements are often subject to damage,...

Laboratory Testing at the End of Life in Patients With Cancer: A Systematic Review of Utilization, Costs, Clinical Utility, and Patient Burden

Background Laboratory tests can identify reversible causes of distress near the end of life, but how often they are ordered does not by itself show whether they improve care. Objective To synthesize evidence on laboratory testing near the end of life in cancer, including utilizat...

Monograph B (The Botanical Distinction)

This monograph formalizes "The Botanical Distinction," an operator-theoretic analysis of state-space perturbations caused by mind-altering agents. The study resolves a major analytical flaw in classical legal, theological, and jurisprudential frameworks: the categorical conflatio...
