Empowering Lady Health Workers with AI Routing to Solve Healthcare Coordination Failures in Rural Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Shah, Muhammad Nameer

2026-06-18

This study examines maternal healthcare coordination issues in rural Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. Despite current infrastructure, rural communities face significant obstacles due to the uneven geographic distribution of physicians and fragmented health governance. The study suggests a decentralized digital appro...

Hard-Constrained Physics-Informed Neural Network for Steady Axisymmetric Blood Flow in Healthy and Stenotic Veins

Narayanan, Sankara

2026-06-12

The dynamics of blood flow in veins can be significantly affected by changes in the vessel geometry, especially if the latter includes stenosis, which may lead to changes in the velocity field as well as increased flow resistance. In this study, we seek to develop a PINN-based representation of the steady, axisymmetric...

From opt-in to infrastructure: Non-intrusive load monitoring, sustained household energy conservation, and the Civic Energy Disaggregation Mandate

Milind Sahu

2026-06-09

A persistent gap exists between residential energy awareness and durable conservation behaviour, rooted in a fundamental informational deficit: standard billing infrastructure delivers only aggregate monthly consumption data, which behavioural science identifies as insufficient to sustain corrective action beyond an in...

Molecular Docking-Based Screening of Phytohormone-Derived Compounds Against Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase and Cyclooxygenase-2: An In Silico Study With ADME-Based Pharmacokinetic Profiling

Sameer, Mohd

2026-06-08

Background: Chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, share a common pathophysiological basis in dysregulated lipid mediator signaling. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH; EC 3.3.2.10) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are validated pharmacological targets in th...

An analysis of Reversible, Tissue-Specific CRISPR Circuits in gene editing safety compared to Permanent Knockout Approaches in Autoimmune Disease Gene Therapy

Ohonba, Noma

2026-06-02

This study investigated whether reversible, tissue-specific CRISPR circuits offer superior safety profiles compared with permanent knockout approaches in autoimmune disease gene therapy. CRISPR-based therapies have shown significant therapeutic potential in treating autoimmune disorders. Still, permanent gene editing i...

ScamShield: Interpretable Multi-Signal Scam Detection

Vishwajeet adkine

2026-05-17

Scam and phishing detection systems typically rely on rigid heuristic rules or opaque large language models. This paper presents ScamShield: a hybrid, interpretable pipeline combining a 24-feature supervised machine learning model, an LLM semantic safety layer, and rule-based heuristics in a unified ensemble. Evaluated...

A Feasibility Study on Alpha-Decay Particle Propulsion for Deep-Space Missions

Dutta Ankush

2026-05-12

Alpha decay ejects MeV-scale alpha particles at ∼10^7 m/s, implying an extremely high effective exhaust velocity and specific impulse. This paper studies whether that exhaust can be used as a practical thrust source for deep-space missions without external electrical power by directly allowing decay products to leave a...

A Comparative Analysis of CAN-SAT Flight Data and the International Standard Atmosphere in Urban Sub-Tropical Environments

Pandey, Laksh

2026-05-09

A low-cost Can-Sat flight was conducted over Bengaluru (lat 13.0748°N, long 77.3670°E) to record temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), and pressure (P) profiles in the lowest few hundred meters of the troposphere. The key finding is that the observed profiles strongly deviate from the International Standard Atmosphe...

The Impact of Soil pH on the Carbon and Nitrogen Retention Capacity and Cumulative CO2 Emissions in Microbially Activated Biochar-Amended Soil

Shah, Jay

2026-05-02

While industry and fossil fuels have greatly contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, the agricultural sector is another major driver, accounting for roughly 21-37% of human-related emissions (Mbow et al., 2022). The purpose of this study was to examine how soil pH influenced CO2 emissions and carbon and nitrogen reten...

Mechanical CAD Design and Development of an Adaptive Control Algorithm for Autonomous Robotics Systems in Manufacturing

Helal Uddin

2026-05-01

The rise of smart automation and Industry 4.0 requires flexible, precise, and adaptive capabilities in autonomous robotic manufacturing. But traditional robotic control systems are based on rigid parameters and deterministic models, making them difficult for complex environments as they undergo changes. Moreover, exis...

Embedding Drift as a Sensitive Indicator of Internal Representation Instability in Language Model Fine-Tuning

Harshit Chaturvedy

2026-04-30

Fine-tuning pre-trained language models alter both performance metrics and internal representations, yet conventional loss measurements often fail to capture subtle shifts in high-dimensional embedding space. In this study, we introduce embedding drift, a scalar metric defined as the mean cosine distance between hidden...

Development of a Solar-powered Cold Storage for Tomato Fruits Preservation.

Olanrewaju, Peter

2026-04-28

Post-harvest losses of tomato fruits present a significant challenge in agricultural production, especially in areas lacking reliable electricity. This research developed and assessed a solar-powered cold storage system designed to extend tomato shelf life. The system featured a 4-liter insulated chamber with two Pelti...

Integrating Environmental Sensors and Real Time Feedback for Enhanced Study Productivity

Shanmuka Gottimukkala

2026-04-10

Background Environmental factors–ambient noise, insufficient lighting, and thermal discomfort–measurably impair adolescent cognitive performance, yet high school students studying at home typically lack tools to monitor these conditions systematically. No prior study has examined real time, multi sensor environmental f...

Beyond Hallucination: Temporal Knowledge Asymmetry as a Distinct Failure Mode in Large Language Models for Non-Western Knowledge Domains

Parth Anand

2026-03-30

Most work on LLM reliability focuses on hallucination, which refers to models generating confident but false information. This paper identifies and characterizes a related but distinct failure mode that has received less attention: temporal knowledge asymmetry, where models provide correct information for one geographi...
