Data Science for Environmental Modelling
Abstract: Abstract: Soil moisture is a critical Earth system variable linking atmospheric, hydrological, and ecological processes. However, observations are sparse and fragmented: in situ gauges provide point data, satellite missions (SMAP, SMOS, Sentinel-1) offer broad coverage at coarse resolutionQ, and land‐surface models (GLDAS, ERA5, etc.) yield estimates with their own biase. Here we propose a conceptual framework for integrated environmental data modelling, combining rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture information with machine …

A Machine Learning-Based Framework for Urban Traffic Congestion Prediction and Control Using Intelligent Transportation Systems
Abstract: Abstract Traffic congestion remains a critical challenge in rapidly expanding urban areas, causing increased travel delays, excessive fuel consumption, environmental degradation, and economic inefficiencies. Traditional traffic management approaches are often insufficient, as they lack the ability to respond dynamically to continuously changing traffic conditions. This study proposes a novel data-driven framework for the prediction and management of traffic congestion using Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The methodology integrates real-time and historical …

Nanotechnology-Enabled Non-Invasive Teeth Whitening: Safety,Efficacy, and Regulatory Perspectives with a Focus on India, Asia, and Developed Countries
Abstract: Demand for tooth whitening is growing worldwide, but conventional peroxide-based bleaching is associated with dentin hypersensitivity, enamel softening, and softtissue irritation, especially under repeated or high-concentration use. Nanotechnology offers a new class of non-invasive whitening strategies that aim to combine esthetic improvement with enamel protection and remineralization. Among these, nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) toothpastes and gels have the most advanced evidence base; in vitro and in situ studies indicate that nanoHAP deposits …

Quantum Dots in Oral Diagnostics and Theranostics:Promise and Preclinical Status
Abstract: Quantum dots in oral diagnostics and theranostics represent a rapidly evolving, largely preclinical strategy that couples highly sensitive optical imaging with targeted therapeutic delivery in the oral cavity. Their size-dependent emission, high photostability, and broad excitation spectra allow bright, multiplexed visualization of key molecular events in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma, while surface functionalization with antibodies, peptides, or small-molecule ligands enables selective binding to dysplastic and …

Analyze Effect Of Skew Angle On Performance of R.C Girder Bridge Deck
Abstract: Abstract - The performance of reinforced c oncrete (R.C) girder bridge decks is significantly influenced by geometric configurations, among which the skew angle plays a critical role. Skewed bridges are commonly employed to accommodate site constraints, road alignment, and river crossings, but they introduce complex stress distributions, torsional effects, and differential deflections compared to straight bridges. This study investigates the effect of varying skew angles on the structural behavior of …

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based MPPT for PV Systems Under Partial Shading: A HybridMetaheuristic-Optimized Control Framework.
Abstract: Partial shade and quickly changing environmental conditions make Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) arrays particularly difficult. In these situations, traditional algorithms frequently fail to find the global optimum or experience sluggish convergence and steady-state oscillations. To obtain reliable, real-time MPPT under non-uniform irradiance, this research suggests a hybrid control architecture that combines a deep recurrent reinforcement learning (DRL) agent with metaheuristic-based parameter optimization and a digital-twin training …
