A Short Review on Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) and Its Applications
Abstract: A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is a two-dimensional electromagnetic (EM) mode occurring at the interface of noble metals whose amplitude exponentially decay down to zero when going away from the boundary of the metal. In the last five decades, the investigation is done related to understanding of the excitation of SPPs and their interaction with the features related to the surface of metals. The dispersion of light from the nanostructured …

Sustaining Artisan Livelihoods through Community Cooperative Housing: A Socio-Spatial Study of the Kumbhar Community in Pune, India
Abstract: This research addresses the problem in contemporary community housing. Housing is delivered as a physical product, while the social, economic, and cultural systems that sustain community life are largely ignored. In the resettlement of the Kumbhar (potter) Community in Pune, equal land was allotted without cohesive architectural planning, which has led to fragmented spatial organisation, underutilised work areas, conflicts over resources, unclear boundaries, and a decline in economic efficiency due …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of 100 Coupled Lorenz Oscillators: A Comprehensive Analysis of Chaotic Pattern Formation
Abstract: Chaotic Lorenz systems that interact with one another, resulting in the generation of complex space-time patterns that evolve over time. This comprehensive analysis presents a detailed investigation of spatiotemporal chaos in a network of 100 coupled Lorenz oscillators, revealing the complex interplay between individual chaotic dynamics and collective behavior in nonlinear dynamical systems. Through numerical simulation and extensive analysis, we examine how coupling transforms individual butterfly attractors into rich spatiotemporal …

Spermmediated gene transfer revisited: optimizing delivery, integration, and germline transmissionin large animal models
Abstract: Spermmediated gene transfer (SMGT) exploits the natural role of spermatozoa as DNA vectors to deliver exogenous genetic material to oocytes, potentially enabling economical production of transgenic large animals without complex embryo micromanipulation (1). Early proofofconcept studies established that mammalian sperm can bind, internalize, and protect exogenous DNA, leading to integration, expression, and germline transmission in various species, including pigs (24). Subsequent mechanistic work has challenged the traditional view of sperm …

Perception of Daylight in Residential Spaces: Evaluating Mood, Behaviour, and Lighting Preferences
Abstract: Daylighting significantly influences occupant mood, spatial behaviour, and indoor comfort, yet its role in residential settings remains underexplored compared to commercial and office environments. This study examines how daylight perception and user-controlled illuminance adjustments shape occupant preferences, spatial use, and behavioural responses in various residential spaces. Using virtual simulation techniques, 60 participants (30 male, 30 female) experienced different daylighting conditions across five rooms – living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, …

An assessment of Behavioural Pattern for a Housing Society keeping view of the Public Perception and Psychology of Urban Open Space
Abstract: In our ancient architectural texts, the dwelling for the public is perceived as a solution to the issues arising from culture. Social structures are integrated into the system by specifying prototypes for different sections of society. The connection between housing and social structure has been borrowed from Durkheim’s who discusses social space, social life and social groups to address inclusiveness and the well-being housing ecosystem. Space is created for human …
