How Scientists Look for New Pathogens Before They Spread
Abstract: Emerging infectious illnesses are a persistent danger to global health. They often come from unexpected places, such wildlife reservoirs, changes in the climate, or human activities. Finding new diseases before they create epidemics is one of the biggest problems in modern epidemiology. This article talks about how scientists use genetic monitoring, field sampling, and real-time data processing to find, track, and describe new infectious organisms in a way that works …

Material-Level Degradation of Magnetorheological Fluids Under Long-Term Cyclic Shear
Abstract: The long-term functional stability of magnetorheological fluids (MRF) remains a key limitation for their reliable use in adaptive systems and continuously operated magnetorheological devices. In this study, the intrinsic evolution of rheological properties in a commercial MRF (MRC-C1L) is systematically examined under prolonged cyclic loading, with the aim of isolating material-level degradation mechanisms independent of device-related effects. The fluid was subjected to 120,000 low-strain oscillatory shear cycles under a constant …

Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Modelling: Data, Processes, Integration and Future Directions
Abstract: Atmospheric modelling plays a central role in weather forecasting, climate projection, and air quality assessment; however, the availability, accuracy, and representativeness of atmospheric observations fundamentally constrain its reliability. Over the past two decades, rapid advances in remote sensing (RS) have transformed atmospheric observation by providing spatially continuous, multiscale measurements of key atmospheric variables, including aerosols, trace gases, clouds, precipitation, and atmospheric thermodynamic profiles. This review synthesises recent progress in integrating …

Nitrosamine Accumulation, Processing Variables, and Indigenous Plant Inhibitors in Nigerian Traditionally Processed Meats
Abstract: N-nitrosamines are classified as probable or possible human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines — principally N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) — are formed in abundance during the preparation of widely consumed Nigerian traditional processed meats including suya, kilishi, and balangu. This original investigation combined a six geopolitical zone of Nigerian market survey with laboratory-controlled model system experiments, effects of processing parameters on N-Nitrosamine formation …

A Review of Herbal Photoprotective Agents: From Traditional Knowledge to Modern Sunscreen Formulations
Abstract: Continuous exposure of skin to UV rays leads to tanning, premature aging, sunburn, pigmentation, and skin cancer. Sunscreens are widely used to protect the skin from these harmful stimuli. However, sunscreen components may interfere with other health concerns like irritation, itching, allergic reactions, and distinct environmental damage. This major concern initiated the introduction of herbal photoprotective agents, which are eco-friendly, safer for use, and rich in antioxidants (preventing free radicals). …

Plant-Derived Antimicrobials as Next-Generation Solutions to Multidrug Resistance
Abstract: The steady rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens is reshaping how clinicians, researchers, and policymakers think about infection control. When bacteria acquire the ability to survive exposure to three or more antibiotic classes at once—whether through efflux pumps, enzyme-mediated drug destruction, target modifications, or reduced membrane permeability—treatment options narrow dramatically, hospital stays lengthen, and mortality climbs. Conventional pharmaceutical pipelines have struggled to keep pace with this biological arms race, pushing the …

Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Dynamic Vibration and Damping Analysis of Sustainable Nano-Reinforced Polymer Composite Elements for Vehicle Suspension Applications
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical investigation into the dynamic vibration characteristics of nano-reinforced polymer composite elements intended for vehicle suspension applications. A single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) quarter-car model is employed to derive fundamental expressions for natural frequency, damping ratio, logarithmic decrement, and displacement transmissibility. The primary contribution lies in establishing explicit analytical linkages between material-level viscoelastic properties specifically storage modulus and loss modulus and system-level suspension parameters including stiffness and damping coefficients. …
