Uttarabasti in Female Infertility: A Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Outcomes and Safety Profile
Abstract: Background: Uttarabasti (UB) is a specialized Panchakarma procedure involving intrauterine instillation of medicated Sneha, classically indicated in Yonivyapad and Vandhyatwa. It facilitates targeted local drug delivery, bypassing gastrointestinal metabolism and enabling direct therapeutic action at the uterine level. In Ayurvedic understanding, UB achieves Garbhashaya Shuddhi and Apana Vata Anulomana — the two primary pathological corrections considered essential in Vandhyatwa. Infertility affects an estimated 10–15% of couples globally, with a substantial …

Thermo-Mechanical Behavior and Intelligent Optimization of Contact Temperature During Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Single-Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing of Zinc Alloy
Abstract: This study proposes a new integration of the experimental analysis, multi-physics finite element modelling (FEM) and machine learning (ML) optimisation of contact temperature (CT) in ultrasonic vibration-assisted single pole magnetic abrasive finishing (UV-SPMAF) of zinc alloy. The three gaps of the research are addressed: (i) The absence of a multi-physics FEM model that can couple electromagnetic, thermal and structural fields for UV-SPMAF of zinc; (ii) No quantified contribution of the …

Generative AI-Driven Design Optimization of Lightweight Polymer Composites for Electric Vehicles
Abstract: Lightweight polymer composites are increasingly important for electric vehicles, where mass reduction must be achieved without compromising structural performance, thermal stability, manufacturability, or material reliability. This study develops a generative AI-driven inverse-design framework for identifying experimentally credible lightweight polymer-composite configurations under coupled EV-oriented constraints. Public experimental polymer-composite datasets were integrated through leakage-controlled preprocessing and group-aware validation. A multi-task neural surrogate predicted mechanical response, while a conditional variational autoencoder explored feasible …

Farmers In India: Impact of Minimum Support Price, Exploitation in Mandis, and Conditions Leading to Distress Selling
Abstract: Indian agriculture remains dominated by small and marginal farmers who face persistent income insecurity despite the existence of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system. The MSP, designed to provide remunerative prices and food‑security procurement, has produced significant benefits in select regions and crops—especially wheat and paddy in states like Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. However, its coverage is uneven, with many farmers in pulses, oilseeds, and horticulture regions selling below …

Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …

Enhance the Thermal Performance and Fluid Flow Behavior in Micro-Tube Heat Exchangers with Variable Fluid Properties for Cooling Applications
Abstract: This paper focus on the substantial effects of fluid property changes and phase change events, this study provides a comprehensive transient assessment of the heat exchanger's thermal performance and fluid flow behaviour for cooling and dehumidification applications. In response to a step-change perturbation, a dynamic model was created and co-simulated to describe the moist air (shell-side) and the two-phase refrigerant (tube-side), as well as their non-linear interactions. The significant correlation …

A Particle-Derived Nonlinear Dynamical Framework for Bubble Oscillations: Reduced-Order Modeling, Bifurcation Analysis, and Optimal Stabilization
Abstract: Particle-based fluid simulation has emerged as a powerful computational framework for modeling complex multiphase flows involving large deformations, moving interfaces, and nonlinear fluid interactions that challenge conventional mesh-based approaches. In this work, a nonlinear dynamical systems framework is developed for particle-resolved bubble oscillations by constructing a reduced-order model that preserves the dominant physical mechanisms governing bubble interface evolution. The formulation represents the bubble dynamics through coupled radial and shape deformation …

A Ventilated Dual-Function Photonic–Phononic Metasurface for Simultaneous Passive Radiative Cooling and Low-Frequency Noise Mitigation in Building Envelopes: Conceptual Design and Computational Feasibility Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic metamaterials for sound insulation and photonic/radiative-cooling metamaterials for passive thermal management have each matured separately for building-envelope retrofit, but existing studies address ventilation, acoustic damping and radiative thermal control in isolation, and no reported unit-cell architecture co-designs all three within a single shared structure. This gap persists because materials that are acoustic absorptive are generally dense and structurally opaque, whereas materials that are highly solar-reflective are conventionally applied to …

Thermo-hydraulic Performance of Multi-Pass Double-Pipe Heat Exchangers: Integrating Polymer Composite Tube Wall Materials via CFD Parametric Study and Experimental Validation
Abstract: Metallic materials such as steel and copper have traditionally dominated heat exchanger manufacturing because of their excellent thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and long-established industrial reliability. However, their high weight, susceptibility to corrosion in aggressive operating environments, and inability to provide tunable thermal properties have motivated interest in alternative materials for next-generation thermal systems. Thermally conductive polymer composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), boron nitride (BN), and carbon-based fillers offer an …

Early and Premature Menopause
Abstract: For the sake of communal welfare and gender equality, women's health must be improved. The end of reproductive life is marked by menopause, which usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55 and is impacted by lifestyle, environmental, and genetic variables. Social injustices, poor diet, and reproductive stressors are associated with early menopause (before 45), which raises the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cognitive decline. Decreases in …

Abstract: This paper presents a substantially reworked Indian-context evaluation of fire protection systems in a 14-building high-rise sample from Indore. The study reuses the original field dataset but replaces the earlier code mix with an explicitly IS-aligned and NBC-oriented analytical framework. Physical observation, document review and interview inputs were screened against requirements related to means of egress, compartmentation, fire detection and alarm, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, emergency lighting, smoke control, …
