Evaluation of Shear Walls and Bracings in Irregular Buildings Under Seismic Load
Abstract: The structural integrity and stability of irregular buildings under lateral forces such as wind and seismic loads pose significant challenges in modern construction practices. Irregularities in a building & geometry and mass distribution can lead to uneven force distribution, making the structure more vulnerable to lateral displacement and potential failure. To enhance the resilience of such structures, shear walls and bracing systems are commonly employed to improve lateral load resistance. …

Lyapunov-Stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Control for Robust Anti-Lock Braking Under Uncertain Road Adhesion Conditions
Abstract: This paper proposes a Lyapunov-stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (FO-IT2FLC) for robust anti-lock braking system (ABS) control under nonlinear vehicle dynamics and uncertain road adhesion conditions. The proposed framework integrates fractional-order error dynamics to capture memory-dependent tire–road interaction, interval Type-2 fuzzy inference to model uncertainty via footprint-of-uncertainty representation, and a Lyapunov-based adaptive learning mechanism for real-time parameter tuning. A rigorous stability proof guarantees boundedness of all closed-loop …

Unani Concepts of Brain Pathology: Humoral Mechanisms in Māddī Neurological Disorders
Abstract: Background: The Unani System of Medicine (USM) considers the brain (Dimāgh) as the principal organ of Quwā Nafsāniyya (psychic faculties), responsible for sensation, cognition, memory, movement, and emotional regulation. According to Unani principles, health is maintained through equilibrium of Mizāj (temperament) and Akhlāṭ (humours), whereas disease develops when this balance is disturbed. Among neurological disorders, Sū’-i-Mizāj Māddī Dimāgh refers to pathological conditions of the brain associated with the accumulation of …

Study of Cascaded H Bridge Multilevel Inverter
Abstract: The inverters are now-a-days used broadly. Inverters are classified as two level inverters and multilevel inverters. There are too many limitations; conventional inverters at high power and high voltage applications. So, multilevel inverters become useful for high power and high voltage applications due to their increased number of levels at the output voltage. The harmonics are reduced by increasing the number of levels and output voltage has a tendency to-end-up …
