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 …

Predicting Dielectric Constants of Polymers Using Molecular Structural Descriptors and Explainable Machine Learning: A Data-Driven Approach
Abstract: Accurate prediction of dielectric constants in polymeric materials is fundamental to the rational design of advanced electronic components, energy storage capacitors, flexible substrates, and high-frequency communication circuits. Conventional approaches to identifying suitable polymer dielectrics rely on extensive experimental synthesis and characterisation, which are both time-consuming and resource-intensive. In this work, an explainable machine learning framework is developed to predict the dielectric constant of polymers directly from molecular structural descriptors derived …
