Lexical semantic activation in persons with Aphasia
Abstract: Lexical semantic activation (LSA) is defined as retrieval of the most appropriate word from the lexicon. LSA is accomplished through three steps, conceptual activation, lexical node activation and phoneme retrieval and can be tested through a variety of tasks including priming task. LSA is found to be defective in persons with aphasia; it can be manifested as storage deficit or access deficit. Storage deficit is a condition where there is …

Noise-Resilient QPSK Modem for Reliable Communication for Green Communication
Abstract: The channel noise is the severely degraded the performance of communication system and that also limits the maximum data transmission rate. Hence, it is required to design a demodulator in a receiver which overcomes the effect of noise in the received signal, reconstructs un-corrupted information signal and improves data rate. In QPSK, noise effect the phase of the modulated signal and that causes error in the information signal. This study …

The Role of Surface Treatments on Mechanical and Interfacial Shear Strength of Pineapple Leaf Fibers
Abstract: Natural fibers are seen as having potential application as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials due to their main advantages, which include moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and being an environmentally beneficial, degradable, and renewable material. They are susceptible to absorbing moisture because of their innate hydrophilicity, which can weaken or plasticize the adherence of the fibers to the surrounding matrix and impact the performance of composite materials employed …

Agricultural Waste-Derived Nanocellulose Composites in Pharmaceutical Packaging: Barrier Performance, Regulatory Considerations and Translational Gaps
Abstract: Pharmaceutical primary packaging is dominated by poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly (vinylidene chloride) laminates and cold-form aluminium, chosen for barrier performance rather than end-of-life behaviour. Nanocellulose from agricultural residues is widely proposed as a renewable alternative, but almost the entire evidence base has been generated against food-packaging requirements. This review re-examines that literature through a pharmaceutical lens. A search of three bibliographic databases covering 2010–2026, supplemented by Google Scholar and …
