Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …

A Novel Approach to Ceiling Fan-Based System for Preventing Suicide by Hanging
Abstract: Suicide by hanging has become a significant public health issue in India. According to reports from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), a considerable number of hanging cases are reported annually, with the majority being suicidal in nature. Homicidal cases disguised as hanging are extremely rare. Accurate differentiation between suicidal and homicidal hanging requires thorough examination of the crime scene in an undisturbed condition, followed by a detailed autopsy investigation. …

Application and Performance Assessment of Improved Relay Tuning Method
Abstract: The first order plus time delay (FOPTD) model was considered and the proposed improved relay tuning (PIRT) method was applied to calculate the corrected ultimate gain (Ku) and the optimum PID settings. The closed loop response was obtained using optimum values of PID parameters and compared with that of conventional relay method, Ziegler–Nichols (ZN) method and Cohen–Coon (CC) method. The integral square error as a performance index was used and …

AIS-based Anomaly Detection for IUU Fishing Activities
Abstract: The future of the Earth’s fish businesses is seriously threatened by the continuous use of illegal or illicit, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing methods, a growing global demand, and deteriorating ocean ecosystem health. The livelihoods of legal fishing are also harmed by IUU fishing. The ongoing efforts to develop sustainable fisheries policies are also hampered by this. In order to manage fishery resources and ensure the safety of maritime traffic, …
