Long non-coded RNA, cancer, immune cells, tumor micro-environment, immuno-oncology, immune escape, cancer-immune cycle, lncRNA signature
Abstract: Developing data from current research reveals fresh insights into the roles played by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in immuno-oncology. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) not only influence the aggressiveness of cancer cells but also play a crucial role in controlling different immune cells and stromal cells, which in turn changes the tumor micro-environment and impacts anti-tumor immunity. The significance of predictive indicators derived from long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is underscored by …

Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) in Normal Adolescents
Abstract: tDCS is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique in which a mild electrical direct current is applied through the scalp to send electrical impulses to the brain to increase or decrease the excitability in the neurons. Weak transcranial direct current stimulation can induce long lasting changes in cortical excitability. The electrodiagnostic approaches like Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP), Somato Sensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) and electromyography are used to measure the effect of …

The Ethics and Implications of Brain–Computer Interfaces: Enhancing Human Abilities and Redefining Privacy
Abstract: This study addresses the ethical considerations and social implications of brain–computer interface (BCI) development and integration. BCI, sometimes called a brain-machine interface (BMI) or smart brain, is a direct communication path between the brain and electrical activity and an external device, usually a computer or robotic limb. BCIs are often directed towards researching, mapping, assisting, improving, or correcting human cognitive or sensorimotor functions. The implementation of BCIs varies from non-invasive …

A Threshold-Weighted Mathematical Fusion Model for Epidemic Outbreak Prediction Using SEIR Residual Dynamics and Cloud-Based Machine Learning
Abstract: Accurate prediction of epidemic outbreaks is critical for effective public health management, resource planning, early warning generation, and timely intervention by municipal authorities. Traditional compartmental models such as Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious–Recovered (SEIR) offer valuable epidemiological insights and mathematical interpretability; however, they may not adequately capture the complex nonlinear relationships present in real-world urban health systems. Conversely, data-driven machine learning techniques can identify hidden patterns in large datasets but often lack epidemiological structure …

Flame Spraying of Polymer-Abrasive Composites
Abstract: Polymer-based abrasive tools are distinguished by higher elasticity and resistance to chemically active media compared to tools with metal and ceramic binders. The former are effective at processing complex-profile and non-rigid surfaces. Tools based on coatings containing abrasive phenol- formaldehyde/epoxy resins and vulcanites are characterized by high cost and toxicity. In this paper, a study of composite flame-sprayed coatings, consisting of thermoplastic polymers and silicon carbide (volume ratio of 50-50), …

Machine-Learning-Assisted Development of Polymer-Biochar Composite Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Gomti River Water
Abstract: Rapid urbanization, industrial discharge, and agricultural runoff pose a significant threat to freshwater sustainability and public health. Within these ecosystems, polymer pollutants—such as microplastics, nanoplastics, synthetic fibres, and additive residues—have emerged as persistent vectors capable of adsorbing and transporting toxic heavy metals. Because these polymeric contaminants dynamically interact with conventional aquatic parameters to alter pollutant mobility and ecological risk profiles, there is an urgent need to transition from passive environmental …

Steam Activated Carbon Material from the Fruit Shells of Sterculia foetida for Energy and Environmental Applications
Abstract: Steam activation of the biochar from Sterculia foetida forms a green route for the synthesis of activated carbon material with high specific surface area (1017 m2/g). The corresponding value with a chemical activating agent (K2CO3) is much lower (596 m2/g). Structural parameters of the activated carbon materials were deduced from XRD studies. Moreover the thermal stability of the activated carbon materials from steam activation is nearly 100°C higher than that …

Thermal Effects in High-Power Laser Systems: Modeling and Mitigation
Abstract: High-power laser systems are increasingly employed in industrial manufacturing, defense, medical procedures, and scientific research due to their ability to deliver high energy density with excellent spatial coherence. However, the performance and reliability of these systems are significantly influenced by thermal effects arising from optical absorption, non-radiative recombination, and inefficient heat dissipation within laser gain media and optical components. These thermal phenomena lead to adverse effects such as thermal lensing, …
