Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Exploring the Role of Small Dense LDL-C and Paraoxonase-I Activity in Lipid Profile Alterations in Postmenopausal Women: Evidence from a Population-Based Study in Punjab, India
Abstract: Background: After menopause, women face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) because hormonal changes impact how their bodies process fats. This study aimed to explore the relationship between small dense LDL cholesterol (sdLDL-C), lipid profile, PON1 levels, thyroid function, CBC parameters, and cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women (45–60 years) in Punjab, India. sdLDL-C is more atherogenic than larger LDL particles, while PON1, linked to HDL, offers heart protection. Thyroid …
