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 …

Diet-Driven Enhancement of Immune Resilience, Disease Resistance, and Performance: Mechanistic Insights, Nutritional Interventions, and Implications for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: This review synthesizes current knowledge on how dietary strategies can strengthen immune resilience, improve disease resistance, and enhance productive performance in dairy systems while advancing sustainable development. Immune function in dairy cattle is profoundly influenced by nutrition, with energy, protein, essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds playing critical roles in shaping both innate and adaptive immune responses. Suboptimal nutrition impairs immune competence, increases susceptibility to infectious …

Integrative Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Resistance and Autoimmune Disease: Evidence and Pathways
Abstract: Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is accelerating globally, while autoimmune diseases and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) continue to rise. Ayurveda offers immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, and detoxification‑oriented interventions that may complement biomedical strategies. Objective: To propose a hypothesis‑driven integrative model combining Ayurvedic phytotherapy, panchakarma detoxification, and personalized dosha‑based care with evidence‑based medical management to mitigate AMR emergence, modulate autoimmunity, and reduce ADR incidence. Methods: A synthesis of mechanistic literature on Ayurvedic herbs with …

Sensory Psychology of Supergrain Bakery: Consumer Perception Beyond Taste
Abstract: Bakery products remain a cornerstone of diets worldwide, yet wheat-based formulations are increasingly supplemented or replaced as consumers demand healthier, more functional alternatives. Supergrains such as quinoa, amaranth, millet, and cowpea, together with fruit-based flours such as guava flour, have been extensively investigated to enrich wheat-based products and improve their nutritional value. At the same time, the science of sensory psychology has become central to product acceptance, as taste, aroma, …

Graphene Based Electronic Skin for Wearable Health Monitoring and Human– review on Machine Interaction, Materials, Structures and AI Integration
Abstract: Graphene-based electronic skin (e-skin) has emerged as a transformative technology for next-generation wearable health monitoring and advanced human–machine interaction (HMI). Owing to its outstanding electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, atomic-scale thickness, and biocompatibility, graphene enables the fabrication of ultrathin, conformal, and multifunctional sensors capable of mimicking the sensory functions of natural human skin. Over the past decade, research in this domain has progressed rapidly across four interconnected fronts: material synthesis and …

DEVELOPMENT OF POLYMERSOMES AS MACROMOLECULAR PLATFORMS FOR NANOMEDICINE
Abstract: The conventional method of drug delivery is plagued with instability, low targeting and low bioavailability. A solution to these shortcomings is the use of polymer Somes, artificial vesicles that are produced through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymer, and they are suggested as universal nanoscale carriers. They have stiff, tunable membranes (thickness = 2-50 nm) due to accurate control of polymer chemistry, chain length, and hydrophilic mass fraction (f), which allows …

Structural, Optical, Surface and Gas-Sensing Properties of rGO/Sn1-xZnxO₂ Nanocomposites
Abstract: rGO/Sn₁₋ₓZnₓO₂ nanocomposites with x = 0.00–0.75 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion followed by wet impregnation with reduced graphene oxide. The adopted synthesis route enabled homogeneous Zn incorporation into the SnO₂ matrix and uniform distribution of rGO, leading to improved structural integrity and interfacial contact between the two components. XRD confirmed a dominant tetragonal cassiterite SnO₂ structure, while FTIR, FESEM, EDS, UV–visible, and BET analyses verified oxide–rGO coupling, Zn-dependent structural modification, …
