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, …

Crystal Defects and Their Characterization in Modern Materials Science
Abstract: The physical and chemical properties of crystalline solids are fundamentally dictated by deviations from structural perfection, known as crystal defects. From the point-scale vacancies that drive diffusion to the planar boundaries that determine mechanical strength, defects serve as the primary "tuning knobs" in material design. This review provides a comprehensive examination of point, line, and planar defects, exploring their formation energetics and their role in plastic deformation via crystallographic slip. …

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, …

Revolutionary Journey of Herbal Shampoo for Multiple Cosmetic Applications :- An Imperative Review
Abstract: Dandruff is a common scalp ailment caused by the yeast Pityrosporum that affects the majority of people. The condition of dandruff cannot be entirely removed; rather, it can only be efficiently managed and maintained. The three most typical signs of dandruff are particles on the scalp, scalp itching, and redness near the scalp. There are two approaches to treating dandruff. These anti- dandruff shampoos include chemical-based anti-dandruff shampoos and herbal-based …

Image Preprocessing and Analysis on Eye Fundus Images Segmentation by Using Density Clustering Methods
Abstract: In order to do an automated evaluation of various retinal illnesses such as Diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma, and Macular Edema, fundus images must be pre-processed first. For many reasons, it's difficult to accurately detect the optic disc. Many blood vessels cross the optic disc, making it difficult to discern the disc's boundaries in fundus images. Lesion regions in diabetic retinopathy look very much like an optic disc's colour and texture, so …
