QSAR Modeling Techniques A Comprehensive Review of Tools and Best Practices
Abstract: Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling has become an essential tool in drug discovery, toxicity assessment, and environmental chemistry. By correlating chemical structure with biological activity or toxicity, QSAR enables the prediction of compound behavior without extensive experimental testing. This approach not only saves time and resources but also supports ethical practices by reducing reliance on animal studies. The evolution of QSAR from basic linear models to advanced machine learning and …

Non-Contact Quantification of Swelling-Induced Deformation in Polymer Hydrogels Using Image Analysis
Abstract: Swelling of polymer hydrogels governs transport, mechanics, and functional performance in biomedical systems, yet it is often reported using bulk ratios that conceal spatially heterogeneous deformation and boundary-driven instabilities. This study presents a non-contact image-analysis framework to quantify swelling-induced deformation by tracking shape and boundary evolution from time-lapse imaging. The approach segments the hydrogel region, extracts a sub-pixel refined contour, and computes boundary displacement descriptors including mean and upper-percentile normal …
