DFT/Data Guided Predictive Modelling of Absorption Maxima in the OLED Rubrene Derivatives
Abstract: This study investigates the optical properties of rubrene derivatives to develop an accurate predictive model for absorption maxima using computational chemistry and chemoinformatic techniques. We benchmarked various quantum chemical methods, identifying that the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ method in dichloromethane (DCM) provided the strongest correlation with experimental data. Key molecular descriptors such as band gap, ionization potential, and electrophilicity index were calculated and analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) to identify significant factors …

Effect of Skin Barrier Damage on Absorption and Action of Cosmeceuticals
Abstract: The skin acts as a primary defensive barrier protecting the human body against environmental aggressors, microbial invasion, and chemical exposure. The integrity of the skin barrier, particularly the stratum corneum, plays a crucial role in regulating the permeation of substances applied topically. Cosmeceuticals, a hybrid category between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are designed to deliver biologically active ingredients into the skin to exert therapeutic or beneficial effects. However, the condition of …

IoT-Based Battery Health Monitoring for Electric Vehicles Using Machine Learning
Abstract: With increasing utilization of the Electric Vehicles (EV)s in global scale, battery health management becomes a critical factor which has great impact on vehicle performance, safety and longevity. Battery materials, such as NMC LFP lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries, degrade over time from charging behaviour, heat stress, discharging voltage profiles and environmental limits. Conventional BMS only offer threshold based health diagnostics and cannot perform accurate degradation prediction. This work presents …

Contextualising health-disaster risk reduction pillars for under-resourced rural secondary schools in Limpopo Province, South Africa
Abstract: School communities in under-resourced rural settings face a disproportionate burden of health-related disasters, including outbreaks, water and sanitation failures, food insecurity and compound events that disrupt learning and wellbeing. Yet school based disaster risk reduction (DRR) evidence in Southern Africa is uneven with limited empirically guidance tailored to the organisational and infrastructural realities of disadvantaged schools. Drawing on the Comprehensive School Safety Framework and the World Health Organization's Health Emergency …

An Auxiliary Array Indexing Approach for Efficient Binary Search in Linked Lists
Abstract: The paper covers an algorithm for searching a linked list structure using binary search. Binary search is a classic example of an algorithm that follows the divide-and-conquer approach. Binary search may be used to find elements in an array. Trying to apply the conventional binary search to a linked list simply does not work out very well; it still has an O(n) time complexity, the same as linear search. This …

Learning Data Structures: Key to Good Programming
Abstract: Data structures are the most crucial feature of good programming and are needed to solve hard computational problems. This model makes use of two different recurrent neural network architectures, specifically long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks. It explains how selecting and using the correct data structures may speed up computations, optimize memory, and scale code. How data structures and algorithms relate and how to think about …
