Advancing EEG Technology for Affordable and Effective Epilepsy Detection
Abstract: For a proper diagnosis and prompt treatment, epilepsy, a neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, needs to be continuously monitored. Manual interpretation is frequently used in traditional approaches for identifying epileptic seizures from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which can be laborious and error-prone. In this research, a novel method for automatically detecting epilepsy from EEG data using deep learning algorithms is presented. According to centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) …

HPV and Cardiovascular Risk: Unpacking a Novel Link Between Viral Infection and Heart Disease
Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is best known for its oncogenic potential, yet a growing body of evidence suggests that persistent HPV infection may also contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In 2025, pooled analyses and conference reports galvanized attention by estimating that HPV‐positive individuals have ~40% higher risk of CVD and approximately double the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) compared with HPV‐negative peers, even after adjustment for traditional risk factors. These …

Structure–Property Modeling of Cement-Based Multi-Component Composites Using Ensemble Machine Learning and Explainable Feature Attribution
Abstract: Accurate prediction of compressive strength is central to structure–property optimization, quality control, and sustainability-driven design in cement-based composite materials. Cementitious systems represent heterogeneous multi-phase composites composed of reactive binder matrices and dispersed aggregate phases, whose macroscopic mechanical performance emerges from complex nonlinear interactions among constituents and curing-dependent microstructural evolution. This study develops a data-driven structure–property modeling framework to quantify the nonlinear dependence of compressive strength on multi-component composite composition and …

Electrical Measurements on La-modified Four-Layered Aurivillius Ceramics
Abstract: Bismuth layered structure ferroelectric (BLSF) of Aurivillius family is found to be attractive owing to its scientific and technological point of view. These materials have potential ferroelectric applications owing to the fact of its high Curie temperature, high temperature piezo-devise and ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM), applications. In addition, Bi-modified compounds have shown improved ferroelectric properties. However, the plausible reason for improving ferroelectric properties in Bi-modified is still unclear. The …

Randomized Latent Vectors for Enhanced Reinforcement Learning Exploration
Abstract: This paper investigates Random Latent Exploration (RLE), a novel reinforcement learning technique that enhances exploration using randomized latent vector conditioning. I evaluate RLE’s performance across various environments, including discrete control tasks (FourRoom), continuous control (IsaacLab), and complex visual domains (Atari games). The core approach augments traditional reward functions with intrinsic rewards, calculated as the dot product between state features and periodically resampled latent vectors. The policy and value networks are …

Alzheimer’s Disease Detection Using ML Algorithm
Abstract: A degenerative neurological state of affairs, Alzheimer's disease (AD) gradually impairs cognitive and functional capacities, especially in people over 65. Early AD detection is crucial for efficient management and treatment prep. This study delves into novel approaches for the early detection of AD using non-invasive methods. We've implemented a blend of neuroimaging data analysis and machine learning algorithms to pinpoint markers indicative of the disease during its initial phases. Our …
