Unified Mass–Energy Dissolution Cosmology (UMEDC): A Staged Framework for Cosmic Energy Transformation and Late-Time Acceleration
Abstract: The ΛCDM model successfully describes the universe’s expansion but remains fundamentally descriptive: it assigns fixed densities to matter, dark matter, and dark energy without providing a unifying physical mechanism behind their coexistence or evolution. In this work, we introduce the Unified Mass–Energy Dissolution Cosmology (UMEDC), a novel framework based on the staged transformation M → DM → DE, where ordinary matter gradually dissolves into a dark-matter-like reservoir, which subsequently transforms …

Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …
