Improving the Mechanical and Interfacial Properties of Bhendi Fiber via Chemical Surface Treatments
Abstract: Because of its primary benefits—moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and being a renewable, degradable, and ecologically friendly material—natural fibers are believed to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Due to their inherent hydrophilicity, they have a tendency to retain moisture, which can impair or soften the fibers' adhesion to the surrounding matrix. This can have an impact on the performance of composite materials used in …

Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …

Secure Forge: Deepfake Image Detection Using Vision Transformers
Abstract: Deepfake technologies have become a major risk to the credibility and trustworthiness of digital visual information. Using powerful generative models like GANs and autoencoders, deepfakes can generate highly realistic fake videos and images, resulting in misinformation, identity theft, and public loss of trust in digital media. Classic Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) while being highly effective in initial-stage, deepfake detection tend to be limited by their local receptive fields and dependency …
