ML-Enhanced Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites with Embedded IoT Sensors for Damage Prediction
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used in aerospace and structural systems; nevertheless, the potential for microcracking and fatigue-induced performance degradation remains an obstacle with respect to improved service life. Traditional self-healing methods, while performing well on a chemical level, often lack real-time diagnostic awareness and adaptive control. To circumvent this, we developed a machine-learning augmented self-healing FRP composite, in which a DCPD–Grubbs catalytic matrix was combined with IoT sensor …

Vitamin D Mitigates Inflammation and Downregulates Importin α3 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects about one-third of the population in the United States and Western countries, reaching up to 90% among obese individuals and those undergoing bariatric surgery. Characterized by hepatic fat accumulation, NAFLD progresses from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and, in rare cases, hepatocellular carcinoma. Linked intricately with metabolic syndrome, including diabetes and obesity, NAFLD development involves insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Experimental evidence consistently …

Random Forrest Based Man-in-the-Middle Attack Detection in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Abstract: Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) plays a central role in the operation of modern smart grid (SG) systems by enabling continuous, two-way communication between utility providers and consumers. Through this communication, AMI supports real-time monitoring, dynamic pricing, and efficient energy management. However, the same connectivity that makes AMI effective also increases its exposure to cyber threats. One of the most critical threats is the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, in which an attacker …
