Histoplasma capsulatum (Dimorphic Fungus) in India: Biological Features, Virulence Mechanisms, and Clinical Implications of Histoplasmosis.
Abstract: Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Infection is acquired primarily by inhalation of infectious microconidia and may range from asymptomatic infection to severe disseminated disease. Although histoplasmosis has classically been associated with the river valleys of the Americas, it is being increasingly recognized in Asia, including India, where it frequently mimics tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, lymphoma, and leprosy, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. Cutaneous …

Autonomous Agentic AI for Adaptive Cure Optimization and Defect Prevention in Thermoset Polymer Composite Manufacturing
Abstract: Thermoset polymer composites occupy a central position in modern structural manufacturing, from aircraft fuselages to wind-turbine blades. Despite progress in resin chemistry and fiber architecture, the “cure process” that transforms compliant preforms into load-bearing structures remains difficult to manage. Manufacturers encounter ‘voids’, “interlaminar delaminations”, and “spring-back distortion” when curing complex or thick-section parts. The cause is not ignorance of the relevant physics, but rather that ‘temperature’, ‘chemistry’, ‘rheology’, and ‘mechanics’ …

Mechanical Performance Evaluation of Brachyuran Shell Particle-Infused S-Glass Fibre Epoxy Polymer Composites
Abstract: Epoxy composites bio-filled with brachyuran crab shell powder and reinforced with S-glass fibres at different loadings (2%, 4%, and 6%) are tested for their mechanical properties in this work. Using modest amounts of filler significantly improved hardness, ultimate tensile strength, and flexural strength in the empirical data. The largest increase in hardness was 64.42% at 4% filler, up from 26.22% at 2%; however, there was a dramatic decrease to 13.11% …

The Architecture of Creek Road Market and the Image of Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Marketplaces are seen as centers of attraction in every city. Therefore, the architecture of marketplaces should be given extensive attention to attract a positive image of the city. If the architecture of a market lacks functionality, it will affect the perception of the city. Often, market designers ignore the key users of the market space and focus on providing profit-oriented spaces. This leads to the spillover of trading activities by …

AI-Driven Prediction of Mechanical and Thermal Properties in Polymer-Based Functionally Graded Composites
Abstract: The proposed architecture of the current paper is an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven model of forecasting mechanical and thermal aspects of polymer-based functionally-graded composites (FGCs). Traditional micromechanical and finite element models, which are practical in homogeneous composites, might not be able to account in nonlinear interaction that is caused by compositional gradient. To overcome the challenge, machine learning (ML) models like artificial neural network (ANN), support vectors regression (SVR), and gradient-boosted …
