Review of the Effect of Imine, Azo, and Formazan Compounds on the Cell Membrane of Bacteria, Fungi, and Their Inhibition of Activity
Abstract: The role of antibiotics is to reduce the resistance of bacterial and fungal cell membranes, thereby penetrating the cell membrane and causing bacterial death. Therefore, researchers have turned to preparing chemical compounds that mimic antibiotics in their ability to eliminate bacteria and microorganisms. Through ongoing research in the field of biological activity, recent decades have witnessed a significant increase in laboratory experiments involving imines, formazan, and other compounds in this …

Effects of Halloysite Nano particle Reinforcement of Epoxy Composite Using a Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A Prepared by Ultrasonication Casting
Abstract: This study explores a simple and operative approach for developing stronger epoxy-based composite materials by incorporating halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The composites were made-up through hydraulic compression casting, combining ultrasonic mixing with applied pressure to produce consolidated composite sheets. HNTs were added to the epoxy resin at concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 wt.% at approximately 60°C, and the subsequent composites were examined to understand their internal structure, nanotube dispersion, and …

Trauma of Survival and the Politics of Memory in Emile Habiby's The Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist
Abstract: Emile Habiby’s the Secret Life of Saeed: The Pessoptimist (1974) presents one of the most innovative and politically complex literary responses to the Palestinian Nakba and its enduring consequences. Through a distinctive fusion of satire, irony, absurdity, political allegory, and fragmented narration, Habiby departs from conventional representations of trauma and resistance. Rather than portraying Palestinian survival as a heroic or triumphant process of recovery, the novel presents survival as an …

Semantic Similarity Framework for Automatic Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models
Abstract: Large Language Models can generate fluent, contextually appropriate text across a range of NLP tasks, but they frequently produce outputs that are factually wrong while sounding confident and plausible. This problem, referred to as hallucination, poses serious risks in domains where accuracy matters. We propose a post-processing framework that detects hallucinated responses by comparing them against verified reference text using sentence embeddings. The system computes cosine similarity between the response …

Font-Based Text Steganography for Covert Communication in Devanagari Script: A Review (2020–2026)
Abstract: Steganography hides the fact that a communication exists rather than merely safeguarding its content. Text is the most challenging of all steganographic media because it contains the least redundancy and is the most sensitive to changes. Devanagari script, with its conjunct consonants, ligatures, matras, and non-linear glyph construction, makes these difficulties even harder, rendering rendering-dependent and OCR- based steganographic methods largely ineffective. This paper presents a systematic review of text …

Machine Learning-Based Structure–Property Quantification of Advanced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Advanced polymer composites are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their superior mechanical and multifunctional properties. Accurate structure–property quantification is essential for efficient material design and reducing experimental costs. Existing Machine Learning (ML) approaches often exhibit limited predictive generalization due to inadequate feature discrimination and suboptimal hyperparameter tuning. To address these limitations, the proposed method enhances the ability to capture the complex nonlinear interactions among composite structural descriptors. The …

Integration of Green-Synthesized Calcium Nanoparticles in Natural Polymer Matrices by Bio-Nanocomposite Approach to Calcium Fortification
Abstract: Calcium deficiency continues to pose a widespread nutritional challenge, particularly in vulnerable populations. In this study, a bio-nanocomposite-based fortification strategy was developed using calcium nanoparticles (CaNPs) synthesized via green chemistry from Sesbania grandiflora (Agathi keerai) leaf extract. The nanoparticles, ranging between 50–150 nm in size, were characterized by SEM and embedded into buckwheat flour a naturally polymer-rich food matrix containing proteins, starch, and dietary fibers. The resulting system mimicked polymer …

Fundamentals and Recent Advances in Microreactor Catalysis and Flow Chemistry
Abstract: The processing technology of chemical reactions has changed quite a bit over the last few decades. For a long time, chemists relied on batch reactors having large containers where all the starting materials are mixed, and the reaction happens in one go. While this approach works, it has several drawbacks: poor heat control, uneven mixing, safety risks, and a lot of waste. Microreactors and flow chemistry offer a much better …

AI-Assisted Kinetic Modeling of PLA Hydrolysis Under Subcritical Water Conditions for Sustainable Polymer Recycling
Abstract: The accumulation of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) in terrestrial and marine ecosystems has intensified the demand for closed-loop, green recycling technologies. Subcritical water (SCW) hydrolysis offers a promising, catalyst-free pathway for the rapid depolymerization of PLA into its constituent monomer, lactic acid. However, the complex, highly non-linear kinetics governing macro-molecular degradation under variable hydrothermal conditions limit real-time process optimization and industrial scalability. This study develops a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted …
