Oceanmind Systems: AI-Driven Marine Life Intelligence for Climate Prediction and Ocean Ecosystem Stability
Abstract: Oceans regulate global climate systems, support biodiversity, and serve as critical carbon sinks, yet they remain under-monitored relative to their ecological importance. Traditional oceanographic methods rely heavily on satellite sensing, buoy networks, and periodic marine surveys, which often fail to capture real-time biological dynamics at micro-ecosystem levels. This paper introduces OceanMind Systems, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven marine intelligence framework that integrates marine life behavior, oceanographic data, and computational modeling to …

Entomo-Analytics: Insect Behavioral Intelligence for Climate-Smart Environmental Monitoring Systems
Abstract: Rapid environmental change driven by climate variability, urbanization, and ecological degradation has intensified the need for innovative monitoring systems capable of providing real-time ecological intelligence. Traditional environmental monitoring methods often rely on satellite imaging and stationary sensors, which may lack fine-scale biological sensitivity. In contrast, insects—due to their abundance, ecological diversity, and rapid responsiveness to environmental shifts—offer a powerful yet underutilized source of bio-sensing data. This paper introduces the concept …

A Critical Review of the Limitations of the Arithmetic Mean and the Robustness of the Median in Statistical Analysis
Abstract: Arithmetic mean is an extremely popular measure of central tendency used in statistical analyses, primarily because it is so easy to calculate and has many positive mathematical characteristics. However, when there are outliers, skewed distributions or heterogeneous spread of data, the reliability of the arithmetic mean diminishes greatly. This paper includes a critical review of the limitations of the arithmetic mean and an assessment of the robustness of the median …

Role of Clay Liners in Municipal Solid Waste Landfills: A Review
Abstract: Rapid population growth has significantly increased the generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in urban and suburban regions. Disposal of MSW in landfills without proper liner systems may lead to leachate migration and subsequent contamination of groundwater and surrounding soils. The use of liner systems at the base of landfills is therefore essential to minimize leachate percolation and protect the environment. Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and compacted clay liners (CCLs) …

A Generative AI Paradigm for a Global Crisis: Redesigning the Sanitary Pad Polymer Lifecycle for Environmental and Public Health in India
Abstract: The sale of disposable sanitary pads, most of which contain non-biodegradable polymers, especially polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and superabsorbent polyacrylates (SAPs), has led to a souring environmental and population health crisis, especially in India. A linear economic approach of take-make-dispose has resulted in the exponential growth of polymer waste that fully blocks drains, leads to microplastic pollution, and overloads insufficient waste management facilities. Traditional polymers are designed to be permanent …

Veterinary Immunology in Zoonotic Disease Control
Abstract: Zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible between animals and humans, pose a significant threat to global public health, food security, and economic stability. Veterinary immunology plays a pivotal role in understanding host–pathogen interactions, developing preventive strategies, and mitigating the impact of these diseases. Animals serve as reservoirs for a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, which can persist asymptomatically or cause clinical disease. Understanding the immune mechanisms in both …
