Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Assessing the Efficacy of Carica Papaya Leaf Extract in Preventing Thrombocytopenia: A Review
Abstract: A clinical condition known as thrombocytopenia is characterized by a low platelet count (less than 150 × 103/μL) in the blood, which leads to an imbalance in hemostasis and can result in multiple deadly consequences. Although the exact causes are not always known, they always lead to death by interfering with the formation of platelets and encouraging their destruction. Research demonstrates that Carica papaya leaf has special medicinal and therapeutic …

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 …
