Physics-Adaptive Digital Twin with Neural-Operator Reduced-Order Modelling
Abstract: This study proposes a novel Physics-Adaptive Digital Twin with Neural-Operator Reduced-Order Modelling (PADT-NO) framework for predictive modelling of complex, nonlinear, and multiscale fluid flows. The proposed mathematical framework integrates fundamental conservation laws, Navier–Stokes dynamics, physics-constrained neural operators, adaptive reduced-order modelling, and uncertainty-aware state estimation within a unified computational architecture. Unlike conventional computational fluid dynamics and purely data-driven approaches, the proposed model dynamically couples high-fidelity physical information with a low-dimensional latent …

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Early Exercise on Post-Surgical Recovery Among Patients Undergone Cardiac Bypass Surgery at Selected Cardiac Hospitals
Abstract: Postoperative recovery following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is often prolonged due to pain, reduced mobility, respiratory complications, and psychological distress. Early mobilization has been increasingly recommended as a supportive intervention to enhance recovery outcomes. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of early exercise on post-surgical recovery among patients who underwent cardiac bypass surgery at a selected cardiac hospital. A quantitative, quasi-experimental design was adopted for the …

Reliability-Aware Mathematical Model for Radiation-Hardened Satellite Communication Systems
Abstract: Satellite communication systems operate in radiation environments in which total ionizing dose (TID), displacement damage, and single-event effects (SEE) can progressively degrade electronic, optoelectronic, and communication components and can ultimately reduce link availability and mission reliability. This paper develops a Reliability-Aware Radiation-Hardened Satellite Communication Model (R-RHSCM) that mathematically couples the orbital radiation environment, accumulated radiation dose, component degradation, communication-link performance, single-event failure probability, redundancy, thermal effects, and adaptive mitigation.

Whey Valorization in the Dairy Industry: Emerging Technologies and Value-Added Applications
Abstract: Whey is a major by-product of the dairy industry generated during the manufacture of cheese, casein, and other dairy products. Despite being traditionally considered a waste stream, whey contains valuable nutrients, particularly high-quality proteins, lactose, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds, making it an important resource for sustainable food production. Improper disposal of untreated whey can create significant environmental concerns because of its high organic load. Whey valorization, therefore, provides an …

CRISPR-Based Enhancement of Secondary Metabolites in Artemisia annua: Focus on Artemisinin Biosynthesis
Abstract: Medicinal plants are natural biofactories producing secondary metabolites with significant therapeutic value, including terpenoids, alkaloids, and phenolics. Among these, artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone from Artemisia annua L. is the cornerstone of global antimalarial therapy along with additional anticancer, antiviral, and antimicrobial activities. However, artemisinin content in the native plants is inherently low (typically 0.01–0.8% dry weight), restricting affordable and consistent supply. Conventional approaches to increase production include classical breeding, singlegene …
