Microvita as a Fermi-Boson Hybrid Quantum Excitation: A Statistical Pathway Toward Unified Physics, Chemistry, and Biological Organization
Abstract: This article reformulates Microvita as a hybrid quantum excitation that interpolates continuously between fermionic and bosonic statistical behavior. A generalized operator algebra, a dynamical statistical order parameter, and a Lorentz-covariant field equation are used to frame Microvita as an effective unification scheme rather than a mere philosophical construct. The formalism predicts renormalization-group flow between infrared fermionic and ultraviolet bosonic limits, while numerical profiles suggest vacuum-energy smoothing and topological-defect suppression in …

Electrochemical Evaluation of Corrosion Behavior in Industrial Alloys Under Acidic and Marine Conditions
Abstract: Corrosion represents a spontaneous physicochemical transformation in which metals revert to their more stable thermodynamic state, typically oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides, as a result of interaction with environmental elements. Rather than being a simple surface reaction, corrosion is a complex electrochemical phenomenon that significantly influences the durability, reliability, and performance of metallic structures across industrial, marine, and domestic sectors. The consequences extend beyond material degradation, contributing to substantial economic losses, …

E-Commerce Clothing Platform with Virtual Try-On
Abstract: The inability to physically evaluate garments remains a major limitation in online clothing commerce. Customers often depend on static product images and generalized sizing charts, which do not accurately represent individual body proportions. This frequently leads to uncertainty during purchase decisions and increased product return rates. To address this limitation, this research proposes a web-based clothing e-commerce platform integrated with an intelligent virtual try-on mechanism. The system allows users to …

Comparison of Models of Machine Learning and Hyperparameter optimization methods on various datasets
Abstract: The most likely phase in achieving powerful and robust machine learning models is probably the hyperparameters tuning step. The traditional exhaustive methods of search (Grid Search and others) ensure that the search space is covered, but are computationally very inexpensive; random search is less expensive and can still miss good regions; and lastly, the modern model-based and population-based methods (Bayesian Optimization, Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE), Genetic Algorithms) are thought to …
