Rumen Microbial Adaptation to Dietary Shifts: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Implications for Sustainable Ruminant Production
Abstract: Rumen microbiota play a central role in the digestion and fermentation of dietary components, directly influencing the health and productivity of ruminants. Dietary shifts, such as transitioning from forage-based diets to concentrate-rich diets or incorporating feed additives, induce significant changes in the composition, structure, and functional dynamics of the rumen microbial community. These adaptations, while essential for maintaining microbial homeostasis, can also lead to transient imbalances, including risks of acidosis, …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …

An Overview on VLSI based Hardware Security in IoT Node
Abstract: In the coming era, security will not be a feature we add to an IoT device; it will be a property inherent to its transistor-level design. By encoding security into the VLSI architecture, we move away from the fragile "software-only" paradigm and toward a future where the identity of the device is as immutable as the laws of physics. The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has transformed …

Muscle vs. Heart: A Comprehensive Review of Anabolic Steroid-Induced Cardiovascular Risks
Abstract: Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are widely used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance muscle mass and performance. However, their misuse is associated with serious and often underrecognized cardiovascular risks. Despite their popularity, particularly among young adults, the long-term consequences of AAS abuse on cardiovascular health remain insufficiently explored in the literature. This review aims to: 1. Analyze the cardiovascular implications of AAS use. 2. Elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms contributing …

Molecular Surveillance of Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV) and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) Across Major Aquaculture Zones of Telangana, India
Abstract: Viral diseases represent a persistent threat to cyprinid aquaculture; however, region-specific surveillance data from tropical production systems remain limited. To address this gap, a comprehensive statewide active surveillance programme was undertaken across Telangana, India, from 2019 to 2022 to investigate the occurrence of two priority transboundary pathogens, Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV) and Koi Herpesvirus (KHV). A total of 414 fish specimens were systematically collected from five surveillance sectors …

A Threshold-Weighted Mathematical Fusion Model for Epidemic Outbreak Prediction Using SEIR Residual Dynamics and Cloud-Based Machine Learning
Abstract: Accurate prediction of epidemic outbreaks is critical for effective public health management, resource planning, early warning generation, and timely intervention by municipal authorities. Traditional compartmental models such as Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious–Recovered (SEIR) offer valuable epidemiological insights and mathematical interpretability; however, they may not adequately capture the complex nonlinear relationships present in real-world urban health systems. Conversely, data-driven machine learning techniques can identify hidden patterns in large datasets but often lack epidemiological structure …
