Group-Theoretic Symmetry Indices for Modular Building Layouts under Seismic Load Redistribution
Abstract: Symmetry in modular buildings operates simultaneously as an architectural language, a structural regularizer, and a computational design variable. This paper develops a group-theoretic framework for evaluating and optimizing plan symmetry in modular buildings subjected to seismic load redistribution. The building layout is modeled as a finite occupancy–stiffness field defined on a rectangular lattice, where each module encodes both mass and stiffness contributions. Planar reflections and quarter-turn rotations are represented as …

Modulation in CRI Due to Solar-Interplanetary Causes during 1996–2018
Abstract: AbstractSolar outputs and their variations are responsible to produce modulation in cosmic ray intensity (CRI) both on short-term as well as on long–term basis. It is seen that sunspot number; 10.7 cm sun oriented radio transition, coronal mass launches (CMEs) and sunlight based flares are the causal connect to sun oriented movement (SA). In addition, coronal mass discharges are related with an assortment of interplanetary plasma and field aggravations. In …

Effects of a Unani Polyherbal Formulation, Itrifal Mulayyan, on First and Second Degree Internal Haemorrhoids
Abstract: Background: Haemorrhoids are dilatation and tortuosity of anorectal vessels. Haemorrhoids above dentate line are called internal haemorrhoids and those below are called external haemorrhoids. These are caused mainly due to constipation. In 1st degree haemorrhoids, there is bleeding per rectum; in 2nd degree haemorrhoids along with bleeding there is prolapse of pile mass which reduces spontaneously. First- and second-degree haemorrhoids are the initial stages of internal haemorrhoids. If treatment is …

Structure–Property-Guided Polymer–Metal Hybrid Design of a Wall Plastering Spray Assembly
Abstract: Wall plastering spray equipment requires a combination of low mass, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility with cementitious mortar, and comfortable operator interaction. The original assembly was primarily developed as a metallic mechanical system; however, a polymer-focused material architecture can reduce non-load-bearing mass while retaining a safe metallic pressure path. This study, therefore, presents a structure–property-guided polymer–metal hybrid design in which the pressure housing and nozzle insert remain metallic, whereas …
