Quantum-Fuzzy Tensor Operators and Uncertainty-Band Bifurcation for Symmetry-Preserving State Discrimination
Abstract: A tensor-operator framework is developed for fuzzy conjunction, fuzzy disjunction, and symmetry-preserving state discrimination in multi-qubit quantum systems. In this formulation, fuzzy membership and non-membership degrees are represented through expectations of effect operators acting on density matrices, providing a natural bridge between fuzzy logic and quantum measurement theory. Conjunction and disjunction operations are extended to the quantum domain via tensorised channels, constructed using projective measurements and unitary transformations, enabling logical …

Extent of Lingual Coarticulation: A Crosslinguistic Study Using Ultrasound Imaging
Abstract: In the recent past, Ultrasound imaging has been used extensively as a tool to measure coarticulation. The extent of coarticulation is the magnitude of distance between tongues contours of adjacent phonemes that varies based on the articulatory dynamics of each phoneme. This lack of invariance is language-specific which is related to the articulatory constraint properties of a particular language. In this context, the present study aimed to analyse the magnitude …

Firefly Algorithm–Based Optimization of Processing Parameters for Enhanced Performance of Polymer Composite Materials
Abstract: Polymer composite materials are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and oil & gas applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. However, achieving optimal mechanical and thermal performance strongly depends on precise control of processing parameters such as curing temperature, energy consumption, and material utilization. Conventional trial-and-error approaches often lead to excessive energy usage, non-uniform curing, and sub-optimal composite properties. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an …

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 …
