Past, Present, and Future of Historical Ecology
Abstract: Since the first half of the twentieth century, the phrase 'historical ecology' has been used with varied interpretations. Four academic disciplines have contributed to the study of historical ecology: history, ecology, geography, and anthropology. Although everyone seems to agree that historical ecology is concerned with the historical link between nature and human civilization, this field of research lacks a consistent strategy, institutional foundation, or common publication outlet. Historical ecology's history …

Polypropylene Fibres in Cementitious Composites: A Critical Review of Polymer Structure, Processing, Interfacial Behaviour and Performance
Abstract: Polypropylene (PP) fibres are widely used as secondary reinforcement in cementitious composites, yet their performance is governed as much by polymer structure and interfacial chemistry as by dosage. This review synthesises 50 primary sources (2003-2025, concentrated post-2015) to examine how PP molecular structure, fibre-manufacturing history, morphology, surface properties and environmental ageing govern fibre-matrix interaction and multiscale composite performance. Isotacticity, molecular weight, crystallinity and drawing ratio are shown to set the …

Solar Panel Maintenance and Prevention System
Abstract: Solar energy has emerged as a sustainable and efficient alternative to conventional energy sources. However, maintaining solar panels is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Accumulation of dust, dirt, and environmental debris can significantly reduce energy efficiency, leading to increased operational costs and potential system failures. To overcome this issue, we suggest an IoT- based Solar Panel Maintenance and Prevention System that facilitates automated cleaning and preventive maintenance via …

Rodents and Zoonotic Diseases: Environmental Drivers and Prevention Measures
Abstract: Among the most ubiquitous animal species, rats spread several human diseases. Found in cities, rural areas, and everywhere in between, rats have adapted remarkably well to living alongside people. Unfortunately, this close contact makes it easier for them to carry and pass on harmful germs. Their biology, fast breeding, and ability to host various bacteria, viruses, and parasites often without getting sick themselves make them especially effective at spreading disease.This …

Epigenetic Modifications in Health, Disease, and Precision Therapeutics (From Genome to Epigenome)
Abstract: Introduction: Epigenetic alterations play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in both normal physiological and disease states. These reversible modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and chromatin remodelling—are increasingly implicated in complex diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite advances in standard therapeutic approaches, patient responses remain variable, largely due to genetic heterogeneity and epigenetic dysregulation. This highlights the need for incorporating epigenetic understanding into personalized medicine. …
