Analysis of Pull-in Voltage with Respect to Changes in Dielectric Material and their Thickness
Abstract: Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) actuators experience pull-in effect in their actuation range. MEMS actuating elements are thin parallel plate capacitor electrodes separated with air gap. Parallel plate electrostatic micro actuators are known to have the pull-in effect, where electrostatic attractive force exceeds the mechanical restoring force of the suspending spring, and that the movable plate spontaneously pulled into physical contact with the opposite electrode. In our model the effect of …

Nuclear Reactor Safety Using Seismic and Natural Disaster Protection: A Study
Abstract: Nuclear energy has enormous power and is essential to the global effort to provide clean, sustainable electricity, but it also carries a huge responsibility: guaranteeing its complete safety. Nuclear energy is at a turning point. Nuclear power provides a potent, carbon-free answer as the globe struggles with climate change and the pressing need to decarbonize energy grids. However, public fear, primarily from past mishaps like Chernobyl and Fukushima, continues to …

A Particle-Derived Nonlinear Dynamical Framework for Bubble Oscillations: Reduced-Order Modeling, Bifurcation Analysis, and Optimal Stabilization
Abstract: Particle-based fluid simulation has emerged as a powerful computational framework for modeling complex multiphase flows involving large deformations, moving interfaces, and nonlinear fluid interactions that challenge conventional mesh-based approaches. In this work, a nonlinear dynamical systems framework is developed for particle-resolved bubble oscillations by constructing a reduced-order model that preserves the dominant physical mechanisms governing bubble interface evolution. The formulation represents the bubble dynamics through coupled radial and shape deformation …

Pharmacokinetic Profiling and Molecular Docking of Carvacrol and Structural Analogs: Targeting Quorum Sensing Proteins to Disrupt Biofilm-Mediated Antimicrobial Resistance in Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Pathogen
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance, particularly in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has become a major global health threat, exacerbated by the organism's ability to form biofilms and regulate virulence through quorum sensing (QS). The LuxR and LasR receptors are key regulators in this process, influencing both pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance. This study investigates potential QS inhibitors targeting these receptors as a strategy to mitigate antibiotic resistance. The primary objective was to identify novel ligands that …

Ilaj bil-Ma’ (Hydrotherapy) as a Regimenal Modality in Pain Management: Conceptual Foundations in Unani Medicine and Modern Correlation
Abstract: Waja‘ (pain) is one of the most common clinical complaints encountered worldwide and remains a leading cause of disability, impaired functional capacity, and diminished quality of life. In the Unani system of medicine, pain is not considered merely a symptom but a significant manifestation of disturbed physiological balance. Classical Unani scholars describe pain as arising from derangement in Mizāj (temperament), imbalance of Akhlāṭ (humours), Sudad (obstruction within bodily channels), Waram …
