Abstract Silicon Carbide Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (SiC MOSFETs) have superior characteristics compared to traditional Silicon-based switching devices. SiC devices can support fast switching speeds and high blocking voltages. Due to limited historical data and rapid technological improvements, there is not enough field data to correctly evaluate the reliability of the state-of-the-art SiC MOSFETs. An accurate model of their reliability and aging characteristics is needed to expedite their rapid commercial adoption in mission-critical applications, such as offshore wind farms and electric vehicles. Classical handbook-based methods produce large errors due to their inability to correctly… More >

Abstract Despite the advancements achieved in chemotherapy, cancer continues to remain a formidable and lethal global threat, ranking as the second leading cause of death worldwide. The development of chemoresistance poses a significant hurdle in cancer treatment. Nonetheless, a therapeutic strategy known as chemosensitization has emerged to counteract cancer cell resistance, wherein the efficacy of one drug is augmented by another. Accumulating evidence suggests that natural products have attracted considerable attention in the cancer therapeutic realm due to their ability to combat multidrug resistance with minimal side effects. Ginsenosides, triterpene saponins extracted from Panax ginseng, have demonstrated… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Integrating renewable energy sources presents technical challenges due to their variable nature, particularly in predicting and managing microgrid operational modes. Accurate identification of grid states—interconnected or islanded—is essential for maintaining stability and optimizing performance under fluctuating environmental conditions to meet energy demand. This work proposes a bio-inspired, optimized binary classification model based on Multi-Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Networks (MLP-ANN), with the architecture and hyperparameters tuned using the novel Mosquito Mating Swarm Optimization (MMSO) algorithm, inspired by mosquito mating behavior and swarm dynamics. The model employs an MLP-ANN with a variable number of hidden layers and… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Backgrounds: Autocrine motility factor (AMF) represents a paradoxical protein with dual roles in cancer progression and therapy. This study investigated AMF-derived tetradecapeptides as novel chemosensitizing agents to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in hematological malignancies (HMs). Methods: Seven AMF variants were screened for anticancer activity across 14 human cancer cell lines using MTT and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays. Four tetradecapeptides (AMF-derived peptides AAP, HGP, HTP, and SKP) corresponding to the AMF206-219 region were designed and evaluated in three HM cell lines (HL-60, CCRF-CEM, IM-9) for growth inhibition, cellular internalization, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial membrane… More >

Abstract This study examines the variable thermal conductivity and electroosmotic performance of Sutterby hybrid nanofluid (SBHNF) thin film flow over a stretched inclined sheet using an artificial neural network (ANN)-based on NARX (Multilayer Nonlinear Autoregressive Networks with Exogenous Inputs) multiple-layer backpropagation simulation with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA). AA7075 and AA7072 nanoparticles suspended in sodium alginate (SA) base fluid make up the hybrid nanofluid (HNF), which was selected due to its improved heat transfer properties and superior thermal conductivity. The model’s practical applicability is enhanced by melting heat, nonlinear thermal radiation, boundary slip, and Newtonian heating effects,… More >

Abstract This study presents a numerical investigation of thermosolutal convection within a baffled porous cavity filled with a radiative Casson-based ternary aqueous nanofluid. The ternary hybrid nanofluid is formulated by dispersing three distinct nanoparticles into a water-based solution, aiming to enhance the thermal and solute transport characteristics. The cavity includes internal baffles that modulate convective flow and facilitate improved energy transport. The governing equations for momentum, energy, species concentration, and entropy generation are discretized and solved using a higher-order compact (HOC) finite difference scheme, ensuring superior numerical precision. The novelty of the present study lies in… More >

Abstract Tropical Cyclone (TC) genesis forecasting is an important aspect of early warning systems, as it allows the adoption of early warnings and mitigation plans. However, existing methods often rely on binary classification or fail to capture the complex spatio-temporal dependencies that govern TC formation. To address this limitation, this study introduces STAG-Net, a novel Spatio-Temporal Attention-Gated Network designed to directly predict the geographical coordinates of TC genesis. The model uses multivariate variables of meteorological factors such as u-wind, v-wind, relative humidity, temperature, and large-scale dynamic features using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Gated Recurrent Units… More >

Abstract An eco-friendly one-pot hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize molybdenum disulfide/graphene oxide (MoS₂/GO) nanocomposites for high-performance supercapacitor applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of the MoS₂ crystalline phase, with reduced peak intensities upon GO incorporation, indicating suppressed crystallite growth. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed rod-like MoS₂ structures uniformly distributed across layered GO sheets, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the presence of Mo, S, C, and O elements. Raman and FTIR analyses verified strong interfacial interactions between MoS₂ and GO. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) measurements revealed a mesoporous structure with a specific surface area of ~31.7 m² g⁻¹ and… More >
