Aluminosilicate-based materials have attracted extensive attention owing to their remarkable physicochemical properties, including high surface area, tunable porosity, thermal stability, ion-exchange capacity, and structural versatility. The incorporation of metal oxides, metal sulfides, and metal selenides into aluminosilicate matrices has emerged as an effective strategy for developing multifunctional composites with enhanced catalytic, photocatalytic, adsorption, sensing, energy-storage, […]
The present study focuses on floristic study of genus Euphorbia from Pandharpur tehsil (M.S.) India. Field survey was conducted across various habitat of study area to record species diversity, morphological variation and ecological adaptations. Total 20 Euphorbia species were discovered. 15 of these are categorized as herbs and 5 are classified as shrubs. A few […]
Mathematical modelling of biological systems and infectious diseasetransmission has become an essential tool for understanding, predicting, and controlling epidemics. Fixed point theory provides a powerful mathematical framework for analyzing biological models by establishing the existence, uniqueness, and stability of equilibrium states. Many disease transmission models, including SIR, SEIR, epidemic network models, and reaction–diffusion systems, can […]
Financial mathematics has become an essential discipline in the modern financial system, providing quantitative tools for pricing financial assets, managing risks, and optimizing investment decisions. The rapid advancement of digital finance, supported by artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, big data analytics, cloud computing, and financial technology has significantly transformed the global financial landscape. Digital financial services […]
Trachyspermum ammi (L.), commonly known as ajwain, is an important medicinal plant belonging to the family Apiaceae. It is widely cultivated in India, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and other regions and has long been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. The seeds of T. ammi are rich in essential oils, particularly thymol, which is […]
Flower-Derived Essential Oils (FEOs) are valuable natural products widely used in the fragrance, cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical and aromatherapy industries due to their unique aroma and diverse bioactive properties. Their extraction is challenging because floral tissues contain low concentrations of volatile compounds that are highly sensitive to heat and processing conditions. This review summarizes recent advances […]
Rapid urbanization has intensified the demand for sustainable green infrastructure capable of mitigating heat island effects, managing storm water, improving air quality and enhancing urban aesthetics. Green roofs and vertical gardens (also known as living walls or green façades) represent two of the most promising forms of urban greening, particularly when designed with ornamental plant […]
The construction industry is undergoing digitalization by adopting digital technologies such as building information modelling (BIM), artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, the internet of things (IoT), and mobile project management applications. There is a growing body of literature on the benefits of digital transformation in the construction industry. However, there is limited information on the […]
The oral cavity hosts a diverse microbial ecosystem that plays a crucial role in maintaining oral and systemic health. Disruption of this balanced microbiota results in oral dysbiosis, leading to periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease driven by pathogenic bacteria and an exaggerated host immune response. Increasing evidence indicates that periodontal pathogens and their virulence factors […]
This study investigates the histopathological impacts of nematode parasite infestation on the freshwater fish Channa striatus collected from the Godavari River at Kaigaon Toka, Maharashtra, India. Channa striatus, a commercially vital species, serves as an intermediate or definitive host for various nematodes, which causes significant physiological stress. Among these, nematodes of the genus Eustrongylides are […]
This review systematically consolidates contemporary findings regarding the botanical variety, taxonomical structure, geographical distribution, ethnobotanical utility, nutritional composition, pharmaceutical potential, ecological functions, and conservation standing of edible wild flora across Northeast India. Furthermore, it emphasizes their contributions to traditional medical systems and rural livelihoods while identifying major research deficiencies and future priorities. Strengthening empirical documentation, […]
India’s unique demographic, environmental and socio-economic landscape subjects it to a complex epidemiological transition. While non-communicable diseases are rising, infectious diseases continue to exert an immense public health burden. This paper analyzes the trends, transmission dynamics, and infection scales of major infectious disease outbreaks in India from 2016 to 2026. By evaluating national surveillance records […]
The global food environment has undergone a significant transformation between 2015 and 2026, with traditional dietary patterns increasingly replaced by diets rich in ultra-processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars, unhealthy fats and sodium. Driven by urbanization, globalization, technological advancements and changing lifestyles, this nutritional transition has contributed to the rising prevalence of obesity, hypertension, type […]
