Psychological Impacts of Built Environments in Varied Office Types: A Survey–Literature Comparative Analysis
Abstract: Modern workplaces are no longer just places to sit and work – they are environments that shape how people think, feel, and perform every single day. A well-designed office can energize, calm, or motivate its users, while a poorly designed one can quietly drain their focus and well-being. This study examines how lighting, ventilation, acoustics, privacy, greenery, and spatial layout influence the psychological experience of office users. Insights from 20 …

A Study of Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites with Filler Effect
Abstract: Considering their versatility, polymers sometimes lack the barrier properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability required for high-performance applications. The creation of polymer nanocomposites is an advanced solution to this restriction. To make these materials, nanoscale fillers like carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, and metal oxide nanoparticles are added to a polymer matrix in small amounts (typically 1–5% weight percentage). The nanoparticles’ incredibly high surface area-to-volume ratio, as well as their …

Safety, Toxicology, and Regulatory Science of CT Nano‐Contrast Agents in Radiology
Abstract: Nanoparticle-based contrast agents for X-ray computed tomography (CT) seek to overcome limitations of conventional iodinated small-molecule media but raise distinctive safety, toxicology, and regulatory science questions. Nano–bio-interactions specific to CT nanocontrast include reticuloendothelial system (RES) uptake, long-term hepatic and splenic retention, size-dependent renal versus hepatobiliary clearance, and potential immunogenicity and genotoxicity, all strongly influenced by particle composition, size, shape, surface charge, and coating chemistry. Robust preclinical evaluation requires harmonized in …

Mechanistic Insights into Solvent-Controlled Stepwise and Concerted Cycloadditions of the Propadienyl Cation with Oxoamides: A DFT Study
Abstract: AbstractOxazoles constitute an important class of heterocycles with widespread applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science, yet the mechanistic features governing their formation via cationic cycloaddition reactions remain incompletely understood. In this work, we present a comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) investigation into the reaction between the propadienyl cation and oxoamides as a model system for oxazole ring formation. Using the CAM-B3LYP/6–31+G(d,p) level of theory, we systematically compare gas-phase reactivity …

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based MPPT for PV Systems Under Partial Shading: A HybridMetaheuristic-Optimized Control Framework.
Abstract: Partial shade and quickly changing environmental conditions make Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) arrays particularly difficult. In these situations, traditional algorithms frequently fail to find the global optimum or experience sluggish convergence and steady-state oscillations. To obtain reliable, real-time MPPT under non-uniform irradiance, this research suggests a hybrid control architecture that combines a deep recurrent reinforcement learning (DRL) agent with metaheuristic-based parameter optimization and a digital-twin training …
