Abstract This study investigates the efficiency of three different windshield wiper types—Flat, Beam, and Aero—by assessing their performance in clearing a given area. Windshield wipers are necessary for maintaining visibility, however differences in design may influence their effectiveness. To test this, the number of wipes required for each wiper type to remove water until at least 80% of the windshield area was visibly free of water was recorded and analyzed. The average w

Abstract Artificial intelligence is becoming part of how we learn, work, create, and make decisions. Yet as AI becomes more capable, many people either trust it too much or dismiss it too quickly. This paper explores that mismatch, which is described as the Epistemic Trust Gap (ETG)—the difference between what people believe AI can do and what it can actually do. Methodologically, this study conducts a qualitative literature review synthesizing recent interdisciplinary resear

Abstract “Determining the Factors and Effects of Energy Loss and Fatigue in Kathak Dancers Caused by Chakkars” (ELFKC) explores the intersection of computational modeling and classical Indian dance to investigate the metabolic, biomechanical, and physiological demands of chakkars in Kathak, a North Indian classical dance form. Though Kathak is known for its rapid, sustained spinning sequences, limited scientific literature exists analyzing the energy loss and weakened muscula

An essential tool for preserving history, culture, and personal memory, storytelling continuously evolves to meet the needs of different individuals with the use of technology. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, which specializes in Alzheimer’s care, support, and research, 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer's, a number “projected to rise to nearly 13 million by 2050” (Facts and Figures). This creates an urgent need for effective therapeutic interventions, such as

1. Abstract The circadian rhythm (CR), regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, governs the body’s 24-hour sleep-wake cycle and plays an essential role in maintaining immune homeostasis. This review examines how disruption of the CR influences susceptibility to autoimmune diseases (AD). A bibliometric search using Web of Science identified 112 relevant publications, from which the top 100 most-cited papers were analyzed to determine leading contributors a

Abstract The loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystems are often acutely linked to armed conflict. Although studies of war have typically described the human and political consequences, this study provides a review of the ecological aspects of conflict, synthesizing examples of conflicts from global biodiversity hotspots. We identified direct effects of armed conflict—deforestation, habitat destruction, chemical defoliation, and wildlife harvesting—and indirect e

Abstract This paper investigates how explicit and implicit memory systems shape intuitive decision-making in psychiatric patients. Studies show that disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and dementia impair memory processes. These disruptions often increase reliance on intuition, which are helpful but also vulnerable to bias and false memories. In psychiatric care, nurses also frequently use intuition in treatment decisions, though its reliability resides with experie

Abstract Due to their unique atomic and molecular properties, halogen gases play an important role in industrial and agricultural processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and construction materials. This study investigates the reaction kinetics of hydrogen gas (H 2 ) with fluorine (F 2 ), bromine (Br 2 ), and iodine (I 2 ), focusing on how electronegativity, atomic size, and bond strength influence their reaction rates. In order to achieve this,

Abstract Since the launch of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), various detectors have been released to identify AI-generated content . However, their reliability remains unknown, due to their fluctuating levels of accuracy. In this study, we conducted a preliminary assessment on the accuracy of such tools, namely Copyleaks, GPTZero, Quillbot, Undetectable, and Writer since they were the top results from a Google search titled “AI Detectors.” We tested six text samples
