Abstract: Lead sulphide (PbS) thin films have attracted significant research interest because of their narrow band gap, excellent infrared sensitivity, and promising applications in optoelectronic devices, infrared detectors, solar cells, and photoconductive systems. The present study investigates the synthesis and characterization of PbS thin films deposited on glass substrates using the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique. The films were prepared under controlled deposition conditions and subsequently subjected to different cooling durations to evaluate their influence on structural and optical characteristics. Structural analysis was performed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), while surface morphology and optical properties were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV–Visible spectroscopy. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of polycrystalline PbS thin films with a face-centred cubic crystal structure. Variations in grain size, strain, and dislocation density were observed with different cooling durations, indicating that post-deposition treatment significantly affects crystal growth. SEM images revealed uniform surface morphology with densely packed grains, whereas UV–Visible analysis demonstrated favourable optical absorption characteristics suitable for photovoltaic and infrared sensing applications. The findings indicate that the SILAR method is an economical, simple, and effective technique for producing high-quality PbS thin films with potential applications in advanced optoelectronic devices.

Abstract: Neuro-marketing has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that integrates marketing, psychology, and neuroscience to understand the cognitive and emotional processes underlying consumer decision-making. The present study empirically examines the influence of key neuro-marketing factors consumer attention, emotional response, memory, sensory appeal, and subconscious influence on consumer behaviour. The study adopts a quantitative research design and considers a sample of 200 respondents. Data are measured using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The empirical analysis indicates that attention, emotional response, memory, and subconscious influence have positive and significant relationships with consumer behaviour, whereas sensory appeal demonstrates a positive but comparatively weaker influence when other factors are considered simultaneously. The regression model indicates that the selected neuro-marketing factors collectively explain a substantial proportion of the variation in consumer behaviour. Among the factors examined, emotional response emerges as one of the most influential predictors, highlighting the importance of affective engagement in shaping consumer responses. The findings suggest that marketers can improve consumer engagement by designing marketing stimuli that effectively capture attention, generate positive emotions, strengthen brand memory, and influence automatic decision processes. The study contributes to the growing empirical literature on neuro-marketing by demonstrating a structured framework for examining the relationship between psychological marketing stimuli and consumer behaviour. However, the findings should be interpreted in light of the study's methodological limitations and should be validated through larger samples and actual consumer data in future research.

Abstract: The fast expansion of the textile and garment sector has greatly increased waste clothing creation, causing major environmental and resource management concerns. Most wasted clothing are disposed of by landfilling or incineration, leading to resource depletion, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Waste clothes recycling has emerged as an efficient approach for encouraging resource conservation and fostering a circular economy. This study discusses important recycling technologies, including mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biological processes, and their potential for transforming textile waste into value-added goods such as regenerated fibers, composites, insulating materials, geotextiles, and construction items.The study also addresses how new technologies, like as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, can enhance the effectiveness of textile collection, sorting, and recycling. Additionally, the economic and environmental advantages of recycling are emphasized, including less carbon emissions, decreased landfill waste, resource conservation, and job creation. There is also discussion of current issues such contamination, insufficient infrastructure, mixed-fiber separation, and policy constraints. The analysis comes to the conclusion that effective waste clothing recycling presents important chances for value development, sustainable resource management, and the shift to a circular textile economy.

Abstract: Early and accurate cancer detection is essential for improving patient survival rates and enabling timely clinical intervention. However, conventional diagnostic approaches and classical machine learning techniques often encounter challenges in processing high-dimensional biomedical datasets due to feature redundancy, computational complexity, and limited predictive performance. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a quantum-assisted intelligent framework for early cancer detection by integrating advanced quantum-inspired preprocessing, feature optimization, and hybrid predictive modeling techniques. The proposed methodology employs Quantum-Normalized Adaptive Refinement (Q-NAR) to enhance data quality through effective preprocessing, Wrapper Component Attribute Analysis (WCAA) to rank significant biomedical features, and Swing L-Bee Mustard Optimization (SLBMO) to identify the optimal feature subset while reducing dimensionality. Finally, a Quantum Boosted Vector Fusion Network (QBVFN) is developed to perform accurate cancer classification and treatment outcome prediction. The proposed framework is validated using biomedical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) within a Python-based implementation environment. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves superior prediction accuracy, improved feature optimization, and enhanced computational efficiency compared with conventional machine learning models. The obtained results highlight the effectiveness of integrating quantum computing principles with machine learning techniques to support next-generation intelligent cancer diagnosis and precision healthcare systems.

Abstract: The increasing demand for durable, sustainable, and cost-effective roadway infrastructure has led to significant advancements in pavement engineering, particularly in the development of perpetual pavements. This research presents a comprehensive analysis of the Mechanistic–Empirical (M–E) design approach for perpetual pavements incorporating recycled and modified asphalt materials. The M–E design methodology integrates mechanistic analysis of pavement responses (stress, strain, and deflection) with empirical performance models to predict long-term distress such as fatigue cracking, rutting, and thermal cracking. The study critically evaluates the performance of recycled materials including Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS), and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), along with modified binders such as polymer-modified asphalt, crumb rubber-modified bitumen, and nano-modified binders.

Abstract: Accurate and transparent clinical evaluation of Metabolic Syndrome using radiographic imaging remains a significant challenge due to the subjective nature of manual interpretation and the limited explainability of conventional deep learning models. Although recent advances in artificial intelligence have substantially improved automated disease classification, the lack of model interpretability restricts their adoption in real-world clinical environments where transparency and trust are essential. This paper proposes an Explainable and Interpretable Smart Diagnostic Framework that combines deep convolutional feature learning with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques to provide both accurate predictions and clinically meaningful explanations. The framework incorporates comprehensive image preprocessing, hierarchical feature extraction, multi-scale severity classification, and explanation-driven decision support through visualization and feature attribution mechanisms. Attention-based localization and feature contribution analysis enable clinicians to identify the anatomical regions and predictive factors influencing the diagnostic outcome, thereby enhancing model transparency and clinical confidence. Furthermore, training on heterogeneous radiographic datasets improves robustness, generalization, and adaptability across diverse patient populations. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves high diagnostic performance while providing reliable interpretability, making it an effective decision-support system for intelligent clinical assessment and early disease severity evaluation.

Abstract: Parking congestion has become one of the major challenges in modern urban areas because of rapid population growth, expansion of cities, and the continuously increasing number of private vehicles. In many commercial zones, res-idential complexes, shopping malls, railway stations, airports, and educational campuses, drivers often face difficulty in finding available parking spaces. This leads to unnecessary delays, traffic buildup, fuel wastage, driver frustration, and increased air pollution. Traditional parking management systems generally depend on fixed thresholds or simple binary decision-making methods, where congestion is classified only as full or empty. Such systems are not flexible enough to handle real-time changes in parking demand and uncertain traffic situations. This paper presents a Mamdani fuzzy logic-based smart parking congestion detection system that can intelligently es-timate parking congestion levels using two important input parameters: vehicle count and free slot availability. Instead of using rigid boundaries, fuzzy logic uses linguistic terms such as Low, Medium, and High to represent real-world conditions more naturally. The proposed model uses triangular membership functions for fuzzification, a nine-rule inference engine for decision-making, and centroid defuzzification to generate a final congestion output. The system provides smoother transitions between congestion states, better handling of boundary values, and more realistic results compared to conventional methods. Due to its low computational complexity, the proposed system is highly suitable for real-time embedded devices, IoT-based smart city applications, and automated parking guidance systems.

Abstract: The digital world we live in today is creating an amount of unorganized data. This has led to something called hoarding. People who use cloud storage often feel overwhelmed by the number of files they have. They have a time searching for things and their organized systems start to fall apart. To solve this problem we are introducing XAI-CloudAssist. XAICloudAssist is a tool that is designed to work in the cloud. It automatically sorts files into categories using a group of Random Forest models. Unlike automated systems that are hard to understand our approach is transparent. We use something called Explainable AI to make sure people can see how it works. We use SHAP values to show why each file is sorted into a category. We give a score to each piece of information about the file to show how important it is. When we tested XAI-CloudAssist it was able to sort files 98 percent of the time. This shows that things like how space a file takes up and how often it is used are very good, at predicting what category it belongs in. XAICloudAssist also explains why each file is sorted into a category. This helps people understand the decisions it makes and trust that it is working correctly. XAI-CloudAssist is related to Cloud Computing and File Organization and Machine Learning and Explainable AI and SHAP and Random Forest and Automation and Data Governance.
