A novel two-parameter continuous model titled the entropy-transformed Weibull (ET-W) distribution has been developed via the entropy transformation. A new framework has been investigated and found to meet the criteria of the probability function. By significantly improving the functional shape and having the ability to model the most likely form of the hazard rate function, this novel modification has increased the adaptability of typical model.

Through a synergistic approach integrating carbon fiber paper (CFP), hydrothermally synthesized nanoneedles (NNs), and silicone oil liquid entrapment (LE) within NNs, we achieved remarkable improvements in water collection efficiency. While CFP captures fog effectively during AWH, it faces challenges with water-pinning effects, mitigated by NNs' improved droplet-spreading properties, leading to a notable 50% increase in harvesting efficiency.

A smaller sella turcica volume is a risk factor for SS, consequent to compressive effects on the pituitary stalk. Hypopituitarism in SS increases the risk of metabolic liver and bone diseases.

- Arboviruses like dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are emerging as significant global health threats, with this study focusing on their prevalence in Kashmir, North India, among patients with acute febrile illness.
- A total of 812 blood samples were tested, revealing dengue in 12.93% of patients, chikungunya in 2.09%, and no cases of Zika; most affected individuals had traveled within India.
- The study found that dengue virus-1 was the dominant serotype among positive cases, with common symptoms including fever, fatigue, and joint pain; it emphasizes the need for screening travelers showing symptoms as local populations appear less affected.
Objectives: The ambition of this research is to gauge marginal bone loss (MBL) and peri-implant tissue health by comparing immediate and delayed implant implantation in a tertiary care setting.
Methods: Subjects who had immediate and delayed implants were assessed. Clinical indicators such as bleeding on probing (BOP), peri-implant probing depth, and MBL were assessed at baseline and six months postimplantation.
