Possibility of the optimum monitoring and evaluation (M&E) production frontier for risk-informed health governance in disaster-prone districts of West Bengal, India

Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition
An efficient M&E system in public healthcare is crucial for achieving universal health coverage in low- and middle-income countries, especially when the need for service remains unmet due to the exposure of the population to disaster risks and ...

A Novel Two‐Stage Flexible Flow Shop Batch Scheduling Model for Grinding Workshops

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing need for data storage in data centers has increased the demand for mechanical hard disks due to their low cost and high reliability. Aluminum substrates are the most popular base plates for mechanical hard disks because of their high hardness and low cost.

Deep Learning–Driven Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering–Lateral Flow Immunoassay With Au Nanostars for High‐Accuracy Respiratory Virus Detection

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The high accuracy in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering‐lateral flow immunoassays (SERS–LFIAs) is critical for reliable point‐of‐care testing (POCT) in clinical diagnostics. Conventional approaches are often affected by sampling variability and uneven distribution of immunoprobes, leading to unreliable signal fluctuations.

Interface Issues of Inorganic Solid‐State Electrolytes in Secondary Magnesium Batteries

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid‐state magnesium batteries (SSMBs) have gained significant attention as promising candidates for next‐generation safe energy storage systems because of the abundance of magnesium (Mg) in the earth's crust, superior energy density, and inherent nonflammability.
