Gaussian-transform formula is derived for the Dirac wave function. Using it, one can derive the multicenter molecular integral over Dirac wave functions for any physical quantity. As the first application of it, multicenter molecular integrals over Dirac wave functions are derived for the homogeneous charge density distribution model and the Gauss-type charge density distribution model. Such integrals are necessary for solving the gauge-invariant molecular matrix Dirac equation with using the restricted magnetic balance.

The article criticizes studies on modern warming that do not take into account the warming of the last interglacial period—the Holocene. According to data from numerous meteorological stations, no anthropogenic contribution to climate warming is detected before 1950. This contribution becomes noticeable in the meteorological station data after 1950.

Nanotechnology, particularly nanorobotics, has emerged as a transformative force in modern medicine. Nanorobots, designed at the molecular scale, hold promise for a range of medical applications, including targeted drug delivery, early disease diagnostics, minimally invasive surgeries, and precise infection control. Their unique ability to interact with biological systems at the cellular level opens avenues for significant advancements in treatment protocols, potentially overcoming current limitations in traditional therapies. This review delve...s into the development, mechanisms, and diverse medical applications of nanorobots, highlighting their structural components, energy sources, and propulsion methods. Additionally, we explore specific case studies in cancer treatment, infection control, and surgical innovations, assessing both the advancements and challenges associated with nanorobotic technologies. The goal is to present a comprehensive overview that underscores the potential of nanorobots to revolutionize patient care and set the stage for future research in this burgeoning field.Read more

The types and concentrations of gas hydrates collected from four different geological sites were analyzed using high-resolution angular dispersive X-ray powder diffraction, with synchrotron radiation as the source. Measurements were taken across a temperature range of 80 to 300 K and a pressure range of 0.1 to 80 MPa. All four gas hydrate samples showed the presence of three mixed crystal structures: structures I, II, and H. Additionally, the ice Ih structure was inherently present in all the natural gas hydrate minerals. The variation in the t...ypes and concentrations of gas hydrates can be attributed to the diversity of natural gases at different geographic locations.Read more

This paper presents a Technical and Economic Feasibility Study of proposed Pumped Storage Power Plants (PSPPs) at KM (Kuda Oya, Mul Oya), KMG (Kuda Oya, Mul Oya, Gurugal Oya), KG (Kuda Oya, Gurugal Oya), and Dambagasthalawa. Sri Lanka aims to transition away from a coal-dominant electricity sector within the next decade, aligning with sustainability goals outlined by the United Nations. In pursuit of affordable and clean energy sustainability, the Sri Lankan government has opted to shift its long-term energy policy towards renewable sources, de...parting from fossil fuels. Despite this shift, a significant portion of Sri Lanka's electricity consumption—approximately 600 MW from oil and 900 MW from coal—persists. The country now aims to source 80% of its energy from renewable sources, necessitating a focus on underutilized opportunities. In selecting the best candidate sites for Pumped Storage Power Plant (PSPP) design, comprehensive hydrological and sedimentation studies play a pivotal role. In this endeavor, we endeavor to re-rank the selected candidate sites for pumped storage power plants considering technical & financial feasibility by conducting comprehensive hydrological and sedimentation studies. These studies are pivotal for assessing the feasibility and long-term viability of potential sites, aiming to select the most sustainable candidate site in every aspect. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to conduct a thorough hydrologic study of the proposed KMG and Dambagastalawa pump storage power plants, focusing on identifying potential energy-saving opportunities in pumping when these plants operate as open-loop systems. This study will analyze the hydrology of the upper ponds of the Kuda Oya, Mul Oya, and Gurugal Oya (KMG) pump storage power plants, and the Dambagastalawa Oya pump storage power plant, assessing the potential reduction in pumping energy. Such insights are essential for optimizing the design and operation of PSPPs to ensure economic viability and sustainable energy generation. Furthermore, this research addresses the importance of studying sedimentation in both the upper and lower ponds of the KMG and Dambagastalawa pump storage power plants. Sedimentation calculations will be performed to determine reservoir lifetimes, offering critical insights into the long-term feasibility and maintenance requirements of these projects. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable guidance to policymakers, investors, and PSPP designers in selecting the most suitable sites for addressing Sri Lanka's peak power demands and urgent electricity needs. By emphasizing the significance of hydrological and sedimentation studies, this research underscores the importance of thorough site assessment in optimizing the design and operation of Pumped Storage Power Plants. Read more

This editorial aims to highlight the critical intersections of patient care and technology, as illustrated in our recent article collection and addresses urgent challenges posed by global health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic while exploring broader themes such as personalized medicine, ethical practices, and the nutritional impacts on health.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence and benchmarks in Physical Therapy (PT). Therefore, the updated knowledge derived from large databases is highly engaging. Data Mining (DM) analysis from a big database related to “AI” and “PT” was the aim for the co-occurrence of words, network clusters, and trends under the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). The terms “AI” and “PT” were cited from a big database in the SCOPUS. The co-occurrence, network clustering, and tre...nd were computer-analyzed with a Bibliometric tool. Between 1993 and 2024, 174 documents were published, revealing the most frequently used terms related to AI, human, PT, physical modalities, machine learning, physical treatment, deep learning, patient rehabilitation, robotics, virtual reality, algorithms, telerehabilitation, ergonomics, exercise, quality of life, and other related topics. Five network clusters were discovered as; (1) AI, decision support systems, health care, human-computer interaction, intelligent robots, learning algorithms, neuromuscular, stroke, and patient rehabilitation, PT, robotics, etc., respectively, (2) aged, algorithms, biomechanics, exercise, exercise therapy, female, humans, machine learning, middle-aged, PT modalities, rehabilitation, treatment outcome, deep learning, etc., (3) deep learning, diagnosis, and quality of life, (4) review and systematic review, and (5) clinical practice. From 2008 to 2024, a trend emerged in the fields of algorithms, computer-assisted diagnosis, treatment planning, classification, equipment design, signal processing, AI, exercise, physical and patient rehabilitation, robotics, virtual reality, machine learning, deep learning, clinical practice, etc. Discovered knowledge of AI with PT related to different machine learning for use in clinical practice.Read more
