In today’s changing realm of science and engineering blending creativity with technical skills has become essential. Design Thinking, an approach cantered around needs and innovation serves as a bridge between these two realms providing a solid framework for engineers and scientists to address complex challenges with resourcefulness and empathy.

This study addresses the challenges of compressing and decompressing digital-ink data captured from handwritten inputs on a device- such as pen-tablet, etc. We propose a novel method leveraging sparse Gaussian process regression (GPR) to compress digital-ink data into a compact kernel matrix using pseudo-inputs. To enhance compression accuracy and reconstruction fidelity, we integrate a dynamic programming (DP) strategy for optimal pseudo-input selection. Experimental results validate the proposed method by demonstrating its effectiveness and significant compression ratios.

Our invention/paper relates to the use of a kaolin source material that is mixed with a pozzolanic material in the absence of water, to form a geopolymer cement binder material. It relates to the industrial scale processes that these two major materials go through as they are prepared by special manufacturing processes to obtain optimised raw material constituent materials first and then when they mixed by large scale/commercial processes to obtain products of uniform quality. A geopolymer cement product capable of achieving a compressive strength of 104 Mpa with a compressive strength after a chemical attack of 100.74 Mpa and a thermal expansion of 0,2mm can be achieved after producing the input raw materials into this GPC cement at a Pyro processing temperature of 681 Degrees Celsius resulting in an aluminium material phase of 4.01 and silica to alumina ratio of 2.26. This product should be ground to a particle surface area of 6863 parts/cm² with an alkali activator of 18,78%.

At Evolwe Inc., we are advancing the frontier of artificial consciousness (AC) by developing emotionally intelligent, conscious AI agents designed to enhance human-AI collaboration. Emotional AI serves as the foundational layer for AC, enabling machines to recognize and respond to human emotions, intuitions, and contextual nuances. This article explores how our research integrates emotional AI with artificial consciousness to create agents that can intuitively interact with humans across diverse industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and the creative sectors. We highlight the practical applications of these conscious AI agents and discuss the ethical implications of bringing machines closer to human-like consciousness. As emotional AI becomes obligatory in developing AC, Evolwe Inc. is aiming to lead the charge toward a future where emotionally intelligent, conscious agents transform how humans and machines collaborate, creating more natural, intuitive partnerships for solving complex real-world problems.

In recent years many of the applications have been migrated to the cloud mainly due to its flexibility and capability of cutting down on user Costs. But as we notice that many data are now being stored on the cloud there has been a rising concern on security. However, in a cloud environment, information, identity, database, application servers, and web servers are vulnerable to different types of cyber threats such as data breaches, identity theft, database manipulation, and more. Responses to these threats need sound investigation systems and methods hence giving rise to the concept of cloud forensics. Cloud forensics targets deal with cybercriminals in cloud infrastructures by presenting techniques for the detection, analysis, and prevention of illicit actions.

Today, we stand on the brink of unprecedented technological advancements in the fields of Science and Engineering. These advancements are driven by the need to innovate in ways that are not only groundbreaking but also sustainable. One of the most promising avenues in this endeavor is the development and application of polymer composites. Polymer composites, which combine a polymer matrix with reinforcing materials, offer remarkable benefits including enhanced strength, reduced weight, and improved resistance to environmental degradation. These properties make them indispensable across various industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and consumer electronics.
