Oral cavity cancers are a debilitating form of head and neck cancer with high rates of mortality. Radiotherapy is one of the main forms of treatment but relies on minimizing doses that are delivered to organs at risk and considering any motion in the mouth. One solution is to use a block within the mouth which acts to reduce motion and decreases tissue heterogeneity. In this work, we developed a process for designing a customi...

Flash floods are among the most frequent natural hazards, posing serious environmental challenges, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where steep topography and compact basin morphometry accelerate surface runoff. The ungauged hill torrents of southwestern Punjab, Pakistan, are particularly vulnerable to such events, experiencing recurrent, intense flash floods. This study develops an integrated GIS-based morphometric...

Salicylic (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) defense pathways antagonize each other to compromise host plant defense. Modulation of SA-JA transcriptional antagonism could enhance plant resistance against herbivores. Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum , was treated with phytohormonal inducers BTH (Benzothiadiazole-SA synthetic analogue) and MeJA (Methyl jasmonate-JA analogue) through foliar applications at 0, 0.5, and 1 mM, while PGP rhizob...
