Pharmaceutical supply chains represent one of the most operationally demanding environments for artificial intelligence deployment, requiring continuous demand forecasting, expiration tracking, procurement automation, and multi-location coordination under conditions that permit minimal margin for error. This paper presents the design, implementation, and real-world deployment outcomes of Restocks AI, an autonomous multi-agent AI platform engineered to replace manual pharmaceutical supply chain operations at national scale. The system integrates predictive inventory engines, multi-agent decisioning frameworks, distributed task-processing infrastructure, and real-time data pipelines to autonomously manage end-to-end supply chain operations across geographically dispersed pharmacy networks. The platform was deployed across two pharmaceutical organizations in Uzbekistan spanning a combined 427 pharmacy locations across all 14 administrative regions, including one of the country's largest private pharmacy networks (150+ locations) and the largest government-operated pharmaceutical institution (277 locations). Deployment results demonstrated 70% reduction in manual operational workload, 30% acceleration of replenishment cycles, 65% reduction in pharmaceutical expiration waste, 70% reduction in stockout incidents, and a combined financial impact of 812 billion Uzbek sum. These results demonstrate that autonomous multi-agent AI systems can effectively manage pharmaceutical supply chains at national scale, offering a replicable architecture with significant implications for healthcare infrastructure, public health outcomes, and the broader application of multi-agent AI in critical industries.

This article considers the comprehensive evaluation of flight designs used in drum dryers and the justification of a new three-section flight design. For the analysis, straight radial, inclined, 90° right-angled, 120° angled, hook-shaped, two-segment, optimized two-segment, three-segment, inclined-flight, notched/opening and curved/notched flight designs were selected. These designs were chosen on the basis of real technical solutions reported in literature and patent sources and were evaluated according to their ability to lift the material, redistribute it, disperse it into the gas stream, direct it along the drum, intensify heat and mass transfer, and limit aerodynamic resistance. The comprehensive analysis was performed using a heatmap, radar diagram, 3D surface plot and moisture-profile graphs. The results show that simple straight radial and inclined flights can effectively perform some individual functions, but their ability to simultaneously lift, redistribute and disperse the material into the gas flow is limited. The three-segment design and the proposed three-section flight have high compatibility coefficients in zones 2–4 of the drum and are therefore evaluated as the most suitable structural solutions for intensifying the drying process.

The current data warehousing infrastructure heavily depends on the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to deliver timely and accurate information to support analytics and decision-making processes. Nevertheless, conventional ETL scheduling methodologies, such as AutoSys and Linux-based scripting, tend to be rigid, rule-based, and inflexible to handle dynamic workload management, thereby leading to wastage of resources, delays, and inefficiencies. This paper novel study of AutoCortex, an autonomous job orchestration framework which improves ETL scheduling efficiency through intelligent, adaptive and self-optimizing mechanisms.The AutoCortex framework combines Linux shell scripting, AutoSys job scheduling, decision models to facilitate real-time monitoring, predictive scheduling and automated dependency of complex ETL workflows. The AutoCortex framework will utilize historical ETL execution information, system resource utilization and job dependencies to dynamically manage ETL job priorities, optimize execution sequences, and eliminate performance bottlenecks. AutoCortex will also include fault tolerance mechanisms such as automated recovery, alerting and self-healing to enhance system reliability.

The article examines an architectural model for securing microservice systems in a Kubernetes environment, integrating mechanisms for federated authentication, secrets management, network isolation, and secure data evolution, leveraging OAuth 2.1, PKCE, Keycloak, Vault, and LDAP. This is motivated by the increasing attack surface of cloud‑native environments, exacerbated by container ephemerality, flat cluster networking, and fragmented access domains. In such environments, a compromised container can attack other services, steal credentials, and intercept traffic․ The paper thus seeks to develop and validate an integrated architectural approach to secure the Kubernetes microservice ecosystem under the Zero Trust security model․ The main contribution of the article is formalizing an end-to-end security pattern for the IAM domain․ This pattern is formed by combining several technologies (PKCE, mTLS‚ Vault PKI‚ External Secrets Operator‚ and Liquibase) into a single model․ It is concluded that the combination of an API Gateway, Keycloak with LDAP, short-lived secrets, and separated privileges for applications and migrations reduces the risk of token interception, secret leakage, and lateral movement within the cluster at an acceptable infrastructure cost. The article will be useful for IT architects, DevSecOps engineers, information security specialists, and cloud platform developers.

The modern nail service industry is increasingly focused on safety, efficiency, and preservation of the natural nail structure. Traditional material removal techniques often involve aggressive filing, which may lead to damage of the nail plate, including thinning, sensitivity, and reduced adhesion of subsequent coatings.

This article presents the Zero-Base Safe Removal™ method — a proprietary system of controlled material removal designed to eliminate direct mechanical contact between the drill bit and the natural nail plate. The method is based on the principle of preserving a residual layer of artificial material, which functions as a protective and stabilizing element.

The paper outlines the conceptual framework, scientific rationale, technical principles, and practical application of the method, emphasizing its role in improving safety standards and professional practices within the nail industry.

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Akure, This research assessed persistent unavailability electrical energy problem of Local Government Service Commission (LGSC) Alagbaka in Akure, Ondo State, Data were collected from Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC), Akure and LGSC log books Alagbaka. Frequency and duration of electricity supply were obtained from the BEDC and LGSC log books. Results revealed that the existing public utility and existing generators sources feed the LGSC; the LVP and associated CBs of the LGSC network are functioning very well; the average public supply is averagely 4hrs per each working day as against the required 8hrs per day amounting to 50% availability through the year; total connected load is 113.4 kVA. Conclusively, a proposed generator or inverter capacity is designed to 79.4 kVA considering appropriate standards of demand load, diversity factor and future expansion; solar inverter is recommended for the LGSC operation due to its overall benefits existing literature established in this research; and 80 kVA solar inverter is recommended for the LGSC operation.  Load survey should be carried out before sizing of a generator/Inverter for any edifice. Appropriate standards should be considered in sizing a power supply unit source.

The article is dedicated to the transformation of dimensional inspection in precision manufacturing through the integration of machine vision systems and coordinate measuring machines. Relevance is determined by increasing geometric complexity of components and the need to maintain micron-level accuracy under high production rates. The work describes the structural reorganization of inspection processes into distributed measurement systems where sensing, validation, and control are interconnected. Special attention is paid to data fusion mechanisms, calibration strategies, and the redistribution of measurement uncertainty across heterogeneous sensing layers. The work sets itself the task of explaining how integrated inspection architectures improve both efficiency and measurement reliability. Analytical review and conceptual interpretation of recent scientific studies are used to solve it. Such sources have been studied in terms of measurement architectures, in-line metrology, optical coordinate systems, and uncertainty propagation models. The conclusion shows that integration does not merge technologies into a single method but restructures them into a hierarchical measurement infrastructure combining speed, coverage, and traceable accuracy. The article will be useful for researchers and engineers working with advanced inspection systems in precision manufacturing environments.
