Discretized Holonomy as an Encoding Primitive for Quantum Cryptography
Geometric phases in quantum systems give rise to holonomies associated with cyclic evolution. In mixed-state settings, these holonomies arise from Uhlmann parallel transport on the purification bundle of density operators and depend on the global geometry of density-operator trajectories. In this wo...

Decentralized and Explainable Brain Tumor Segmentation: A Blockchain-Secured Federated Learning Approach
Brain tumor segmentation plays an important role in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and neuro-oncology assessment using multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. However, conventional centralized deep learning systems often face limitations associated with patient data privacy, secur...

Transition-Metal Doping and Biaxial Strain Tune Magnetism and Electronic Structure in Two-Dimensional GaN: A First-Principles Study
Pristine two-dimensional (2D) GaN is non-magnetic, which limits its direct use in semiconductor spintronics. Here, first-principles calculations were used to screen 3d transition-metal substitution (TM = Sc-Zn) at 6.25 at.% and 9.375 at.% and to evaluate biaxial strain from \(-3%\) to \(3%\). Co sub...

The Efficiency Leap: A Simulation-Driven Approach toward Ethiopian Energy-Efficient Urban Housing
Enhancing the energy efficiency of urban housing is crucial for improving energy access in Ethiopia, where a persistent gap exists between energy demand and supply. The nationwide Integrated Housing Development Program (IHDP), implemented across diverse climatic zones with limited attention to local...

A Study on the Relationship Between Parenting Styles, Subjective Well-Being, and Explanatory Styles Among College Students
This study aims to explore the influence of parental parenting styles on college students' explanatory styles and to examine the mediating role of subjective well-being in this relationship. Using convenience sampling, 303 valid questionnaires were collected from undergraduate students. Data were an...

Application of Region Growing Algorithm in Hartmann Wavefront Reconstruction
The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor measures wavefront slopes by analyzing the displacement of focal spots formed by a microlens array. Based on these slope measurements, wavefront reconstruction can be achieved by solving the difference equations that relate slope to phase. A wavefront reconstructi...

Thermal Conversion of Cobalt Based Hexacyanoferrates into Derived Cobalt Oxides for Supercapacitor Applications
We report the synthesis of cobalt-based hexacyanoferrate (Co-HCF) via a simple co-precipitation method and its subsequent conversion to a derived oxide through thermal treatment. Comprehensive characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR...

Preparation and dielectric properties of BaCa$_4$Nb$_4$TiO$_{17}$ layered Perovskite at microwave frequencies
The layered BaCa$_4$Nb$_4$TiO$_{17}$ perovskite ceramic was synthesized via conventional solid state mixed oxide sintering process. The material was sintered in a range of 1375$^{\circ}$C to 1500$^{\circ}$C for 4~h to develop dense ceramic. Relative density of 97\% was achieved while sintering at 14...

Effects of Wall Speed Ratio and Magnetic Field on MHD Mixed Convection of CuO-Water Nanofluid in a Square Cavity
The effect of wall speed ratios on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convective flow in a square cavity filled with CuO-water nanofluid, incorporating a diagonally moving heated/cooled wall, is examined. The governing equations, which account for magnetic field effects, buoyancy forces, and nanopartic...

Mathematical Modelling of PM2.5 Dynamics in Hyderabad: A First-Order ODE Approach with Wind-Driven Removal
Daily mean PM\(_{2.5}\) concentrations in Hyderabad routinely exceed both the 24-hour (\(60\,\mu\text{g/m}^3\)) and the annual (\(40\,\mu\text{g/m}^3\)) National Ambient Air Quality Standards, motivating the development of transparent and inexpensive descriptive models of their seasonal behaviour. T...
