Recently, Zahednejad and Gao (2025 Journal of Information Security and Applications, Elsevier, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jisa.2025.104083,) identified key compromise impersonation (KCI) in both, a two-factor, and a three-factor authentication protocols for IoT devices. They further proposed a lightw...

The selection of optimal artificial lift methods using machine learning remains challenging due to complex interactions among reservoir characteristics, fluid properties, and operational constraints. Conventional approaches rely on engineering expertise and static screening criteria, often insuffici...

Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia is the preeminent work of the Italian literature and one of the greatest of the world literature. The poem allegorically represents the soul’s journey toward God passing through Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. At each stage of the journey, Dante adapts his languag...

As a pivotal tropical fruit crop in China, the mango (Mangifera indica L.) industry plays a strategic role in advancing agricultural modernization and augmenting rural incomes. However, the traditional mango value chain faces bottlenecks such as resource inefficiency, information asymmetry, and weak...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing, yet their deployment is hindered by data, computation, and privacy constraints. Federated Learning (FL) offers a promising solution by enabling collaborative, privacy-preserving training across distributed devices, while t...

These days, many eco-systems related to federated learning, blockchain, self-driving cars, and scientific computing have many agents working together, each doing its own part. Using a single central system to check if all the agents are doing their work correctly is slow and gets more expensive as m...

Corrosive waste-heat recovery systems suffer material degradation, performance loss and high maintenance when conventional metallic heat exchangers face chloride-, carbonate- and sulfur-bearing condensates. This study presents a multiphysics CFD-electrochemical assessment of silicon carbide (SiC) fo...

The rapid integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) into modern power grids necessitates robust safety architectures to prevent catastrophic failures such as thermal runaway. Current diagnostic frameworks are often reliant on isolated, single-parameter thresholds and lack direct linkage t...

The Triassic Halahatang Formation in the Tahe Oilfield, Tarim Basin, records a complex transition from fluvial to lacustrine depositional systems, yet its depositional architecture, evolutionary process, and controlling mechanisms remain insufficiently constrained. In this study, core observations,...

Flapping-wing flight has long inspired bio-inspired aerial robots because of its extraordinary aerodynamic efficiency and maneuverability. Although substantial progress has been achieved in understanding unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms, most existing frameworks remain centered on idealized periodic...
