Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...

Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling of Categorical Data for Information Fusion and Causal Inference

This paper presents a nonparametric regression model of categorical time series in the setting of conditional tensor factorization and Bayes network. The underlying algorithms are developed to provide a flexible and parsimonious representat...

Preventing Posterior Collapse with DVAE for Text Modeling

This paper introduces a novel variational autoencoder model termed DVAE to prevent posterior collapse in text modeling. DVAE employs a dual-path architecture within its decoder: path A and path B. Path A makes the direct input of text insta...

An Image Encryption Transmission Scheme Based on a Polynomial Chaotic Map

Most existing chaotic systems have many drawbacks in engineering applications, such as the discontinuous range of chaotic parameters, weak chaotic properties, uneven chaotic sequence outputs, and dynamic degradation. Therefore, based on the...

Correct Criterion of Crustal Failure Driven by Intense Magnetic Stress in Neutron Stars

Magnetar outbursts are powered by an intense magnetic field. The phenomenon has recently drawn significant attention because of a connection to some fast radio bursts that has been reported. Understanding magnetar outbursts may provide the ...

A tetraquark 81-plet with $$J^{PC}=1^{-+}$$ J PC = 1 - + or a hybrid nonet

Abstract Confirming the existence of hybrid states remains challenging due to their experimental indistinguishability from tightly bound tetraquarks and loosely bound molecules. To address this issue, we employ QCD sum rules to systematical...

Multiplexed quantum repeaters based on single-photon interference with mild stabilization

Abstract Quantum repeaters are pivotal in the physical layer of the quantum internet, and quantum repeaters capable of efficient entanglement distribution are necessary for its development. Quantum repeater schemes based on single-photon in...

Power Load Probabilistic Prediction Based on Multi-Value Quantile Regression and Timing Fusion Ensemble Learning Model

The core component to ensure the refined and safe operation of distribution network scheduling is 10 kV bus load probabilistic prediction. However, existing probabilistic prediction methods suffer from insufficient dynamic feature extractio...

Minimum and Full Fluidization Velocity for Alumina Used in the Aluminum Smelter

Fluidization is an engineering unit operation that occurs when a fluid (liquid or gas) ascends through a bed of particles, and these particles get a velocity of minimum fluidization V mf enough to stay in suspension, but without carrying th...

Modified Block Homotopy Perturbation Method for solving triangular linear Diophantine fuzzy system of equations

Numerous real-world applications can be solved using the broadly adopted notions of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, and q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets. These theories, however, have their own restrictions in terms of members...

To the question of foreign-language training of undergraduates of power specialities in technical establishments of higher education of Ukraine

In the article the current state of foreign linguistic preparation of future power-engineering specialists in technical institutions of higher education is investigated and analysed. On the basis of the theoretical review of scientific and ...

The Relation between emotional eating and perceived stress among students in tertiary education in Oman: A single-center study

Objectives: Preliminary studies suggested that the high rates of stress are increasingly prevalent in students in tertiary education in the Arabian Gulf countries and that their emotional eating is often triggered by stress. Nevertheless, t...

A Data-Driven Approach for Enhancing Customer Loyalty through Strategic Business Innovations and Technology Integration

Background: Customer trust and loyalty are critical in today’s competitive business environment. Integrating technology, sustainability, and omnichannel approaches has been recognised as a key factor in enhancing customer experience. Howeve...

Unraveling the airline value creation network with fuzzy cognitive maps

The creation of value is a critical factor that determines the competitive capacity of firms and their ability to survive. Notwithstanding its importance, value creation usually becomes a fuzzy concept that is difficult to grasp, especially...

Research on the multi-agent motivation coupling evolution and synergy improvement for farmland ecological protection in China

The global ecology movement of the 1960s gave rise to international efforts to of farmland ecological protection. In these systematic, multi-agent projects, the long-term viability of farmland ecological protection rests significantly upon ...

Conceptual System Dynamics and Agent-Based Modelling Simulation of Interorganisational Fairness in Food Value Chains: Research Agenda and Case Studies

System dynamics and agent-based simulation modelling approaches have a potential as tools to evaluate the impact of policy related decision making in food value chains. The context is that a food value chain involves flows of multiple produ...

A techno-economic quantification of carbon reduction strategies in the Trinidad and Tobago power generation sector using Carbon Emission Pinch Analysis (CEPA)

Trinidad and Tobago’s (T&T) conditional commitment to the Paris Agreement requires an overall power emission avoidance (EAT) of 28.7 MtCO2-e from Business-As-Usual by 2030, dependent on international financing. T&T has outlined several init...

Integrating sensor data and GAN-based models to optimize medical university distribution: a data-driven approach for sustainable regional growth in Saudi Arabia

IntroductionThe regional disparity in higher education access can only be met when there are strategies for sustainable development and diversification of the economy, as envisioned in Saudi Vision 2030. Currently, 70% of universities are c...

A parametric similarity measure for neutrosophic set and its applications in energy production

As a useful tool for managing ambiguous and inconsistent data, the Single Value Neutrosophic Set (SVNSs) is an extension of both Fuzzy Sets (FSs) and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs). In the field of information theory, metrics like similar...
