The Cybersecurity Landscape in Industrial Control Systems

Industrial control systems (ICSs) are transitioning from legacy-electromechanical-based systems to modern information and communication technology (ICT)-based systems creating a close coupling between cyber and physical components. In this ...

Quantum Computing for Cybersecurity

This chapter explores the impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity, comparing classical and quantum techniques. It provides an overview of the current quantum landscape, focusing on the threats posed by quantum algorithms to traditional...

Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity Challenges for Businesses Resilience: Issues and Recommendations

This systematic literature review explores the digital transformation (DT) and cybersecurity implications for achieving business resilience. DT involves transitioning organizational processes to IT solutions, which can result in significant...

A general regression neural network

A memory-based network that provides estimates of continuous variables and converges to the underlying (linear or nonlinear) regression surface is described. The general regression neural network (GRNN) is a one-pass learning algorithm with...

Quantum Entanglement in Neural Network States

Machine learning has recently gained attention as a possible way to understand phase transitions in many-body quantum systems. A new entanglement analysis reveals crucial properties of the data structures that encode quantum states in a neu...

Spin-glass models of neural networks

Two dynamical models, proposed by Hopfield and Little to account for the collective behavior of neural networks, are analyzed. The long-time behavior of these models is governed by the statistical mechanics of infinite-range Ising spin-glas...

PG-MACO Optimization Method for Ship Pipeline Layout

Aimed at the problem of low efficiency of ship pipeline design, an optimization method of pipeline layout is proposed. An optimization mathematical model is established by comprehensively considering the engineering background of safety, ec...

Advances and perspectives for receiver function imaging of the Earth's internal discontinuities and velocity structures

Studying the structures, properties and origins of the Earth's internal discontinuities is an important part in the efforts to understand the physical and chemical properties of the layered Earth, as well as to explore the dynamic processes...

Prediction of Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition on Ablative Rough Surfaces of Deep Space Reentry Capsules

In order to improve aerodynamic deceleration efficiency, deep space reentry capsules generally adopt large blunt windward shape and ablative heat protection system. However, factors such as the flat forebody shape and the sharp increase in ...

Electroweak monopoles and the electroweak phase transition

Abstract We consider an isolated electroweak monopole solution within the Standard Model with a nonlinear Born–Infeld extension of the hypercharge gauge field. Monopole (and dyon) solutions in such an extension are regular and their masses ...

Polarized Multiwavelength Emission from Pulsar Wind—Accretion Disk Interaction in a Transitional Millisecond Pulsar

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) bridge the evolutionary gap between accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond radio pulsars. These systems exhibit a unique subluminous X-ray state characterized by the prese...

Analytically Computing the Moments of a Conic Combination of Independent Noncentral Chi-Square Random Variables and Its Application for the Extended Cox–Ingersoll–Ross Process with Time-Varying Dimension

This paper focuses mainly on the problem of computing the γth, γ>0, moment of a random variable Yn:=∑i=1nαiXi in which the αi’s are positive real numbers and the Xi’s are independent and distributed according to noncentral chi-square distri...

Evaluation of the implementation of International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision for morbidity coding: Rationale and study protocol

International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) has been used for many years in many countries to manage health information. The World Health Organization (WHO) will soon replace ICD-...

A Pythagorean Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping Approach for Iran’s Electricity Sustainability as a Case Study for Developing Economies

Transition to renewable electricity faces diverse challenges, the systemic interdependencies of which are still underexplored. This study applies a Pythagorean Fuzzy Cognitive Map (PFCM) to analyze and prioritize challenges of transitioning...

An Adaptive Architecture for Long Term Energy Programme Management

Climate change, population growth, changing energy consumption patterns and the advent of feasible renewable energy sources has prompted governments worldwide to set targets for carbon emission reductions. The transition to a ‘near zero emi...

Renewable energy and geopolitics: A review

This article reviews the literature on the geopolitics of renewable energy. It finds that while the roots of this literature can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s, most of it has been published from 2010 onwards. The following aggregate...
