Abstract Existing deep learning Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) struggle to simultaneously capture fine-grained, multi-scale features and long-range temporal dependencies. To address this gap, this paper introduces TransNeSt, a hybrid architecture integrating a ResNeSt block (using split-attention for multi-scale feature representation) with a Transformer encoder (using self-attention for global temporal modeling). This integration of multi-scale and temporal attention was validated on four benchmarks: NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, CIC-IDS2017, and CICIOT2023. TransNeSt consistently outperformed its individual components and several state-of-the-art models, demonstrating significant quantitative gains. The model achieved high efficacy across all datasets, with F1-Scores of 99.04% (NSL-KDD), 91.92% More >

Abstract The increase in energy crisis and environmental concerns are now considering as major hurdle in way to sustainability and clean energy solution. Metal sulfides have been investigated for the fabrication of energy conversion ad storage devices to overcome the effect of energy demand. In this concern, a microemulsion mediated hydrothermal method was employed for the successful synthesis of pure Co₄S₃ and Ce₂S₃-Co₄S₃ binary nanocomposite materials. This study was investigated for Supercapacitor application using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The scanning electron microscope analysis of composite material showed compact smooth morphology with strong interparticle interactions. The More >

Abstract Ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has received extensive attention from scholars and engineers due to its excellent mechanical properties and durability. However, there is a mutually restrictive relationship between the workability and mechanical properties of UHPFRC. Specifically, the addition of fibers will affect the workability of fresh UHPFRC, and the workability of fresh UHPFRC will also affect the dispersion and arrangement of fibers, thus significantly influencing the mechanical properties of hardened UHPFRC. This paper first analyzes the research status of UHPFRC and the relationship between its workability and mechanical properties. Subsequently, it outlines the test… More >

Abstract Metadata prefetching and data placement play a critical role in enhancing access performance for file systems operating over wide-area networks. However, developing effective strategies for metadata prefetching in environments with concurrent workloads and for data placement across distributed networks remains a significant challenge. This study introduces novel and efficient methodologies for metadata prefetching and data placement, leveraging fine-grained control of prefetching strategies and variable-sized data fragment writing to optimize the I/O bandwidth of distributed file systems. The proposed metadata prefetching technique employs dynamic workload analysis to identify dominant workload patterns and adaptively refines prefetching policies, More >

Abstract The design principles for conventional reinforced concrete structures have gradually transitioned to seismic-resistant design since the 1970s. However, until recently, the implementation of strength capacity and ductility design has not been rigorously enforced in many developing countries that are prone to seismic risks. Numerous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of joint behavior based on both ductile and non-ductile designs under cyclic loading. Previous research has demonstrated that enhancing joint regions with Ultra-High Performance Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPSFRC) significantly improves the seismic resistance of structural components. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the considerable… More >

Abstract As the integration of electronic components in high-performance servers increases, heat generation significantly impacts performance and raises failure rates. Therefore, heat dissipation has become a critical concern in electronic circuit design. This study uses numerical simulations to investigate the heat dissipation characteristics of electronic components in air-cooled servers. By adjusting airflow speed, heat sink configurations, and the arrangement of straight-fin heat sinks, we optimize heat dissipation performance and analyze the mechanisms at different airflow speeds. The results show that, at the same airflow speed, the temperature of the heat sink is lower than that of… More >

Abstract The device which combines the outcomes supercapacitor (SC) and battery is known as supercapattery. Due to their high conductivity, sensitivity, and storage capacity, carbon nanotubes have drawn attention in energy storage (EES) applications. To achieve highperformance supercapattery, this study used an electrode based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and manganese magnesium sulfide (MnMgS). It showed 963 C/g specific capacity which is significantly greater than the reference sample's value of 1 A/g. The supercapattery is engineered using the CNT-doped MnMgS electrode (MnMgS/CNT//AC), which has a specific capacity (C_s) of 268 Cg^-1 at 1 Ag^-1 current density. A significantly higher More >

Abstract Lignin-derived porous carbons have emerged as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors. However, the challenge remains in designing and controlling their structure to achieve ideal electrochemical performance due to the complex molecular structure of lignin and its intricate chemical reactions during the activation process. In this study, three porous carbons were synthesized from lignin by spray drying and chemical activation with varying KOH ratios. The specific surface area and structural order of the prepared porous carbon continued to increase with the increase of the KOH ratio. Thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry (TG-MS) was employed to track the molecular fragments More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a widely accepted standard for parallel computing on distributed memory systems. However, MPI implementations can contain defects that impact the reliability and performance of parallel applications. Detecting and correcting these defects is crucial, yet there is a lack of published models specifically designed for correcting MPI defects. To address this, we propose a model for detecting and correcting MPI defects (DC_MPI), which aims to detect and correct defects in various types of MPI communication, including blocking point-to-point (BPTP), nonblocking point-to-point (NBPTP), and collective communication (CC). The defects addressed by… More >
