Abstract Hybrid nanofluids have gained significant attention for their superior thermal and rheological characteristics, offering immense potential in energy conversion, biomedical transport, and electromagnetic flow control systems. Understanding their dynamic behavior under coupled magnetic, rotational, and reactive effects is crucial for the development of efficient thermal management technologies. This study develops a neuro-fuzzy computational framework to examine the dynamics of a reactive Cu–TiO₂–H₂O hybrid nanofluid flowing through a squarely elevated Riga tunnel. The governing model incorporates Hall and ion-slip effects, thermal radiation, and first-order chemical reactions under ramped thermo-solutal boundary conditions and rotational electromagnetic forces.

Abstract Problem: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into cybersecurity, while enhancing threat detection, is hampered by the “black box” nature of complex models, eroding trust, accountability, and regulatory compliance. Explainable AI (XAI) aims to resolve this opacity but introduces a critical new vulnerability: the adversarial exploitation of model explanations themselves. Gap: Current research lacks a comprehensive synthesis of this dual role of XAI in cybersecurity—as both a tool for transparency and a potential attack vector. There is a pressing need to systematically analyze the trade-offs between interpretability and security, evaluate defense mechanisms, and outline a… More >

Abstract A phase-aware cross-modal framework is presented that synthesizes UWF_FA from non-invasive UWF_RI for diabetic retinopathy (DR) stratification. A curated cohort of 1198 patients (2915 UWF_RI and 17,854 UWF_FA images) with strict registration quality supports training across three angiographic phases (initial, mid, final). The generator is based on a modified pix2pixHD with an added Gradient Variance Loss to better preserve microvasculature, and is evaluated using MAE, PSNR, SSIM, and MS-SSIM on held-out pairs. Quantitatively, the mid phase achieves the lowest MAE (98.76 ± 42.67), while SSIM remains high across phases. Expert review shows substantial agreement (Cohen’s More >

Abstract The integration of renewable energy sources into electricity markets presents significant challenges due to the inherent variability and uncertainty of power generation from wind, solar, and other renewables. Accurate forecasting is crucial for ensuring grid stability, optimizing market operations, and minimizing economic risks. This paper introduces a hybrid forecasting framework incorporating fractional-order statistical models, fractal-based feature engineering, and deep learning architectures to improve renewable energy forecasting accuracy. Fractional autoregressive integrated moving average (FARIMA) and fractional exponential smoothing (FETS) models are explored for capturing long-memory dependencies in energy time-series data. Additionally, multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) More >

Abstract The analysis of the dynamics of surface girders is of great importance in the design of engineering structures such as steel welded bridge plane girders or concrete plate-column structures. This work is an extension of the classical deterministic problem of free vibrations of thin (Kirchhoff) plates. The main aim of this work is the study of stochastic eigenvibrations of thin (Kirchhoff) elastic plates resting on internal continuous and column supports by the Boundary Element Method (BEM). This work is a continuation of previous research related to the random approach in plate analysis using the BEM.… More >

Abstract The combination of two-step synthesis processes is employed for the fabrication of (NiO)(_0.5)/(Fe₂O₃)(_0.5)@C@MoS₂ (NFCM) nanofibers composite through electrospinning and hydrothermal techniques. This nanofiber composite is designed for tunable dielectric materials and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. Using impedance spectroscopy, the electrical properties of an NFCM pellet are analyzed using an equivalent circuit model (R₁1<), with a primary focus on the variation of relaxation time with frequency at different temperatures. Utilizing the Mott. variable range hopping (MVRH) model, and small polaronic hopping model, the localization length of the hoping carriers is determined to be 0.98 Å and More >

Abstract The evaporation technique fabricates solar cells using the Cu(In, Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) absorber. This technique has strong limitations in preparing this absorber in a large area, necessitating the electrodeposition technique. However, the morphology and crystallinity of this absorber need to be sufficiently adequate to guarantee proper collection of charge carriers since a cauliflower-type growth is favored. This underscores the need for modifications during the synthesis, thermal treatments, and post-synthesis to improve the morphology and crystallinity, a complex and significant aspect of our research. This work discusses the structural, atomic composition, morphological, and optical results obtained for samples More >

Abstract In this paper, the effect of sulfur substitution by arsenic on the structural, optical properties of thin films of the trivalent chalcogenide Se₆₆S_44-xAs_x at different concentrations (where x = 0, 8, 16, and 24 at %) was studied. Thin films with a thickness of (300±10 nm) were prepared using thermal evaporation of bulk samples. Structural examinations were performed using XRD and AFM techniques. All the studied film samples were amorphous in structure and the intensity of the crystalline parts was high in the range of 10-40. Also, in Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). It was found that… More >

Abstract In this study, high-crystallinity zinc sulfide (ZnS) at the nanoscale was synthesized using a combination of electrospinning and hydrothermal techniques. Initially, polyvinyl butyral (PVB)/ZnS composite nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning. Subsequently, a hydrothermal reaction was employed to induce a dissolution-recrystallization mechanism, enabling the gradual formation of highly crystalline ZnS nanoparticles. The structural, morphological, and compositional characteristics of the ZnS nanoparticles were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Finally, the photocatalytic activity of three different ZnS materials—synthesized via electrospinning, hydrothermal treatment, and hydrothermal-assisted electrospinning—were More >

Abstract Four Se₇₀Ge₂₀Sb₁₀ alloy samples were prepared using the melt quenching technique. To improve the energy states of the mobility gap, the samples were exposed to gamma radiation from 60Co source at various doses of 600, 1200, 1500, and 2000 Gy. The electrical characteristics were examined both before and after irradiation. The conductivity analysis revealed that all of our samples were impacted by gamma radiation. The reorganization of the amorphous lattice and the degree of radiation-induced disorder have been involved in the changes that occurred in the electrical characteristics of the irradiated samples. All irradiated and non-irradiated… More >
