TRUST-SC: truthful multi-task double auction for quality-aware spatial crowdsourcing in strategic environment

Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) enables the assignment of location-based tasks to mobile users who must travel to specific locations to perform sensing or service activities. However, SC systems often operate in strategic environments where both task requesters and task executors poss...

Carbon Quantum Dot-Modifiedg-C3N5 and g-C3N4 Nanocompositesfor Sunlight-Driven Wastewater Remediation

Abstract Carbon quantum dot (CQD)-modified carbon nitride nanocomposites have emerged as promising sunlight photocatalysts for wastewater remediation owing to their tunable electronic structures and efficient charge-transfer properties. Herein, CQD-modified g-C3N4 (N4Q) and g-C3N...

XP-IDS: an explainable hybrid CNN–XGBoost framework for IoT intrusion detection

Abstract The rapid growth of IoT-enabled technologies and interconnected smart devices has significantly increased security risks associated with poorly protected and resource-constrained IoT environments. Efficient anomaly detection mechanisms can help mitigate these threats by...

Floral biomass as a platform for next-generation nanostructured materials: A review

Floral biomass, an underutilized and seasonally abundant biowaste, has recently emerged as a promising sustainable precursor for the synthesis of nanostructured materials. Rich in carbonaceous compounds, natural pigments, and heteroatom-containing biomolecules, floral residues en...
