Post-quantum lightweight cryptographic algorithm for secure real-time decision-making in distributed optimization networks

Abstract The imminent threat posed by quantum computing to classical cryptographic systems necessitates the development of quantum-resistant, efficient, and scalable encryption techniques, especially for real-time distributed optimization networks critical to national infrastruct...

Experimental mechanical performance and optimized micromechanical modeling of almond and pistachio bio-waste-reinforcement glass-epoxy composites

The increasing need for sustainable and economical composite materials is driving interest in replacing traditional synthetic fillers with eco-friendly, bio-based reinforcements. The cumulative effects of agricultural waste microparticles, particle size, post-curing processes, ma...

Phytochemical characterization and preliminary antimicrobial evaluation of a mono- and sesquiterpene-rich essential oil of Salvia limbata C.A.Mey.

Understanding how chemotype and geographic origin influence essential oil composition and bioactivity is crucial for the identification of new plant-derived antimicrobials. In this study, the essential oil obtained from aerial parts of Salvia limbata C.A.Mey., collected in May 20...
