Machine Learning and Blockchain in Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading: A Cross-Layer Review of Functional Roles, Market Operation, Trust, and Privacy

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading combines local energy resources, market coordination, data-driven decisions, and transaction management. This review examines how machine learning (ML) and blockchain are used across these functions and separates market and ledger processes from...

Selective separation of Li from Mg rich brine using supported betaine ionic liquid membranes with ultrasonic assisted forward osmosis process

The increasing global demand for lithium (Li + ) in energy storage systems requires effective and selective extraction methods from complicated, magnesium-rich brines. This study investigates the design, characterization, and performance optimization of supported ionic liquid mem...

Attention driven reinforcement guided U Net for reliable SAR image segmentation with uncertainty estimation

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is widely used for flood monitoring, oil spill detection, and coastal mapping. However, automatic SAR image segmentation remains challenging due to speckle noise, low signal-to-clutter ratio, and ambiguous object boundaries. To address these...

A Serre-type theorem for Krull domains

In this paper we show that an integral domain $D$ is a Krull domain if and only if $D$ is a Mori domain, $D$ satisfies Serre's condition $(R_1)$ and every associated prime of a principal ideal has height one.

RAVA: a robust recurrent active vision agent for plant disease diagnosis under severe environmental noise

Abstract Deep learning models have achieved near-perfect accuracy in plant disease classification within controlled laboratory settings; however, their deployment in real-world agricultural environments is severely hindered by the “deployment gap”—a critical vulnerability to envi...

Inorganic hole-transport layer engineering for high-efficiency Mg2Mn3O8 solar cells: a multiphysics simulation study

Abstract We carry out a comprehensive numerical investigation to evaluate the influence of various hole transport layers (HTLs) on the performance of FTO/TiO 2 /Mg 2 Mn 3 O 8 /HTL/Ag solar cells. Five HTLs, PEDOT:PSS, P3HT, Spiro-OMeTAD, Cu 2 O, and MoO 3 , were examined through...

Deep learning-based behavioral pattern extraction from transit station videos modeling structural gender differences using CNN and Vision Transformers

Urban transit stations are among the most behaviorally complex environments in public transport systems, yet planners still lack scalable methods for converting continuous video observations into interpretable, planning-relevant behavioral evidence. Existing transportation resear...

Activated carbon production from apple orchard woody waste using a fluidized bed reactor with freezing pretreatment to establish a local circular economy system

Waste is always associated with all activities, and world population growth has caused a significant increase in its production ratio. Improper management of this material can have serious consequences for the environment and; consequently, human life. Agricultural activities are...

Typology of transit-oriented development to promote sustainable urban structure

<title>Abstract</title> Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has emerged as a transformative strategy in sustainable urban planning, aiming to integrate land use and public transportation to foster compact, walkable, and mixed-use communities centered around high-capacity transit s...

Are oral hygiene behaviors associated with lower stroke risk? A systematic review

This study aims to systematically synthesize observational evidence on the association between oral hygiene behaviors, including tooth brushing, interdental cleaning, dental visits, and professional dental cleaning, and stroke risk in adults. A PRISMA-compliant systematic review...

Modulatory effects of branched-chain amino acid supplementation on neuroendocrine disturbances following traumatic brain injury in rats

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently accompanied by neuroendocrine disturbances involving the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis and vitamin D–calcium–phosphorus homeostasis. Despite increasing interest in nutritional strategies after TBI, the effects of branched-cha...

Expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs ROCR, CFLAR-AS1, ST7-AS1, and ST7-AS2 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a case-control study focusing on GCB and non-GCB subtypes

Abstract Background Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is subdivided into the Germinal Center B-cell (GCB) and non-Germinal Center B-cell (non-GCB)/Activated B-cell (ABC) subtypes, with significant clinical, phenotypic, and genetic variability. Investigating DLBCL’s molecular...
