Hydrodynamic coarsening of bubbles in a dense liquid: A molecular dynamics perspective

We investigate the kinetics of bubble coarsening in a single-component Lennard-Jones fluid using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. A homogeneous high-temperature system is quenched below the vapor-liquid critical temperature to induce nucleation and growth of vapor bubb...

Privacy-preserving intrusion detection in mobile edge networks via federated adaptive probabilistic stacking with clan–flock optimisation and explainable AI

Mobile edge networks require intrusion detection systems (IDS) that are private, accurate and interpretable. We present FedAPS–CFO, a federated IDS coupling four mechanisms: prediction-level federated averaging (FedAvg), so raw traffic never leaves the edge; an Adaptive Probabili...

An empirical analysis of agricultural credit's impact on wheat productivity and farm income in India
