The Derivation of 2D+1D Relativistic Kinematics in Projective Space with Time Cones

This article presents a foundational, bottom-up derivation of 2D+1D relativistic kinematics from within the basic primal projective space. Standard projective models of spacetime typically require six-dimensional Grassmannian or Plücker coordinates to track 1-dimensional particle...

Hybrid deep learning for smart grid SCADA intrusion detection with mutual information feature selection for smart meter data analysis

The rapid evolution of smart grid infrastructure has intensified the dependence on SCADA-based supervisory systems for real-time energy management, grid reliability monitoring, and seamless integration of renewable energy sources. However, the growing digitalization of these cybe...

A review of digital addiction as a predictor in ML-based academic performance prediction

The rapid growth of digital technologies has raised growing concerns about digital addiction and its potential impact on academic performance of students. Although machine learning (ML) techniques are widely employed to predict academic outcomes, the systematic integration of dig...

Catalytic and computational strategies for removing ECs from agricultural water systems

Emerging contaminants (ECs), including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, endocrine-disrupting compounds, and personal care products, have become increasingly prevalent in agricultural water systems due to intensified agricultural activities and expanding chemical usage. Their persiste...

Recyclable Material Flow and Market Dynamics in Secondary Transfer Stations in Dhaka, Bangladesh

This study investigates the flow and economic valuation of recyclable materials across fifteen Secondary Transfer Stations (STSs) in Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC), Bangladesh, with the aim of understanding how market dynamics influence material recovery and circular economy...
