Measurement and analysis of diesel exhaust particulates based on light scattering by LU Yeqiang, SHI Yunbin, SUN Zai, SONG Yijin, LOU Xiaochun

“…Based on this, this article proposes to measure diameter spectrum and concentration of PMs in DETG, using LSM.By calculating the numerical relationship between parameters like dimensionless parameter x, acceptance angle of scattered light θ, diameter D and intensity of scattered light I_s, as well as the numerical relationship between acceptance solid angle of scattered light β and flux F, this article obtained a theoretical basis for measuring diameter and concentration of PMs in DETG using LSM.1) With the increase of D, I_s increased significantly and the distribution fluctuated more drastically with θ. …”

Quantum secured blockchain framework for enhancing post quantum data security by Nalavala Ramanjaneya Reddy, Supriya Suryadevara, K. Guru Raghavendra Reddy, Ramisetty Umamaheswari, Ramakrishna Guttula, Rajitha Kotoju

“…Abstract Quantum computing is an evolution of classical computing, capable of solving problems that are competitive enough to break the existing cryptographic primitives upon which current blockchain systems are based. Popular schemes like RSA, ECDSA, and SHA-256 can be compromised by quantum algorithms (Shor’s and Grover’s), raising questions about the security and trustworthiness of blockchain-based applications in finance, healthcare, and supply chains. …”
