Adopting pile-raft foundations for large structures is advantageous over conventional pile foundations owing to their reduced differential settlements. The structural behaviour of this pile-raft foundation system depends ...

During a weak geomagnetic storm (Ap = 15) on 24 December 2014, the penetration electric field perturbations over the Indian dip equatorial sector are found to be anomalous on a number of occasions during postsunset hours. ...

Wastewater management has emerged as an uprising concern that demands immediate attention from environmentalists worldwide. Indiscriminate and irrational release of industrial and poultry wastes, sewage, pharmaceuticals, ...

This paper introduces a new technique of color image encryption that includes four stages of bit interspersing and a 4D-hyperchaotic system. At first, the pixel values for different RGB channels of a plane color image were ...

One of the most extensively utilized mechanisms for person authentication is a system built using biometric-based authentication. However, many applications use biometric authentication devices that do not support any ...

A framework based on a class of Abelian gauge symmetries is proposed in which the masses of only the third generation quarks and leptons arise at the tree level. The fermions of the first and second families receive their ...

A comprehensive investigation of physical, optical, and chemical characteristics of columnar aerosols over two locations with distinct environmental settings in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) region, namely, Kanpur (urban ...

Black Carbon (BC) is an important constituent of both aquatic and terrestrial environment, but also has several adverse effects on human health, aquatic life, and contributes to the global climate change. Thus, to understand ...

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves which can be produced by spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced ...

We investigate the equatorial deflection angle of light rays propagating in Kerr-Newman black-bounce spacetime. Furthermore, we analyze the light ray trajectories and derive a closed-form formula for deflection angle in ...
