Substrate, temperature, and magnetic field dependence of electric polarization in mixed-stacking tetralayer graphenes by Patrick Johansen Sarsfield, Aitor Garcia-Ruiz (艾飛宇), Vladimir I. Fal'ko

“…We analyze their temperature and magnetic field dependence, in view of understanding the origin of the recently measured Kelvin probe force microscopy maps of tetralayer flakes [S. S. Atri et al.Adv. Phys. Res. 3, 2300095 (2023)10.1002/apxr.202300095], and notice that the intrinsic contribution could be singled out based on magnetic field dependence of polarization measured at low temperatures.…”

Extremum Modified First Zagreb Connection Index of n-Vertex Trees with Fixed Number of Pendent Vertices by Sadia Noureen, Akhlaq Ahmad Bhatti, Akbar Ali

“…The modified first Zagreb connection index ZC1∗ is a graph invariant that appeared about fifty years ago within a study of molecular modeling, and after a long time, it has been revisited in two papers ((Ali and Trinajstić, 2018) and (Naji et al., 2017)) independently. For a graph G, this graph invariant is defined as ZC1∗G=∑v∈VGdvτv, where dv is the degree of the vertex v and τv is the connection number of v (that is, the number of vertices having distance 2 from v). …”

The Parameter Reduction of Fuzzy Soft Sets Based on Soft Fuzzy Rough Sets by Zhiming Zhang

“…Fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, and soft set theory are three effective mathematical tools for dealing with uncertainties and have many wide applications both in theory and practise. Meng et al. (2011) introduced the notion of soft fuzzy rough sets by combining fuzzy sets, rough sets, and soft sets all together. …”

New chameleon Hashing of secure and privacy-preserving vehicular communications by Jian-hong ZHANG, Wei-na ZHEN, Jian-cheng ZOU

“…Many services and applications in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) require preserving and secure data communications.To improve driving safety and comfort,the traffic-related status information will be broadcasted regularly and shared among drivers.Without the security and privacy guarantee,attackers could track their interested vehicles by collecting and analyzing their traffic messages.Hence,anonymous message authentication is an essential requirement of VANET.On the other hand,when a vehicle is involved in a dispute event of warning message,the certificate authority should be able to recover the real identity of this vehicle.To deal with this issue,Guo,et al proposed a new privacy-preserving authentication protocol with authority traceability using elliptic curve based chameleon Hashing.Although this scheme has vehicle identification traceability and high computational efficiency than the previous plan,but analysis shows that the scheme does not meet the anonymity.The security of Guo's scheme is analyzed and improvement is made based on Guo’s protocol.…”
