A Covert &#x03B1;-Stable Noise-Based Extended Random Communication by Incorporating Multiple Inverse Systems by Areeb Ahmed, Zoran Bosnic

“…By spreading the tasks of encoding and decoding across various inverse systems, the suggested approach raises the difficulty level for eavesdroppers in retrieving the hidden stream of a binary message without the knowledge of ERCS parameters that are pre-shared solely between the intended receiver and transmitter. The results from Monte Carlo simulations show that deploying the proposed ERCS not only leads to better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance but also provides increased covertness values, which proves the design&#x2019;s ability to enhance performance and security compared to earlier models. …”

Numerical simulation of MHD Sakiadis flows of convectively heated thixotropic nanofluids in a porous medium using revised transport laws and Wakif-Buongiorno's model by A. Wakif

“…Due to the particular inability of Fourier's and Fick's laws in the realistic quantification of transfer processes that can occur certainly within a flowing biphasic mixture, on the one hand, and the explanation of the memory relaxation features of such a non-homogenous medium, on the other hand, the present scrutinization intends to propose a representative biphasic flow model to reveal the principal demeanors of convectively heated thixotropic nanofluids during their steady two-dimensional flows in the laminar regime over a stretching planar geometry in a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium under the magnetic impact of an external electromagnetic device. …”
