Two-Party Quantum Private Comparison Protocol Based on Rotational Encryption by Min Hou, Yue Wu

“…By harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, we ensure robust protection against potential eavesdropping and participant attacks. In contrast to numerous existing QPC protocols that rely on multi-qubit or d-dimensional quantum states, our method exhibits superior efficiency and practicality. …”

Calculation of Free Energy Consumption in Gene Transcription with Complex Promoter Structure by Lifang Huang, Peijiang Liu, Kunwen Wen, Jianshe Yu

“…Then, we show that the numbers of the ON and OFF states of a promoter can reduce energy consumption of the gene system and the Fano factor of mRNA, and in contrast to other regulatory ways, the cooperative binding of transcription factors to DNA sites always reduces energy consumption but amplifies the mRNA noise. …”

Fast Hybrid Method for the Study on Monostatic Scattering from Plasma-Coated Target above a Rough Surface by Rui Wang, Shui-Rong Chai, Li-Xin Guo

“…Without numerical solution of the polarization currents on the target and the surface, this hybrid method does not only save computer resources but also improve the computing speed significantly in contrast to the numerical methods. The hybrid method based on equivalent principle and reciprocity theorem, which is an improved and generalized version of the traditional multipath technique, can deal with the interactions between plasma-coated target and underlying surface much more accurately. …”

Unsteady Electroosmotic Flow of Jeffrey Fluid in a Circular Microchannel under the Combined Action of Vertical Magnetic Field, External Electric Field, and Pressure at High Zeta Po... by Meirong Ren, Tiange Zhang, Jifeng Cui, Xiaogang Chen, Bixia Wu

“…The numerical solutions of the potential and velocity distributions are obtained by solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation, the constitutive equation of the Jeffrey fluid, and the Cauchy momentum equation applying the Chebyshev spectral method and the finite difference method. By contrast, the Chebyshev spectral method has higher accuracy and less computation. …”

Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized from Solanum elaeagnifolium and their Effect Against Mealybugs Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley by Worood A. Gorge, Mohammed F. Abood

“…The results showed that the highest relative efficiency in killing the insects at the first instar was 100% three days after treatment with nano seed extract, 84% at the third instar, and 75% for mealybug adults after seven days of treatment. In contrast, nano extract of nightshade leaves recorded a relative mortality efficiency of 91.6, 47.4 and 54.3% for the first and third nymph instars and the adults, respectively, and 97.1, 55.0 and 58.7% for the regular alcoholic seed extract after seven days of treatment. …”
