Enhanced Chaotic Pseudorandom Number Generation Using Multiple Bernoulli Maps with Field Programmable Gate Array Optimizations by Leonardo Palacios-Luengas, Reyna Carolina Medina-Ramírez, Ricardo Marcelín-Jiménez, Enrique Rodriguez-Colina, Francisco R. Castillo-Soria, Rubén Vázquez-Medina

“…Moreover, by incorporating a scaling factor and a sine function, we develop a robust chaotic map, called the Sine-Multiple Modified Bernoulli Chaotic Map (SM-MBCM), which ensures a high degree of randomness, validated through statistical mechanics analysis tools. Using the SM-MBCM, we propose a chaotic PRNG (CPRNG) and evaluate its quality through correlation coefficient analysis, key sensitivity tests, statistical and entropy analysis, key space evaluation, linear complexity analysis, and performance tests. …”

Sustainable Food Security in Romania and Neighboring Countries—Trends, Challenges, and Solutions by Teodor Ioan Trasca, Ioana Mihaela Balan, Gina Fintineru, Jeni Veronica Tiu, Nicoleta Mateoc-Sirb, Ciprian Ioan Rujescu

“…This study assesses Romania’s food security in relation to its neighbors using FAO-defined indicators for each of these four pillars. The analysis is based on the latest FAO data. It applies two complementary analytical methods: comparative analysis, which evaluates Romania’s food security indicators in relation to average values in neighboring countries, and statistical significance testing, using <i>One-sample t-tests</i> and <i>Wilcoxon signed-rank tests</i> to determine whether the observed differences are statistically significant. …”
