The untreated natural fiber reinforced polymer composites limited their broader structural applications due to their limited mechanical performance and poor interfacial adhesion. To counteract this, the tensile strength of modified banana fiber reinforced epoxy composites incorporated with nano-silica (SiO2) at different concentrations of 0.5 to 3 wt
This study aims on the development and evaluation of cisplatin-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) modified with folate (FA) and boron to enhance targeted drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. FA and boron were employed as targeting ligands, while aldehyde sodium alginate (ASA) was used as a stabilizing modifier to improve the surface activity and stability of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles synthesized via chemical co-precipitation. FA and boron were activated through interaction with NHS-PEG-NHS, through non-covalent chemical bonding, forming stable and water-soluble complexes. ASA was combined to Fe3O4 NPs after FA-PEG linkage via Schiff base formation. Subsequent substitution of chloride in cisplatin with the hydroxyl group of ASA yielded FA- and ASAmodified CIS-FA-ASA-MNPs, along with boron-coated counterparts. MTT assays demonstrated that cisplatinloaded NPs significantly reduced cancer cell viability compared to other formulations, with CIS-loaded boroncoated NPs exhibiting pronounced cytotoxicity even at lower doses. The IC50 value of CIS-loaded boron-coated NPs (0.61 mu g/mL) was markedly lower than that of CIS-loaded FA-coated NPs (0.65 mu g/mL) and free cisplatin (1.25 mu g/mL), confirming superior anticancer potential. Enhanced apoptosis was observed due to improved nanocarrier internalization by CIS-loaded boron-coated NPs. These results highlight the promise of boron-coated, cisplatin-loaded NPs as a targeted therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer. The enhanced cytotoxicity compared with conventional formulations is attributed to improved cellular uptake and controlled drug release. Further in vivo and biological studies are warranted to validate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of this novel delivery system.
The application of PQC in IoT systems with constrained resources poses a security-efficiency trade-off. Although PQC, such as ML-KEM, achieves security in the presence of quantum attacks, the constant application of PQC in IoT systems leads to considerable computational costs. The present study introduces a trust-based risk-adaptive PQC authentication framework. Instead of applying PQC in all cases of communication, the proposed frame- work allows constrained IoT devices to operate in a light- weight symmetric authentication mode. The constrained IoT devices perform PQC-based re- authentications only when the trust level falls below a predetermined threshold. The trust model considers weighted factors with temporal filtering to avoid oscillating trust. The performance of the proposed trust-based risk-adaptive PQC authentication framework is tested with $\mathbf{1 0, 0 0 0}$ simulated transmissions. The results show a $\mathbf{6 9 \%}$ reduction in the energy costs of PQC with considerable detection effectiveness. The sensitivity analysis of the proposed trust-based risk-adaptive PQC authentication framework reveals the optimal threshold for operation, which achieves the security-efficiency trade-off.
Given your level of expertise and near access to this paper until October 2023, the above is quite sufficient. Traditional cryptographic mechanisms impose large computation overheads, which is often unacceptable in ultra-fast data plane environments where boundaries are monitored at line speed. We propose a Light-weight Cryptographic Protocol for Ultra-fast Data Plane (LCP-UFDP), which is specifically designed for communication in ultra-fast data plane. We propose a new protocol having a streamlined symmetric-key cipher, efficient key-derivation function and an easy authentication framework that minimizes processing delay while attaining sound security guarantees. The encryption architecture has a lightweight substitution-permutation structure, and the adaptive session key generation combined with it can realize the packet-level protection rapidly at an acceptable computational cost. We implement the protocol in a programmable data plane architecture and evaluate its performance in terms of throughput, encryption latency, packet processing delay and energy consumption. Experimental results show that the proposed protocol reduces cryptographic processing latency by up to 42% and increases throughput by 37%, compared with conventional AES security frameworks while providing strong protection against replay, spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks. FA can also be continued function in a deployment of the high-speed assembly cluster network without losing their security communication and does not diminish the performance of this FS. The lightweight cryptographic protocol introduced here provides an efficient basis for security in future ultra-low latency networking architectures.
The transition toward a circular economy requires intelligent systems capable of redesigning traditional linear supply chains into regenerative value networks. This chapter explores AI-enabled circular economy models that integrate advanced analytics, machine learning, IoT, and predictive optimization to enhance resource efficiency, waste minimization, and sustainable value creation. By embedding artificial intelligence across procurement, production, distribution, consumption, and reverse logistics, organizations can achieve real-time visibility, predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, and automated material recovery. The study develops a conceptual framework linking AI capabilities with circular business strategies, sustainable supply chain performance, and long-term competitive advantage. It also examines governance, ethical, and technological challenges associated with AI-driven sustainability transformation.
