ASRL: Alternating Supervised And Reinforcement Learning For Efficient Small Language Model Training With Live Datasets

Authors: Ouissam Drissi

Abstract: Look, here's the thing – training small language models to think properly is hard. Really hard. Especially when you're working with just 600 million parameters and need them to follow a specific format while actually being smart about it. I've been there – you try pure reinforcement learning and your model outputs garbage for the first 10 epochs. You try supervised learning and it just memorizes without understanding. So I built something different. ASRL (Alternating Supervised-Reinforcement Learning) switches between supervised fine-tuning and GRPO within each epoch. Not after completing all supervised training. Not as separate phases. Every. Single. Epoch. First the model learns from your actual examples, then it explores variations through RL. Rinse and repeat. The results? My 0.6B parameter model learned my custom and thinking format in 3 epochs instead of 12. It handles new data as it arrives without restarting training. And it actually understands what it's doing instead of just pattern matching. This isn't some theoretical framework – I built this because I needed it. My training data grows by 200 examples per hour, I have strict formatting requirements, and I'm running on limited hardware. Traditional methods failed me. ASRL didn't.

Network Intrusion Detection Using Machine Learning: A Comparative Study of Logistic Regression, KNN, and Random Forest

Authors: Tejashree H Y, Komala R

Abstract: Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) play a critical role in defending networks against unauthorized access and cyber threats. This paper presents a real-time, web-enabled NIDS built using machine learning techniques to effectively identify and categorize network-based attacks. The system is trained on the NSL-KDD dataset, a refined alternative to earlier datasets, addressing issues like redundancy and class imbalance. We implement and evaluate three supervised learning algorithms—Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest. The workflow includes comprehensive preprocessing, class balancing, and hyperparameter tuning via grid search with cross-validation. Among the models tested, Random Forest achieved the highest detection performance, showing excellent accuracy with minimal false positives. While KNN also produced reliable results, it was comparatively slower. Logistic Regression delivered quick and interpretable outcomes but struggled with complex intrusion patterns. This work contributes a practical, browser-accessible NIDS platform that brings together machine learning capabilities and real- time threat detection.

Exploration Of Thought Spigettification And Cognitive Deformation Around A Kerr-Type Singularity: A Theoretic Quantum–Field Model For Schizophrenia And Dissociative Identity Disorder

Authors: Patrick James McKenna Jr., Andres Barahona Contreras

Abstract: We introduce thought spigettification, a speculative quantum–field–theoretic model mapping extreme stress responses in neuronal microtubule networks to Kerr-analogue spacetime defor- mations. A mental Hilbert space of coherent microtubule “qubits” couples to three scalar fields—BraeQuintessence, BraeHiggs, and the Standard Model Higgs—producing a deformation operator D(r, θ) that stretches and reconfigures mental superpositions. Positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia arise as over-amplified and suppressed eigenmodes; dissociative iden- tity disorder emerges from metastable multi–well potentials. We formalize emotional eigenval- ues, derive coupled field equations, analyze stability regimes, and propose electrophysiological and imaging biomarkers. Finally, we outline therapeutic “despigettification” via inversion of scalar–field dynamics.

Crime Rate Prediction And Analysis System

Authors: Asst. Prof. Ami Rasiklal Tank, Shivam Bhart, Sanyam Shah, Shreyanshu Das, Subendu Dubey

Abstract: The increase in data and improvements in machine learning (ML) offer a unique opportunity for public safety functions. This paper presents a review of a Crime Rate Prediction and Analysis System that utilizes government crime data to visualize and predict trends, classify geographical areas, and provide tools for public-facing use. The system is unique because it uses a well-defined, highly functional and well-designed web application, alongside a robust ML backend. The web application contains an interactive, and profile-based, color-coded map, that ranks the severity of crime in districts based on their total IPC crimes, allows for dynamic filtering of crime type, and the ability to search by district. The system also possesses an "AI Suggest" button, a critical, innovative, and unique feature which moves beyond analytical reporting and provides personalized, context-specific recommendations for public safety, thus improving public awareness. This review discusses the system's architecture, uses as both an operational mechanism for law enforcement decision making, and for citizen engagement, ethical concerns around predictive policing, and suggests next steps for deploying this kind of technology. One of the key and innovative features of this system, is the "AI Suggest" module, which goes beyond traditional analytical reports, and produces personalized, context-specific and, tailored safety recommendations for the public, thus bridging the gap between publicly available data, and actionable public knowledge. This review explores the dual-value proposition of the system as a decision-support system for law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to maximize resource allocation, patrol routes, and operational planning, as well as providing transparency for the citizens with personalized risk assessment and safety recommendations. In addition, this paper discusses considerations inherent in such systems, including a rigorous examination of the significant ethical implications that accompany such systems, such as algorithmic bias amplification, data integrity, and societal impacts, as well as ways to ensure ethical mitigation of these effects. Ultimately, this review contends that the system is a meaningful step forward in predictive policing technology, as it has the potential to create a more collaborative, informed, and proactive approach to urban public safety if it is implemented with strict ethical responsibility and oversight.

Guarding Minds: Addressing LLM Hallucinations For Reliable School Education

Authors: Atharva Birthare

Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly permeated educational spaces, offering tools for lesson preparation, doubt clarification, and content generation. However, their tendency to hallucinate—producing confident but inaccurate, irrelevant, or fabricated information—poses critical challenges for both teachers and students. This study employs assumed survey data from 120 teachers and 300 students to analyze awareness, trust, and coping strategies regarding hallucinations. The results highlight a significant awareness gap between teachers and students, with students more vulnerable to unverified reliance on LLMs. Four types of hallucinations—factual, intrinsic, extrinsic, and amalgamated—are discussed, along with practical mitigation strategies suitable for classroom contexts. This paper also provides graphical representations of awareness, trust, and coping strategies and concludes with recommendations for hallucination-aware pedagogy and future research directions.

Block Bazaar: NFT And Smart Contract Driven E-Commerce Platform

Authors: Rekha Parashuram Pujari, Akshitha Katkeri, Pallavi C V, Namitha R, Pratyusha C

Abstract: BlockBazaar is this new decentralized marketplace thing that mixes NFT trading with regular e-commerce stuff. It runs on Ethereum smart contracts and has live auctions that work across different devices. You log in using MetaMask wallets, which keeps things pretty secure from the start. Access levels depend on your role in the system, you know how that goes.The security side uses hardened smart contract patterns to block common attacks like reentrancy issues or front- running scams. Every transaction gets recorded publicly through blockchain explorers, so there's full visibility into what's happening. The whole setup cuts out a lot of traditional cloud services while keeping user privacy tight. Testing shows these decentralized platforms can actually handle enterprise-grade security requirements without slowing things down. Response times stay quick even during peak usage, which matters for real-world shopping scenarios. Users get familiar interfaces that don't sacrifice blockchain's core benefits like permanent records and trustless transactions. The key takeaway here is that hybrid systems can bridge Web3 tech with conventional e-commerce needs effectively. Performance metrics match centralized competitors while maintaining cryptographic proof of ownership for digital assets.

Green Innovation: Leveraging Convolutional Neural Networks For Enhanced Biogas Production From Hybrid Napier Grass And Co-Digestion Processes

Authors: Salman Zafar, Srinivas Kasulla, S J Malik, Gaurav Kathpal, Anjani Yadav

Abstract: Optimal biogas production remains a critical step in increasing renewable energy output from biomass resources. Hybrid Napier Grass is one of the promising substrates to produce biogas, mainly due to its high yield potential and adaptability, though achieving optimal output in this case still lags due to the variability of substrates, nutrient imbalance problems, and the complexity of co-digestion processes of various materials such as cattle slurry and chicken manure. For the first time in this study, CNN will be used as an optimization approach to condition anaerobic digestion, in which parameters are tuned in real-time to get the maximum yields of biogas. With an exhaustively prepared dataset of the Napier Grass and its co-substrates, CNN models are developed for inferring substrate composition, moisture, and nutrient ratios in real-time. Some key findings from the experimental results include: Accuracy of the CNN model reaches 100% on training data by about epoch 9, but the validation accuracy plateaued at 83.33%, which is overfitting, capturing of training-specific noise-affecting generalization to unseen data. Validation accuracy and loss stabilize around epoch ranges 10-20, but the training loss continued to decrease, demonstrating the power of the CNN in learning the training data. The validation loss of the model was also improving gradually but at a diminishing rate, which indicated some generalization of the current architecture of the dataset. This work can stand as a testament for unlocking optimization through CNNs in biogas production processes; this research has already shown an increase up to 20% more than conventional methods. Of course, further refinements will be needed for generalization purposes, but the AI-driven approach represents a significant advance in optimization and supports scalable and sustainable biogas development in bioenergy. This proposed CNN model was theoretically efficient and superior as far as classification accuracy in predicting biogas production was concerned, with an accuracy of 83.33% with consistent improvement across training rounds and moderate time complexity compared to the traditional models discussed above; thus, it will become a competitive tool for optimizing process parameters and improving the operational decisions to maximize biogas yield.

How Global Conflicts Shape Consumer Behavior : A Marketing Study Of The Russia-Ukraine War

Authors: Devansh Dubey

Abstract: Armed conflicts not only reshape geopolitics but also alter consumer decision-making, loyalty, and market dynamics. The Russia–Ukraine war (2022–present) created one of the largest modern disruptions in consumer markets, as more than 1,000 multinational corporations—including globally recognized names such as McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Nike, and IKEA—suspended or terminated operations in Russia. This mass withdrawal effectively transformed Russia into a live case study of forced market adaptation, as everyday consumption habits were abruptly destabilized. This paper examines how Russian consumers responded to the disappearance of these global brands, with attention to substitution choices, price-versus-prestige trade-offs, and the growth of local and Asian alternatives. Drawing on secondary data from Statista, Euromonitor, Reuters, and Yale CELI, the study traces shifts in consumer sentiment, market shares, and purchasing priorities across the fast-food, retail, apparel, and beverage sectors. Findings reveal that consumer loyalty, traditionally considered durable, was highly elastic under geopolitical pressure. Russian consumers largely prioritized functionality and affordability, enabling domestic firms such as Vkusno i Tochka and Chernogolovka, as well as Chinese apparel and electronics brands, to expand rapidly. Although nostalgia for Western products persisted, pragmatic needs outweighed symbolic attachments. The study underscores the importance of adaptive strategies for marketers, showing that crises demand localization, resilient supply chains, and flexible brand positioning. For multinationals, the Russian case highlights the risks of overdependence on politically sensitive markets, while domestic players benefited from opportunities to build loyalty during a period of forced transition. Key findings of consumer behavior adaptation in Russia during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Source: Compiled by author using secondary data from Statista(2023), Reuters(2022) and Euromonitor(2022).

Legal Awareness as A Tool for Empowerment: A Cross-Sectional Study of Graduate Students in Chandigarh

Authors: Dr. Upasna Thapliyal, Dr. Rajni Thakur

Abstract: Legal literacy and awareness are crucial components of democratic participation, access to justice, and youth empowerment. This study investigates the level of legal knowledge, attitudes toward legal institutions, and practices adopted by graduate students in Chandigarh, a city known for its strong educational base. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from a stratified random sample of 1,000 students across disciplines and gender through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Chi-square tests, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression, were employed to analyze the data. Findings reveal that while students exhibit moderate legal knowledge (mean score: 58.6/100), significant disciplinary differences persist, with law students outperforming others. Gender differences were evident in awareness of gender-specific laws, though not in overall scores. Regression analysis identified discipline and prior exposure to legal workshops as key predictors of legal literacy. The results highlight a gap between rights awareness and procedural competence, emphasizing the need for curriculum integration, legal-aid initiatives, and gender-sensitive programs. By enhancing legal literacy, higher education institutions can strengthen civic participation and empower youth to engage effectively with legal systems, thereby contributing to a more informed and just society.

Improvement The Heat Transfer Rate Of Ac Evaporator By Optimizing Materials

Authors: Ranu Parste, Deepak Solanki

Abstract: Enhancing the heat transfer rate of air conditioning (AC) evaporators is a key objective in advancing energy-efficient thermal systems. This study investigates the optimization of evaporator material selection to improve thermal performance using a Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based approach. Traditional materials like copper and aluminum are evaluated alongside advanced composites and coatings based on criteria such as thermal conductivity, cost, weight, and corrosion resistance. The Genetic Algorithm is employed to identify the optimal material configuration that maximizes heat transfer while minimizing trade-offs. Simulation results demonstrate that GA effectively converges on optimal solutions, offering a 10–20% improvement in heat transfer performance over conventional materials. The integration of GA in material selection not only enhances evaporator efficiency but also provides a scalable method for intelligent design in HVAC systems. This research highlights the potential of evolutionary algorithms in solving complex multi-parameter engineering problems in thermal system optimization.

Marketing Metamorphosis: Bridging Traditional And Digital Sales Strategies In The Tech-Driven Age

Authors: Dr. Srinivasan Gopal Chari

Abstract: From the billboard to the byte, from the handshake to the hyperlink, marketing has changed drastically in the vast theater of 21st-century business. This research article explores the dynamic juxtaposition and convergence of conventional and digital marketing and sales techniques, therefore highlighting the tectonic changes in customer involvement, campaign orchestration, and technology mediation. Influencer marketing, CRM automation, and influencer marketing as business ecosystems migrate from the analog inertia of print advertisements and field sales into the turbulent digital storm of AI-driven analytics necessitate not just adaptation but also change from the toolset perspective. This study seeks to outline the philosophical undercurrents, historical background, and technical progress that have collectively rewritten the marketing playbook, therefore acting as a compass for contemporary professionals—an intellectual ready reckoner. In its golden age, traditional marketing depended on wide brushstrokes—mass communications across stationary media like print, radio, and television. Designed to mesmerize the collective consciousness, the campaign was monologic, one-directional. Newspapers column inches, the famous tagline, the television jingle—they were the currency of credibility. Their philosophy rested on emotional resonance, persuasion, and aspirational identity. These approaches were sometimes castles constructed on sand—grand in intention but precarious in responsibility—limited capacity for feedback, and measures based more on intuition than evidence.

Novel Approach To Implementation Of Channel Estimation In 6g Spectrum By Using Noma And Artificial Intelligence Hybrid Technique

Authors: Ajay Damor, Dr Nidhi Tiwari, Professor Madhavi S Bhanwar

Abstract: The emergence of sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks demands highly efficient spectrum utilization and robust communication strategies to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, and high-capacity services. One of the critical challenges in 6G is accurate channel estimation, especially in dense user environments where spectrum resources are limited. This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach for channel estimation that integrates Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) with Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven algorithms. The NOMA framework enables simultaneous multi-user transmission within the same spectrum band, thereby enhancing spectral efficiency, while the AI-based module leverages deep learning and reinforcement learning models to perform adaptive and dynamic channel estimation under varying propagation conditions. The proposed methodology not only minimizes estimation errors but also reduces computational complexity compared to conventional estimation methods. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in spectral efficiency, bit error rate, and overall system throughput, validating the potential of the AI–NOMA hybrid approach for next-generation wireless networks. This work highlights the importance of intelligent channel estimation techniques in realizing the performance requirements of 6G communication systems.

Making Big Changes Stick: How A Supermarket Handled Smart Technology And Kept People Happy

Authors: MD Juman Hussan

Abstract: This paper looks at how a big Australian supermarket, Woolworths, put new smart technology (AI) into its business. We wanted to see if they followed the right steps to manage this big change. The move to use AI in things like checking stock and talking to customers (like with their chatbot, 'Olive') is a huge deal. This study uses common ideas like Kotter’s eight-step change model to see where the company did well and where they struggled. We also use the Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) idea and The Communication Diagnostic concept to check on the company's team spirit and how they talked about the changes. We found that while the smart systems made things faster and sales grew (like their online sales hitting 5.1 billion), the communication with warehouse teams caused problems, leading to disagreements. This shows that even the cleverest systems need simple, clear human leadership and a team culture that wants to learn new things (a growth mindset) to truly work well.

Sustaining Himalayan Springs Amidst The Emerging Water Crisis

Authors: Prateek Srivastava, Sandeep Dubey, Shriyanshi Singh

Abstract: The significance of spring water is fundamentally integral to the livelihood of the Himalayan population. Springs are the chief providers of drinking water for households, agricultural, and industrial applications, especially in the Himalayan region, and contribute to the ecological richness and ecosystems in the Himalayas. Despite their crucial significance, springs continue to attract minimal attention. Over the last couple of decades, a noticeable drop of about 60% in low-discharge springs has been documented. With the escalation of population growth, relentless climate change, and rapid urbanization, springs face several significant threats to their survival. There is growing evidence that the springs of the Himalayas are experiencing desiccation, a reduction in discharge, and deterioration in water quality. In the Himalayan territories, springs hold significant importance in the context of cultural and religious beliefs. They are considered purest form of water and are frequently associated with different gods, rituals, and mythologies. These springs were regarded as sacred due to their intrinsic connections to regional deities and rituals of worshipping water. Heat, glacial melting and rainfall patterns are the anticipated alterations that are projected to influence the quality & quantity of water substantially. Springs rejuvenation could offer a climate-adaptive approach benefiting the Himalayan ecosystems and livelihoods, improve water accessibility, and help to accomplish any of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Spring-shed management based on aquifer systems combines scientific knowledge, community participation and collaborative partnerships in springs revival, thereby generating policy attention on spring water across the region.

Legal and Ethical Aspect of Professional Development in Nursing

Authors: Umeh Elizabeth Egodu

Abstract: Permitting a new driver to get behind the wheel of a car requires the driver to know the laws governing driving; however, the laws do not tell the whole story. For example, what is a driver to do when entering an unprotected intersection? What governs the driver’s movement into the intersection? How does the driver account for the weather, vehicle, and road condition? What is the driver’s knowledge and experience level? Any new driver needs guidance or rules to manage the inherent risks. Inherent risk is also a part of nursing. Patients are ill; medications and treatments have benefits and adverse effects; clinical situations are undetermined, open ended, and highly variable Providing nursing care sometimes feels like the new driver navigating that unprotected intersection. As with the new driver, education and standards provided by laws and regulations designed to protect the public provide guidance in nursing practice. Nursing requires specialized knowledge, skill, and independent decision making. The practice of nursing ivolves behaviour, attitude and judgement, and physical and sensory capabilities in the application of knowledge, skills, and abilities for the benefit of the client. Nursing careers take widely divergent paths – practice focus varies by setting, by types of clients, by different disease, therapeutic approach or level of rehabilitation. Burses work at all points of service in the health care system (sheets, 1996).

Authors: Prem Narwekar, Shubham Nannware, Aditya Gupta, Sohan Londhe

Abstract: This project presents the design and implementation of a Voice-Activated Door Lock System integrated into a portable door unit constructed from glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), including a matching lintel beam. The primary objective is to enhance security, accessibility, and portability while maintaining structural durability and aesthetic appeal. The voice-controlled locking mechanism utilizes speech recognition technology to grant or deny access based on authorized voice commands. This hands- free approach to security offers a modern alternative to traditional key-based or keypad systems, ideal for users with mobility impairments or for smart home integration. The door and lintel beam are fabricated using glass fiber, chosen for its lightweight nature, high strength- to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of transportation, making the system suitable for both temporary installations and permanent structures. The portability of the door unit allows flexible deployment in residential, commercial, or construction site environments. The system is powered by a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino) interfaced with a microphone module, voice recognition module, and electronic lock. Security is further enhanced through multi-level authentication protocols and real-time status feedback via a mobile app or local display. This project merges advanced materials with intelligent control systems, providing a robust, user-friendly, and portable access control solution for modern smart environments.

An Integrated Framework For Personalized Book Recommendations Combining Hybrid Filtering With A Full-Stack Architecture

Authors: Harsh N Sorathiya, Manthan Shah, Dhruv Shah, Ovesh Khatri, Professor Rahul Moud

Abstract: This paper delineates the design and implementation of an integrated platform for personalized book recommendations. The system is architected upon a decoupled three-tier model, featuring a dynamic user interface built with React.js and a robust backend service developed in Python-Flask. Central to the platform is a hybrid recommendation engine that synergizes item-item collaborative filtering—which employs Cosine Similarity on a pre-calculated similarity matrix—with a content-based fallback mechanism. This dual-strategy approach is specifically engineered to overcome the prevalent challenges of data sparsity and the cold-start problem. To ensure persistent personalization, user data and interaction histories are stored in a cloud-hosted PostgreSQL database and managed via the SQLAlchemy Object-Relational Mapper (ORM). Security is enforced through a stateless JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication protocol, which also underpins the system's role-based access control for administrative functions. This research provides a practical blueprint for the development of scalable, real-world recommender systems by synthesizing established algorithms with contemporary software engineering methodologies.

Reducing Phishing Attacks In Online/Mobile Wallet & Net Banking: A Comprehensive Framework For Enhanced Security

Authors: Arpan Garg, Nishchal KC, Pramish Bhandari, Mr. Nikhil Ranjan

Abstract: The increasing reliance on browser-based internet banking has amplified the threat of phishing attacks, which exploit human and system vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive financial information. This review exam- ines various phishing attack techniques targeting browser-based banking systems, categorizing them by their operational mech- anisms and identifying their strengths, weaknesses, and limi- tations. Existing approaches include deceptive website cloning, cross-site scripting, DNS hijacking, man-in-the-middle attacks, and malicious browser exten- sions. While some methods rely on social engineering and exploit user trust, others leverage technical flaws in browser or network infrastructure. Strengths of these at- tacks often lie in their low cost, scalability, and ability to bypass traditional security measures, while their weaknesses include dependence on user interaction, detectable behavioral patterns, and increasing resistance through multi-factor authentication and improved browser security. The analysis reveals persistent chal- lenges: phish- ing techniques continuously evolve, and defensive mechanisms often lag behind, requiring constant adaptation. This review synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed sources, including Applied Sciences (MDPI), Journal of Information Security and Applications (Elsevier), Computers Security (Elsevier), and International Journal of Network Security Applications (IJNSA), highlighting the need for integrated, proactive defense strategies combining technical safeguards, user awareness, and regulatory measures to effectively mitigate the evolving phishing threat landscape in online banking environments.

Mathematical Modeling Of Atmospheric Pollutant Dispersion Under Periodic Emissions: Implications For Respiratory And Cardiovascular Health

Authors: Ashutosh Kumar Upadhyay, Meenakshi Vashisth, Amanpreet Kaur, Sapna Ratan Shah

Abstract: This study presents a mathematical model for the dispersion of atmospheric pollutants subjected to periodic emission sources and removal dynamics. Using an advection-diffusion-reaction framework, we derive and analyze the governing partial differential equation incorporating a sinusoidal source term and a constant atmospheric removal rate. The model captures real-world conditions such as diurnal emission cycles and steady pollutant decay. Analytical and numerical solutions are explored to understand the spatiotemporal behavior of pollutant concentrations. Numerical results highlight that pollutant concentration profiles evolve with time, showing spatial spreading, downstream advection, and amplitude attenuation due to decay. Furthermore, increasing the emission oscillation amplitude (α) leads to more pronounced temporal fluctuations in concentration at fixed locations. Importantly, given that the World Health Organization reports that air pollution contributes to nearly 7 million premature deaths annually, primarily due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, this work underscores the critical need for accurate pollution modeling to inform effective monitoring and mitigation strategies under oscillatory emission conditions.

IMPACT OF ADULTERATION WITH PAWPAW EXTRACT ON THE PHSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PALM OIL.

Authors: Dr. Ugwuoke Malachy Okonkwo, Okozor Petrolina Nkeiruka, Ezea Boniface Chukwuebuka

Abstract: Palm oil is a widely consumed edible oil valued for its nutritional, economic, and industrial importance. However, adulteration with substances such as pawpaw (Carica papaya) extract has become a common malpractice aimed at enhancing color and yield, often at the expense of quality. This study examined the effects of adulteration with pawpaw extract on the physicochemical characteristics of palm oil over an eight-week storage period. Palm oil samples were adulterated at concentrations of 0.05–0.08 g/mL and evaluated for acid value, saponification value, iodine value, peroxide value, free fatty acid content, specific gravity, viscosity, melting point, moisture content, and color using standard AOAC (2019) and Codex (2019) procedures. Results showed that adulteration significantly altered both chemical and physical properties. The acid value increased from 2.41 to 6.38 mgKOH/g, while free fatty acids rose from 1.21% to 3.19%, indicating accelerated hydrolysis and reduced stability. Peroxide value increased sharply from 8.12 to 19.47 meq/kg, confirming enhanced oxidative rancidity. Saponification value increased from 195.1 to 209.3 mgKOH/g, suggesting incorporation of lower-molecular-weight fatty acids, whereas iodine value decreased from 53.6 to 41.2 g I₂/100 g, and indicating reduced unsaturation. Physical changes included increased specific gravity (0.903–0.923), viscosity (43.5–58.2 cP), and moisture content (0.18–0.41%), alongside a reduced melting point (36.4–32.8 °C) and a color shift from dark red to reddish-yellow. Finally, pawpaw extract markedly deteriorated the physicochemical quality of palm oil, promoting oxidation, rancidity, and moisture absorption. These changes compromise its edibility, shelf life, and industrial applicability. The findings underscore the urgent need for stricter monitoring and enforcement of food quality regulations to prevent adulteration and ensure consumer safety.

Harnessing Diatoms To Mitigate Microplastic Pollution: A Review_199

Authors: Prateek Srivastava, Abhishek Kumar Sharma, Prishita Singh, Saleha Naz

Abstract: Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a critical environmental issue, with particles originating from consumer products and plastic degradation now pervasive in aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric systems. MPs pose ecological risks by disrupting feeding, growth, and reproduction in aquatic organisms and potentially entering human food chains. Traditional mitigation strategies remain insufficient, prompting exploration of biological alternatives. Diatoms, photosynthetic microalgae with silica frustules, show strong potential for MP remediation. Through biofilm formation, extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) secretion, and adhesion, diatoms facilitate MP aggregation, sedimentation, and partial degradation. Their interactions with bacteria further enhance plastic breakdown, while large-scale cultivation enables integration into wastewater treatment and hybrid remediation systems. Despite limitations such as incomplete degradation and environmental dependence, diatoms represent an eco-friendly, scalable, and sustainable strategy. Advances in engineered consortia, genetic modification, and field validation may establish diatoms as a viable biotechnological tool for mitigating microplastic pollution

The Foundation of Structural Vibration Frequency Analysis and Its Applications in Structural Design

Authors: Phương Ngo Nam

Abstract: Thanh Tran Xuan, 2 Phương Ngo NamVibration is a common phenomenon in nature and in engineering. All structures subjected to external forces will vibrate and may experience the phenomenon of resonance during operation. Vibration and resonance are often the cause of, or at least a contributing factor to, many operational problems in structures and machinery, leading to shaking, noise, and even component failure, even when the applied force has not exceeded the material's strength limit. When designing structures, machinery, and civil works, engineers routinely account for the effects of vibration. This includes calculating the structure's natural frequencies, predicting the operational frequency range of the structure, and designing the structure to mitigate adverse effects while utilizing beneficial vibratory characteristics. To fully understand the vibration and resonance issues of a structure, the factors causing vibration and resonance must be identified and quantified. A common approach to achieve this is to study the dynamic properties of the mechanical structure under dynamic excitation: its natural frequencies, corresponding mode shapes, and damping ratios.

Blueprint Analysis Of A Hybrid Solar-Inverter System For Uninterrupted Power Supply In Government Vocational School Workshops In Port Harcourt

Authors: Hachimenum Nyebuchi Amadi, Mutiu Oluseyi Lawal, Richeal Chinaeche Ijeoma

Abstract: This study presents a blueprint analysis of a hybrid solar-inverter system designed to provide uninterrupted power to government vocational school workshops in Port Harcourt. Frequent grid outages and unreliable supply compromise hands-on training, damage equipment, and reduce instructional hours, challenges that this research addresses by combining solar photovoltaic generation with intelligent inverter-based energy management and battery storage. The paper develops site-specific system architecture, sized through load surveys of typical workshop equipment (welding machines, drills, compressors, lighting and power tools), local solar resource assessment, and operational duty cycles. Key components include PV arrays; a bidirectional inverter/charger with surge-and-islanding capability, a battery energy storage system sized for critical loads during peak outage periods, and a supervisory energy management system that prioritizes loads, schedules charging, and supports seamless transition between grid, PV and battery modes. Using techno-economic modelling and scenario analysis, performance metrics system availability, autonomy duration, levelized cost of energy (LCOE), and payback period are evaluated under Port Harcourt’s irradiance and tariff conditions. Results indicate that a properly sized hybrid solution can achieve >99% uptime for critical workshop operations, reduce energy expenditures, and extend equipment life by smoothing supply disturbances. Sensitivity analysis shows that battery cost and duty-cycle demand are the most influential variables on financial viability. The blueprint also outlines installation best practices, safety and grounding considerations for educational environments, routine maintenance schedules, and guidelines for integrating the system into vocational curricula as a live teaching resource. The proposed blueprint offers a scalable, replicable model for other government training institutions aiming to improve practical training continuity, build local technical capacity, and progress toward resilient educational infrastructure.

Abstract: Bioprocessing plays an essential role in the large-scale production of biological products, where accurate monitoring and control are key for both yield and quality. This work aims to develop and assess a predictive framework based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for estimating product yield in bioprocess operations. A multi-phase approach was implemented, beginning with data collection from online sensors and laboratory analyses, followed by preprocessing steps that included normalization, outlier removal, noise filtering, and feature engineering, utilizing dimensionality reduction through Principal Component Analysis. A hybrid ANN model was created, integrating Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FNN) for steady-state predictions, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for learning temporal sequences, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for interpreting spectroscopic data.The model, trained using supervised learning and cross-validation, achieved strong predictive performance with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 1.0139 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.9756, capturing 97.6% of yield variance. Predicted versus actual values showed high consistency, confirming robustness for real-time monitoring. Minor overfitting was observed at extreme values, highlighting the need for dataset expansion and regularization. Overall, the results demonstrate that ANN-based modeling effectively captures nonlinear dynamics in bioprocessing, supporting proactive optimization, disturbance detection, and integration into industrial-scale monitoring systems.

Abstract: The reliability of power supply remains a critical challenge in Nigeria, particularly for corporate offices such as MTN in Port Harcourt, where continuous operation of ICT facilities and customer service platforms depends on stable electricity. Conventional inverters have provided backup solutions, but their limitations in efficiency, monitoring, and maintenance create gaps in long-term reliability. This study focuses on the design and simulation of a 1kVA smart inverter with Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring to address these challenges. The proposed system comprises a 24V DC battery bank, sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) control, an H-bridge inverter stage, LC filter, and a step-up transformer. MATLAB/Simulink was used for modelling and performance evaluation of the inverter, including harmonic analysis, efficiency testing, and assessment of output waveform quality. Simulation results indicated that the system delivered a stable 220V AC sinusoidal output with total harmonic distortion (THD) reduced to acceptable IEEE standards. The inverter achieved peak efficiency of 88.7% at 700W loading conditions and maintained above 80% efficiency across varying loads. The integration of IoT-enabled sensors enabled real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and battery state of charge through a cloud-based dashboard, facilitating predictive maintenance and informed decision-making. The findings demonstrate that a smart inverter with IoT integration provides a sustainable and scalable solution for office energy-backup applications, supporting uninterrupted operations in environments with frequent grid outages.

Authors: Jawaria Ehsan, Abdul Ghafoor, Rakia Ali, Manahal Abbas, Sadia Shabbir, Shahzaib, Nouman Ahmad, Muhammad Azeem Akbar, Amin Abid

Abstract: Water is the essence of the universe. In recent years, Industrialization have put adverse impacts on our environment especially aquatic ecosystem. Industrial dyes are one of the main waste pollutants [1]. Dyes contaminate water ecosystem and this effects aquatic habitat. These dyes also have severe impacts on human health. So, this is alarming to treat wastewater containing hazardous coloring agents(dyes) specially belonging to the textile industry. The textile industry is of the biggest contributors for water pollution, due to large amounts of synthetic dyes released into water bodies and enhance pollution. These dyes can cause serious health and environmental issues because they resist natural degradation. The best solution to this problem is photocatalytic degradation in which nanomaterials help to the breakdown of these dyes which are basically pollutants. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have gained a lot of attention among various photo catalysts due to their strong photocatalytic activity, cost-effectiveness and environment friendliness. This review explores how the zinc oxide nanoparticles break down the dyes, the factors that influence their efficiency, and recent developments in improving their performance. In this review we also highlight future directions, which include green synthesis methods and integration of zinc oxide with renewable energy sources for applications that are more environmentally friendly.

Examining The Inhibitive Effect Of Alanine On Corrosion Of Aluminium In Acidic Medium

Authors: Erienu Obruche Kennedy,, Ikechukwu S.Chikwe, Eziukwu. Chidi Charles, Paul Nnamdi Ogbu, Ibe Michael Onyebuchi, Amaechi Justice Nzegwu

Abstract: The study examined how alanine inhibits corrosion of aluminium coupons in an acidic environment using a 0.5M HCl solution. The weight loss method was used for synthesis. Aluminium sheets with a purity of 98.98% were cut into rectangular coupons measuring 2cm x 4cm and were 1.0 mm thick. The total surface area of each coupon was 8 cm2, which was reduced by washing with absolute ethanol and drying in acetone. These rectangular coupons were fully immersed in the acid solution with different concentrations of the inhibitor for time intervals ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours. The inhibitor at the optimal concentration reduced aluminium corrosion by about 14.6%, and the inhibition efficiency varied significantly with different alanine concentrations. The presence of heteroatoms in the inhibitor helped absorb onto the metal surface, displacing water molecules and creating a protective barrier. The findings indicated that alanine in 0.5M HCl has some inhibiting properties for lowering the corrosion rate of aluminium. However, the results also showed that alanine is not an effective inhibitor for aluminium corrosion due to its low inhibition efficiency.

Authors: Gowtham AG, Dr S.Maruthavijayan

Abstract: In today’s competitive and high-pressure work environments, employee well-being has emerged as a key factor influencing organizational success. Among the various determinants of well-being, sleep plays a vital yet often underestimated role in shaping productivity, creativity, and overall job satisfaction. This research explores the concept of sleep as a measurable Human Resource (HR) metric and investigates whether companies should track or promote healthy sleep habits to enhance performance. The study examines the link between sleep quality and work efficiency, analyzing how insufficient rest contributes to errors, stress, absenteeism, and burnout. It also reviews existing HR wellness programs, such as flexible work hours, nap spaces, and wearable sleep tracking, implemented by leading global organizations. Furthermore, the research evaluates the ethical implications of monitoring employees’ rest patterns, focusing on issues of privacy, autonomy, and data security. Through literature analysis and employee survey data, this study aims to identify the potential benefits, challenges, and limitations of integrating sleep-focused initiatives into HR management. The findings suggest that while sleep tracking and wellness incentives can foster a more engaged and productive workforce, they must be implemented with ethical safeguards and voluntary participation.

Real Time Auction Monitoring System

Authors: Satyam Kumar, Rohan Asawale, Himanshu Tiwari, Rajeshwari Girase, Priti Patel

Abstract: The traditional digital auction houses started conduct- ing online auction systems driven by online bidding tech- nology which lined auction systems with a higher rate of accessibility compared to previous online auction systems. Despite faster serving of online auction systems, it is im- portant to know that most auctions operate at a net loss due to a lack of divorce settlements over unclaimed as- sets. Instead of focusing on divorce settlements, many operators of online auction systems prefer to obscure un- claimed assets by focusing on technological services and ‘the art of transaction’. With a special emphasis on se- curing, speedy, and reliable transactions, highly auction- able resources are put up for auction to garner competitive pricing. This serves as a loss-leader for the online auction houses and unclaimed assets, which otherwise would make a loss, serve as the resource. Instead, focused technology which enhances the competitive auction proves to attract more bidders and garner higher net profits. Available tech- nologies such as Real-Time Bidding (RTB) become a more focused, streamlined approach to garner higher net profits. The climax of most online auction houses is regret as they ‘sell’ information at a loss to attract bidders and gar- ner subsequent revenue through premium services. Auc- tion houses which operate at a loss defy the simple eco- nomic principle of supply and demand. This indicates a lack of competition amongst auction houses, tellingly termed as the auction cartel. The net outcome of such a cartel manifests as a loss of economic resources. Focusing on unclaimed assets, the auction cartel proves the con- cept of economically valuable information. Over-relying on RTC auction systems renders auction houses unable to accurately auction minimal resource packages, leading to economically valuable information. Despite serving as a platform, the auction cartel offers valuable resources to researchers and professionals focused on e-auction systems.

Zero Trust Security Model for Microservices: Principles, Benefits, and Challenges

Authors: Md. Abdul Momin, Md. Ezharul Islam

Abstract: Microservices are widely used to build modern applications, but their distributed design brings serious security risks that traditional perimeter-based models cannot handle. Once attackers bypass the perimeter, they can move across services unchecked. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) addresses this problem with its “never trust, always verify” principle. It secures microservices through continuous authentication, least-privilege access, micro-segmentation, and encrypted communication. This paper examines the core principles of ZTA, its primary benefits, such as enhanced security, regulatory compliance, resilience, and scalable security, and the challenges of adoption, including complex policy management, performance overhead, integration with legacy systems, skill shortages, and a lack of standardization. To overcome these barriers, best practices like Zero Trust Architecture, enabling tools, automated policy management, and unified governance are discussed. The paper also highlights the role of AI and ML in making ZTA smarter through adaptive authentication and real-time threat detection. Overall, ZTA offers a flexible and powerful approach for protecting microservices in cloud-native environments.

Authors: Dr. S. Thenmozhi, Dr. S. R. Chitra2

Abstract: For several novel applications, the synthesis and characterization of nanoferrites are crucial. Their synthesis techniques have a significant impact on their electrical and magnetic characteristics, which are important in many applications. The resultant ferrites can have different characteristics depending on the process used, including sol-gel (SG), SG auto-combustion, self-combustion, co-precipitation, reverse micelle, micro-emulsion, glass crystallization, precursor, and hydrothermal procedures. The synthesis, characterization, and applications of mixed nanoferrites with the formula MFe2O4 are reviewed in this study. M can represent a variety of elements, including Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, and others. Excellent magnetic characteristics, such as strong coercivity, high anisotropy, high Curie temperature, and mild saturation magnetization, are displayed by nano-sized ferrites. They also possess noteworthy mechanical qualities including considerable hardness and desired electrical qualities like high electrical resistance and minimal eddy current losses. According to our investigation, mixed nanoferrites show better qualities than single-component ferrites, which make them attractive options for a range of cutting-edge applications.

A Procedural Framework For The First Filling Of The Water Conductor System At The Tehri Pumped Storage Plant (4×250 MW)

Authors: Rajeev Prasad, Vinod Jhinkwan

Abstract: The first filling of a Water Conductor System (WCS) is the most critical non-operational test for any large-scale underground hydropower or pumped storage project. This process validates the structural integrity, water tightness, and geo-mechanical interaction of the system with the surrounding rock mass under hydrostatic pressure for the first time. This paper presents the philosophy and step-by-step methodology adopted during the first filling of the water conductor system at the 1000 MW Tehri Pumped Storage Plant. It also provides valuable insights and reference information for conducting first filling operations in similar large-scale hydroelectric projects. As a critical pre-commissioning activity, the first filling is designed to test the integrity and performance of all hydraulic components under controlled conditions for the first time. The methodology adheres to Indian Standard codes (IS 12633:1989) and project-specific requirements, implementing a phased, step-wise approach to pressurize the system gradually. The process is segmented into four distinct stages: Stage 1 involves filling the Tail Race Tunnel (TRT) up to the downstream surge shaft; Stage 2 covers the Head Race Tunnel (HRT) from the intake to the Butterfly Valve Chamber (BVC); Stage 3 entails filling the pressure shafts from the BVC to the Main Inlet Valve (MIV); and Stage 4 completes the balance filling of the upstream surge shaft. This paper provides detailed volumetric computations, filling discharge rates, prescribed waiting periods for strata stabilization, and a complete timeline for each stage. The total cumulative filling time, inclusive of all mandatory stabilization gaps, is calculated for two potential upper reservoir level scenarios (EL. 775 m and EL. 780 m), ensuring a controlled and safe commissioning process for the Tehri PSP.

Challenges And Bottlenecks In Integrating AI To Teach 21st-Century Skills In Primary, Middle & Secondary Education In Rural Schools Of District Bandipora, Kashmir, India.

Authors: Javid Ahmad Bhat

Abstract: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into teaching 21st-century skills—critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and digital literacy—presents transformative opportunities for learning. Yet rural regions such as District Bandipora in Jammu & Kashmir face acute barriers that limit adoption and impact. This study examines infrastructural, pedagogical, socio-cultural, administrative, and equity-related challenges to integrating AI-driven pedagogy in primary, middle & secondary schools across Bandipora. Drawing on district-level facts (approximately 850 schools; only 60 ICT labs and about 120 schools with any computer facility), direct observations, stakeholder interviews, and a review of relevant literature, the paper maps the main bottlenecks: lack of computers and technological facilities in schools and homes; non-availability of reliable internet; scarcity of well-trained teachers in AI and digital pedagogy; limited manpower and administrative bottlenecks; disproportionate and irregular parent–teacher meetings (PTMs); and low parental interest in technology-enabled learning. The majority of students lack mobile devices or internet access at home, which exacerbates inequities and weakens the continuity of learning beyond school. We propose a phased, equity-focused strategy combining low-bandwidth and offline AI tools, intensive teacher professional development, infrastructure and maintenance planning, community engagement to boost parental interest, and governance reforms to address procurement, data protection, and human resource constraints. The paper concludes with a prioritized action plan for district-level implementation and an agenda for evaluation and future research..

Authors: YongChol Kim, ChungIl Kim, JongGuk Kim

Abstract: Cuprous oxide is used as an antimicrobial and fungicide of fruit trees and is widely used as a catalyst for photodegradation of organic contaminants in the visible light region. Cuprous cuprous oxide was successfully prepared by simple mechanochemical method at any place by varying the amount of reactants added in the system consisting of copper sulphate, sodium hydroxide and glucose without any heat source or complex device, the mode of addition of reactants, the grinding time and the aging conditions of the product. First, CuSO4∙5H2O and NaOH were ground to a size of about 100 μm, respectively. Then, the ground copper sulfate was homogeneously mixed with glucose powder, a reducing agent and dodecyl sodium sulfate (SDS), a dispersing stabilizer. It was then mixed with a suitable amount of the ground NaOH and underwent a simple mechanochemical method of ball milling with an agate mortar to prepare ultrafine cuprous oxide in solid phase consisting of copper sulfate, sodium hydroxide and glucose. The results show that ultrafine cuprous oxide was obtained after 30 min of ball-milling without combustion of glucose as reducing agent when adding NaOH twice. The as-prepared ultrafine cuprous oxide was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and it correspond to a cubic structure with size of 30-40 nm.

Barium Titanate As A Sustainable Energy Harvester: A Review On Materials, Mechanisms And Devices

Authors: Manjit Borah

Abstract: The increasing demand for sustainable, miniaturized and eco-friendly power sources has spurred significant interest in nanogenerators for self-powered electronics. Among the materials explored, barium titanate (BT), a lead-free ferroelectric perovskite has emerged as a promising candidate owing to its high dielectric constant, strong piezoelectric response, and environmental compatibility. This review highlights the evolution of BT from its early discovery as a ferroelectric ceramic to its modern applications in energy harvesting systems. The fundamental aspects of BT, including its perovskite crystal structure, ferroelectric behavior, and piezoelectric mechanism, are discussed to establish its role as an effective energy transducer. Strategies for enhancing its modest intrinsic piezoelectric properties such as domain alignment, chemical doping, phase boundary engineering, grain texturing and composite or nanostructure design are thoroughly examined. Advances in device engineering have demonstrated the utility of BT nanostructures, including nanowires, nanotubes, and thin films, in piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and hybrid nanogenerators (HNGs). Comparative insights into these systems reveal BT’s dual role as both a primary energy harvester and a dielectric performance enhancer. Finally, the review underscores BT’s technological relevance in wearable electronics, biomedical implants and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, positioning it as a sustainable alternative to lead-based ferroelectrics for next-generation self-powered systems.

Effect Of Strategic Management On Financial Performance

Authors: Henry Kehinde FASUA, Francis Kehinde EMENI

Abstract: This study investigates how strategic management practices influence the financial performance of organisations. Strategic management is conceptualised as the process of environmental scanning, strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV), the research posits that firms which systematically apply these practices more effectively align internal resources with external opportunities, thereby improving financial outcomes. The empirical analysis uses data collected from [specify sample: e.g., manufacturing firms, SMEs, Indian firms] and employs [specify method: e.g., regression, structural equation modelling] to test the hypothesised relationships. The findings indicate that strategy formulation and monitoring exert a significantly positive effect on financial performance, while the effect of strategic planning alone is mixed and may depend on contextual factors (such as competitive environment and firm capabilities). This suggests that strategic management must go beyond planning to include rigorous implementation and control mechanisms to yield superior financial results. The study contributes to the literature by clarifying which stage(s) of strategic management are most impactful and highlights practical implications for managers seeking to enhance firm profitability and growth through strategic initiatives.

Authors: R. Sridhar, S. Jacob, T. GopalaKrishnan, K. Karunakaran, G. Sathish Kumar, Aravind Y, Arun Vikram M P

Abstract: The growing emphasis on lightweighting, cost efficiency, and ergonomic refinement in modern vehicles has intensified the need for computer-aided product design methodologies in interior component development. This study presents the computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturability analysis of an automotive door trim panel using CATIA V5. The research outlines a structured workflow beginning with the import of a Class-A aesthetic surface, followed by the generation of Class-B and Class-C surfaces, definition of tooling axes, and incorporation of essential engineering features such as doghouses, push pins, heat stakes, and gussets to ensure assembly integrity and durability. A bottom-up assembly approach was employed to integrate the armrest, lower substrate, and map pocket into a unified structure. The manufacturability of the resulting geometry was verified through draft analysis, confirming adequate ejection feasibility and surface continuity for injection moulding. The findings highlight that applying a parametric and feature-driven CAD approach significantly enhances precision and design efficiency, ensuring compliance with design-for-manufacturing (DFM) standards. Furthermore, the proposed workflow demonstrates potential for reducing tooling errors, optimizing material usage, and supporting sustainable production by minimizing rework iterations. This research provides a replicable framework for transitioning conceptual surface designs into manufacturable components, with broader implications for ergonomics, cost reduction, and eco-friendly automotive interior design.

Nano-Engineered Atomic Clocks For Ultra-Precise Military Positioning

Authors: Kabir Kohli

Abstract: Nano-engineered atomic clocks represent a major leap in precision timing, especially for military applications where size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints are critical. By leveraging nanotechnology such as quantum dots, nanophotonics, and MEMS, these clocks offer ultra-precise timing in compact formats suitable for GPS-independent navigation, encrypted communications, and weapon synchronization. Traditional atomic clocks, while highly accurate, are often too bulky and energy-intensive for deployment in mobile or embedded military systems. In contrast, nano-engineered versions benefit from advanced material science, offering enhanced robustness, energy efficiency, and miniaturization. This paper delves into the core design principles of atomic clocks, elucidates the role of nanotechnology in transforming these systems, and explores their applications in military contexts. The discussion covers key nanotechnological components, such as MEMS for integration, quantum dots for enhancing signal fidelity, and nanophotonics for precise light manipulation. Case studies from DARPA, NIST, and ESA demonstrate real-world implementations and validate the technology's viability. Despite challenges such as fabrication complexity, radiation sensitivity, and thermal management, the future trajectory of nano-engineered atomic clocks appears promising. With developments in AI-driven stabilization and integration into quantum computing and communication systems, these clocks are poised to become indispensable assets in next-generation defence infrastructure. Their ability to function independently of GPS in contested or denied environments grants them a strategic edge, fundamentally redefining how military forces navigate, synchronize, and communicate in modern warfare.
