The paper is devoted to the investigation of the distributed proof generation process, which makes use of recursive zk-SNARKs. Such distributed proof generation, where recursive zk-SNARK-proofs are organized in perfect Mercle trees, was for the first...
The paper analyzes the probability distribution of the occupancy numbers and the entropy of a system at the equilibrium composed by an arbitrary number of non-interacting bosons. The probability distribution is obtained through two approaches: one in...
During the physical foundation of his radiation formula in his December 1900 talk and subsequent 1901 article, Planck refers to Boltzmann’s 1877 combinatorial-probabilistic treatment and obtains his quantum distribution function, while Boltzmann did...
A computational study of the encapsulation of a gaseous mixture of CO2 and SO2 in a Type II porous liquid is performed under different conditions. The system is composed of cryptophane-111 molecules dispersed in dichloromethane, and it is described u...
Animal populations, even among common species, often exhibit demographic heterogeneity. This is particularly evident in species with metapopulation structures, where geographically distinct subpopulations experience varying degrees of inbreeding due...
As an infrastructure platform for launching large-scale cyber attacks, botnets are one of the biggest threats to cyberspace security today. With the development of network technology and changes in the network environment, network attack intelligence...
Daylight availability knowledge is the first step for an energetic and visually efficient building and city design. It can be estimated with the Vertical Sky Component (VSC), which is defined as the ratio of the vertical diffuse illuminance over the...

Background: Schools underwent massive changes during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic worldwide. Besides existing occupational health challenges, teachers had to deal with biological and psychological burdens that had the potential to impact their psychologic...
We review some features of Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) models of black holes obtained by means of the horizon wave function formalism. We consider the Klein–Gordon equation for a toy graviton field coupled to a static matter current in a spherical...
Traditional DASH (dynamic adaptation streaming over HTTP(i.e., HyperText Transfer Protocol)) bitrate strategy cannot differentiate segments with different complexities of video content, resulting in the user’s QoE (quality of experience) of seg...
Brucellosis remains endemic in Tunisia, causing abortions in small ruminants, and represents a public health threat through occupational exposure and the consumption of contaminated animal products. The aims of this study are to assess the antibiotic...
Background/Objectives: Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is an enzyme implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and a potential therapeutic target. LRRK2 PET radioligands could therefore function as imaging biomarkers for PD and as tools to mea...
