G-DaM: A Distributed Data Storage with Blockchain Framework for Management of Groundwater Quality Data (open access)

G-DaM: A Distributed Data Storage with Blockchain Framework for Management of Groundwater Quality Data

Authors discuss their use of a distributed and decentralized architecture to store the statistics, perform double hashing, and implement access control through smart contracts to forecast groundwater availability. Their work demonstrates a modern and innovative approach combining Distributed Data Storage and Blockchain technologies to overcome traditional data sharing, and centralized storage, while addressing blockchain limitations.

Insights into the mechanisms controlling the residual corrosion rate of borosilicate glasses (open access)

Insights into the mechanisms controlling the residual corrosion rate of borosilicate glasses

Article examining the glass durability and residual rate of borosilicate glass. The authors focus on the behavior of the soluble elements of the International Simple Glass (B, Na, and Ca) to show that the residual rate is controlled by the behavior of B, a glass former supposed to dissolve instantaneously when in contact with water and thus widely considered as an ideal tracer. The article demonstrates that B release is controlled by multiple processes highly dependent on the pH. A new paradigm, including B as a key element of the system, is proposed to develop a comprehensive model for the corrosion of borosilicate glass.

A Shannon-Theoretic Approach to the Storage–Retrieval Trade-Off in PIR Systems (open access)

A Shannon-Theoretic Approach to the Storage–Retrieval Trade-Off in PIR Systems

Authors of the article consider the storage–retrieval rate trade-off in private information retrieval (PIR) systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Their focus is mostly on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random codebook generation and the binning technique is proposed.

A simple design of mechanically robust, recyclable, and biodegradable composite films with high thermal stability and fluorescent properties (open access)

A simple design of mechanically robust, recyclable, and biodegradable composite films with high thermal stability and fluorescent properties

This article proposes a strategy for preparing advanced soy protein (SP)-based films by solution casting of SP and hydroxyl and primary amine-containing hyperbranched polysiloxane (HPSA). It offers a simple methodology for the design of mechanically robust, recyclable, and biodegradable composite films, which have potential applications in the fabrication of high-performance, high-transparency, and anti-counterfeiting packaging materials.
