Beyond Confidentiality: A Dynamic Framework for Systemic Risk Management and Enhanced Resilience in Critical Infrastructure Operations

2025-11-14T05:59:31+00:00

Purpose: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) underpinning critical infrastructure face unique security challenges due to the interconnected nature of their computational and physical components. Traditional Information Technology (IT) risk assessment methods prove inadequate, as they fail to quantify the kinetic impact—the physical and safety consequences—of a cyber breach. This study addresses this critical gap by proposing and defining a novel Unified Cyber-Physical Risk Management (UCPRM) Framework.

Methodology: The UCPRM Framework is built upon three core principles: holistic IT/OT integration, real-time dynamism, and quantitative consequence mapping. The framework introduces a Cyber-Physical Attack Graph (CPAG) to model complex, cascading failures and a Kinetic Impact Score (KIS) metric to translate cyber likelihoods into measurable physical and financial risk. The methodology integrates established international standards (ISO, NIST) with continuous operational telemetry data for dynamic risk updates.

Findings: Application of the UCPRM Framework to a simulated critical infrastructure environment demonstrated that traditional IT-centric risk models significantly underestimate the actual risk profile of CPS by failing to account for the KIS. The framework's real-time risk score enabled predictive alerting and superior resource allocation decisions, aligning security investments with actual physical safety and continuity concerns.

Originality: The UCPRM Framework is the first to seamlessly integrate real-time operational data with a structured, quantitative mechanism for assessing the physical consequences of cyber-attacks, offering a necessary paradigm shift for managing the security and resilience of critical CPS.

Background: Hydraulic fracturing is an indispensable technology for extracting oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs, fundamentally altering the global energy landscape. However, its operational complexity and environmental footprint necessitate continuous innovation. A comprehensive synthesis of traditional techniques, emerging innovations, and associated environmental impacts is required to guide future development.

Objective: This article provides a systematic review of hydraulic fracturing, charting its evolution from foundational methods to cutting-edge technologies. It aims to (1) analyze the principles and applications of various fracturing techniques, (2) highlight key technological innovations in fluids and methods, and (3) critically evaluate the environmental impacts and corresponding mitigation strategies.

Methods: The analysis is based on a structured review of seminal and contemporary literature. The works are categorized to compare proppant and acid fracturing; assess applications in diverse geologies like shale, high-pressure/high-temperature, and mature fields; and examine novel methods, including supercritical CO2, foam-based, and plasma-based fracturing. The review integrates findings from field case studies and advanced simulation models to connect theory with practice.

Results: The review confirms a clear technological progression from water-intensive conventional methods to waterless or reduced-water alternatives designed to enhance efficiency and minimize environmental risks. Innovations like supercritical CO2 and plasma fracturing offer promising solutions for shale reservoirs. Advanced modeling techniques have proven crucial for optimizing fracture network complexity and well performance in challenging environments. While these innovations address key issues like water consumption, significant environmental challenges, particularly concerning water management and induced seismicity, persist.

Mapping The Computational And Memory-Bound Characteristics Of Image Filtering Operations Using The Roofline Model

2025-11-13T07:53:23+00:00

The Roofline model offers a compact way to reason about whether an image-processing kernel is limited by floating-point throughput or by memory bandwidth. This article applies the Roofline framework to canonical filters—generic 3×3 convolution, Sobel edge detection with gradient magnitude, and separable Gaussian blurs (5×5 and 7×7)—to map their computational intensity and predict performance on representative CPU and GPU profiles. We formalize arithmetic intensity under transparent assumptions for single-channel 32-bit images and two-pass separable pipelines, and we derive bandwidth-bound ceilings and compute-bound plateaus for each architecture. Using an illustrative device pair (CPU with 500 GFLOP/s peak and 50 GB/s bandwidth; GPU with 10 TFLOP/s peak and 300 GB/s bandwidth), we show that the studied filters occupy the bandwidth-limited region with intensities between ≈0.38 and ≈1.25 FLOPs/byte, which implies that improving blocking, reuse, and data movement often dominates raw FLOP optimization. A Roofline chart and a comparative table report predicted ceilings in GFLOP/s and converted pixel-throughput ceilings for each kernel. We discuss implications for schedule design, separability, and pipeline organization and argue that Roofline-guided reasoning helps prioritize cache tiling, fusion, and memory-traffic reduction before micro-optimizing scalar FLOPs.

Dual-Loop P/Pi Control Of A Dc Servodrive: Modeling, Analysis

2025-11-28T10:38:18+00:00

This paper presents a dual-loop P/PI control strategy for a DC servodrive, focusing on the modeling, analysis, and numerical demonstration of system performance. The control structure consists of two cascaded loops: the inner current loop, which ensures fast electromagnetic torque generation, and the outer velocity loop, responsible for dynamic tracking of motor speed. The inner loop is designed using a proportional (P) controller to obtain a fast current response, while the outer loop utilizes a proportional-integral (PI) controller to achieve zero steady-state error in speed control. A mathematical model of the DC motor is developed, including the electrical and mechanical subsystems, and the transfer functions for each control loop are derived. Stability and transient performance of the closed-loop system are evaluated based on classical control theory methods. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the tuning approach and illustrate the effectiveness of the dual-loop P/PI control architecture. The results confirm that the cascaded control structure improves dynamic performance and robustness, making it suitable for industrial servodrive applications.

Orchestrating Elasticity: A Comparative Analysis Of AI-Driven Predictive Scaling Versus Reactive Auto-Scaling In Microservices Architectures

2025-11-27T14:02:24+00:00

As cloud computing paradigms shift towards microservices and containerized architectures, the efficiency of resource allocation remains a critical challenge. Traditional reactive auto-scaling mechanisms, which rely on threshold-based metrics such as CPU and memory utilization, often fail to address sudden workload spikes, leading to service degradation and "cold start" latency. This study presents a comparative analysis between standard reactive scaling, Ansible-based dynamic scaling on Azure PaaS, and a novel AI-driven predictive scaling framework. Drawing on recent developments in Artificial Intelligence and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), we evaluate these approaches using a synthesized workload representative of complex industrial scenarios, such as refinery turnarounds, and high-velocity e-commerce transactions. Our methodology involves the deployment of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network to forecast workload demands 10 minutes in advance, triggering proactive scaling actions. We contrast this with standard Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) and rule-based Ansible automation. The results demonstrate that the AI-driven predictive model reduces 95th percentile latency by approximately 34% compared to reactive approaches and mitigates cold-start latency by 90%. Furthermore, while the predictive model incurs a marginal computational overhead, it reduces overall cloud expenditure by 18% by minimizing over-provisioning during idle periods. The findings suggest that integrating AI into the orchestration layer is essential for the next generation of cost-efficient, high-performance cloud architectures.

2025-11-22T09:14:12+00:00

Apoptosis is programmed cell death triggered by the destruction of the cytoskeleton by proteases and DNA cleavage by endonucleases. This process occurs through various homeostatic and pathological pathways and plays a vital role in maintaining the body's homeostasis, eliminating cells that pose a threat to its survival.

Caspases play a key role both in triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the event of irreversible damage and in adaptive cellular responses to moderate stress. More precisely, apoptosis is the controlled elimination of cells deemed unnecessary or potentially dangerous to the body.

Organic Fundamentals Of Synthesizing Bioplastics From Plant Oils

2025-11-29T15:22:37+00:00

Evolving Frameworks for Digital Trust: A Multidimensional Analysis of Data Governance in Cloud, IoT, and Multimodal AI Ecosystems

2025-11-27T04:38:18+00:00

Purpose: As organizations transition toward cloud-native architectures and artificial intelligence (AI) integration, traditional data governance (DG) frameworks—originally designing for on-premise, structured data—are proving insufficient. This study aims to analyze the evolving requirements of DG in converged environments, specifically examining the intersection of Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Multimodal AI systems. The research seeks to establish a taxonomy of enabling factors that facilitate secure AI adoption and digital trust.

Methodology: A systematic literature review and qualitative document analysis were conducted on 33 peer-reviewed sources ranging from 2014 to 2025. The analysis utilized a risk-based modeling approach to categorize governance dimensions, contrasting cloud versus non-cloud governance taxonomies and evaluating frameworks for algorithmic auditing and multimodal data fusion.

Findings: The review identifies that successful DG in modern ecosystems requires a shift from static compliance checklists to dynamic, "agile" governance models. Key findings indicate that cloud data governance is distinctively characterized by shared responsibility models that complicate digital forensics and custody. Furthermore, the integration of AI necessitates new governance layers for "grey data" and multimodal inputs, particularly in high-stakes sectors like healthcare and banking. The study confirms that organizational culture and executive sponsorship are as critical as technical controls in enabling secure digital transformation.

Originality/value: This paper proposes a unified conceptual framework that bridges the gap between technical data management and strategic corporate governance. It uniquely addresses the governance of "multimodal" data streams and provides a roadmap for internal auditors to engage with AI systems despite the current lack of standardized guidance.

Operationalizing Trust: A Multi-Layered Framework for Ethical Governance and Explainability in High-Stakes Artificial Intelligence Systems

2025-12-02T14:08:47+00:00

Background: As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems become integral to high-stakes decision-making in healthcare, finance, and education, the opacity of "black box" models presents significant ethical and legal challenges. While deep learning models offer superior predictive accuracy, their lack of interpretability undermines user trust and complicates compliance with emerging privacy regulations.

Methods: This study employs a comprehensive theoretical analysis, synthesizing literature on Cyber Security, AI Governance, and Explainable AI (XAI). We utilize a systems-design perspective to construct a multi-layered framework that aligns algorithmic transparency with ethical privacy requirements. The research evaluates various XAI approaches—including prototype-based reasoning and counterfactual explanations—against metrics of fairness, privacy preservation, and explanation quality.

Results: Our analysis identifies a critical "Transparency-Privacy Paradox," where granular explanations may inadvertently leak sensitive training data. Furthermore, we find that post-hoc explanation methods often suffer from "deceptive transparency," providing plausible but unfaithful justifications for model behavior. Conversely, interpretable-by-design architectures demonstrate a higher capacity for building sustainable trust without compromising privacy standards.

Conclusion: We conclude that trust in AI cannot be achieved through performance metrics alone. Instead, it requires a holistic governance strategy that integrates "Privacy by Design" with robust XAI mechanisms. We propose a shift from retrospective explanation to prospective, interpretable model architecture as the standard for critical infrastructure.

The Presence Form Iridium In Waste Gases Of Copper Production

2025-11-20T12:03:46+00:00

The modern development of metallurgy requires comprehensive processing of raw materials with the extraction of valuable components from technogenic waste. Despite the presence of significant quantities of valuable components in technogenic waste, a significant aspect is the form of occurrence and properties of the extracted component, as their physicochemical properties during interaction with process reagents lead to unpredictable interactions. To select an effective technology and assess the quality of the resulting product, it is necessary to investigate and analyze the chemical and mineralogical formations of compounds in the raw materials. Consequently, iridium is present in the exhaust gases of the copper smelting section. Iridium belongs to the rarest and most refractory elements of the platinum group. Despite its extremely low content in nature, it can be present in the waste flows of non-ferrous metallurgy, especially during the processing of copper-nickel and copper-molybdenum sulfide ores containing platinum metal impurities. The capture and extraction of iridium from exhaust gases is becoming both ecologically relevant and resource-saving. This article is dedicated to the analysis of the forms of iridium's presence in gases, the thermodynamic aspects of its behavior in various types of furnaces, and the technical possibilities of its capture and extraction.

2025-11-27T11:24:13+00:00

Background: The rapid evolution of large language models (LLMs) has outpaced standardized frameworks for their evaluation, deployment, and governance. Diverse evaluation protocols, emergent alignment techniques, and domain adaptation strategies have been proposed, yet a unified, theoretically grounded, and practically applicable framework that connects evaluation, fine-tuning, bias assessment, and end-to-end testing remains underdeveloped.

Objective: This article proposes and elaborates an integrated framework that synthesizes state-of-the-art evaluation methodologies, bias and truthfulness assessments, domain-specific fine-tuning practices, and automation frameworks for end-to-end testing, grounded in existing literature and empirical benchmarks. Methods: Drawing strictly on the provided literature, we construct a conceptual pipeline where standardized evaluation metrics (including human-aligned LLM-based evaluators), bias and safety assays, and domain adaptation workflows interlock to produce responsible deployment. We analytically extend evaluation taxonomies, compare model families (closed versus open foundation models), and propose best-practice procedural guidelines for automated testing.

Results: The framework clarifies relationships among intrinsic metrics (e.g., perplexity and proxy linguistic measures), extrinsic metrics (task performance), human-aligned automated evaluation (G-Eval and OmniEvalKit principles), and qualitative safety/bias tests (StereoSet, CrowS-Pairs, TruthfulQA). We articulate methodological choices for domain fine-tuning and provide an automation blueprint for continuous validation and regression testing in production settings.

Conclusions: The proposed integrated framework operationalizes evaluation and governance for LLMs, balancing performance optimization with societal risk mitigation. Adoption of this framework can reduce deployment failures, improve alignment with human judgments, and create a replicable pipeline for domain-specialized LLMs. Limitations include dependence on evolving evaluation tools and the need for empirical calibration in diverse application domains. The article closes with prioritized avenues for future research, including benchmark harmonization and adaptive testing regimes.

Cyano-Acylation And Cyano-Esterification Of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

2025-11-21T11:25:27+00:00

Managing traffic flows in modern urban infrastructure shapes the efficiency of the transport system. In recent years, the rapid growth of vehicles in major cities of Uzbekistan, especially in Samarkand, has strained existing road networks and increased congestion. Along with building new roads, the introduction of intelligent control systems and reversible traffic methods has become an urgent priority.

Dermatological Patterns In Patients During The Post-Covid Period

2025-11-29T12:14:57+00:00

At the beginning of the pandemic, dermatological changes were rarely documented, possibly due to the lack of conditions for conducting a full skin examination; subsequent studies showed a significantly greater number of cases of skin lesions and the emergence of dermatological manifestations. The true cause of dermatological changes after a previous coronavirus infection, the uncertainty as to whether they appear in connection with the direct effect of the infection or are associated with systemic diseases (for example, reactive or drug-induced), and how best to manage them, are pressing issues that complicate the understanding of these dermatological conditions.
