In 2023 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selected Ascon as the standard for lightweight cryptography (LWC), formalized as NIST SP 800-232. As Ascon becomes the basis for confdentiality, integrity ...

The Offshore Indus Basin, along Pakistan's passive continental margin in the Arabian Sea, holds a thick Cenozoic clastic succession with all the essential petroleum system elements, yet remains lightly drilled and commercially ...

The Mansehra Granite of the Lesser Himalaya, northern Pakistan, represents a peraluminous S-type granitoid emplaced during Cambro-Ordovician crustal magmatism and is spatially associated with pegmatite veins formed during ...

The air quality within livestock facilities is adversely affected by elevated levels of dust, particulate matter, and microorganisms, posing significant health risks to both animals and farm workers. Studies show that ...

Renewable generation and electricity demand are variable, which makes short-term forecasting difficult for smart-microgrid energy management. This thesis develops and evaluates a hybrid Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and ...

The increasing demand for critical minerals required in renewable-energy technologies has encouraged the reassessment of underexplored sedimentary and evaporitic successions. This study evaluates the reconnaissance-level ...
