Root Cause Analysis for Observed Increased Sedimentation in a Commercial Residue Hydrocracker
Published on 2025-02-27 by Ivelina Shishkova, Dicho Stratiev, Petko Kirov, Rosen Dinkov, Sotir Sotirov, Evdokia Sotirova, Veselina Bureva, Krassimir Atanassov, Vesislava Toteva, Svetlin Vasilev, Dobromir Yordanov, Radoslava Nikolova, Anife Veli @MDPI
Abstract: Ebullated bed vacuum residue hydrocracking is a well-established technology providing a high conversion level of low-value residue fractions in high-value light fuels. The main challenge in this technology when processing vacuum residues derived from different crude oils is the sediment formation rate that leads to equipment fouling and cycle length shortening. With the severity enhancement, the asphaltenes become more aromatic and less soluble which leads to sediment formation when the differen[...]
Our summary: Evaluation of sediment formation in a commercial residue hydrocracker revealed the impact of feed properties and process conditions on the increased sediment content, leading to equipment fouling and cycle length shortening.

Privacy-Preserved Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Based on a Dual-Component Approach
Published on 2025-02-27 by Mingxu Yang, Chuhua Huang, Xin Huang, Shengjin Hou @MDPI
Abstract: Edge-assisted visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is widely used in autonomous driving, robot navigation, and augmented reality for environmental perception, map construction, and real-time positioning. However, it poses significant privacy risks, as input images may contain sensitive information, and generated 3D point clouds can reconstruct original scenes. To address these concerns, this paper proposes a dual-component privacy-preserving approach for visual SLAM. First, a priv[...]
Our summary: This paper presents a dual-component privacy-preserving approach for visual SLAM, combining object detection and image inpainting for privacy protection and an encryption algorithm for 3D point cloud data. The proposed method effectively safeguards privacy-sensitive information while maintaining accurate pose estimation in dynamic outdoor scenes and prevents unauthorized attacks on recovering the original point cloud.

A Secure and Lightweight Group Mobility Authentication Scheme for 6LoWPAN Networks
Published on 2025-02-27 by Fatma Foad Ashrif, Elankovan A. Sundararajan, Mohammad Kamrul Hasan, Rami Ahmad @MDPI
Abstract: The integration of Internet Protocol version 6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) provided IP technologies within wireless sensor networks that dramatically increased the Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, to facilitate efficient mobility management for resource-constrained IP-based sensor nodes, the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) standard has been introduced to reduce communication overhead. However, the standard has addressed security and mobility authentication challenges[...]
Our summary: Secure and Lightweight Group Mobility Authentication Scheme proposed for 6LoWPAN networks utilizes innovative security measures to ensure efficient and secure communication for highly constrained sensor nodes, addressing challenges in mobility management and group handovers while maintaining privacy and reducing overhead.

Modular Neural Network Model for Biometric Authentication of Personnel in Critical Infrastructure Facilities Based on Facial Images
Published on 2025-02-27 by Oleksandr Korchenko, Ihor Tereikovskyi, Ruslana Ziubina, Liudmyla Tereikovska, Oleksandr Korystin, Oleh Tereikovskyi, Volodymyr Karpinskyi @MDPI
Abstract: The widespread implementation of neural network tools for biometric authentication based on facial and iris images at critical infrastructure facilities has significantly increased the level of security. However, modern requirements dictate the need to modernize these tools to increase resistance to spoofing attacks, as well as to provide a base for assessing the compliance of the psycho-emotional state of personnel with job responsibilities, which is difficult to ensure using traditional monoli[...]
Our summary: Development of a modular neural network model for biometric authentication of personnel in critical infrastructure facilities based on facial images, increasing security and resistance to spoofing attacks, and assessing psycho-emotional state of personnel.

Genetic Diversity in Apricot Orchards Across Key Growing Regions in Slovakia and Austria, Along with Cultivar Authentication of Apricot Genotypes Found in the Market
Published on 2025-02-25 by Martina Hudcovicová, Lenka Kl?ová, Marcela Gubišová, Jozef Gubiš, Erika Zetochová, Micha Horacek, Ján Kraic, Michaela Havrlentová, Katarína Ondrei?ková @MDPI
Abstract: This study was aimed at evaluating the genetic diversity and authentication of apricot cultivars from Slovak and Austrian orchards. Eleven highly polymorphic SSR markers were used to analyse 53 apricot genotypes. A high level of genetic diversity was observed, with a mean of 13 alleles per locus and a mean expected heterozygosity of 0.811. The most polymorphic locus, UDP97-402, exhibited a probability of identity of 0.025, indicating a high discriminatory power. Differentiation analyses revealed[...]
Our summary: Evaluation of genetic diversity and cultivar authentication in Slovak and Austrian apricot orchards using SSR markers. High level of genetic diversity observed with distinct groupings based on geographical origin and pedigree. SSR markers effective in identifying cultivars and detecting mislabelled samples.
