The high importance of demand-side management for the stability of future smart grids came into focus years ago and is today undisputed among a wide spectrum of energy market participants, and within the research community.The increasing development of communication infrastructure, in tandem with the rising transparency of power grids, supports the

Among several approaches to privacy-preserving cryptographic schemes, we have concentrated on noise-free homomorphic encryption.It is a symmetric key encryption that supports homomorphic operations on encrypted data.We present a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme based on sedenion algebra over finite ℤn rings.The innovation of the Sui

Metaheuristic optimization is considered one of the most efficient and powerful techniques of recent decades as it can deal effectively with complex optimization problems.The performance of the optimization technique relies on two main components: exploration and exploitation.Unfortunately, the performance is limited by a weakness in one of the com

Cells respond to extracellular mechanical forces through the assembly of integrin adhesion complexes (IACs) that provide a scaffold through which cells sense and transduce responses to those forces.IACs are composed of transmembrane integrin receptors that bind to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins externally and connect with the actomyosin cytosk
