Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication can considerably improve the efficiency and safety of autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs). However, V2X communication can be considerably degraded in the presence of cyberattacks, such as radio jamming. Traditionally, beamforming techniques can be applied to increase the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR). This paper evaluates broadband beamforming in the mmWave spectrum against radio jamming in V2X communication. The exploitation of the mm Wave spectrum in 5G-V2X communication has a natural advantage against radio jamming. First, attenuation is stronger in the mmWave spectrum in the range of 40 GHz or higher than in the traditional 5.9 GHz. Second, to generate broadband radio jamming, the radio jammer requires much more complex hardware and energy consumption. Third, by using broadband beamforming, broadband radio jamming can be considerably attenuated, limiting the degradation of the spectrum by the radio jamming. According to our numerical results, gains of close to 30 dB SINR can be achieved. We propose a broad-band beamforming technique based on the canonical polyadic decomposition via generalized eigenvalue decomposition (CPD-GEVD). The CPD-GEVD broadband beamforming outperforms state-of-the-art beamforming algorithms in most V2X scenarios presented in this paper.

The use of private or consortium blockchains in organizations’ applications is growing. A relevant aspect of blockchains is the choice of consensus mechanism. This decision delimits which blockchain solutions are suitable for the private scenario. Once the consensus mechanism is chosen, more than one blockchain may be enabled. However, this decision making is not trivial and requires detailed experimental indicators about algorithms and blockchains performance. In this context, we provide a comprehensive performance analysis of the Raft consensus mechanism based on its implementation in Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum blockchain solutions. We performed our experiments on an OpenStack private cloud using each blockchain developer’s default settings for virtual machines. Our findings show how the implementation of each solution can impact the application’s performance under certain conditions.

Literacy, or the ability to read and write, is a crucial indicator of success in life and greater society. It is estimated that 85% of people in juvenile delinquent systems cannot adequately read or write, that more than half of those with substance abuse issues have complications in reading or writing and that two-thirds of those who do not complete high school lack proper literacy skills [1]. Furthermore, young children who do not possess reading skills matching grade level by the fourth grade are approximately 80% likely to not catch up at all [2]. Many may believe that in a developed country such as the United States, literacy fails to be an issue; however, this is a dangerous misunderstanding. Globally an estimated 1.19 trillion dollars are lost every year due to issues in literacy; in the USA, the loss is an estimated 300 billion [3]. To put it in more shocking terms, one in five American adults still fail to comprehend basic sentences [4]. Making matters worse, the only tools available now to correct a lack of reading and writing ability are found in expensive tutoring or other programs that oftentimes fail to be able to reach the required audience. In this paper, our team puts forward a new way of teaching English spelling and word recognitions to grade school students in the United States: Wordification. Wordification is a web application designed to teach English literacy using principles of linguistics applied to the orthographic and phonological properties of words in a manner not fully utilized previously in any computer-based teaching application.

The integration of quantum computing into classical machine learning architectures has emerged as a promising approach to enhance model efficiency and computational capacity. In this work, we introduce the Quantum Kernel-Based Long Short-Term Memory (QK-LSTM) network, which utilizes quantum kernel functions within the classical LSTM framework to capture complex, non-linear patterns in sequential data. By embedding input data into a high-dimensional quantum feature space, the QK-LSTM model reduces the reliance on large parameter sets, achieving effective compression while maintaining accuracy in sequence modeling tasks. This quantum-enhanced architecture demonstrates efficient convergence, robust loss minimization, and model compactness, making it suitable for deployment in edge computing environments and resource-limited quantum devices (especially in the NISQ era). Benchmark comparisons reveal that QK-LSTM achieves performance on par with classical LSTM models, yet with fewer parameters, underscoring its potential to advance quantum machine learning applications in natural language processing and other domains requiring efficient temporal data processing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and marketing have transformed consumer behavior and shopping experiences, especially through Recommender Systems (RSs) in e-commerce. RSs use algorithms to provide personalized recommendations, enhancing shopping convenience. However, this raises data privacy and ethical concerns, as RSs rely on user data. This research explores the quality determinants of RSs and their impact on consumer behavior, focusing on privacy awareness and its effect on repurchase intentions. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, the study targets Indonesian respondents aged 18–40 with e-commerce experience. Findings reveal that recommendation quality, especially self-reference and vividness, significantly influences purchasing decisions. Respondents prefer recommendations that match their preferences and are visually appealing. Positive shopping experiences are linked to efficient and accurate RSs, but there's a need for improvements in transparency, novelty, diversity, and advanced technologies like AR. Respondents are aware of digital data storage but have limited understanding of privacy concerns. They trust e-commerce platforms with basic personal details but are hesitant to share sensitive information. Despite privacy issues, e-commerce remains vital, with respondents emphasizing the need for transparency, robust security, and clear explanations for data use to maintain trust. Addressing these issues not only enhances customer experience but also demonstrates that consumer trust directly impacts the sustainability and success of the business.

Overconsumption of resources is a global issue. To deal with resource depletion and mitigate impending crises, the circular economy (CE) solution provides an ecosystem by reducing waste via the reuse, repair, refurbishment, and recycling the existing materials and products. However, as the complexity of supply chains is increasing an effective CE management is very crucial. We want to address this issue by performing a feasibility study with AI-enabled blockchain technology using our developed customised NFT platform, TrackGenesis NFT, along with the *** architecture for CE management to decrease transaction costs, enhance performance and communication along the supply chain, and reduce carbon footprints. Circulogy is an e-waste management system that can respond to supply chain challenges using blockchain technologies. A supply chain can get complicated very quickly, considering that each product component has its supply chain. In our proposed solution, blockchain provides a solution to this by establishing transparency in every node of the product's lifecycle and users can exchange or sell/buy NFTs. There are multiple copies of the audit trail for every transaction using blockchain, which will provide the ability to track and reuse/recycle Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
