New to the Ethereum platform with version 2.0 is the Beacon chain. Validator status, attestation information, and many more are maintained via the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus protocol, which is relied upon. The Ethereum 2.0 beacon chain relies on the validation and completion of checkpoints to validate and finish all the blocks associated with those checkpoints. By formally verifying it using the SPIN model checker, this research tackles the issue of the dependability and security of the Beacon Chain’s justification and finalization operations. Due of its novelty (launched in 2020), there is little any literature on the subject. Additionally, no previous study has formally verified the beacon chain using the SPIN model checker. The study makes use of PROMELA, a formal specification language, to formally outline the reasoning and finalization method of the Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain. Utilizing the SPIN Model Checker, a program graph is generated for this procedure, which formulaically expresses safety features via the use of linear temporal logic (LTL). To make sure everything is in order, we run the SPIN model checker with the program graph and LTL formulae as inputs to see whether the program graph satisfies the properties. This is the formal verification process.

Speech-to-Speech Translation (S2ST) plays a crucial role in reducing language barriers and enabling seamless communication between people from different linguistic backgrounds. Traditional S2ST systems typically rely on a cascaded design, where components like Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Machine Translation (MT), and Text-to-Speech (TTS) work together in sequence to complete the translation process. Cascaded models are widely used S2ST models and are prone to error propagation (EP) across the pipeline, significantly impacting translation quality. EP is discussed in various literature. However, a comprehensive quantitative analysis is not available, particularly for low-resource languages like Hindi and English. This work presents a detailed quantitative study of EP in Hindi-English cascaded S2ST models, bridging this critical research gap. This study utilizes both text-based and textless evaluation metrics such as BLEU, Translation Edit Rate (TER), and BLASER score for translation accuracy to quantify the impact of EP at various stages of the pipeline on the FLEURES dataset. The result analysis shows that due to EP, the translation quality of the S2ST model decreases in BLEU score of 11.55 for English→Hindi and BLEU score of 12.16 for Hindi→English. Similarly, reference-based BLASER decreases by 0.61 and 0.45 for English→Hindi and Hindi→English, respectively.

The rapidly advancing cyber-physical domain of synthetic biology modifies the functionality of micro-organisms which can act as living computational devices. Applications include intelligent drug delivery, customized cancer therapies, and pollution detection and mitigation. While many synthetic biology applications have been proposed, prototyped, and even deployed, these systems often lack standard approaches to verify their safety and security. One approach, the assurance case, provides evidence demonstrating proper implementation in the target application, and is often used in other safety-critical domains. However, synthetic biologists lack guidance in developing assurance arguments and tracing safety and security requirements to evidence as required for building assurance cases. Although there has been some research combining safety and security artifacts, such techniques often require extensive expertise from different domains and may not be accessible to synthetic biologists. In this paper we propose SynBioTrace, an assistive process to help propagate information from risk-based analyses of such systems to preliminary assurance cases. SynBioTrace preserves traceability among its steps so that the assurance case can be further refined. We apply and evaluate it through a case study based on a real-world synthetic biology application. Our case study suggests this approach could aid synthetic biologists in identifying, documenting, and structuring safety and security artifacts, as well as linking evidence to support traceability for a complete, integrated assurance case.

The accurate identification of diseases based on patient symptoms and demographic data is a critical area of healthcare research, with the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes. In this study, we employed machine learning algorithms, specifically the XGBClassifier, to classify diseases based on a dataset containing patient symptoms and demographic information such as age, gender, fever, cough, fatigue, and other health indicators. To ensure model interpretability and transparency, we incorporated Explainable AI (XAI) techniques like SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) and LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations), which allow us to understand and interpret the feature contributions to the model’s predictions. The results demonstrated that the XGBClassifier achieved an accuracy of 81.42%, outperforming other machine learning models tested. This study emphasizes the importance of combining XAI with machine learning for disease classification, offering greater transparency in the decision-making process, which is vital in healthcare settings.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a decentralized database system where transactions are recorded and verified across multiple nodes. Its key features include immutability, time-stamping, and consensus-based validation. Numerous DLT applications are in supply chain management, intellectual property, cross border payments, energy trading, real estate, and online donations. DeFi, a combination of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, offers financial services without intermediaries. Hence transactions with various digital assets based on cryptocurrency price feeds needs an automated framework. Smart contracts, self-executing contracts with terms directly written into code, automate processes and reduce manual intervention. This paper proposes a decentralized financial trading model using the AAVE protocol. AAVE is a decentralized platform that allows for transactions with various digital assets based on cryptocurrency price feeds. Proposed model uses Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network, to provide accurate and reliable price feeds. IPFS is used for data storage, while Graph is employed for indexing and querying blockchain data. The paper presents an example of a DeFi protocol to simulate banking operations, showcasing the potential of DeFi and DLT in revolutionizing traditional banking processes.
