Modern immigration management systems face three critical challenges: security vulnerabilities in centralized databases exemplified by a 2023 breach exposing over 120,000 records processing inefficiencies resulting in delays over 30 days, and interoperability gaps among stakeholders. Although blockchain has been proposed, current implementations often sacrifice regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR) or scalability, and lack real-world validation. We propose an enhanced Hyperledger Fabric 2.5 architecture with three innovations: a modified PBFT consensus protocol achieving 1,247 TPS with fault tolerance [Formula: see text]; integration of zk-SNARKs for privacy-preserving document verification with 97.3% accuracy while ensuring GDPR compliance; and a hybrid storage model using IPFS to reduce ledger bloat by 58%. The permissioned network employs role-specific channels secured by AES-256-GCM encryption and audited via Merkle trees. In a 90-day deployment at two European border checkpoints, the system achieved a median visa approval latency of 47.8 ms, completely prevented forged documents, yielded 94% operator satisfaction, and reduced energy consumption by 62% compared to Fabric 2.4. With an overall efficiency score of [Formula: see text], our solution sets a new benchmark for secure, scalable, and compliant immigration infrastructure.

Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs), including G-agents, EGA (ethyltabun, phosphonamidic acid, P-cyano-N,N-diethyl-, ethyl ester) and V-agents, VM (O-ethyl S-(2-diethylaminoethyl) phosphonothiolate), are highly toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) with severe risks to human health and environmental security. This study proposes a chemometric-driven framework for forensic tracing of their synthetic pathways using high-resolution GC × GC-TOFMS. By integrating advanced statistical analysis, we identified 160 synthesis-associated chemical attribution signatures (CAS) for EGA and 138 process-specific CAS for VM, with 11 overlapping markers, including ethoxyphosphates and diethylaminoethylamine derivatives.

The widespread dissemination of fake news presents a critical challenge to the integrity of digital information and erodes public trust. This urgent problem necessitates the development of sophisticated and reliable automated detection mechanisms. This study addresses this gap by proposing a robust fake news detection framework centred on a transformer-based architecture.

The increasing dependence on cloud computing as a cornerstone of modern technological infrastructures has introduced significant challenges in resource management. Traditional load-balancing techniques often prove inadequate in addressing cloud environments' dynamic and complex nature, resulting in suboptimal resource utilization and heightened operational costs. This paper presents a novel smart load-balancing strategy incorporating advanced techniques to mitigate these limitations.

Background: Microwave Doppler sensors, capable of detecting minute physiological movements, enable the measurement of biometric information, such as walking patterns, heart rate, and respiration. Unlike fingerprint and facial recognition systems, they offer authentication without physical contact or privacy concerns. This study focuses on non-contact seismocardiography using microwave Doppler sensors and aims to apply this technology for biometric authentication.

The exponential growth of data in the information era has pushed conventional optical communication technology to its limitations, including inefficient spectral utilization, slow data rate, and inherent security vulnerabilities. Here, a transformative high-speed organic spectral wireless communication (SWC) technology enabled by a flexible, miniaturized, and high-performance organic hyperspectrometer is proposed that integrates ultrahigh-speed data transmission with hardware-level encryption. By synergistically combining organic photodetector arrays with tunable responsivities and spectral-tunable organic filters, the organic hyperspectrometer achieves a broad spectral detection range of 400 to 900 nm, resolution of 1.
