Unicef waarschuwt voor watertekort in Gaza: ‘Kinderen zullen sterven van dorst’
Drinkwater in Gaza: Het VN-agentschap benadrukt dat de watercrisis van de ene op de andere dag kan worden opgelost als Israël de aanvoer van brandstof weer toestaat in Gaza. „Geen van deze problemen is logistiek of technisch van aard. Ze zijn politiek. Ontkenning is beleid geworden.”

Atomic-scale insights on grain boundary segregation in a cathode battery material
The grain boundary segregation of the Co-free pristine spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material has been studied by transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography. The segregation of Mn and the depletion of Ni at grain boundaries was observed by electron energy loss spectroscopy. These observations were also confirmed by atom probe tomography at other grain boundaries, which also revealed segregation of O and depletion of Li at grain boundaries. In addition, both methods revealed the …

Bidirectional Biometric Authentication Using Transciphering and (T)FHE
Biometric authentication systems pose privacy risks, as leaked templates such as iris or fingerprints can lead to security breaches. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables secure encrypted evaluation, but its deployment is hindered by large ciphertexts, high key overhead, and limited trust models. We propose the Bidirectional Transciphering Framework (BTF), combining FHE, transciphering, and a non-colluding trusted party to enable efficient and privacy-preserving biometric authentication. T…

Global ocean acidification has passed safe planetary boundary threshold: Study
A new assessment finds that the world’s oceans crossed the safe threshold for acidification in 2020, breaching a key planetary boundary and posing serious threats to marine life. Ocean acidification is caused when excess atmospheric carbon dioxide, resulting from human activities like burning fossil fuels, dissolves in seawater, forming carbonic acid that increases the water’s […]

Boundary behaviour of layer potentials for the multi-term time-fractional diffusion equation
This paper investigates the boundary behaviour of layer potentials for the multi-term time-fractional diffusion equation (MTFDE) across the moving boundary. First, we establish the jump relation for the double-layer potential associated with the fundamental solution of the inhomogeneous MTFDE. Second, we prove the continuity of the double-layer potential generated by the kernel corresponding to the homogeneous MTFDE. Krasnoschok obtained similar results for the time-fractional diffusion equatio…

Enstrophy dynamics for flow past a solid body with no-slip boundary condition
In the paper we study the impact of the boundary vorticity distribution on the dynamics of enstrophy for flows around streamlined body. A new energy identity is derived in the article, which includes the boundary values of the vortex function. For the Stokes system the dissipativity of enstrophy is proved. For the Navier-Stokes system a new equation of the enstrophy dynamics is obtained.
