Blockchain Node Intelligence Based onDecentralized Framework
Blockchain enhances transparency, transaction speed, and governance reliability for organizations such as manufacturing and supply chain organizations by operating in decentralized environments. Supply chain traceability involves tracking products from their origin to customers, requiring transparency, authenticity, and high efficiency. This paper tries to address the performance gain and challenges in blockchain-based supply chain by making efficient use of on-prem and cloud environments in the blockchain network. As the volume of data being generated in blockchain network continues to grow, data security and performance become increasingly critical. Many existing big data security systems rely on controlled third-party providers, making them vulnerable to various security risks. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution by addressing key challenges such as scalability, immutability, trust, data governance, and transparency, thereby enhancing the protection of personal information. This work focuses on assessment of blockchain processing performance through on-prem, distributed, and decentralized environments and possibility of blockchain nodes to have intelligence, optimized processing capabilities by gaining appropriate infrastructure. We analyze the key challenges of blockchain when execution happens in a standalone system than in scalable ones. We tested a few popular mining processes on cloud platforms and a local system to assess execution speed and discuss a suitable platform to host blockchain.

Algorithmic Governance in ESG Ratings: Addressing Bias and Enhancing Transparency in AI- Driven Sustainable Finance
ESG ratings serve as guides for corporate investment and strategic decisions and are appended with numerous biases, inconsistencies, and lack of transparency. The present chapter attempts to examine the ratings of 100 companies from different industries and regions and compare S&P Global with MSCI and Sustainalytics. The chapter researches the effects of size, sector, and regional biases on scores using a mixed- method approach. Findings show that energy- intensive sectors are downgraded because of sustainability efforts; large firms get higher grades due to better disclosure, and performance is also higher for companies in jurisdictions marked by stringent regulations. Inconsistencies in ratings are illustrated further by examples of the specific study cases that deal with BlackRock and Tesla. This chapter brings an AI- enabled framework that uses blockchain and machine learning, as well as real- time information, to boost transparency and standardization in response to these issues. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Biomass-derived carbon supported cobalt-phospho-boride as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for enhanced alkaline water splitting
Developing efficient and low-cost bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting in order to reduce the future energy crisis is crucial and challenging. Herein, a facile two-step fabrication via pyrolysis and chemical reduction was used for the synthesis of biomass-derived carbon-based electrocatalyst (MT) from mulberry bark and its subsequent modification with cobalt phospho-boride (MT/CoPB) for efficient bifunctional electrocatalysis in alkaline media. The effect of B/P ratios and carbon-to-metal ratios on electrocatalytic performance of HER was investigated. Notably, the optimized MT/CoPB catalyst (B/P = 5, C : M = 2 : 1) exhibited a lower overpotential of ?86 mV for HER and 310 mV for OER to reach the current density of 10 mA cm?2. The robust electrocatalytic performance of MT/CoPB towards the HER and OER was attributed to the combined effect of carbon and CoPB. Notably, it achieved a low cell voltage of 1.59 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm?2, also maintaining reliable long-term stability. Characterization studies revealed that the enhanced performance was due to the amorphous structure of the catalyst, high electrochemical surface area, and efficient charge transfer. This work demonstrates the potential of biomass-derived carbon-based materials in the development of cost-effective and durable electrocatalysts for water splitting and green hydrogen production. 2025 RSC. -

Federated and Explainable AI Models for Secure FinTech Transactions in Digital Manufacturing Supply Chains
Digital manufacturing supply chains are becoming increasingly dependent on inbuilt FinTech services to perform automated payments, invoicing, and settlements which presents sensitive financial and operational data to security and privacy threats. This article is an empirical paper concerning the application of Federated Learning (FL) and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in securing FinTech transactions in decentralized manufacturing supply chains. The suggested framework will facilitate joint fraud and anomaly-related detection without exchanging raw data between supply-chain participants. Different privacy mechanisms such as client-level and secure aggregation are integrated to safeguard sensitive data and minimize the risks of inferences. Explainable AI methods are used such as SHAP, local surrogate models, to enable transparency and auditability as well as regulatory compliance. Experimental evidence has shown that federated models can attain almost centralized detection accuracy with much stronger privacy guarantees and explainability procedures can give insightful and interpretable information about model decisions. The paper identifies the trade-offs between accuracy, privacy, and computational overhead and concludes that federated and explainable AI provides a convenient, secure, and compliant solution to FinTech-enabled digital manufacturing ecosystems. 2026 IEEE. -

Inplane Lateral Load Behaviour of Masonry Walls
Masonry is one of the commonly used construction technology both in urban and rural areas. In this paper the in-plane behaviour of masonry walls is analytically studied considering existing closed form equations. Previous studies have proven that the lateral load behaviour mainly depends on the aspect ratios (h/L) as well as the axial loads. From this analysis the governing failure is determined and the lateral load versus lateral deflection curve is plotted for various percentages of axial loads. This graph gives the ductility of the wall. This concept is further applied to a simple masonry structure and the push over curve is plotted. 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
