Dark matter, dark energy, and alternate models: A review
The nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) which is supposed to constitute about 95% of the energy density of the universe is still a mystery. There is no shortage of ideas regarding the nature of both. While some candidates for DM are clearly ruled out, there is still a plethora of viable particles that fit the bill. In the context of DE, while current observations favour a cosmological constant picture, there are other competing models that are equally likely. This paper reviews the different possible candidates for DM including exotic candidates and their possible detection. This review also covers the different models for DE and the possibility of unified models for DM and DE. Keeping in mind the negative results in some of the ongoing DM detection experiments, here we also review the possible alternatives to both DM and DE (such as MOND and modifications of general relativity) and possible means of observationally distinguishing between the alternatives. 2017 COSPAR -
DarcyForchheimer Nanoliquid Flow and Radiative Heat Transport over Convectively Heated Surface with Chemical Reaction
Abstract: Improving the heat transport of energy transmission fluids is a vital challenge in numerous engineering applications such as photovoltaic thermal management, heat exchangers, transport and energy-saving processes, solar collectors, automotive refrigeration, electronic equipment refrigeration, and engine applications. Nanofluids address the challenges of thermal management in engineering applications. The DarcyForchheimer flow of magneto-nanofluid initiated by a stretched plate is investigated with application of the Buongiorno model. The features of the nth order chemical reaction, Rosseland thermal energy radiation, and non-uniform heat sink/source are also scrutinized. The Buongiorno nanoliquid model is implemented, which includes the frenzied motion of the nanoparticles and the thermal diffusion of the nanoparticles (NPs). Thermal and solutal convection heating boundary conditions are also incorporated. Boundary layer approximations are used in the mathematical derivation. The non-linear control problem is deciphered with application of the RungeKutta shooting method (RKSM). The results for the relevant parameters are analyzed in dimensionless profiles. In addition, the friction factor on the plate, the heat transport rate, and the mass transport rate of the nanoparticles are calculated and analyzed. 2022, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. -
Dandelion Algorithm for Optimal Location and Sizing of Battery Energy Storage Systemsin Electrical Distribution Networks
This paper describes a new way to improve the performance of an EDN by integrating distributed battery energy storage systems (BESs) in the best way possible. This method is based on the Dandelion Algorithm (DA). The search space for BES locations is first predetermined using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs), and then DA is used to determine the optimal locations and sizes. The reduction of real power distribution loss is regarded as the primary objective function, and the impact of BESs is extended to examine the network voltage profile, voltage stability, and GHG emissions. IEEE 33-busEDN is used to calculate the computational efficiency of LSF-DA. Results show that DA is more efficient than Archimedes optimization (AOA), future search algorithm(FSA), pathfinder algorithm(PFA), and butterfly optimization algorithm(BOA) algorithms. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed DA enhances all technological and environmental factors and RDN performance.

Dampers to Suppress Vibrations in Hydro Turbine-Generator Shaft Due to Subsynchronous Resonance
There are numerous applications to evaluate the damage caused by subsynchronous resonance (SSR) to a turbine-generator shaft. Despite multiple applications, there are relatively few studies on shaft misalignment in the literature. In this paper, stresses in the existing turbine-generator shaft due to subsynchronous resonance were studied using finite element analysis (FEA). The 3D finite element model reveals that the most stressed part of the shaft is near the generator terminal. A new nonlinear damping scheme is modeled to reflect the torsional interaction and to suppress the mechanical vibration caused by subsynchronous resonance (SSR). Stresses developed due to the addition of capacitors in the system at high rotational speeds and deformation of the shaft during various modes of oscillations were evaluated. Experimental investigations are carried out in reaction turbine connected to a 3kVA generator. Simulation is carried out for the experimental setup using ANSYS. According to the simulation results, the damper installed near the generator terminal provides satisfactory damping performance and the subsynchronous oscillations are suppressed. 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -

Cytokine see-saw across pregnancy, its related complexities and consequences
During pregnancy, a woman's immune system adapts to the changing hormonal concentrations, causing immunologic transition. These immunologic changes are required for a full-term pregnancy, preserving the fetus' innate and adaptive immunity. Preterm labor, miscarriage, gestational diabetes mellitus, and pre-eclampsia are all caused by abnormal cytokine expression during pregnancy and childbirth. A disruption in the cytokine balance can lead to autoimmune diseases or microbiologic infections, or to autoimmune illness remission during pregnancy with postpartum recurrence. The cytokine treatments are essential and damaging to the developing fetus. The current review summarizes the known research on cytokine changes during pregnancy and their possible consequences for pregnant women. Studies suggest that customizing medication for each woman and her progesterone levels should be based on the cytokine profile of each pregnant woman. Immune cells and chemicals play an important function in development of the placenta and embryo. During pregnancy, T cells divide and move, and a careful balance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is necessary. The present review focuses on the mother's endurance in generating fetal cells and the immunologic mechanism involved. 2022 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. -

Cyclic property of iterative eccentrication of a graph
The eccentric graph of a graph G, denoted by Ge, is a derived graph with the vertex set same as that of G and two vertices in Ge are adjacent if one of them is an eccentric vertex of the other. The process of constructing iterative eccentric graphs, denoted by Gek is called eccentrication. A graph G is said to be ?-cyclic(t,l) if G,Ge,Ge2,...,Gek,Gek+1,...,Gek+l are the only non-isomorphic graphs, and the graph Gek+l+1 is isomorphic to Gek. In this paper, we prove the existence of an ?-cycle for any simple graph. The importance of this result lies in the fact that the enumeration of eccentrication of a graph reduces to a finite problem. Furthermore, the enumeration of a corresponding sequence of graph parameters such as chromatic number, domination number, independence number, minimum and maximum degree, etc., reduces to a finite problem. 2023 World Scientific Publishing Company. -

Cybercrimes in the Associated World
Phrases that scarcely existed a decade ago are now a part of our day-to-day lifestyle, as criminals use malicious new technologies to commit cyber attacks against businesses, individuals, and governments. These crimes cause serious harm and impose real threats to victims worldwide either physically or virtually. There are no borders in cyberspace. Attacks can come from any place and at any time. Cybercrime can take many forms, but they all have a digital platform/environment in common. It can be done with both good and bad intentions. But, nowadays, the most common types of cybercrime activities such as phishing scams, identity theft, Internet frauds, online intellectual property or patent infringements, online harassment, and cyber stalking are sadly very widespread in todays associated world. Cyber bullying and online harassment activities spread casually in social media posts and comments or through direct messages and also via emails. The main motive of these messages is to threaten either an individual or a group. Such kinds of cybercrime activities are extremely damaging to the victims mental health. Government agencies working to investigate cybercrimes have reported multiple records of victims developing mental illnesses and even ending up committing suicide. On the other hand we have phishing scams, one of the widespread crime activities. Organizations have detected an increase in the ratio of phishing emails to professional emails from unknown or anonymous service providers appending fake attachments and invoices. These files and attachments may contain malicious payloads to scam people and to create a backdoor in that system, so the attacker can gain access to the system anytime and from anywhere without the victims knowledge. This has been considered as one of the major advantages for the attacker. Cybercrimes have not restricted to only these forms of criminal activities. A wide variety of new attacks have been created and have spread all over the world through commonly used platforms such as social media sites, blogs, and news portals. We are living in a digital world where all our activities are being monitored by someone, somewhere - even keystrokes are being monitored using keyloggers. Nothing seems to be secret and protected unless you are tech savvy. National agencies are keeping a close watch on all individual online activities to prevent illegal activities from happening. No longer the delete option is possible in this digital world; rather, only migration of data from one location to another or from a local server to a cloud server is possible. In our day-to-day lives, several new viruses and attack mechanisms are triggered by attackers by following very new tactics with the help of more complex algorithms. So, its time to advance our knowledge on protecting our valuable assets by spending time in learning and following proper online practices. 2024 selection and editorial matter, S. Vijayalakshmi, P.
