A Study on the Adoption of Blockchain for IoT Devices in Supply Chain.

The integration of blockchain and IoT enables promising solutions in decentralized environments in contrast with centralized systems. The blockchain brings forth features such as fault tolerance, security, and transparency of the data in IoT devices. As there is requirement of consensus among the network nodes to agree on a single-state-of-ledger, nonetheless, the extensive computational requirement for the consensus protocol becomes a limitation in resource-constrained IoT devices with limited battery, computation, and communication capabilities.

Modulation theory for pattern forming systems with a spatial 1:2-resonance.

It is the purpose of this paper to justify the use of modulation equations for pattern forming systems in the case of multiple Turing instabilities with critical wave numbers having a ratio 1:2 by proving approximation results, presenting attractivity results, and discussing the existence of modulating fronts.
