An Automated Smart Contract Repair Framework for Reentrancy, Integer Overflow, and Denial- of-Service Vulnerabilities
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel static analysis framework designed to bridge a long-standing gap in Ethereum smart contract security: the disconnect between vulnerability detection and automated remediation. Although widely adopted tools such as Slither and Oyente are highly effective at identifying security weaknesses, they stop short of providing actionable fixes. As a result, developers manually patch vulnerabilities, a process that is not only time-consuming but also susceptible to human error …

Cosmetic Topical Formulations: Design Strategies, Skin Interaction Mechanisms, Clinical–Cosmetic Applications, and Emerging Trends
Abstract: Cosmetic topical products are central to modern skin care, as they deliver active ingredients directly to the skin surface and upper layers to improve appearance, texture, and function. By acting locally on the epidermis and adnexal structures, these preparations help manage dryness, photoaging, pigmentation, acne, and sensitive-skin conditions while minimizing systemic exposure. A wide range of dosage forms—creams, lotions, gels, ointments, serums, sprays, and transdermal-inspired cosmetic patches—are engineered to modulate …

Experimental Investigation into Surface Roughness of Polished Zinc Plate with Ultrasonic Vibration Using Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing
Abstract: This research investigates how applying ultrasonic vibrations influences the surface finish quality of zinc plates when using the Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (SP-MAF) method. In SP-MAF, magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs)—amalgamation of ferromagnetic and abrasive materials—are guided by a magnetic field to achieve precise surface finishing. Introducing ultrasonic vibration improves the effectiveness of the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB), which forms as the MAPs align along the magnetic field lines. …
