A Novel Image Encryption Scheme Based on Walsh Compressed Quantum Spinning Chaotic Lorenz System

In today’s era, a fascinating discipline is immensely influencing a wide miscellany in different fields of science and technology known as quantum cryptography. The amalgamation of different unconventional themes of information security and fast computing have appended inventiveness and creativity into the performance of quantum systems which exhibits astonishing outcomes surprisingly for the most complicated nonlinear models. The exploitation of chaos theory at quantum scale is a dynamical new approach towards the system of information security. Regarding this a novel image encryption approach based on modern standards of chaos, fast computing and quantum encryption has been proposed in this article. In the designed scheme, Walsh transformation is exploited to get standard image compression as to reduce data being processed resulting in fast computing. Quantum spinning and rotation operators leading new protocols, compressed data is encrypted using quantum spinning and rotation operators. For adding more confusion capability in contemplated algorithm discrete fractional chaotic Lorenz system is also accomplished. The proposed system has been validated through statistical analysis, the assessments accordingly by statistical analysis tests clearly emphasis that proposed scheme of encryption is comparatively equitable for the digital images security.

     

Application of extended Fan sub-equation method to $$\mathbf {}$$-dimensional nonlinear dispersive modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with fractional evolution

The article studies the application of the extended Fan sub-equation method to \((1+1)\)-dimensional nonlinear dispersive modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with fractional evolution. This equation describes the hydromagnetic waves in cold plasma, acoustic waves in inharmonic crystals and acoustic gravity waves in compressible fluids. The structure of the extended Fan sub-equation method on the basis of time-fractional derivative is presented. The main idea of the method is to take full advantage of the general elliptic equation involving five parameters. The fractional derivatives are taken as in the sense of Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville derivative. The method is reliable and gives more general exact solutions than the existing methods.

Syntheses and crystal structures of mixed-ligand copper(II)–imidazole–carboxylate complexes

The syntheses, characterization, and crystal structures of the reaction products of Cu²⁺ with imidazole (Himz) and different aromatic carboxylates, viz.: [Cu(Himz)₂(cinn)₂(H₂O)] (1), [Cu(Himz)₂(paba)₂] (2) and [Cu(Himz)₂(clba)₂] (3) (cinn^– = C₉H₇O₂^–, paba^– = C₇H₆NO₂^–, clba^– = C₇H₄ClO₂^–) are described and studied by spectroscopic (UV–visible, FTIR) measurements. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that each complex is monomeric. The metal ion in 1 adopts square-pyramidal coordination geometry arising from two imidazole nitrogens, two cinnamate oxygens, and an apical aqua. The metal ions of 2 and 3, however, assume a square planar configuration, which is realized by coordination of two nitrogens of two imidazoles and two oxygens; in both complexes, the imidazole moieties are trans to each other. TGA results indicate that upon heating, these complexes lose their carboxylate anions first, followed by removal of the imidazole molecules.     

Microbial hydroxylation of pregnenolone derivatives

Pregnenolone and pregnenolone acetate were incubated with the fungi Cunninghamella elegans, Rhizopus stolonifer and Gibberella fujikuroi. Incubation of with C. elegans yielded metabolites, 3beta,7beta,11alpha-trihydroxypreg-5-en-20-one, 3beta,6alpha,11alpha,12beta,15beta-pentahydroxypreg-4-en-20-one and 3beta,6beta,11alpha-trihydroxypreg-4-en-20-one, while incubation with G. fujikuroi yielded two known metabolites, 3beta,7beta-dihydroxypregn-5-en-20-one and 6beta,15beta-dihydroxypreg-4-ene-3,20-dione. Metabolites and were found to be new. Fermentation of by C. elegans yielded four known oxidative metabolites, androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione, 6beta,15beta-dihydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione and 11alpha,15beta-dihydroxypreg-4-ene-3,20-dione. Fermentation of with R. stolonifer yielded two known metabolites, 11alpha-hydroxypreg-4-ene-3,20-dione and. Compounds were screened for their cholinesterase inhibitory activity in a mechanism-based assay.
