Development of a Secure Database System for Underground Gas Storage Operations A robust database system facilitates the integration of static and dynamic data from different phases of the storage life cycle. From initial site surveys to final storage operation, data must be systematically captured, processed, and made accessible to engineers, planners, and decision-makers. With real-time monitoring and historical analysis capabilities, database systems enhance not only the safety and stability of salt cavern storage facilities but also optimize their performance and economic value. System Architecture and Platform Selection Choosing the right technological platform is critical for the database system. In this context, the SQL Server database was selected due to its capacity to handle large data volumes, advanced security mechanisms, and seamless compatibility with C# language development. While Oracle offers high-level security and data processing abilities, its complexity in managem...

Designing Blockchain-Based Incentive Systems to Address the Peer Review Crisis in Academic Publishing Introduction The peer review process is central to academic publishing, serving as a quality control mechanism that ensures scholarly integrity and the dissemination of credible research. However, in recent years, journals have faced increasing difficulty in securing willing and qualified reviewers. The workload, lack of tangible incentives, and rising academic pressures have created an imbalance between manuscript submissions and reviewer availability. This research proposes a blockchain-enabled incentive model to address these systemic issues, aiming to improve reviewer participation and streamline the peer review process through secure, transparent, and decentralized technologies. The Reviewer Crisis in Academia Several studies and journal reports have documented a sharp decline in reviewer availability. The root causes are multi-faceted: time constraints, inadequate recognition, a...
