An Energy Efficient Distance-Aware Routing Algorithm with Multiple Mobile Sinks for Wireless Sensor Networks

Traffic patterns in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) usually follow a many-to-one model. Sensor nodes close to static sinks will deplete their limited energy more rapidly than other sensors, since they will have more data to forward during m...

Damage Strength Model of Soil–Structure Interface Based on Equivalent Damage

Objective Pile-soil interaction plays a critical role in slope support engineering. Since the contact surface represents the weakest link in the system, analyzing the influence of the soil shear area on the mechanical properties and the con...

IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Toward Service-Centric Internet of Things (IoT): From Modeling to Practice

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an emerging paradigm to seamlessly and ubiquitously integrate a large number of smart things with intra/inter links to the physical and cyber worlds. Sensor-enabled communication technologies connect b...

Models of motivation in software engineering

Software engineering economics

The field of software economics seeks to develop technical theories, guidelines, and practices of software development based on sound, established, and emerging models of value and value-creation---adapted to the domain of software developm...

Software engineering for mobility

Mobility is redefining the hardware and software fabric of distributed systems. Wireless communication allows network hosts to participate in a distributed computation while on the move. Novel middleware technologies allow software componen...

Software engineering economics

This work aims to shed light on an important topic that has begun to emerge in recent years, which is the economics of software engineering as a basic pillar in national development and confronting the competitive market challenges that cha...

Skin-on-a-Chip for Cosmetic Safety Assessment: From Reconstructed Skin Models to Regulatory Translation.

Association of Case Management Nursing with Swallowing and Voice Recovery and Quality of Life After Transoral Thyroidectomy: A Retrospective Study with Predictive Modeling.

On the Dual Nature of Atmospheric Escape

Planetary atmospheres cannot remain hydrostatic at all altitudes because they approach finite density at infinite radius, implying infinite mass. Classical treatments address this in two directions: either retain a hydrostatic structure whi...

Advances and perspectives for receiver function imaging of the Earth's internal discontinuities and velocity structures

Studying the structures, properties and origins of the Earth's internal discontinuities is an important part in the efforts to understand the physical and chemical properties of the layered Earth, as well as to explore the dynamic processes...

Prediction of Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition on Ablative Rough Surfaces of Deep Space Reentry Capsules

In order to improve aerodynamic deceleration efficiency, deep space reentry capsules generally adopt large blunt windward shape and ablative heat protection system. However, factors such as the flat forebody shape and the sharp increase in ...

Electroweak monopoles and the electroweak phase transition

Abstract We consider an isolated electroweak monopole solution within the Standard Model with a nonlinear Born–Infeld extension of the hypercharge gauge field. Monopole (and dyon) solutions in such an extension are regular and their masses ...

Multiwavelength Study of Five Distant Transient Gamma-Ray AGNs with z > 1

The multiwavelength emissions, especially gamma-rays, of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are essential for studying the physical properties of jets emanating from supermassive black holes at galaxy centers. However, for high-redshift AGNs, it...

An IXPE-led X-Ray Spectropolarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-Ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing

We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May–June. Companion multiwavelength data during the campaign are likewise shown. The 2–8...

Coherent State Control to Recover Quantum Entanglement and Coherence

How to analytically deal with the entanglement and coherence dynamics of separated Jaynes−Cummings nodes with continuous-variable fields is still an open question. We here generalize this model to a more common situation including eit...

Self-organization and collective migration of active condensates

Abstract Cohesive active assemblies are often regulated by spatially heterogeneous nonequilibrium driving, such as gradients in motility. Here, we show that attractive active Brownian particles (ABPs) undergo liquid-gas phase separation, an...

Reconnaissance with JWST of the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch in Distance Ladder Galaxies: From Irregular Luminosity Functions to Approximation of the Hubble Constant

We study stars in the J-regions of the asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) of near-infrared color–magnitude diagrams in the maser host NGC 4258 and four hosts of six Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia): NGC 1448, NGC 1559, NGC 5584, and NGC 5643. These ...

Nuclear astrophysics

Nuclear astrophysics is that branch of astrophysics which helps understanding some of the many facets of the Universe through the knowledge of the microcosm of the atomic nucleus. In the last decades much advance has been made in nuclear as...
