A generic self-learning emotional framework for machines

Abstract In nature, intelligent living beings have developed emotions to modulate their behavior as a fundamental evolutionary advantage. However, researchers seeking to endow machines with this advantage lack a clear theory from cognitive ...

A study on the flexural behaviour of lightweight concrete beams reinforced with pumice, silica fume and carbon fibers

Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) incorporating pumice aggregates offers a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete, enabling a reduced self-weight while maintaining adequate strength and stiffness for structural applications. T...

Beam-Based Mobility Management in 5G Millimetre Wave V2X Communications: A Survey and Outlook

It is envisaged that 5G can enable many vehicular use cases that require high capacity, ultra-low latency and high reliability. To support this, 5G proposes the use of dense small cells technology as well as and highly directional mmWave sy...

Extrapolative prediction in multiphase flow pipelines: a multi-fidelity surrogate approach with stacking ensemble

Accurate extrapolation of multiphase flow behaviour in offshore pipelines is hindered by limited field data, simulator bias, and strong nonlinearities. A multi-fidelity surrogate approach with stacking ensemble is proposed to address these ...

Strengthening Crypto-1 Cipher Against Algebraic Attacks

In the last few years, several studies addressed the problem of data security in Mifare Classic. One of its weaknesses is the low random number quality. This causes SAT solver attacks to have lower complexity. In order to strengthen Crypto-...
