VA: Virtual Node Assisted Localization Algorithm for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Localization has always been an essential application of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), which plays an important role in routing strategies design, node recycling, and so on. The complex ocean condition, prior infrastructure d...

Infamous Gaming: The Intergroup Bias of Non-gamers in the Chinese Marriage Market

The link between gaming and negative outcomes has been explored by previous research and has led to the widespread adverse attitude toward gaming (ATG) and gamers, especially from those who are unfamiliar with this activity. By implementing...

Illuminating the future of diabetes treatment: Autologous CiPSC-derived islets take center stage

The recent clinical success of chemically induced pluripotent stem cell (CiPSC)–derived islet transplantation for type 1 diabetes represents a landmark achievement in regenerative medicine. This article delves into the groundbreaking work p...

Green development efficiency and its determinants in China's agricultural product circulation Industry: An empirical analysis based on panel data from 26 provinces

This paper employs the super-efficiency slack-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs to measure the green development efficiency of the agricultural product circulation industry (APCI) across 26 provinces of China from 2013 to 2...

The combined effects of goal attributes, motivational beliefs, creativity and grit on self-regulation in online ill-structured problem solving: a fsQCA approach

Abstract Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been regarded as one of the indispensable factors affecting students’ academic success in online learning environments. However, the current understanding of the mechanism/causes of SRL in online i...

Toward sustainable development: the nexus between financial development, renewable energy, and carbon emissions in China

The accelerating emissions of greenhouse gases—particularly carbon dioxide (CO2)—pose serious challenges to global environmental sustainability, with China being a major contributor due to its rapid economic and financial expansion. This st...

Challenges of the growing African cement market – environmental issues, regulative framework, and quality infrastructure requirements

The African cement, concrete and construction business is growing at rapid pace. The cement sales are expected to grow rapidly until 2050. The number of newly built cement plants increases dramatically and in addition more cements are being...

Large emission mitigation potential from sequencing fossil fuel extraction infrastructure retirement in China

Summary: China’s fossil fuel infrastructure could lock in substantial emissions across both extraction and downstream use, making a well-defined phaseout strategy urgent for achieving carbon neutrality. We analyze the differences between th...

Robust Kalman Filter Aided GEO/IGSO/GPS Raw-PPP/INS Tight Integration

Reliable and continuous navigation solutions are essential for high-accuracy location-based services. Currently, the real-time kinematic (RTK) based Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely utilized to satisfy such requirements. However, R...

An ML-Based Radial Velocity Estimation Algorithm for Moving Targets in Spaceborne High-Resolution and Wide-Swath SAR Systems

Multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a significant breakthrough to the inherent limitation between high-resolution and wide-swath (HRWS) compared with conventional SAR. Moving target indication (MTI) is an important application of...

A Dynamic and Adaptive Selection Radar Tracking Method Based on Information Entropy

Nowadays, the battlefield environment has become much more complex and variable. This paper presents a quantitative method and lower bound for the amount of target information acquired from multiple radar observations to adaptively and dyna...

Influence of Radar Parameters and Sea State on Wind Wave-Induced Velocity in C-Band ATI SAR Ocean Surface Currents

Wind wave-induced artifact surface velocity (WASV) is an important component of the sea surface motions detected by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Understanding the characteristics of the interference of WASV on SAR current velocit...

Context presentation and native conversation structure in large language model responses to escalating suicide risk: a controlled multimodel evaluation

BackgroundLarge language models are increasingly used for informal mental health support, yet their safety during escalating suicide-risk conversations may depend on how prior information is presented. Native multi-turn conversations and re...

Online Classification of Road Roughness Conditions with Vehicle Unsprung Mass Acceleration by Sliding Time Window

Suspension control systems are in need for more information of road roughness conditions to improve their performance under different roads. Existing methods of gauging road roughness are limited, and they usually involve visual inspections...
