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...

Nonlinear Dynamics of Swinging Clapper Bells under Arbitrary or Resonant Forcing Functions

Study of swinging clapper bells involves aspects encompassing sound and acoustic engineering, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering. From the musical point of view, clapper bells are directly played idiophone instruments, where...

A Scalable Real-Time SDN-Based MQTT Framework for Industrial Applications

The increasing prominence of concepts such as Smart Production and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) within the context of Industry 4.0 has introduced a new set of requirements for the engineering of industrial systems, including support...

Two Acceleration-Layer Configuration Amendment Schemes of Redundant Robot Arms Based on Zhang Neurodynamics Equivalency

Two innovative acceleration-layer configuration amendment (CA) schemes are proposed to achieve the CA of constrained redundant robot arms. Specifically, by applying the Zhang neurodynamics equivalency (ZNE) method, an acceleration-layer CA ...

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...

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...

Software engineering is software engineering

Software engineering for high-performance computer systems (HPCS) is regarded by many including many of its practitioners - as strangely, even esoterically, different from "standard" software engineering. That there is nuances are undeniabl...

Statistical testing of agreement in overlap-based performance between an AI segmentation device and a multi-expert human panel without requiring a reference standard.

Sustainable high performance computing in the UK: a position paper on public investment, accountability, and the path to net zero.

Quantifying photon counting detector (PCD) performance using PCD-CT images. Part II. detector spectral response function of clinical scanners.

Overview of Tensor-Based Cooperative MIMO Communication Systems—Part 1: Tensor Modeling

Due to increasingly strong and varied performance requirements, cooperative wireless communication systems today occupy a prominent place in both academic research and industrial development. The technological and economic challenges for fu...

Energy, Exergy, Exergoeconomic and Exergoenvironmental Impact Analyses and Optimization of Various Geothermal Power Cycle Configurations

Energy, exergy, and exergoeconomic evaluations of various geothermal configurations are reported. The main operational and economic parameters of the cycles are evaluated and compared. Multi-objective optimization of the cycles is conducted...

Quantum Control Design by Lyapunov Trajectory Tracking and Optimal Control

In this paper, we investigate a Lyapunov trajectory tracking design method that incorporates a Schrödinger equation with a dipole subterm and polarizability. Our findings suggest that the proposed control law can overcome the limitations of...

Assessment of the learning environment among medical students at Tabuk University, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe learning environment (LE) is integral to medical students’ academic performance, emotional well-being, and professional development. Students’ perceptions of their learning environment provide valuable insights for identifying...

Enhancing Psychiatry Training Using an Agentic AI Simulated Consultation Tool: Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract BackgroundCanadian psychiatry residents must demonstrate consultation competency, assessed using the standardized assessment of a clinical encounter report (STACER). However, opportunities to practice these skills and r...

Development and validation of an online dynamic nomogram based on the atherogenic index of plasma to screen nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common liver disease worldwide, can be reversed early in life with lifestyle and medical interventions. This study aimed to develop a noninvasive tool to screen NAFLD accuratel...

OFDM AF Variable Gain Relay System for the Next Generation Mobile Cellular

In this paper we present analytical performance evaluation of a dual-hop OFDM amplify-andforward (AF) variable gain (VG) relay system implementing ordered subcarrier mapping (SCM) at the relay station (R), considered to be a very interestin...
