A QoS Routing Algorithm Based on Software-Defined Vehiclar Ad-Hoc Network

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network(VANET) is a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network(MANET) composed of mobile vehicular nodes.It does not rely on infrastructure to either establish a communication link orrealize communication. Owingto the high mobility of vehicle...

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...

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...

Software engineering and middleware

The construction of a large class of distributed systems can be simplified by leveraging middleware, which is layered between network operating systems and application components. Middleware resolves heterogeneity and facilitates communicat...

Clinical outcomes in various coronary artery bypass grafting techniques: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Guizhi-Shaoyao-Zhimu decoction alleviates gastrointestinal acute graft-vs.-host disease and suppresses FGF2/PI3K/Akt signaling: insights from network pharmacology, WGCNA, molecular docking, and animal experiment.

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...

High-energy astrophysics

Radio astronomy and high-energy astrophysics The early history of radio astronomy was recounted in Section 7.3; that story ended in the mid 1950s, by which time the Galactic and extragalactic nature of the discrete radio sources was establi...

Directed Brain Network Analysis for Fatigue Driving Based on EEG Source Signals

Fatigue driving is one of the major factors that leads to traffic accidents. Long-term monotonous driving can easily cause a decrease in the driver’s attention and vigilance, manifesting a fatigue effect. This paper proposes a means of reve...

Generational Differences in Dietary Behaviours: A Cross-Sectional Study of Generations X, Y, and Z [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background Dietary behaviours influence obesity and chronic disease. In Saudi Arabia, Westernised diets and sedentary lifestyles have driven rising obesity. This study explores generational dietary patterns to inform Saudi Vision 2030 plann...
