Sociodemographic Factors and Depression in Patients With Breast Cancer: A Multicenter, Cross-sectional Study in Georgia

Background: Depression commonly occurs in patients with breast cancer (BC), affecting their quality of life. Objectives: The relationships between depression and different sociodemographic characteristics in patients with BC are under-resea...

For All Humankind: Peaceful, Ethical, Cooperative, and Curiosity‐Driven Space Science and Space Weather Research

Abstract Are we moving into a new reality where the next human stepping onto a different world will utter “That's one small step for me, a giant leap for my country”? Is further tightening Heliophysics and space weather research to military...

Discriminating Similar Naval Vessels Using YOLOv8 Deep Neural Network

The next generation of United States Navy uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) is expected to operate in global positioning system and radio frequency-denied maritime environments. In these challenging conditions, these UASs must accurately ident...

Killer Robots

abstract The United States Army's Future Combat Systems Project, which aims to manufacture a ‘robot army’ to be ready for deployment by 2012, is only the latest and most dramatic example of military interest in the use of artificially intel...

Quantum Computing in Cybersecurity

Machine learning, deep learning, probabilistic neural networks, blockchain, and other new technologies all demand extremely high processing speeds. A quantum computer is an example of such a system. Quantum computers may be accessed over th...

Quantum Computing - An Introduction and Cloud Quantum Computing

Quantum computing uses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to perform operations on data and it’s a huge leap in the field of computation. A quantum computer is a computational device which uses quantum mechanical phenomena like superpositio...

A Compendium on Distributed Systems

Computer systems have evolved over the years starting from sizable, single-user, slow, and expensive machines to multi-user, fast, cheaper, and small-sized machines. The use of multi-user computer networks has given rise to a new paradigm o...

On the controllability of distributed systems

To "control" a system is to make it behave (hopefully) according to our "wishes," in a way compatible with safety and ethics, at the least possible cost. The systems considered here are distributed-i.e., governed (modeled) by partial differ...

Structure and Encapsulation in Distributed Systems: the Proxy Principle

We present a novel view of the structuring of distributed systems, and a few examples of its utilization in an object-oriented context. In a distributed system, the structure of a service or subsystem may be complex, being implemented as a ...

The cybersecurity dilemma: hacking, trust, and fear between nations*

There is hardly a more pressing topic in contemporary security affairs than cyber security—yet none so perplexing. Cyber weapons are a recent addition to the arsenal of states, and ‘cyberwar’ in general is a remarkably and increasingly worr...

Cybersecurity

This chapter begins with cybersecurity features. It covers various forms of cyber threats: cyberattacks, cyberterrorism, and cyberbullying. The chapter addresses cybersecurity governance and the trade-offs between cybersecurity and freedom....
