A Fault-Tolerant Communication Architecture for Distributed Systems

A communication architecture for distributed processors is presented here. This architecture is based on a new topolgy we have developed, one which interconnects n nodes by using rn links where the maximum internode distance is logrn, and w...

Cybersecurity

This interactive module explores essential cybersecurity topics such as phishing, data protection, and digital identity. Learners will analyze real-life scenarios, build technical vocabulary, and practice communication skills while discover...

Towards Evaluating the Robustness of Neural Networks

Neural networks provide state-of-the-art results for most machine learning tasks. Unfortunately, neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples: given an input x and any target classification t, it is possible to find a new input x'...

Neural Networks

Neural Networks, Second Edition provides a complete introduction to neural networks. It describes what they are, what they can do, and how they do it. While some scientific background is assumed, the reader is not expected to have any prior...

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...

Reconnaissance with JWST of the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch in Distance Ladder Galaxies: From Irregular Luminosity Functions to Approximation of the Hubble Constant

We study stars in the J-regions of the asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) of near-infrared color–magnitude diagrams in the maser host NGC 4258 and four hosts of six Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia): NGC 1448, NGC 1559, NGC 5584, and NGC 5643. These ...

Exploring the Impact of the Aging Effect on Inferred Properties of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections

In situ measurements of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) when they pass over an interplanetary probe are one of the main ways we directly measure their properties. However, such in situ profiles are subject to several observational constraints...

Discrimination of Non-Local Correlations

In view of the importance of quantum non-locality in cryptography, quantum computation, and communication complexity, it is crucial to decide whether a given correlation exhibits non-locality or not. As proved by Pitowski, this problem is N...

Nonresonant renormalization scheme for twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills theory

Abstract Recently, the short-distance asymptotics of the generating functional of n-point correlators of twist-2 operators in SU(N) Yang–Mills (YM) theory has been worked out in Bochicchio et al. (Phys Rev D 108:054023, 2023). The above com...

Magnetic Reconnection–driven Energization of Protons up to ∼400 keV at the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet

We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ∼400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) at a distance of ∼16.25 solar ...

The pure Yang-Mills field, I: fixed time existence

The convergence of renormalized perturbation theory to all finite orders is defined and shown to be valid for the fixed time perturbation theory of a pure Yang-Mills field. Two pure Yang-Mills quantum gauge field theories are constructed, o...

The Mode of Constructing Safe Trajectories of Motion of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle while Monitoring Power Lines Considering the Influence of their Electromagnetic Fields

The aim of this paper is to increase the flight safety of an unmanned aerial vehicle that monitors power lines under the negative influence of electromagnetic fields on the on-board equipment. This problem was solved with algorithms for pho...

Effects of Annealing and Deformation on Sagging Resistance of a Hot-Rolled, Four-Layered Al Alloy Clad Sheet

Multilayer brazeable aluminum alloy sheet is prone to collapse during high-temperature brazing process. The sagging resistance of the aluminum composite sheet needs to be further improved for quality control. Effects of annealing and rate o...

A Distance Metric for Uneven Clusters of Unsupervised K-Means Clustering Algorithm

In this paper, we propose a new distance metric for the K-means clustering algorithm. Applying this metric in clustering a dataset, forms unequal clusters. This metric leads to a larger size for a cluster with a centroid away from the origi...
