Multicore fiber (MCF) which contains more than one core in a single fiber cladding has attracted ever increasing attention for application in optical sensing systems owing to its unique capability of independent light tr...

This paper presents DS-PTAM, a distributed architecture for the S-PTAM stereo SLAM system. This architecture is developed on the ROS framework, separating the localization and mapping tasks into two independent ROS nodes...

Modern software applications rarely live in isolation and nowadays it is common practice to rely on services or consume information provided by remote entities. In such a distributed architecture, integration is key. Mes...

This paper investigates the distributed state estimation problem for a class of continuous-time nonlinear systems over sensor networks. The nonlinearities considered are assumed to satisfy the Incremental Quadratic Const...

Harnessing root-associated microbiomes to promote beneficial microbial compositions could offer a sustainable strategy to increase crop resilience. Major challenges impeding this strategy are the lack of understanding of...

Those working within the South African (SA) District Health System (DHS) have various roles in addressing population health and wellbeing needs. These include motivating and co-ordinating local providers offering communi...

Background and Study Aim. Taekwondo is a combat sport characterized by high-intensity intermittent actions that place substantial demands on the cardiovascular and metabolic systems of athletes. Competitive performance i...

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) function in both shoots and roots as key components of plant immunity, yet their biological roles in roots remain poorly understood. Here, we established a co...

Abstract Background Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by the public to seek health information, including explanations of medical treatments and clinical trials. Objective The objective of this study was...

ABSTRACT This paper presents an event‐triggered pinning observer‐based control of unknown large‐scale interconnected systems under false data injection attacks using distributed noisy data without any system identi...

Abstract Background Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, infects both humans and a broad range of animal species. While human disease has been well characterized, animal data are dispersed acros...

Abstract Background Surgical tourism is an emerging economic sector, with the most growth potential demonstrated in China's health industry before the COVID-19 pandemic. Surgical tourism accounts for a large part of medi...

Abstract In this work, measuring capabilities of a Sagnac Interferometer-based Distributed Optical Fiber Sensor (DOFS) system are demonstrated by comparing its results to a conventional amplitude-based Distributed Acoust...

The integration of wind energy into power systems has intensified as a result of the urgency for global energy transition. This requires more accurate forecasting techniques that can capture the variability of the wind r...

Abstract Seismic surveying has continuously evolved, transitioning from early mechanical seismoscopes to digital, multi-channel geophone arrays that defined the industry standard since 1970s. digital seismic reflection. ...

Communication is moving from being data-centric to being experience-centric and perception-aware with the advent of 6G wireless networks. Immersive applications such as digital twins, holographic telepresence, extended r...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to typify smallholders’ dairy systems using quali-quantitative measures of feeding practices and detect the main discriminatory elements identifying the systems. We collected data from 30 farm...

Abstract In competitive sports and other role-based team activities, selecting a squad with strong mutual compatibility is critical for coordinated execution and overall performance. This paper proposes a compatibility-a...

ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

Although the mobility protocols have improved, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)-Based Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) networks still have significant challenges to ensure a seamless user mobility. These problems include ...

In recent years, the distributed fiber optic sensing technology has become a new tool in the research area of geotechnical tests and measurements and played an increasingly important role in deformation monitoring of geo...

The optimal management of tributary varicose veins during Endovenous Thermal Ablation (EVTA) of the saphenous trunk for Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) remains an area of ongoing clinical debate. This study compares the “...

The present article examines four interrelated elements of the economy: namely, markets, labour, production, and distribution. These elements thus function as principles and laws. This approach is predicated on the premi...

Nowadays, optical amplifiers designs are induced by new requirements generated by optical networks. The introduction of WDM reconfigurable networks with increasing rate from 10-40 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s and beyond, demand new ...
