Efficient Nanosystem for Nanomedicine Applications Based on Molecular Communications

The authors propose an efficient nanosystem based on molecular communication technology. Molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD) is a promising trend for exchanging biochemical signals between a nanotransmitter (NT) and a nanoreceiver (NR) in aqueous media over short distances. Nanosystem-based MCvD has recently received a lot of attention in advanced targeted nanomedicine applications such as targeted drug delivery and healthcare monitoring (disease/diagnosis/analysis). However, the random nature of molecular diffusion causes counting noise, which significantly degrades the performance of the nanosystem-based molecular communication. In this paper, a reliable and simple denoising technique, namely Savitzky–Golay (SG) filter, is developed in the nanosystem-based MCvD to provide high accuracy of molecular information reception. The performance of the proposed nanosystem is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER) and correlation efficiency. The results reveal that the nanosystem-based MCvD using the proposed SG filter outperforms the MCvD using current denoising techniques such as moving average filter, wavelet denoising and I-filter. Actually, it was found that the SG filter increases the gain efficiency in terms of the correlation coefficient by more than 60% in comparison to the I-filter at low and high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), whereas in comparison to wavelet denoising, the SG filter achieves more than 10% enhancement in gain efficiency at low SNRs.

Robust Beamforming for IRS-Aided SWIPT in Cognitive Satellite and Terrestrial Networks

This paper proposes a robust beamforming (BF) scheme for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in a cognitive satellite and terrestrial network (CSTN). The satellite network serves multiple earth stations through the multicast transmission, while the terrestrial network operating at the same spectrum implements the SWIPT through IRS-aided multicast technology. Assuming that the imperfect channel state information (CSI) is available, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the minimum achievable rate of the information receivers (IRs), subject to the transmit power budget, achievable rate and harvesting energy requirements. To address this nonconvex problem, we propose a tight bound robust BF algorithm based on Lagrange duality and alternating optimization (AO) to jointly optimize the active and passive beamformers for the base station, satellite and IRS, respectively. Simulation results confirm the robustness and superiority of our proposed BF scheme over other related works.

Energy-Efficient Beamforming Design for RIS-Aided MIMO Downlink Communication With SWIPT

This paper investigates an energy/power-efficient simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication network, where a base station (BS) communicates with multiple information receivers (IRs) and energy receivers (ERs) simultaneously with the aid of a RIS. We formulate a power minimization problem and jointly optimize the active beamforming matrix at the BS and passive beamforming matrix at the RIS subject to the constraint of the minimum required rate at each IR while ensuring the minimum energy harvesting requirement of ERs. Due to the non-convex nature of the formulated problem, we transform the minimum rate constraint into a simpler form by adopting a mean square error (MSE) based approach. Next, an alternating optimization (AO) method is adopted to transform the main non-convex problem into two simpler sub-problems, for obtaining the optimal active and passive beamforming matrices, respectively. Thereafter, computationally efficient algorithms are proposed to determine the optimal solutions of each sub-problem utilizing optimization tools such as Lagrangian dual decomposition, sub-gradient method, majorization-minimization (MM) and pricing-based approaches. Then, we also propose an AO-based iterative algorithm that obtains the optimal values of both matrices iteratively by repeatedly using the aforementioned sub-optimal solutions. We also discuss the impact of imperfect channel state information (CSI) on the performance of the considered network and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in providing an efficient beamforming design for the same. In addition to this, we highlight the impact of key system parameters such as the number of reflecting elements, and the minimum rate constraint. Finally, we establish that the use of an RIS in such a network along with the proposed algorithm provides a power saving of approximately 10%-26% compared to the other traditional schemes to achieve the same quality of service.

Research on high-speed railway vehicle emergency braking control based on rail surface foreign matter identification

In order to improve the operation stability of high-speed railway vehicles, an emergency braking control method for high-speed railway vehicles based on the identification of foreign matters on the track surface is proposed. The dynamic frame scanning method is used to build the image acquisition of abnormal objects on the high-speed rail track surface, and the visual sensor and vibration sensor are used to identify and process the features of foreign objects on the high-speed rail track surface. According to the abnormal feature extraction results, the command signal in case of foreign objects is transmitted to the terminal command library of the braking control system. According to the transfer switch of the emergency braking system to display the main emergency disposal output states such as the train emergency disposal information reception, emergency disposal level, emergency disposal type and other information, the joint control method of contact pressure distribution and non-uniform heat flux is adopted, and the joint control method of control system, drive system, disc friction system and signal acquisition system is adopted. The emergency braking control module is established to realize the emergency braking control of high-speed railway vehicles according to the feature recognition results of foreign matters on the rail surface. The test results show that the control module is less affected by the vehicle wheelbase characteristics, track structure characteristics and other factors when using this method for high-speed railway vehicle emergency braking control, and has a strong ability to identify the characteristics of foreign matters on the track surface, which improves the stability and real-time performance of emergency braking.

Conceptual scheme of intelligent vessel traffic control system with the human factor included

The subject of the research is the development of technologies for automated and automatic ship traffic control systems, which is of great importance in modern shipping conditions. At the same time, special attention is paid to intelligent control systems based on artificial intelligence methods, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, machine learning, evolutionary computing and genetic algorithms. As a result, integrated information navigation systems, which provide decision-making on all aspects of navigation tasks, primarily where reception, processing, storage and transmission of navigation information is required, are being created and widely used in practice. However, in such developments, due importance is not given to the human factor, namely, it is often not taken into account that the control system of a moving object is a man-machine and consists of a regulator, which includes a human operator (navigator). The inclusion of the navigator in the vessel control link leads to the need to simultaneously take into account the human factor and the characteristics of the vessel controllability, i. e. human and machine factors in their unity. In connection with the development of artificial intelligence, the concept of “human-machine symbiosis” is becoming increasingly relevant in the study of human-machine systems. The problem is that there is still no single point of view on this issue due to the lack of reasonable methods for taking into account the human factor in the process of controlling the movement of moving objects. The results of the theoretical research on the formalization of some aspects of human mental activity and their implementation in the conceptual scheme of an intelligent vessel control system are reflected in the paper. The results obtained may be of interest to specialists in vessel traffic control automation, artificial intelligence, the creation of intelligent control systems and navigation safety.

The effect of internet use on depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults with functional disability: the mediating role of social isolation.

The popularization of the internet provides the possibility to improve the depressive symptoms (DS) and social isolation of middle-aged and older adults with functional disability. There was a significant correlation between internet use and DS in middle-aged and older adults with functional disability, but the relationship between internet use, social isolation, and DS remains to be confirmed. Data were obtained from 7,955 middle-aged and older adults aged 45 years and older from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the association between internet use and DS, and the Sobel test was used to explore mediating models. Results showed that internet use was negatively associated with DS among Chinese middle-aged and older adults. Among them, social needs (B = -0.770, p = 0.041), and information reception (B = -1.067, p = 0.007) were significantly related to DS in middle-aged and older adults. Only information reception (B = -3.161, p = 0.031) was significantly related to DS among middle-aged and older adults with functional disability. Social isolation partially mediated the association between internet use and DS in middle-aged and older adults without functional disability, whereas it was fully mediated in middle-aged and older adults with functional disability. This study indicates that when formulating health policies to promote the mental health of Chinese middle-aged and older adults, the use of the internet should not be overlooked.

Relationship between PAUD (Early Childhood Education) Teacher Professional Competence in the 21st Century toward Early Childhood Students’ Science Ability

Professional teachers are teachers who have basic competence within themselves. But most of what happens is still not aware of the importance of competence for teachers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the professional competence of 21st-century teachers and children's science abilities based on their accreditation. Thus, it can be seen the connection between accreditation and the professional competence of PAUD teachers in children's science abilities. The type of research used in this study is quantitative, using correlational methods. Data collection is done by using a questionnaire. It can be seen that with A accreditation with the achievement of children's natural science abilities for problem-solving abilities with a score of 25%, 28% logical thinking, 22% receiving information, and 25% language skills can see and conclude that the professionalism of teachers in educating children in every learning activity has to keep up with the times. Meanwhile, with schools accredited C, it can be seen that scientific ability is 23%, logical thinking is 29%, information reception is 14%, and language skills are 32%. This can be interpreted as scientific ability with a standard level of achievement in learning activities because educators have not applied it professionally in activities with children. It can be concluded that the competence possessed by a teacher who teaches at a school with different accreditation also has further treatment in the learning process. That way, developing science skills is closely related to teacher professionalism so children can develop their science abilities.

Long Duration Persistent Photocurrent in 3 nm Thin Doped Indium Oxide for Integrated Light Sensing and In‐Sensor Neuromorphic Computation

AbstractMiniaturization and energy consumption by computational systems remain major challenges to address. Optoelectronics based synaptic and light sensing provide an exciting platform for neuromorphic processing and vision applications offering several advantages. It is highly desirable to achieve single‐element image sensors that allow reception of information and execution of in‐memory computing processes while maintaining memory for much longer durations without the need for frequent electrical or optical rehearsals. In this work, ultra‐thin (<3 nm) doped indium oxide (In2O3) layers are engineered to demonstrate a monolithic two‐terminal ultraviolet (UV) sensing and processing system with long optical state retention operating at 50 mV. This endows features of several conductance states within the persistent photocurrent window that are harnessed to show learning capabilities and significantly reduce the number of rehearsals. The atomically thin sheets are implemented as a focal plane array (FPA) for UV spectrum based proof‐of‐concept vision system capable of pattern recognition and memorization required for imaging and detection applications. This integrated light sensing and memory system is deployed to illustrate capabilities for real‐time, in‐sensor memorization, and recognition tasks. This study provides an important template to engineer miniaturized and low operating voltage neuromorphic platforms across the light spectrum based on application demand.

Effect of synchronization system errors on the reception noise immunity of amplitude-phase shift keyed signals

Objectives. An urgent task in the context of modern radio and television systems is to improve the quality and quantity of transmitted information. For example, the use of multiple amplitude-phase shift keyed (APSK) signals—16-APSK and 32-APSK—in digital satellite television systems of the Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite2 (DVB-S2) standard made it possible to transmit 30% more data in the same frequency bands in comparison with the previous DVB-S standard. Such increases in information transmission rates impose more stringent requirements on hardware. An important role in the reception of APSK signals, as well as the signals of other coherent signal processing systems, is played by the stability of synchronization systems. The presence of operational errors can significantly reduce the quality of information reception. The aim of the present work was to analyze the effect of phase and clock synchronization errors on the reception noise immunity of APSK signals with a ring signal constellation structure.Methods. The study used statistical radio engineering methods informed by optimal signal reception theory.Results. The effect of phase and clock synchronization errors on the reception noise immunity of APSK signals having a signal constellation ring structure is analyzed. The dependencies of the bit error probability on the magnitude of the phase shift and the clock offset were characterized. The effect of synchronization errors on reception quality were compared with the known results for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals.Conclusions. At an acceptable energy loss of no more than 1 dB, the critical phase error can be considered as 2°-3°, while the critical clock error is 3-4%. A coherent receiver of APSK signals is more sensitive to the phase error of reference oscillations than a similar receiver of QAM signals, whereas clock errors have the same effect on the reception quality of these signals.

Energy-Efficient Intelligent Reflecting Surface Aided Wireless-Powered IIoT Networks

This article proposes an energy-efficient intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided wireless-powered industrial Inter-net-of-Things network. The system consists of a multiantenna power station (PS) that transmits wireless radio frequency (RF) power signals, a multiantenna information receiver (IR) that collects RF information signals, and several single-antenna wireless devices (WDs). Harvest-then-transmit protocol is implemented by the WDs. Thus, WDs at first harvest energy from the signals transmitted by PS and then uses the harvested energy to simultaneously transmit information to the IR. We maximize the energy efficiency of the system by jointly optimizing the energy beamformer of the PS, the information receiving beamformer of the IR, IRS phase shift, and the energy/information transfer time. The formulated optimization problem is a nonconvex fractional problem. To tackle the fractional term, the main problem is transformed using the Dinkelbach technique. Then, the transformed problem is decomposed into several subproblems, and a solution is obtained for each subproblem. Following that, a joint solution to the transformed problem is obtained by alternatively optimizing the subproblems. In addition, we obtained computationally low-complex solutions for the proposed system by utilizing fixed beamforming techniques i.e., maximum ratio transmission and zero-forcing-receive beamforming. Numerical results confirm that the proposed system has a better energy efficiency performance compared with the benchmark schemes.

This applies to operators and senior operators of the GMDSB facility, operators of a limited area of the GMDSS, operator of the GMDSS, first and second class radio electronics of the GMDSS, the main professional characteristics of which are summarized in the professional standard “Operator of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (ship, coastal).” The listed specialists carry out radio communication and information exchange between coastal and ship stations in the GMDSS in order to ensure uninterrupted communication in the event of a disaster, safety and urgency between ships and coastal services for the safety of navigation and the protection of human life at sea. It is emphasized that they must have higher or secondary vocational education. For each position, generalized labor functions are systematized, which are destructured into labor functions, labor actions, necessary knowledge and skills. It was concluded that the professional competencies of the marine radio specialists of the GMSSB are widely in demand, both on ships and on the shore, which is especially important given the development of the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route, as the main water route of the hard-to-reach northern regions. At the same time, the necessary level of professional training of specialists providing the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System in a disaster for the safety of navigation is decisive.

Information presentation and gaze-following for grounding in simulated anaesthesia emergencies: A multimodal analysis

Unanticipated difficult intubation is a relatively common problem anaesthetists face in everyday practice. Algorithms to manage the problem were issued (Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists, 2014), but how anaesthetists actually perceive the problem and respond to the difficulties with other healthcare professionals present is still to be uncovered. Drawing on the concept of resilient healthcare (Hollnagel et al., 2013), which values “how things go well”, this study analysed interactions in simulated emergencies between a less experienced anaesthetist (trainee) and an experienced anaesthetist (trainer). The latter took a role as a nurse and led the scenario of difficult intubation. Five sessions with the same trainer, one of five different trainees and a manikin as a patient were recorded with a 360-degree camera in an operating room at a large teaching hospital in Japan. The data was transcribed and analysed with discourse and multimodal corpus analytic approaches. In the simulated interactions, four phases of grounding (Clark, 1996) were observed in the joint decision-making process between the trainer and the trainee: (1) the trainer’s information presentation with her gaze address at the referent, (2) the trainee’s gaze following and acknowledgement of information reception, (3) the trainer’s prompt for the trainee’s decision-making, and (4) the trainee’s (or trainer’s) giving instruction to manage the difficulty. The trainer presented the patient’s condition and visual/audio information affordable in the environment (e.g., signals on a vital monitor), using verbal and multimodal resources, i.e., gaze address and deictic gestures. The participants as individual sensory agencies were engaged in the embodied process of shared sense-making in the particular context to establish common ground for joint decision-making on immediate actions required.

The Relationship between Metaverse and Design

With the development of science and technology in modern society, all walks of life are developing towards intelligence and information technology, and the meta-universe is still an immature concept at present, which is very general and summative. It has five characteristics: immersive experience, virtual clone, stable economic system, strong social attribute and open creation. In the construction of the virtual world of the meta-universe, immersive experience is the first to bear the brunt, which is closely related to interaction design. The progress of technology will inevitably change the way of art presentation and information reception, thus driving the comprehensive development and update of visual art from form to method and content. The Earth-scale, seamless integration with the real world, and constantly evolving digital world is the goal of scientific and technological development.

Broken Promises Marketing. Relations, Communication Strategies, and Ethics of Video Game Journalists and Developers: The Case of Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 's negative reception stood in striking contrast to the pre-release hype around the video game built by the producer's marketing campaign and the gaming press. This study examines a selection of gaming websites, to consider their pre-release Cyberpunk 2077 coverage and the discrepancies between these early reports and the released game. Using inductive conventional content analysis, framed as thematic analysis, 148 press articles were investigated divided into nine subcategories, and three categories. These articles told an almost exclusively positive narrative, promising great performance and features. The uncritical reception of publisher information by journalists allows the authors to propose the notion of “broken promises marketing”. The article contextualizes this term in the gaming ecosystem, arguing that over-optimistic marketing is amplified through features of the online press ecology. Finally, the results are considered from a business ethics perspective, with a set of communications recommendations for both journalists and game publishers.

A Weather-Ready Nation for All? The Demographics of Severe Weather Understanding, Reception, and Response

Abstract NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) provides forecasts, warnings, and decision support to the public for the protection of life and property. The NWS Weather-Ready Nation model describes the process of applying weather information to achieve societal value. However, it is not clear how different racial and socioeconomic groups across the United States receive, understand, and act upon the weather information supplied under this model. There may be barriers that keep important, lifesaving information from the populations at the highest risk of severe weather impacts. This paper estimates the extent of racial and socioeconomic disparities in severe weather risk information reception, comprehension, response, and trust, as well as severe weather preparedness and risk perceptions in the United States. We use data from the University of Oklahoma’s Severe Weather and Society Survey, which is annually completed by a sample of 3000 U.S. adults (age 18+) that is designed to match the characteristics of the U.S. population. We pool data over four years (2017–20) to provide reliable severe weather risk prevalence statistics for adults by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic characteristics. As a robustness check, we supplement this information with data from the annual FEMA National Household Survey. We find that racial and socioeconomic groups receive, understand, trust, and act upon severe weather information differently. These findings suggest that NWS and their partners should adjust their communication strategies to ensure all populations receive and understand actionable severe weather information. Significance Statement It is crucial that severe weather risk communication is received, appropriately interpreted, and trusted by all communities—especially the most vulnerable. Past research has not explained how different racial and socioeconomic groups receive, understand, and act upon NWS forecasts and warnings. This study finds that racial and socioeconomic groups receive, understand, trust, and act upon severe weather information differently. Risk communication strategies should be adjusted to eliminate barriers that keep important, lifesaving information from vulnerable populations.
