MCDC, for “Modified Condition/Decision Coverage”, is a test coverage criterion recommended in several important industrial software safety standards. The intuition behind MCDC is that it should be more effective than industry’s default coverage ...

In this paper, we explore bias mitigation techniques that use undersampling to create a fair representation of sociodemographic groups in training sets. These techniques aim to make machine learning models trained on these datasets fair. However, ...

Extensive research has explored the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for disaster relief, focusing on surveillance, search-and-rescue, and product delivery. However, many studies overlook the scale and urgency of disasters, often assuming a fixed ...

The study of continuous natural or industrial phenomena in time and space requires the emergence of new wireless sensor networks. A virtual sensor network (VSN) is a wireless camera network that appears to overcome the limitations of traditional ...

Strategic crime monitoring, surveillance, and prevision in public security is a fundamental topic in public administration to efficiently control certain types of criminal behavior that affect citizens’ integrity and quality of life. Technological ...

In this study, the coverage and overlap of retracted publications, retraction notices and withdrawals are compared across seven significant scholarly databases, with the aim to check for discrepancies, pinpoint the causes of those discrepancies, ...

Managing the explosion of data from the edge to the cloud requires intelligent supervision, such as fog node deployments, which is an essential task to assess network operability. To ensure network operability, the deployment process must be ...

UAVs in most real-world deployments communicate with a ground control station either in a one-hop manner, which has a limited working range, or relies on infrastructure support such as satellite communication, which is expensive. Although multi-...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been extensively explored due to their incredible capabilities and ever-growing field of applications. In cluster-based WSNs, cluster heads (CHs) deplete their energy quickly due to the extra workload of data ...

The process of acquiring location information is of utmost significance in the world of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs have a place of use in a wide variety of 3D settings, including but not limited to the depths of the ocean, mountainous ...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is widely used in a variety of practical applications. WSN may be used to sense objects, gather information, analyze it, and then transmit it again. The significance of optimization techniques is crucial for the ...

5G New Radio (5G NR), has now been deployed in all available bands: low (<1 GHz), mid (1–6 GHz), and high (>24 GHz), each with a trade-off between coverage and throughput/latency performance. The preceding 4G Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) networks ...

Clustering has been adopted as a critical technique for reducing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Furthermore, the selected group of Cluster Heads (CHs) should enhance the network’s coverage while minimizing any impact on ...

This paper presents a new algorithm for relocating sensors in a Wireless Sensor and Robots Network (WSRN) using a mobile robot. The goal is to repair coverage holes using redundant sensors that are caused by an initial random deployment. The holes ...

It has long been a challenging task for multi-agent systems (MASs) to inexpensively service probable events in non-convex environments. Coverage control provides an efficient framework to address MAS deployment problem for optimizing ...

To address the challenge of comprehensive coverage for various functional combinations in the verification process of complex IPs, this paper proposes a Three-Level cross-verification coverage model design approach. The Three-Level cross-verification ...

Colonoscopy is the most widely used medical technique for preventing Colorectal Cancer, by detecting and removing polyps before they become malignant. Recent studies show that around 25% of the existing polyps are routinely missed. While some of ...

Colorectal cancer screening through colonoscopy continues to be the dominant global standard, as it allows identifying pre-cancerous or adenomatous lesions and provides the ability to remove them during the procedure itself. Nevertheless, failure ...

3D colon reconstruction from Optical Colonoscopy (OC) to detect non-examined surfaces remains an unsolved problem. The challenges arise from the nature of optical colonoscopy data, characterized by highly reflective low-texture surfaces, drastic ...

One of the primary challenges of the telecommunications industry is to address the broadband connectivity divide. Policy makers, regulators, and network operators are in need to understand the amount of capital required to address this gap and ...

• The purpose this research is to develop a tool to estimate the required capital to tackle the broadband connectivity targets. To date, most studies aimed at estimating the investment associated with broadband deployment have consisted in ...
