MAPPING TEMPORALITIES AND PROCESSES WITH SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS: METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES AND ADVANCES


Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Cooperative Spectrum Sensing and Channel Access in Cognitive UAV Networks

This paper studies the problem of distributed spectrum/channel access for cognitive radio-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles (CUAVs) that overlay Tutu upon primary channels.Under the framework of cooperative spectrum sensing and opportunistic transmission, a one-shot optimization problem for channel allocation, aiming to maximize the expected cumulat

Community-based transconjunctival marginal rotation for cicatricial trachoma in Indians from the Upper Rio Negro basin

The objective of the present study was to describe, for the first time in Brazil, the use by a non-ophthalmologist of a LONG SLEEVE TOPS community-based marginal rotation procedure by a posterior approach in the indigenous population from the Upper Rio Negro basin.Seventy-three upper eyelids of 46 Indians (11 males and 35 females) with cicatricial

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE EFFECTS OF SEABED SHALLOW SOILS ON A TYPICAL DEEPWATER SUBSEA WELLHEAD SYSTEM

Deepwater subsea wellheads may be significantly threatened under extreme sea conditions and operations, especially when the seabed is composed of very soft clay properties.A numerical model of a deepwater wellhead system is established using the classic ocean tube top pipe element and nonlinear spring element of ANSYS to examine the behaviors of su
