Delay Optimization in LoRaWAN by Employing Adaptive Scheduling Algorithm With Unsupervised Learning by Zulfiqar Ali (117651)

“…The main issue which arises in LoRaWAN is because of its high packet drop rate due to collision. The reason behind this packet drop rate is the MAC scheme known as Pure Aloha used by LoRaWAN for the transmission of the frames. …”

Origin of arrhythmias in a heart model by Sheheitli, Hiba

“…An investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of a heart model is presented. The model compartmentalizes the heart into one part that beats autonomously (the x oscillator), representing the pacemaker or SA node, and a second part that beats only if excited by a signal originating outside itself (the y oscillator), representing typical cardiac tissue. …”
