Receivers location privacy in avionic crowdsourced networks: Issues and countermeasures by Savio Sciancalepore (16864152)

“…Moreover, we also provide effective countermeasures to increase receivers’ location privacy. Finally, we discuss the trade-offs implied by the cited countermeasures, showing that it is possible to increase location privacy while not decreasing data utility.…”

An adaptive error control system using hybrid ARQ schemes by Kousa, M.A.

“…Comparisons with other adaptive schemes indicate that the proposed system is superior from the point of view of throughput, while still providing the same order of reliability as an ARQ (automatic repeat request) system. The main feature of this system is that the receiver uses the same decoder for decoding the received information after each transmission while the error-correcting capability of the code increases. …”

Predicting infarction growth rate II using ANFIS-based binary particle swarm optimization technique in ischemic stroke by Afnan Al-Ali (16888695)

“…One such promising technique, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), has shown potential, but it faces the 'curse of dimensionality' and long training times as the number of features increased. This paper introduces an innovative, automatic method that combines Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) with ANFIS architecture, achieves reduction in dimensionality by reducing the number of rules and training time. …”

Disrupted harvests: how Ukraine – Russia war influences global food systems – a systematic review by Hamid El Bilali (15864930)

“…The war affected all food security dimensions, but the most dramatic impact was on food access. Indeed, the decrease in domestic food production and productivity; the damage to production assets, food production, and food stocks; the increase in production input prices; changes in land use and land degradation; and labour shortage in rural areas reduced food supply and availability, especially that of cereals. …”

Welding of Semiconductor Nanowires by Coupling Laser-Induced Peening and Localized Heating by Kelly M. Rickey (19568770)

“…The characterization results indicate that solely laser peening or sintering can only moderately improve the thin film quality; however, when coupled together as laser peen sintering (LPS), the electrical conductivity enhancement is dramatic. LPS can decrease resistivity up to a factor of ~10,000, resulting in values on the order of ~105 Ω-cm in some cases, which is comparable to CdTe thin films. …”
