Gaining or losing team ball possession: The dynamics of momentum perception and strategic choice in football coaches by Briki, Walid

“…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches' tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …”

Towards energy efficient and quality of service aware cell zooming in 5G wireless networks by Lateef, Hafiz Yasar

“…The exponential growth of mobile data traffic would lead to dense deployment of small base stations and eventually higher energy consumption in Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks. We formulate a dynamic cell zooming and base stations sleep optimization algorithm for dense heterogeneous networks as a Linear Programming (LP) problem in order to not only minimize the system power consumption but also to guarantee the quality of service to end user. …”

Minimizing energy consumption of IoT devices for O-RAN based IoT systems by Wang, Liping

“…Although the traditional edge network architecture has been extensively employed, it continues to pose challenges in terms of synchronizing the integration of global and local information for the design of an optimal offloading strategy in edge servers, thus hindering the reduction of latency and energy consumption in IoT devices. In an effort to decrease the latency and energy consumption of IoT devices (IoTDs), we propose a computation offloading problem and employs the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm to convert the non-convex problem into a convex problem. …”
