The Entropic Braiding Index : A Robust Metric to Account for the Diversity of Channel Scales in Multi‐Thread Rivers by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…Here we present a modification of BI, the Entropic Braiding Index (eBI), which augments the information content in BI by using Shannon Entropy to encode the diversity of channels in each cross section. eBI is interpreted as the number of “effective channels” per cross-section, allowing a direct comparison with the traditional BI. …”

Buffer-aided relaying protocols for cooperative FSO communications by Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

“…We propose three novel decode-and-forward relaying protocols that are adapted to the nature of FSO transmissions and are capable of achieving different levels of tradeoff between outage probability, average packet delay and system complexity: 1) the BA selective relaying protocol that can be implemented in the presence of channel state information (CSI) and that outperforms the RF max-link protocol with a reduced delay; 2) the BA all-active relaying protocol that can be implemented in the absence of CSI and constitutes the simplest protocol with the best delay performance at the expense of a degraded outage performance; and 3) the BA load-balanced selective protocol where supplementary FSO communications are triggered along the inter-relay links for a more balanced distribution of the packets among the buffers. …”

Managing Change in Pluralistic Organizations: The Role of Normative Accountability Assumptions by Asad Mir, Farzana

“…One of the organizational mechanisms in which the normative assumptions are encoded and enacted is the system of accountability, hence in pluralistic organizations, there is a need to understand the role of the interplay of the normative accountability assumptions of the change initiative with the multiple sets of accountability assumptions representing individual logics within the organization. …”

Centroid-Based Differential Evolution with Composite Trial Vector Generation Strategies for Neural Network Training by El-Abd, Mohammed

“…In this paper, we present Cen-CoDE, a centroid-based differential evolution algorithm with composite trial vector generation strategies and control parameters to train neural networks. Our algorithm encodes weights and biases into a candidate solution, employs a centroid-based strategy in three different ways to generate different trial vectors, while the objective function is based on classification error. …”

Security Analysis of Integrated HAP-Based FSO and UAV-Enabled RF Downlink Communications by Mohammad Javad Saber (4334227)

“…We investigate the secrecy performance of an integrated HAP-based FSO and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled radio frequency (RF) downlink system using the decode-and-forward relaying protocol. While optical links inherently provide better security, our focus is on the eavesdropping threats to the RF link. …”

Efficient real-time license plate recognition using deep learning on edge devices by Fedi Sonnara (22928650)

“…It shares a ResNet-18 + FPN backbone, removes 28 % of convolutions with a channel-fusion block, and replaces anchors with an anchor-free head followed by a CTC decoder. After mixed-precision compilation in Torch-TensorRT, the 38 MB model sustains 14 FPS on a Jetson Nano—73 % faster than the anchor-free AF-Net (8.1 FPS) and 49 % faster than YOLOv8-MobileLPR (9.5 FPS)—while keeping competitive accuracy (90.2 % mAP) and halving AF-Net’s power consumption (4.8 W vs 8.8 W). …”
