A throughput model for CSMA/CA with a cross-layer payload-dropping optimization by Lau, Chiew Tong, Jayabal, Raymond J.

“…For physical transceivers relying solely on preamble detection for carrier sensing, this optimization adequately mitigates the exposed node syndrome, thereby allowing nodes to enjoy nearly the maximum throughput as provided by CSMA/CA in single cell or carrier-sensing threshold (CST) isolated scenarios.…”

British unpaid carers’ perspectives on what impacts their resilience when providing end of life care at home- a scoping review by Gould, S, Borgstrom, E, McCallum, K, Wee, B, Garcia, R

“…Most studies focused on coping strategies (n = 9), not resilience. Nearly all identified studies involved bereaved carers (n = 9), with no studies focusing purely on current unpaid carer experience. …”

Location identification of line supports using experimental modal analysis by Wu, Lei, Yang, Yaowen, Maheshwari, Muneesh

“…In many engineering applications, line supports are used to reinforce long span structures such as multi-span beams and plates. However, the presence of line supports usually causes local stress concentration. …”
