Channel assignment and power allocation for throughput improvement with PPO in B5G heterogeneous edge networks by He, Xiaoming, Mao, Yingchi, Liu, Yinqiu, Ping, Ping, Hong, Yan, Hu, Han

“…Unfortunately, uncoordinated radio resource allocation can reduce system throughput and lead to user inequity, for this reason, in this paper, channel allocation and power allocation problems are formulated to maximize the system sum rate and minimum user achievable rate. Since the construction model is non-convex and the response variables are high-dimensional, a distributed Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework called distributed Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is proposed to allocate or assign resources. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”

Achieving Secure and Performant Databases with Minimal Resource Overhead by Lim, Darren

“…Typically, trusted database code is run alongside stored procedure code, which means that user-inputted stored procedure code can pose a security risk to the database and data itself, if the code contains vulnerabilities. Additionally, since Linux has such a large codebase, Linux-based VMs are subject to complex latency concerns and also a large attack surface. …”

Representation of international marriages and foreign wives in public discourses in Singapore from 1980s to 2000s by Lee, Wanyi

“…Using various materials including newspaper articles and publications from women’s rights organisation, Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE), the paper argues that the public discourses portrayed the figure of foreign wives as largely problematic since the 1980s through different means such as silences and the amplification of certain negative traits. …”

A novel approach to designing a guitar distortion effects pedal by Zheng, Luka

“…Guitar distortion has been an integral part of modern music since the 1960s. This was first done by overdriving the tube amplifier beyond its linear region, creating a harmonic distortion characteristic that is dominant in the 2nd harmonics, and changing to odd harmonic distortion as the output voltage swing is limited by the rail voltage. …”
