Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…The resilience of C-sync to byzantine faults is also demonstrated by a quick recovery of correct time information when faulty information was introduced. The algorithms presented in this thesis collectively achieve an energy-efficient, adaptable and fault-resilient IoT network organically to solve the research gaps despite the orthogonal requirements. …”

Salient keypoint detectors and compact feature descriptors for 3D perception by Prakhya, Sai Manoj

“…B-SHOT requires 32 times lesser memory for its representation while being 6 times faster in feature descriptor matching, when compared to the SHOT. Finally, for the applications that require online transfer of 3D descriptors over a network, there is a need to develop compressed 3D descriptors with even lower memory footprint, i.e., bandwidth and yet have high descriptiveness. …”

Evaluation of diabetic wound healing properties of moringa oleifera lam using in vitro and in vivo wound models by Muhammad Amali, Abubakar

“…The in vitro test results demonstrated that, crude methanolic extract and aqueous fraction of M. oleifera significantly stimulated proliferation and migration of HDF cells (p<0.05) at 24,48 and 72 hours after treatment to close the artificially wounded area when compared to untreated control cells. The distance was measured and analyzed quantitatively at time interval of 0, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the scratch. …”

Graph representation learning by Zhang, Xinyi

“…As for the node-level graph representation learning, traditional node-level representation learning methods focus more on homogeneous information networks (homogeneous graphs) and have achieved remarkable performance. However, when it takes different aspects of a graph into consideration, especially in heterogeneous information networks (HINs) where multiple types of nodes and edges should be considered, node-level representation learning methods designed for homogeneous information networks are suboptimal and fail to handle the semantic incompatibility brought from HIN. …”

Interventions for smoking cessation in hospitalised patients by Streck, JM, Rigotti, NA, Livingstone-Banks, J, Tindle, HA, Clair, C, Munafò, MR, Sterling-Maisel, C, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…Counselling provided only in hospital, without post‐discharge support, may have a modest impact on quit rates, but evidence is less certain. When all patients receive counselling in the hospital, high‐certainty evidence indicates that providing both counselling and pharmacotherapy after discharge increases quit rates compared to no post‐discharge intervention. …”

“…Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be described by a local SU(3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers”, is reviewed; the goal of this review is to provide advanced Ph.D. students a comprehensive handbook, helpful for their research. When QCD was “discovered” 50 years ago, the idea that quarks could exist, but not be observed, left most physicists unconvinced. …”
