Proper configuration of operating systems and program parameters is known to be a key security factor in order to remove vulnerabilities. It is known that vulnerabilities can be caused by a human misconfiguration or by an ...

Random Boolean networks (RBN) and Cellular Automata (CA) operate in a very similar way. They update their state with simple deterministic functions called Boolean function or Transition Table (TT), both being essentially ...

Assisted reproductive technology is used for treating infertility, and its success relies on the quality and viability of embryos chosen for uterine transfer. Currently, embryologists manually assess embryo development, ...

Due to the complex underwater environment, conventional measurement and sensing methods used for land are difficult to apply directly in the underwater environment. Especially for seabed topography, it is impossible to ...

Voxel-based soft robots (VSRs) are a type of modular robots composed by interconnected soft and deformable blocks, i.e., voxels. Thanks to the softness of their bodies, VSRs may exhibit rich dynamic behaviors. One open ...

This article advances the critical importance of Indigenous journalism – both as a field and practice – for Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination. The co-authors demonstrate this through discussions of education, ...

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), deep-learning neural networks have superior performance but pose transparency and explainability barriers, due to their black box nature, and, thus, there is lack of trustworthiness. ...

Industrial information models are standardised ways of representing industrial devices, equipment, and processes together with the data collected from associated sensors and control systems. Companies invest in such models ...

Homotopy methods have proven to be a powerful tool for understanding the multitude of solutions provided by the coupled-cluster polynomial equations. This endeavor has been pioneered by quantum chemists that have undertaken ...
