Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2587: Piezoelectric Sensors as Energy Harvesters for Ultra Low-Power IoT Applications
zebon
The aim of this paper is to discuss the usability of vibrations as energy sources, for the implementation of energy self-sufficient wireless sensing platforms within the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) framework. In this context, this paper proposes to equip vibrating assets like machinery with piezoelectric sensors, used to set up energy self-sufficient sensing platforms for hard-to-reach positions. Preliminary measurements as well as extended laboratory tests are proposed to understand the behavior of commercial piezoelectric sensors when employed as energy harvesters. First, a general architecture for a v...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2579: Adaptive Dataset Management Scheme for Lightweight Federated Learning in Mobile Edge Computing
g Lee
Federated learning (FL) in mobile edge computing has emerged as a promising machine-learning paradigm in the Internet of Things, enabling distributed training without exposing private data. It allows multiple mobile devices (MDs) to collaboratively create a global model. FL not only addresses the issue of private data exposure but also alleviates the burden on a centralized server, which is common in conventional centralized learning. However, a critical issue in FL is the imposed computing for local training on multiple MDs, which often have limited computing capabilities. This limitation poses a challenge for M...

The association between childhood adverse experiences and internet addiction: A meta-analysis
In conclusion, this study sheds light on the significant association between ACEs and IA, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and preventive measures. Future research could delve into specific interventions aimed at mitigating the impact of ACEs on IA, such as cognitive-behavioral therapies or metacognitive therapy interventions. Additionally, investigating cultural factors that may influence this association could provide valuable insights into tailored approaches for different populations. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective strategies to address IA and its underlying factors.PMID...

DREAMweb: An online tool for graph ‐based modeling of NMR protein structure
AbstractThe value of accurate protein structural models closely conforming to the experimental data is indisputable. DREAMweb deploys an improved DREAM algorithm, DREAMv2, that incorporates a tighter bound in the constraint set of the underlying optimization approach. This reduces the artifacts while modeling the protein structure by solving the distance-geometry problem. DREAMv2 follows a bottom-up strategy of building smaller substructures for regions with a larger concentration of experimental bounds and consolidating them before modeling the rest of the protein structure. This improves secondary structure conformance i...
