Dependable, safety-critical real-time (SCRT) systems are becoming increasingly important and complex.Examples of such systems are autonomous or self-driving cars which are poised to revolutionise the transport industry.A critical part of these SCRT systems is the network communication tonic shower cap protocol that is used by components in an SCRT
To dissociate a choice from its antecedent neural states, motivation associated with the expected outcome must be captured in the absence of choice.Yet, the neural mechanisms that mediate behavioral idiosyncrasies in motivation, particularly with regard to complex economic preferences, are rarely examined in situations without overt decisions.We em
Introduction: The gamma index is a known parameter for radiotherapy dose verification.Many free and commercial programs have been written for the calculation of this index.However, the verification of the results has been overlooked in many of the programs.The present study tested the validity of three gamma index calculator programs.Material and M
Abstract Background Italian ryegrass is a temperate climate crop, which is widely cultivated in the winter fallow paddy fields of subtropical China.The utilization efficiency of Italian ryegrass depends greatly on its growth stage at harvest.Previous studies have reported the optimum stage for harvesting various forage to balance their quality and
The Internet of Things (IoT) will shortly be undergoing a major transformation from a sensor-driven paradigm to one that is heavily complemented by actuators, drones, and robots.The real-time situational awareness of such active systems requires sensed data to be transmitted in the uplink to edge-cloud, processed, and control instructions transmitt
