    WebFLex: A Framework for Web Browsers-Based Peer-to-Peer Federated Learning Systems Using WebRTC

    Mai Alzamel1,*, Hamza Ali Rizvi2, Najwa Altwaijry1, Isra Al-Turaiki1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 4177-4204, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048370

    Abstract Scalability and information personal privacy are vital for training and deploying large-scale deep learning models. Federated learning trains models on exclusive information by aggregating weights from various devices and taking advantage of the device-agnostic environment of web browsers. Nevertheless, relying on a main central server for internet browser-based federated systems can prohibit scalability and interfere with the training process as a result of growing client numbers. Additionally, information relating to the training dataset can possibly be extracted from the distributed weights, potentially reducing the privacy of the local data used for training. In this research paper, we aim to investigate… More >

    Peer-Support in Oncology: A Qualitative Study of Caregivers Perception in a Cancer Center

    Pair-aidance en Oncologie : Etude Qualitative de la Perception des Soignants dans un Centre de Lutte Contre le Cancer

    Guilhem Paillard-Brunet*, Audrey Couillet

    Psycho-Oncologie, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 23-31, 2024, DOI:10.32604/po.2023.047888

    Abstract This study aimed to gather healthcare professionals’ expectations and reluctance toward peer support in a cancer center. Semistructured interviews were conducted among 12 professionals, recruited in different professions. The interviews were fully transcribed, and a thematic analysis was then conducted. Of the data analysis, three main themes about professionals’ expectations emerged: the need for the strongest support of the patients, to break the isolation in the sickness, and to enhance the care system. Three main themes also emerged from the data analysis about professionals’ reluctances: the limitations related to the intervention of the peer-workers, the psychological issues of the relationship,… More >

    RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING OF IMPLANTED TISSUE ENGINEERED SCAFFOLDS: SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

    Mohammad Izadifara,b,*, Xiongbiao Chena,b

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.4, pp. 1-7, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.4.3004

    Abstract Heat can be potentially used for accelerating biodegradation of implanted tissue engineered scaffolds. Cyclic and continuous radio frequency (RF) heating was applied to implanted chitosan and alginate scaffolds at 4 applied voltages, 3 frequencies, and 2 thermally conditioning environments. A 3D finite element model was developed to simulate the RF treatment. A uniform RF heating was achieved at the scaffold top. For alginate, voltage was the only significant RF heating factor while both frequency and voltage significantly affected RF heating of chitosan. Less temperature gradient across the scaffold was achieved at a conditioning environment at <30°C. Surrounding tissue was insignificantly… More >

    Synergistic Swarm Optimization Algorithm

    Sharaf Alzoubi1, Laith Abualigah2,3,4,5,6,7,8,*, Mohamed Sharaf9, Mohammad Sh. Daoud10, Nima Khodadadi11, Heming Jia12

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2557-2604, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.045170

    Abstract This research paper presents a novel optimization method called the Synergistic Swarm Optimization Algorithm (SSOA). The SSOA combines the principles of swarm intelligence and synergistic cooperation to search for optimal solutions efficiently. A synergistic cooperation mechanism is employed, where particles exchange information and learn from each other to improve their search behaviors. This cooperation enhances the exploitation of promising regions in the search space while maintaining exploration capabilities. Furthermore, adaptive mechanisms, such as dynamic parameter adjustment and diversification strategies, are incorporated to balance exploration and exploitation. By leveraging the collaborative nature of swarm intelligence and integrating synergistic cooperation, the SSOA… More >

    The Relationship between Father-Love Absence and Loneliness: Based on the Perspective of the Social Functionalist Theory and the Social Needs Theory

    Yaping Zhou1,2,5,#, He Zhong3,#, Xiaojun Li4,*, Yanhui Xiang1,2,5,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.2, pp. 139-148, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.046598

    Abstract Fathers play an important role in adolescents’ development, which is significant for their development and influences their mental health, including feeling of loneliness. However, the effects and mechanisms of father-love absence on individual loneliness are not clear. Based on the social functionalist theory and the social needs theory, this study examines the influence of individual father-love absence on loneliness and its underlying mechanisms. A questionnaire survey was administered to 319 junior high school students and 1,476 high school students. The results showed that adolescents with father-love absence had higher levels of loneliness, and that father-love absence affected loneliness levels through… More >

    In vitro engineered models of neurodegenerative diseases

    ZEHRA GÜL MORÇIMEN1, ŞEYMA TAŞDEMIR2, AYLIN ŞENDEMIR3,4,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.1, pp. 79-96, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.045361

    Abstract Neurodegeneration is a catastrophic process that develops progressive damage leading to functional and structural loss of the cells of the nervous system and is among the biggest unavoidable problems of our age. Animal models do not reflect the pathophysiology observed in humans due to distinct differences between the neural pathways, gene expression patterns, neuronal plasticity, and other disease-related mechanisms in animals and humans. Classical in vitro cell culture models are also not sufficient for pre-clinical drug testing in reflecting the complex pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. Today, modern, engineered techniques are applied to develop multicellular, intricate in vitro models and to… More >

    A Comparative Study of Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms for Solving Real-World Engineering Design Problems

    Elif Varol Altay, Osman Altay, Yusuf Özçevik*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 1039-1094, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029404

    Abstract Real-world engineering design problems with complex objective functions under some constraints are relatively difficult problems to solve. Such design problems are widely experienced in many engineering fields, such as industry, automotive, construction, machinery, and interdisciplinary research. However, there are established optimization techniques that have shown effectiveness in addressing these types of issues. This research paper gives a comparative study of the implementation of seventeen new metaheuristic methods in order to optimize twelve distinct engineering design issues. The algorithms used in the study are listed as: transient search optimization (TSO), equilibrium optimizer (EO), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), moth-flame optimization (MFO), whale… More >
