Abstract Currently, distributed routing protocols are constrained by offering a single path between any pair of nodes, thereby limiting the potential throughput and overall network performance. This approach not only restricts the flow of data but also makes the network susceptible to failures in case the primary path is disrupted. In contrast, routing protocols that leverage multiple paths within the network offer a more resilient and efficient solution. Multipath routing, as a fundamental concept, surpasses the limitations of traditional shortest path first protocols. It not only redirects traffic to unused resources, effectively mitigating network congestion, but… More >

Abstract Uveal and conjunctival melanomas are relatively rare tumors; nonetheless, they pose a significant risk of mortality for a large number of affected individuals. The pathogenesis of melanoma at different sites is very similar, however, the prognosis for patients with ocular melanoma remains unfavourable, primarily due to its distinctive genetic profile and tumor microenvironment. Regardless of considerable advances in understanding the genetic characteristics and biological behaviour, the treatment of uveal and conjunctival melanoma remains a formidable challenge. To enhance the prospect of success, collaborative efforts involving medical professionals and researchers in the fields of ocular biology… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract By the analysis of vulnerabilities of Android native system services, we find that some vulnerabilities are caused by inconsistent data transmission and inconsistent data processing logic between client and server. The existing research cannot find the above two types of vulnerabilities and the test cases of them face the problem of low coverage. In this paper, we propose an extraction method of test cases based on the native system services of the client and design a case construction method that supports multi-parameter mutation based on genetic algorithm and priority strategy. Based on the above method, More >

Abstract Rosaceae represents a vast and complex group of species, with its classification being intricate and contentious. The taxonomic placement of many species within this family has been a subject of ongoing debate. The study utilized the Illumina platform to sequence 19 plant species from 10 genera in the Rosaceae. The cp genomes, varying in size from 153,366 to 159,895 bp, followed the typical quadripartite organization consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region (84,545 to 87,883 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,174 to 19,259 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (25,310 to… More >

Abstract The cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) enzyme is essential for controlling the fluctuating levels of endogenous cytokinin (CK) and has a significant impact on different aspects of plant growth and development. Nonetheless, there is limited knowledge about CKX genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Here we performed genome-wide identification and analysis of nine SlCKX family members in tomatoes using bioinformatics tools. The results revealed that nine SlCKX genes were unevenly distributed on five chromosomes (Chr.1, Chr.4, Chr.8, Chr.10, and Chr.12). The amino acid length, isoelectric points, and molecular weight of the nine SlCKX proteins ranged from 453 to 553, 5.77… More >

Abstract Correlation power analysis (CPA) combined with genetic algorithms (GA) now achieves greater attack efficiency and can recover all subkeys simultaneously. However, two issues in GA-based CPA still need to be addressed: key degeneration and slow evolution within populations. These challenges significantly hinder key recovery efforts. This paper proposes a screening correlation power analysis framework combined with a genetic algorithm, named SFGA-CPA, to address these issues. SFGA-CPA introduces three operations designed to exploit CPA characteristics: propagative operation, constrained crossover, and constrained mutation. Firstly, the propagative operation accelerates population evolution by maximizing the number of correct bytes… More >

Abstract When designing solar systems and assessing the effectiveness of their many uses, estimating sun irradiance is a crucial first step. This study examined three approaches (ANN, GA-ANN, and ANFIS) for estimating daily global solar radiation (GSR) in the south of Algeria: Adrar, Ouargla, and Bechar. The proposed hybrid GA-ANN model, based on genetic algorithm-based optimization, was developed to improve the ANN model. The GA-ANN and ANFIS models performed better than the standalone ANN-based model, with GA-ANN being better suited for forecasting in all sites, and it performed the best with the best values in the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract To support the explosive growth of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides users with low latency and high bandwidth service by offloading computational tasks to the network’s edge. However, resource-constrained mobile devices still suffer from a capacity mismatch when faced with latency-sensitive and compute-intensive emerging applications. To address the difficulty of running computationally intensive applications on resource-constrained clients, a model of the computation offloading problem in a network consisting of multiple mobile users and edge cloud servers is studied in this paper. Then a user benefit function EoU (Experience of Users) is… More >

Abstract Fog computing has recently developed as a new paradigm with the aim of addressing time-sensitive applications better than with cloud computing by placing and processing tasks in close proximity to the data sources. However, the majority of the fog nodes in this environment are geographically scattered with resources that are limited in terms of capabilities compared to cloud nodes, thus making the application placement problem more complex than that in cloud computing. An approach for cost-efficient application placement in fog-cloud computing environments that combines the benefits of both fog and cloud computing to optimize the… More >

Abstract In this study, we introduce a novel multi-objective optimization model tailored for modern manufacturing, aiming to mitigate the cost impacts of operational disruptions through optimized corrective maintenance. Central to our approach is the strategic placement of maintenance stations and the efficient allocation of personnel, addressing a crucial gap in the integration of maintenance personnel dispatching and station selection. Our model uniquely combines the spatial distribution of machinery with the expertise of operators to achieve a harmonious balance between maintenance efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The core of our methodology is the NSGA III+ Dispatch, an advanced adaptation… More >
