Optimal coalition structure generation strategy in multi-task concurrent edge computing environment by Shuxu ZHAO, Ping WEI, Xiaolong WANG

“…A discrete recent past-position updating strategy based m-ary discrete particle swarm optimization (MDPSO-DRPPUS) algorithm was proposed for the problem of large search space and low efficiency when solving the optimal coalition structure.First, the coalition structure with index-based was coded.Then, the multi-objective optimization problem was transformed into an eigenvalue function of the coalition structure.Finally, the optimal coalition structure was searched by using the MDPSO-DRPPUS algorithm.Experiments show that compared with the m-ary discrete particle swarm optimization (MDPSO) algorithm and genetic algorithm (GA), the proposed algorithm dramatically reduces the average running time, and improves the efficiency and equilibrium of the coalition structure and task completion efficiency of edge nodes.…”

Ozone as Janus: this controversial gas can be either toxic or medically useful by Velio Bocci

“…The unbelievable versatility of ozone therapy is due to the cascade of ozone-derived compounds able to act on several targets leading to a multifactorial correction of a pathological state. During the past decade, contrary to all expectations, it has been demonstrated that the judicious application of ozone in chronic infectious diseases, vasculopathies, orthopedics and even dentistry has yielded such striking results that it is deplorable that the medical establishment continues to ignore ozone therapy.…”
