Decolonization Projects by Cornelius Ewuoso

“…At the funding level, many grant-awarding agencies like Wellcome Trust have dedicated huge budgets to studies that help them understand how they may have perpetrated colonialism or neocolonialism and what they can do differently going forward.[20] In South Africa, promulgating the Employment Equity Act 55 was a tangible attempt to entrench decolonization concerns in a country's regulatory framework. …”

Pricing and Allotment in a Sea-Cargo Supply Chain with Reference Effect: A Dynamic Game Approach by Lei Xu, Govindan Kannan, Xiaoli Yang, Jian Li, Xiukun Zhao

“…The contract between the carrier and forwarder is a long-term issue, and the repeated contract business makes the forwarder develop a reference point based on the contract prices, and this reference effect, to a large extent, affects the forwarder’s contract purchasing decisions. …”

Stiffness characteristics of the lower extremities in Women’s Chinese Basketball Association competition athletes: normative values and position differences by Dan Wang, Zhihai Wang, Mingming Yang, Kaiyuan Qu, Xinyu Mao, Xin Yang, Zhiye Zhang, Che Shao, Eamonn Delahunt, Eamonn Delahunt, Wenxuan Fang

“…Vertical stiffness was also evaluated by OptoGait system.ResultsDescriptive statistics were used to establish the normative values of stiffness for forwards, centres and guards. The Kruskal Wallis test and post hoc Bonferroni pairwise comparisons found significant higher stiffness of the left patellar tendon (PT) in guards than centres (p = 0.004) and in guards than forwards (p = 0.012), right PT stiffness in guards than centres (p = 0.016) and in guards than forwards (p = 0.017), mean PT stiffness in guards than centres (p = 0.003) and in guards than forwards (p = 0.008); stiffness of the right soleus (SOL) in guards than forwards (p = 0.033), stiffness of the left biceps femoris (BF) in forwards than centres (p = 0.049) and in guards than centres (p = 0.038); and stiffness of the left vertical stiffness (hopping) in forwards than centres (p = 0.041).ConclusionForwards, centres and guards were characterised by significantly different stiffness values, which could be utilised for improvement of athletic performance and injury prevention.…”

The Bioethics-CSR Divide by Caio Caesar Dib

“…Bioethics was part of the trend as it would be carried forward by movements such as feminism and the patients’ rights movement.[9] Bioethics would gradually move from a public discourse centered around the responsible use of science and technology to academic and government spaces.[10]  This evolution led to an increasing emphasis on intellectual rigor and governance. …”

Differential Evolution Algorithm with Diversified Vicinity Operator for Optimal Routing and Clustering of Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks by Subramaniam Sumithra, T. Aruldoss Albert Victoire

“…The proposed method is based on the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm with an improvised search operator called Diversified Vicinity Procedure (DVP), which models a trade-off between energy consumption of the cluster heads and delay in forwarding the data packets. The obtained route using the proposed method from all the gateways to the base station is comparatively lesser in overall distance with less number of data forwards. …”

Robust and Energy-Efficient Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Network by Juan Feng, Baowang Lian, Hongwei Zhao

“…Unfortunately, if one node in the chain is failed due to some reasons such as energy exhaust, then the information cannot be forwarded to the sink. To improve system robustness and balance the energy consumption, this paper proposes a robust and energy-efficient data gathering (REEDG) approach, which is an improvement over the chain-based and grid-based network structures, in sensor information collecting system. …”

Evaluating the Performance of a Static Patching Strategy against Computer Viruses by Da-Wen Huang, Lu-Xing Yang, Xiaofan Yang, Xiang Zhong, Yuan Yan Tang

“…Due to the limited network bandwidth, new virus patches are typically injected into a small subset of network nodes and then forwarded to the remaining nodes. A static patching strategy consists of a fixed patch injection rate and a fixed patch forwarding rate. …”
