Integration of wireless power transfer and low power wide area networks in IoT applications—A review by Molefi J. Makhetha, Elisha D. Markus, Adnan M. Abu-Mahfouz

“…Specifically, we discuss factors affecting LPWAN end-devices’ power consumption which comprises the spreading factor, communication range and bit-rate. Also, comparison analysis is performed to highlight the superiority of wireless sensors/power transfer, in terms of cost, reliability, environmental impact and scalability Essentially, it is necessary to realise the potential of these two techniques (WPT and LPWAN), as their integration can advance various fields like structural health monitoring (SHM), precision agriculture, healthcare, and environmental monitoring.…”

An impermeable copper surface monolayer with high-temperature oxidation resistance by Su Jae Kim, Young-Hoon Kim, Bipin Lamichhane, Binod Regmi, Yousil Lee, Sang-Hyeok Yang, Seon Je Kim, Min-Hyoung Jung, Jae Hyuck Jang, Hu Young Jeong, Miaofang Chi, Maeng-Je Seong, Hak Soo Choi, Seong-Gon Kim, Young-Min Kim, Se-Young Jeong

“…The introduction of anchoring elements to reinforce Cu–O bonds enables the formation of an atomically thin barrier on the Cu surface, rendering it impermeable to O even at high temperatures (400 °C) while preserving its intrinsic conductivity. This oxidation resistance, facilitated by the impermeable atomic monolayer, opens promising opportunities for researchers and industries to overcome limitations associated with the use of oxidizable metal films.…”

Application of complexity theory in health and social care research: a scoping review by Áine Carroll, Claire Collins, Andrew Darley, Diarmuid Stokes, Jane McKenzie

“…Background Complexity theory has been chosen by many authors as a suitable lens through which to examine health and social care. Despite its potential value, many empirical investigations apply the theory in a tokenistic manner without engaging with its underlying concepts and underpinnings.Objectives The aim of this scoping review is to synthesise the literature on empirical studies that have centred on the application of complexity theory to understand health and social care provision.Methods This scoping review considered primary research using complexity theory-informed approaches, published in English between 2012 and 2021. …”

Design of High-Speed Multiway Merge Sorting Networks Using Fast Single-Stage N-Sorters and N-Filters by Robert B. Kent, Marios S. Pattichis

“…A fully pipelined 3-way merge network in this FPGA is capable of fully sorting 500 million lists of 729 unsorted 32-bit values in one second. In software, multiway merge methods are used to find the median of certain pixel rectangles in images, since the median can be determined in fewer stages than are required to fully sort the rectangle. …”
