A Novel Energy-Efficient Reception Method Based on Random Network Coding in Cooperative Wireless Sensor Networks by Yulun Cheng, Longxiang Yang

“…In OR, the sensor nodes in intermediate cluster generate the independent coding vector through simple forwarding or decoding-recoding manners opportunistically, so that the number of received packets can be reduced. To evaluate the algorithm, we derive the average number of received packets, the transmitting nodes, and decoding failure probability under specific assumption. …”

Could the Inflation Reduction Act Maximum Fair Price Hurt Patients? by Anne M. Sydor, Esteban Rivera, Robert Popovian

“…To offset the resulting pressure on their profit margins, it is possible that PBMs would, in turn, increase patients’ out-of-pocket costs for medicines with capped prices. The model presented here evaluates how increased out-of-pocket costs for the anticoagulants apixaban (Eliquis) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto) could impact patients financially and clinically. …”
