Stratum corneum (SC) is the outermost skin layer. SC hydration is important for its cosmetic properties and barrier function. SC trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements and skin water content measurements are two key indexes used for SC charac...

Recently, there has been an increasing need for new applications and services such as big data, blockchains, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), the Internet of things, 5G, and beyond. Therefore, to maintain quality of service (QoS), accurate network resour...

The software-defined networking (SDN) standard decouples the data and control planes. SDN is used in the Internet of Things (IoT) due to its programmability, central view and deployment of innovative protocols, and is known as SD-IoT. However, in SD-...

Patellar tendinopathy (PT) in professional volleyball players can have an impact on their careers. We evaluated the impact of this pathology in this specific population in terms of isokinetic strength and jumping performances. Thirty-six professional...

With the proliferation of 5G mobile networks within next-generation wireless communication, the design and optimization of 5G networks are progressing in the direction of improving the physical layer security (PLS) paradigm. This phenomenon is due to...

The salient object detection (SOD) technology predicts which object will attract the attention of an observer surveying a particular scene. Most state-of-the-art SOD methods are top-down mechanisms that apply fully convolutional networks (FCNs) of va...

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing is widely used in non-destructive testing of ferromagnetic components. In view of the serious attenuation of the leakage magnetic field (LMF) caused by the transmission of LMF in the lift-off layer between the meas...

Concomitant with the increasing density of semiconductors, various attacks that threaten the integrity and security of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) have been devised. Among these, a side-channel attack called RAMBleed is a prolific one that ut...

Agricultural industry is facing a serious threat from plant diseases that cause production and economic losses. Early information on disease development can improve disease control using suitable management strategies. This study sought to detect dow...

Re-authentication continuously checks to see if a user is authorized during a whole usage session, enhancing secrecy capabilities for computational devices, especially against insider attacks. However, it is challenging to design a reliable re-authen...
