In the traditional $(H,r,M,N)$ combination network, a central server storing N files communicates with $K=(\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{H}{r})$ users through H cache-less relays. Each user has a local cache of size M files and is connected to a distinct subset of r relays. This paper s...

Cascaded coded distributed computing (CDC) reduces Shuffle communication through redundant Map computations and replicated output assignments. We propose Map–Shuffle–Reduce arrays (MSRAs), a unified framework for describing file placement...

In the traditional $(K,L,M_T,M_U,N)$ partially connected linear network, a central server stores a library of N files and connects to $K+L-1$ transmitters, each equipped with a cache of size $M_T$. Each user is connected to L neighboring transmitters an...

This paper considers a two-layer hierarchical network, where a server containing N files is connected to $K_1$ mirrors and each mirror is connected to $K_2$ users. Each mirror and each user has a cache memory of size $M_1$ and $M_2$ files, respectively. The serv...

In a traditional $(H,r)$ combination network, each user connects to a unique set of r relays. However, few research efforts have considered the $(H,r,u)$ multiaccess combination network problem wherein each unique set of r relays is connected by u users....

To prevent endocochlear insertion trauma, the development of drug delivery coatings in the field of CI electrodes has become an increasing focus of research. However, so far, the effect of a polymer coating of PLLA on the mechanical properties, such...

Coded distributed computing (CDC) is a powerful approach to reduce the communication overhead in distributed computing frameworks by utilizing coding techniques. In this paper, we focus on the CDC problem in $(H,L)$-combination networks, where H APs ac...

Background and Clinical Significance: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is widely used to provide long-term enteral nutrition in neurologically impaired children. Although generally safe, inadvertent visceral organ damage during placement may...

Expandable metallic stent placement is often the only way to treat airway obstructions. Such treatment with an uncoated stent causes granulation proliferation and subsequent restenosis, resulting in the procedure’s adverse complications. Systemic adm...
