Efficient Encoding And Decoding Block Turbo Codes
Abstract: A channel coding approach is performed to lower the noise and interference that erupted in the communication channel. There are indeed a myriad of alternative channel coding schemes that have been developed. Block and convolutional codes are the most prevalent. Turbo code is a new near-channel capacity error-correcting code that has been introduced recently. The information can be transmitted across the channel with a very low bit error rate using …

Assessment of Deflection for Deck Slab Bridge
Abstract: The deflection of deck slab is found with respect to bending stress and normal stress and compared with its permissible value. Span of the deck slab plays an important role in deflection. As span increases more bending takes place hence we get more deflection against bending stress. Also normal stress increases due to increase in span since more load is involved. Width of deck slab is kept constant and span …

RoseRAG-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Precision Medication Safety
Abstract: Medication-related errors remain a major challenge in healthcare, contributing to adverse drug events, increased hospitalization rates, and substantial healthcare costs. Conventional Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) primarily rely on rule-based mechanisms for identifying drug-related problems (DRPs), including drug–drug interactions, contraindications, dosing errors, therapeutic duplication, and medication omissions. Although effective in structured environments, these systems frequently generate excessive context-insensitive alerts, leading to alert fatigue and reduced clinical acceptance. Recent developments in …

AI-Based Software-Defined Satellite in Decision Making: A Study
Abstract: For decades, satellites have been a vital infrastructure, relaying communication signals, observing Earth's climate, and providing critical navigation data. However, the traditional model of satellite operation is often rigid and reactive, relying heavily on pre-programmed instructions and ground-based control. This limits their flexibility and responsiveness in a rapidly changing environment. Enter software-defined satellites (SDS), and now, the game-changer: artificial intelligence (AI). Imagine a satellite that can independently analyze its surroundings, …

A Sustainable EOQ Model for Declining Products Incorporating Cubic Demand, Variable Deterioration, Partial Backlogging, and Carbon Emission Optimization
Abstract: In this paper proposes a sustainable Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for inventory systems involving decaying items under cubic time-dependent demand, variable decaying rates, and partial backlogging while absolutely considering carbon emission costs. The model reflects practical market actions where demand initially increases and afterwards declines over time, and decay depends on the age of the item. To demonstrate the current model's applicability as well as evaluate the trade-off between …

Decomposition of Dynamic Graphs in Memory Saving with Effective Programming
Abstract: This study proposes a simple and effective heuristic to save memory in effective programming on tree decompositions when solving a graph optimization problem. The introduced “anchor technique” is based on a tree-like set covering problem. We substantiated our findings by experimental results. Our strategy has negligible computational overhead concerning running time but achieves memory savings for nice tree decompositions and path decompositions between 60% and 98%.
