In this paper, a two-timescale radio access network (RAN) slicing and computing task offloading problem is investigated for cloud-enabled autonomous vehicular (C-AVN). We aim at jointly maximizing the communication resource utilization with diverse quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee driving tasks. Specifically, to capture small-timescale dynamics, scheduling formulated as stochastic optimizatio...

third-degree perineal lacerations in 7 mares were repaired surgically by a one-stage method (goetz technique). primary healing occurred in all of them without any complication. the conception rate obtained after surgery was 70.1%. five horses out of seven got pregnant after surgery and no further injury was seen at subsequent foaling. three mares have produced several healthy foals without any ...

This paper aims to develop a paradigm that models the learning behavior of intelligent agents (including but not limited autonomous vehicles, connected and automated or human-driven vehicles with navigation systems where human drivers follow instructions completely) utility-optimizing goal system's equilibrating processes in routing game among atomic selfish agents. Such can assist policymakers...

vital decisions made at the strategic level in an organization are not only intricate but also costly to alter. it is therefore important to find a comprehensive approach to deal with such a possibility. one of the major problems of a common balanced scorecard (bsc)-based model in strategic management is lack of a ranking system for strategic objectives in order to enable prioritization of the ...

labor pain is a cause of stress and suffering; for which many women seek methods to relieve this pain. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of relaxation techniques on pain relief during labor. this study was carried out on 62 pregnant women referred to fatemieh hospital (hamadan, iran) during their labor. they were selected using convenience sampling and were divided randomly in t...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are regarded as an emerging technology, which can be effectively utilized to perform the data collection tasks in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. However, both UAVs and sensors these networks energy-limited devices, necessitates energy-efficient procedure ensure network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a multi-UAV-assisted network, where fly ground control ...
