Neurovascular coupling (NVC) provides important insights into the intricate activity of brain functioning and may aid in the early diagnosis of brain diseases.Emerging evidences have shown that NVC could be assessed by the coupling between electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).However, this endeavor presents
Preliminary Evaluation of an Advanced Ventilation-Control Algorithm to Optimise Microclimate in a Commercial Broiler House
This study aims to improve the microclimate conditions in a mechanically ventilated broiler house by proposing and evaluating a ventilation-control algorithm based on heat-energy balance analysis.The new algorithm is designed to optimise the ventilation-rate requirement and thereby improve control of the indoor temperature.The analysis of one year
In pursuit of the demographic dividend: the return of economic justifications for family planning in Africa
This article examines the resurgence of economic justifications for investment in family planning in Africa.In the Cold War period, population control programmes were at the forefront of the Northern development agenda for the Global South; rapid population growth was cast as the enemy of national economic advancement and modernisation.At the Unite
A novel approach for detecting malicious hosts based on RE-GCN in intranet
Abstract Internal network attacks pose a serious security threat to enterprises and organizations, potentially leading to critical information leaks and network system damage.Hosts, as the core data and service bearers, are often primary targets of cyber attacks.Therefore, accurately identifying hosts with malicious behavior in the network is cruci
