Semantic-Aware Multiple Access via Spatial Redundancy Exploitation for Uplink-Dominant 6G Use Cases

Emerging uplink-dominant 6G use cases, such as cooperative vehicular streaming, require efficient transmission of high-volume visual data over limited wireless resources. While semantic communications can reduce traffic by prioritizing task-relevant content, most existing approaches treat users independently and therefore overlook spatial redundancy among nearby devices' observations. This paper p...

Gaps in Congenital Heart Disease Care: Social Drivers and Clinical Consequences

BackgroundGaps in care (GIC) among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are associated with adverse outcomes, yet the specific social and healthcare-related factors contributing to GIC and the clinical consequences of delayed re-engagement in care remain poorly characterized. Large electronic medical record datasets often cannot distinguish true GIC from clinically appropriate care pattern...

MR-IQA: A Unified Margin View of Regression and Ranking for Blind Image Quality Assessment
