The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a novel and innovative communication technology that aims at the control of the wireless environment. The IRS is considered as a promising technology for sixth-generation wireless communication. In the last...
We used a robotic gantry to test the hypothesis that tandem running in the ant Temnothorax albipennis can be successful in the absence of trail laying by the leader. Pheromone glands were placed on a pin attached to a gantry. This set-up substituted ...

In this article, we consider the remote state estimation for nonlinear dynamic systems with known linear dynamics and unknown nonlinear perturbations. The nonlinear dynamic plant is monitored by multiple distributed sensors over a random access wirel...
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) interventions are increasingly prevalent on social media. These data can be mined for insights about PrEP that may not be as apparent in surveys including personal musings about PrEP and barriers/facilitators to PrEP u...
This article considers the quasisynchronization of memristive neural networks (MNNs) with communication delays via event-triggered impulsive control (ETIC). In view of the limited communication and bandwidth, we adopt a novel switching event-triggere...

The turn of contemporary visual culture has led to the expansion of the connotation and scope of visual communication design (VCD) education, the generation of new artistic concepts and forms, and the great changes in the subject education system. VC...
In this study, a distributed output-feedback design approach for ensuring fault-tolerant initial network connectivity and preselected-time consensus tracking performance is proposed for a class of uncertain time-delay nonlinear multiagent systems (TD...
A prerequisite for social coordination is bidirectional communication between teammates, each playing two roles simultaneously: as receptive listeners and expressive speakers. For robots working with humans in complex situations with multiple goals t...
