Data and channel-aware device selection for split learning in resource-constrained B5G/6 G networks

Abstract Split learning (SL) is a promising distributed learning approach for fifth-generation/sixth-generation (B5G/6 G) networks. However, its performance is affected by bandwidth constraints and statistical heterogeneity in the data. Prior works have considered either channel-...

Landscape history matters: decoupled responses of plant taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity to intensive agriculture impacts in Cerrado

Loss of woody plants due to intensive agricultural expansion is particularly critical because of their role in ecosystem functions and services, as well as in ecosystem resilience. Therefore, understanding the effects of landscape changes on multiple dimensions of biodiversity (i...

Pilot-scale optimization of atmospheric acid leaching for enhanced nickel and cobalt recovery from laterite ore

Nickel and cobalt are critical metals predominantly extracted from laterites. However, deposits with high iron content (>15%) and SiO2/CaO + MgO ratios (∼1.8) limit the applicability of conventional pyrometallurgical routes. In this scenario, hydrometallurgical processes, particu...
