A novel technique for automatic hybrid modulation classification in UWA communications using 3D constellation diagrams

Abstract Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication systems operate in severe channel impairments, including strong multipath propagation, long delay spreads, frequency selectivity, Doppler effects, and high ambient noise. These challenges significantly complicate automatic modulati...

Efficacy and Safety of Baxdrostat for Patients With Uncontrolled or Resistant Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat in adults with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to January 2026. We included randomized controlled trials that involved hypertension patients...

Taxonomic delineation of four Zygophyllum simplex L. (Zygophyllaceae) morphotypes using morphoanatomical, molecular (SCoT) and chemotaxonomic evidence

Abstract Background This study presents a comprehensive taxonomic adjustment of Zygophyllum simplex (L.) four constituent varieties in Egypt, integrating morphological, anatomical, palynological, molecular, and phytochemical analyses to evaluate their infraspecific differentiatio...

Percentiles for crying, regurgitation, stool consistency, and CoMiSSTM in presumed healthy infants

Parents frequently consult health care professionals because of infant regurgitation, crying and stool consistency. The Cow’s Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS TM ) is an awareness tool for cow’s milk allergy. We aimed to characterize the distribution of CoMiSS items in presumed...

Multidrug-resistant bacterial contamination of healthcare workers’ mobile phones, decontamination efficacy, and potential implications for hospital-acquired infections

Abstract Mobile phones are indispensable clinical tools for healthcare workers (HCWs), yet remain largely unaddressed within infection prevention and control (IPC) frameworks. Repeated handling during patient care combined with inconsistent disinfection may allow these devices to...

FedCogniBand: cognition-aware predictive bandwidth allocation for communication-limited federated learning

Federated Learning (FL) facilitates collaborative model training among dispersed clients while safeguarding data privacy; yet, its practical implementation is significantly hindered by substantial uplink bandwidth restrictions and notable data heterogeneity. Even though there hav...

Adaptive modulation in 6G terahertz systems via online reinforcement learning–PSO meta-optimization

The rapid evolution of sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems has intensified the need for adaptive modulation strategies capable of operating reliably and efficiently in highly dynamic terahertz (THz) communication environments. Conventional threshold-based and static optimizati...
