Comprehensive Background on Tiny Machine Learning
Internet of Things (IoT) systems frequently generate vast quantities of data, posing substantial management and analysis challenges. Researchers have introduced several frameworks and architectures to address these challenges in IoT Big Data management and knowledge extraction. One such proposal is the Cognitive-Oriented IoT Big Data Framework (COIB Framework), as outlined in Mishra’s works. This framework encompasses an implementation architecture, layers for IoT Big Data, and a structure for organizing data. An alternative method involves employing a Big-Data-enhanced system, adhering to a data lake architecture. Key features of this system include a multi-threaded parallel approach for data ingestion, strategies for storing both raw and processed IoT data, a distributed cache layer, and a unified SQL-based interface for exploring IoT data. Furthermore, blockchain technologies have been investigated for their potential to maintain continuous integrity in IoT Big Data management. This involves five integrity protocols implemented across three stages of IoT operations.

Deceptive Dark-Pattern Web Advertisements
Advertisements have become commonplace on modern websites. While ads are typically designed for visual consumption, it is unclear how they affect blind users who interact with the ads using a screen reader. Existing research studies on non-visual web interaction predominantly focus on general web browsing; the specific impact of extraneous ad content on blind users’ experience remains largely unexplored.

Action Recognition for Human–Robot Teaming
Human–robot teaming (HrT) is being adopted in an increasing range of industries and work environments. Effective HrT relies on the success of complex and dynamic human–robot interaction. Although it may be optimal for robots to possess all the social and emotional skills to function as productive team members, certain cognitive capabilities can enable them to develop attitude-based competencies for optimizing teams. Despite the extensive research into the human–human team structure, the domain of HrT research remains relatively limited. In this sense, incorporating established human–human teaming (HhT) elements may prove practical.

Underwater 5G-Based Networks
The term “Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT)” refers to a network of intelligent interconnected underwater devices designed to monitor various underwater activities. The IoUT allows for a network of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to communicate with each other, sense their surroundings, collect data, and transmit them to control centers on the surface at typical Internet speeds. These data serve as a valuable resource for various tasks, including conducting crash surveys, discovering shipwrecks, detecting early signs of tsunamis, monitoring animal health, obtaining real-time aquatic information, and conducting archaeological expeditions.

Management Information Systems for Tree Fruit
A farm management information system (MIS) entails record keeping based on a database management system, typically using a client-server architecture, i.e., an information system, IS, coupled with a variety of tools/methods/models for the support of operational management. A MIS developed for orchard management can be expected to address major tasks in commercial orchard operation, such as the management of irrigation, pests (weeds, insects and disease), plant nutrition, manipulation of tree physiology and structure, e.g., through pruning and phytohormone applications, and harvest, e.g., planning harvest labour, packing and marketing needs.

Game Theory-Based Incentive Design in Blockchain Networks
Blockchain technology has permeated various sectors and has been lauded for its potential to instill immutability, transparency, and decentralization in systems, thereby revolutionizing traditional systems. At the core of these decentralized networks, nodes are imperative for executing and validating transactions, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the blockchain. Within this ecosystem, nodes, particularly those executing transactions encompassing native currency transfers and function executions, are pivotal yet often lack adequate incentives, in contrast to mining nodes.

Zero-Trust Marine Cyberdefense for IoT-Based Communications
Integrating Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) into marine cyberdefense systems can address the lack of trustworthiness and low interpretability inherent in complex black-box Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) models. XAI has emerged as a pivotal focus in achieving a zero-trust cybersecurity strategy within marine communication networks.

Water Molecules and Electroconvection on Salt Ion Transport
Electrodialysis has gained global recognition as a water purification method with the potential to enhance the overall efficiency of the purification process. The efficiency of electrodialysis depends strongly on the hydrodynamics of the process, as the advent of new high performance membranes on the world market removes the kinetic limitations associated with membranes and shifts the stage that determines the economic efficiency of desalination towards the liquid phase.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Issues in Glioma Imaging
Glial tumors represent the leading etiology of primary brain tumors. Their particularities lie in (i) their location in a highly functional organ that is difficult to access surgically, including for biopsy, and (ii) their rapid, anisotropic mode of extension, notably via the fiber bundles of the white matter, which further limits the possibilities of resection. The use of mathematical tools enables the development of numerical models representative of the oncotype, genotype, evolution, and therapeutic response of lesions.

Plant-Parasitic Nematode
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN), especially sedentary endoparasitic nematodes like root-knot nematodes (RKN), pose a significant threat to major crops and vegetables. They are responsible for causing substantial yield losses, leading to economic consequences, and impacting the global food supply. The identification of PPNs and the assessment of their population is a tedious and time-consuming task.
