Core Challenges for Multi-Robot-Path-Planning Algorithms
The benefits of multi-robot systems are substantial, bringing gains in efficiency, quality, and cost, and they are useful in a wide range of environments from warehouse automation, to agriculture and even extend in part to entertainment. In multi-robot system research, the main focus is on ensuring efficient coordination in the operation of the robots, both in task allocation and navigation. However, much of this research seldom strays from the theoretical bounds; there are many reasons for this, with the most-prominent and -impactful being resource limitations. This is especially true for research in areas such as multi-robot path planning (MRPP) and navigation coordination. This is a large issue in practice as many approaches are not designed with meaningful real-world implications in mind and are not scalable to large multi-robot systems.

Computed Tomography Reconstruction
Computed tomography (CT) is a vital medical imaging technology that revolutionizes healthcare by providing high-resolution images of internal body structures, making it an essential tool in fields like radiology, oncology, and surgery. CT imaging uses X-ray technology to scan a patient. During the CT imaging process, the patient is positioned on a motorized examination table that passes through a CT scanner. The scanner emits narrow X-ray beams, which are measured by detectors on the opposite side of the patient. The data collected are X-ray projections or profiles.

Digital Twins in the Software Industry
Digital twins are a powerful consequence of digital transformation. In fact, they have been applied to many industries to enhance operations, predict needs, improve decision making, or optimize performance, even though the definition of digital twins is still evolving. Digital twins are already influencing and will significantly affect the software industry, revolutionizing various aspects of the software development lifecycle.

Starlink Project
The Starlink Project, referred to by users as Starlink and by developers as simply The Project, was a United Kingdom astronomical computing project which supplied general-purpose data reduction software. Until the late 1990s, it also supplied computing hardware and system administration personnel to UK astronomical institutes. In the former respect, it was analogous to the United States IRAF project. The project was formally started in 1980, though the funding had been agreed, and some work begun, a year earlier. It was closed down when its funding was withdrawn by the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council in 2005. In 2006, the Joint Astronomy Centre released its own updated version of Starlink and took over maintenance; the task was passed again in mid-2015 to the East Asian Observatory. The latest version was released on 2018 July 19. Part of the software is relicensed under the GNU GPL while some of it remain under the original custom licence.

Internet of Things Security Improvement
The growing popularity and extensive use of IoT devices have also introduced new security challenges. IoT devices often lack proper security measures, rendering them vulnerable to attacks. These attacks can range from simple network-based attacks to more sophisticated ones that target the physical devices themselves. The security of the IoT ecosystem is a complex and interdisciplinary domain that combines cybersecurity with various engineering fields, such as mechanical and electrical engineering. It goes beyond protecting data, servers, network infrastructure, and information. It also involves the supervision and management of physical systems connected through the Internet, whether in a centralized or distributed manner.

Key Drivers of 6G Wireless Communication System
Wireless technology revolutionizes communication by enabling the transfer of data, signals, and information without physical cables or wires. It encompasses wireless communication between devices, utilizing radio frequency waves to create wireless networks that facilitate voice calls, text messaging, data transfer, and other forms of communication. Wireless technology has had a profound impact on personal and professional spheres, providing mobility and convenience, and has evolved through various generations, such as 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and the ongoing development of 6G, to deliver faster speeds, increased capacity, and advanced capabilities.

Advances in Non-Invasive Neuromodulation: Closed-Loop Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy that eliminates the need for internal device implantation, presenting as a favorable therapeutic option. This method relies on electrical surface stimulation, bypassing the need for surgical procedures.

EfficientNetV2 and Transfer Learning Applied to Nursing Homes
In the context of population aging, to reduce the run on public medical resources, nursing homes need to predict the health risks of the elderly periodically. However, there is no professional medical testing equipment in nursing homes. In the current disease risk prediction research, many datasets are collected by professional medical equipment. In addition, the currently researched models cannot be run directly on mobile terminals.

Traffic Load Distribution Fairness in Mobile Social Networks
Mobile social networks suffer from an unbalanced traffic load distribution due to the heterogeneity in mobility of nodes (humans) in the network. A few nodes in these networks are highly mobile, and the proposed social-based routing algorithms are likely to choose these most “social” nodes as the best message relays.
