Federated learning is a type of distributed machine learning in which models learn by using large-scale decentralized data between servers and devices. In a short-range wireless communication environment, it can be difficult to apply federated learning because the number of devices in one access point (AP) is small, which can be small enough to perform federated learning. Therefore, it means that the minimum number of devices required to perform federated learning cannot be matched by the devices included in one AP environment.

In this study, a new eco-friendly oleamide-PDMS copolymer (OPC) is proposed for sustainable anti-biofouling and effective drag reduction.

Ascidians (sea squirts) produce an organic exoskeleton, known as a tunic, which has been studied quite extensively in several species. However, currently, there are still gaps in our knowledge about the detailed structure and composition of this cellulosic biocomposite.

Yet while one of the critical factors for complex coacervation is temperature, little analysis and research has been devoted to the temperature effect on complex coacervation. Here, we performed a complex coacervation of cationic protamine and multivalent anions (citrate and tripolyphosphate (TPP)).

This study determined whether patients without abnormalities in the initial evaluation benefit from transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and the clinical factors predicting an abnormal TTE.
Methods: This study enrolled 241 patients presenting to the emergency department with syncope.
