Enhanced Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks Using a Bat-Optimized Malicious Anchor Node Prediction Algorithm.

The accuracy of node localization plays a crucial role in the performance and reliability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which are widely utilized in fields like security systems and environmental monitoring. The integrity of these networks is often threatened by the presence of malicious nodes that can disrupt the localization process, leading to erroneous positioning and degraded network functionality. To address this challenge, we propose the security-aware localization using bat-optimized malicious anchor prediction (BO-MAP) algorithm.

The characterization of new de novo CACNA1G variants affecting the intracellular gate of Cav3.1 channel broadens the spectrum of neurodevelopmental phenotypes in SCA42ND.

Purpose: Missense de novo variants in CACNA1G, which encodes the Cav3.1 T-type calcium channel, have been associated with a severe, early-onset form of cerebellar disorder with neurodevelopmental deficits (SCA42ND). We explored a large series of pediatric cases carrying heterozygous variants in CACNA1G to further characterize genotype-phenotype correlations in SCA42ND.

"You said burnout? Whew, chile!" A multigenerational collaborative autoethnography on the complexities of burnout and care among Black women researching substance use.

Background: Researchers and participants who are members of minoritized populations experience negative psychosocial and wellness outcomes like burnout. Burnout may manifest uniquely for Black women in academia conducting research with Black women participants navigating similar sociocultural contexts.

Objectives: This article qualitatively interprets our experiences as 15 Black women scholar-practitioners at a midwestern university conducting community-engaged research.

School-based indicated prevention interventions for anxiety in children and adolescents: A commentary on a systematic review.

Mental health problems such as anxiety are on the increase in children and adolescents. However, rising demand and cuts to mental health services make it difficult for young people to access the support they need. School-based interventions aimed at preventing or reducing anxiety have the potential to provide help to large numbers of children and adolescents.
