With the advantages of real-time data processing and flexible deployment, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing systems are widely used in both civil and military fields. However, due to limited energy, it is usually difficult for UAVs to stay in the air for long periods and to perform computational tasks. In this paper, we propose a full-duplex air-to-air communication system (A2ACS) model combining mobile edge computing and wireless power transfer technologies, aiming to effectively reduce the computational latency and energy consumption of UAVs, while ensuring that the UAVs do not interrupt the mission or leave the work area due to insufficient energy.

As mining continues to increase in depth, the problem of pre-oxidation coal (POC) spontaneous combustion (PCSC) in deep mines is coming to the fore. The effects of thermal ambient temperature and pre-oxidation temperature (POT) on the thermal mass loss (TG) and heat release (DSC) characteristics of POC were studied. The results show that the oxidation reaction process is found to be similar among the coal samples.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) as the primary components of cancer stroma can affect tumor progression by secreting exosomes, while exosomes are carriers for proteins, nucleic acids, and other agents that responsible for delivery of biological information. Given this, exosomes derived from CAFs are emerging as promising biomarkers in clinical cancer diagnosis.
