Bats face many sources of acoustic interference in their natural environments, including other bats and potential prey items that affect their ability to interpret the returning echoes of their biosonar signals. To be able to navigate and forage successfully, bats must be able to counteract this interference and one of the ways they achieve this is by altering the various parameters of their echolocation. We describe these changes in signal design within the context of a modified definition of the jamming avoidance response originally applied to the signal changes of weakly electric fish. Both of these groups use active sensory systems that exhibit similarities in function but we take this opportunity to highlight major differences each groups' response to signal interference. These discrepancies form the basis of our need for an expanded description of the jamming avoidance response in echolocating bats.

Soft colloids are widely used to study glass transition, aging and jamming. A high size polydispersity is typically introduced in these systems to avoid crystal formation. Here, we use binary mixtures of hollow and regular microgels with comparable sizes to inhibit crystallization.

Increased interest in the development and integration of navigation and positioning services into a wide range of receivers makes them susceptible to a variety of security attacks such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) jamming and spoofing attacks. The availability of low-cost devices including software-defined radios (SDRs) provides a wide accessibility of affordable platforms that can be used to perform these attacks. Early detection of jamming and spoofing interferences is essential for mitigation and avoidance of service degradation.

This article addresses the distributed formation control issue of cooperative unmanned surface vessels (USVs) under interleaved periodic event-triggered communications. First, an adaptive event-based control protocol is designed, where the event-based neural network (NN) scheme is developed to compensate for uncertain model dynamics. Upon the designed control protocol, an interleaved periodic event-triggered mechanism (IPETM) is subsequently proposed to achieve the communication objective.

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have become popular over tunneled catheters in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) due to their ease of use and convenience. Although rare, a PICC fracture can be a severe and potentially fatal complication. This narrative review aims to identify factors predisposing neonates to PICC fracture and related complications, such as catheter jamming, and explore strategies for preventing and detecting this complication.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), integral components underpinning the infrastructure of the internet of things (IoT), confront escalating threats originating from attempts at malicious jamming. Nevertheless, the limited nature of the hardware resources in distributed, low-cost WSNs, such as those for computing power and storage, poses a challenge when implementing complex and intelligent anti-jamming algorithms like deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Hence, in this paper a rapid anti-jamming method is proposed based on imitation learning in order to address this issue.
