Parked vehicle edge computing (PVEC) utilizes both idle resources in parked vehicles (PVs) and roadside units (RSUs) as service providers (SPs) to improve the performance of vehicular internet of things (IoT). However, it is difficult to make optimal service migration decisions in PVEC networks due to the uncertain parking duration and resources heterogeneity of PVs. In this paper, we formulate the service migration of all the vehicles as an optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the average latency. We propose a two-stage service migration algorithm for PVEC networks, which divides the original problem into the service migration between SPs and the serving PV selection in parking lots. The service migration between SPs is transformed to an online problem based on Lyapunov optimization, where the expected parking duration of PVs is utilized. A modified Hungarian algorithm is proposed to select the PVs for migration. A series of simulation experiments based on the real-world vehicle traces are conducted to verify the superior performance of the proposed two-stage service migration (SEA) algorithm as compared with the state-of- art solutions.

The digastric muscle is a suprahyoid muscle that is composed of an anterior belly and a posterior belly, which originate from the first and second pharyngeal arches, respectively, and they are innervated by the nerves of these arches. The digastric muscles are involved in the elevation of the hyoid bone and depression of the mandible during mastication, speech, and swallowing. In this report, we present the rare case of bilateral accessory anterior belly of the digastric muscles (ABDMs) that originated from the digastric fossa, medial to the anterior bellies.

Background and objectives The persistent nature of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is mainly attributable to compromised wound healing mechanisms, which are aggravated due to poor blood flow, neuropathy, and infection. Growth factors have become essential agents in the treatment of DFUs, serving as primary mediators that enhance wound healing through the stimulation of cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. This prospective open-label, randomised, comparative, multi-centre, investigator-initiated study compared the safety and effectiveness of adjuvant therapy with topical application of autologous growth factor concentrate (AGFC) using the Healrex therapy kit (Wockhardt, India) versus standard of care (SoC) in DFUs.

The use of the snare catheter (SC) technique has been described in the field of interventional cardiology, in particular in the retrieval of a lost device, for example, a dislodged coronary stent, broken coronary wire, and so forth. In the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure, some cases have been observed where the anatomy is challenging or there are scenarios where some complications occur during the procedure, which make it necessary to use some tools to achieve the success of the procedure. The SC has shown are very useful either to achieve the ascent of the valve to the annular plane in complex anatomies or as a rescue measure in the event of complications that may arise after valve implantation.

The Zn metal anode in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) faces daunting challenges including undesired water-induced parasitic reactions and sluggish ion migration kinetics. Herein, we develop three-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) membranes with bioinspired ion channels toward stabilized Zn anodes. These COFs, featured by zincophilic pyridine-N sites, enable effective regulation of water molecules at the anode-electrolyte interphase.

The mental health of asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs) is a pressing global concern, with complex trauma histories and environmental stressors contributing to heightened vulnerability. This study investigates the mental health and service utilization patterns of ASRs in Hong Kong, where unique policy landscapes pose additional challenges to this population. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 100 ASRs in Hong Kong.
