Wi-Fi round-trip timing (RTT) was applied to indoor positioning systems based on distance estimation. RTT has a higher reception instability than the received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based fingerprint in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments with many obstacles, resulting in large positioning errors due to multipath fading. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose high-precision RTT-based indoor positioning system using an RTT compensation distance network (RCDN) and a region proposal network (RPN). The proposed method consists of a CNN-based RCDN for improving the prediction accuracy and learning rate of the received distances and a recurrent neural network-based RPN for real-time positioning, implemented in an end-to-end manner. The proposed RCDN collects and corrects a stable and reliable distance prediction value from each RTT transmitter by applying a scanning step to increase the reception rate of the TOF-based RTT with unstable reception. In addition, the user location is derived using the fingerprint-based location determination method through the RPN in which division processing is applied to the distances of the RTT corrected in the RCDN using the characteristics of the fast-sampling period.

Medium-wide-bandgap (MWBG) organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have emerged as a promising category with distinctive application possibilities, especially in environments characterized by specific light conditions, such as indoor spaces. However, there are few high-efficiency MWBG acceptors, and most of them are constructed through high-cost fused central units, which limits the industrialization of MWBG OPV cells. Here, two completely nonfused MWBG acceptors, TBT-38 and TBT-43 with different alkoxy substituent positions on the thiophene rings, are synthesized.

Distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used to enhance the quality and safety of various applications. These networks consist of numerous sensor nodes, often deployed in challenging terrains where maintenance is difficult. Efficient monitoring approaches are essential to maximize the functionality and lifespan of each sensor node, thereby improving the overall performance of the WSN.

This paper examines the critical role of indoor positioning for robots, with a particular focus on small and confined spaces such as homes, warehouses, and similar environments. We develop an algorithm by integrating deep neural networks (DNNs) with the extended Kalman filter (EKF) method, which is known as DNN-EKF, to obtain an accurate indoor localization for ensuring precise and reliable robot movements within the use of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. The study introduces a novel methodology that combines advanced technology, including DNN, filtering techniques, specifically the EKF and UWB technology, with the objective of enhancing the accuracy of indoor localization systems.

Indoor positioning based on Wi-Fi signals has gained a lot of attention lately. There are many advantages related to the use of Wi-Fi signals for positioning, including the availability of Wi-Fi access points in indoor environments and the integration of Wi-Fi transceivers into consumer devices. However, since Wi-Fi uses an unlicensed spectrum, anyone can create their own access points.

Background: Children under five continue to bear a disproportionate burden of malaria morbidity and mortality in endemic countries. While the link between socioeconomic position (SEP) and malaria is well established, the causal pathways remain poorly understood, hindering the design and implementation of more targeted structural interventions. This study examines the association between SEP and malaria among children in Ghana and explores the potential mediating role of behavioural and socio-structural factors.
