Artificial intelligence implication on energy sustainability in Internet of Things: A survey     

《Information processing & management》2023,60(2):103212

The massive number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to the Internet is continuously increasing. The operations of these devices rely on consuming huge amounts of energy. Power limitation is a major issue hindering the operation of IoT applications and services. To improve operational visibility, Low-power devices which constitute IoT networks, drive the need for sustainable sources of energy to carry out their tasks for a prolonged period of time. Moreover, the means to ensure energy sustainability and QoS must consider the stochastic nature of the energy supplies and dynamic IoT environments. Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhanced protocols and algorithms are capable of predicting and forecasting demand as well as providing leverage at different stages of energy use to supply. AI will improve the efficiency of energy infrastructure and decrease waste in distributed energy systems, ensuring their long-term viability. In this paper, we conduct a survey to explore enhanced AI-based solutions to achieve energy sustainability in IoT applications. AI is relevant through the integration of various Machine Learning (ML) and Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques in the design of existing protocols. ML mechanisms used in the literature include variously supervised and unsupervised learning methods as well as reinforcement learning (RL) solutions. The survey constitutes a complete guideline for readers who wish to get acquainted with recent development and research advances in AI-based energy sustainability in IoT Networks. The survey also explores the different open issues and challenges.  相似文献   

Sensemaking and crisis revisited: the failure of sensemaking during the Flint water crisis     

William D. Nowling  Matthew W. Seeger 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2020,48(2):270-289

ABSTRACT

This study operationalized Weick’s [(1988). Enacted sensemaking in crisis situations. Journal of Management Studies 25(4), 305–317 and (1993). The collapse of sensemaking in organizations: The Mann Gulch disaster. Administrative Science Quarterly, 38, 628–652] theory of enacted sensemaking to examine the communication processes associated with the Flint Water Crisis of 2014–2015. A content analysis of 389 emails and attachments from a total population of N?=?37,376 pages of publicly released e-mails and documents pertaining to Flint’s water issues, identified examples of failed sensemaking by government officials. These failures hastened and intensified a growing crisis of lead contamination and an outbreak of Legionnaires disease associated with Flint’s municipal water system. Analysis of email messages suggests that strong commitments by top leaders and limited capacity were important factors as were efforts to create and maintain consensus among officials. The Flint Water Crisis offers an important application of sensemaking theory and its utility for both organizational and risk communication scholars and for practical application. The authors emphasize the importance of questioning previous assumptions and commitments, insuring that communication practitioners are involved in decisions, and avoiding over reliance on image repair as a strategic response.  相似文献   

Bayesian reasoning in avalanche terrain: a theoretical investigation     

Philip A. Ebert 《Journal of Adventure Education & Outdoor Learning》2019,19(1):84-95

In this article, I explore a Bayesian approach to avalanche decision-making. I motivate this perspective by highlighting a version of the base-rate fallacy and show that a similar pattern applies to decision-making in avalanche-terrain. I then draw out three theoretical lessons from adopting a Bayesian approach and discuss these lessons critically. Lastly, I highlight a number of challenges for avalanche educators when incorporating the Bayesian perspective in their curriculum.  相似文献   

上海市大学生徒步穿越风险管理研究          下载免费PDF全文

景俊杰  陈泽旭 《体育科研》2019,(2):56-63

在对专家和领队访谈，对大学生徒步穿越活动参与者问卷调查，以及现场观察等调研的基础上，从户外运动风险源出发对上海市大学生徒步穿越风险管理问题进行系统分析，发现：大学生徒步穿越存在不少风险管理漏洞，但简单禁止活动开展反而会导致风险转移和扩散；应该着重从参与者等“人”的风险因素出发防范风险事故发生，以天气变化等部分“环境”风险因素应对进行探险体验，尽快提高指导教师和社团骨干的专业能力；高校应该对网约结伴方式参与徒步穿越活动进行风险警示，并强制性要求社团制定活动风险应急预案等。  相似文献

我国冬季项目跨界跨项选材研究与启示     

郝月蓉 《河北体育学院学报》2020,34(3):42-46

运用文献资料法和逻辑分析法，对冬季项目跨界跨项选材问题进行辩证分析。认为，2022年北京冬奥会、政府专项政策导向及国内外成功的跨界经验，为我国开展冬季项目跨界跨项选材工作提供了重要的机遇和支持，但跨界跨项选材任务艰巨、冬季项目人才缺口大、运动员培养时间不足、跨界跨项风险大等问题也不容忽视。为进一步做好跨界跨项选材工作，为我国冬季项目持续发展提供充足的人力支持，应积极落实国家政策，做到科学跨选；依托同项群项目选材，跨用传统优势项目人才；抓住冬奥发展机遇，尽快建立完善的人才培养体系。  相似文献   

功能性动作筛查的研究进展述评     

张瑞杰  刘传奇  杨光  王军利 《首都体育学院学报》2020,(1):35-39,62

对功能性动作筛查(FMS)的国内外研究进行梳理,理清其发展脉络与研究动态。可以认为:在FMS的有效性、一致性、准确性等方面研究成果较多,但有关各类人群损伤风险临界值的确定、评分标准及与个体运动能力的相关性等研究领域仍处于停滞状态。除部分专业运动员之外,不同职业或年龄人群的评估研究数量仍偏少,而且评价缺乏相应的标准。结论:需要明确不同人群的FMS评价标准,进一步检验其损伤风险评估的临界值,重视不同人群的评价得分与训练反馈信息,为完善与推广FMS提供理论参考。  相似文献   

Assessing Determinants of Perceived Ease of Use of Institutional Repositories by Lecturers in Nigerian Universities     

Alice A. Bamigbola  Airen E. Adetimirin 《International Information and Library Review》2020,52(2):95-107

Abstract

Institutional repositories (IRs) present platform to disseminate research findings to complement the traditional scholarly communication model. The use of IRs is beneficial to authors, host institutions, libraries and society at large. Despite the numerous benefits of IRs, there is low deposit of scholarly works by lecturers and the investment on IRs seems to be a waste. This study examined determinants of perceived ease of use (PEOU) of IRs by lecturers in Nigerian universities. A survey of lecturers received 857 respondents. Awareness, anchor and adjustment factors were found to be determinants of PEOU of Institutional repositories by lecturers in Nigerian Universities.  相似文献   

Does spatial awareness training affect anatomy learning in medical students?     

Rene A. Gonzales  Gordon Ferns  Marc A. T. M. Vorstenbosch  Claire F. Smith 《Anatomical sciences education》2020,13(6):707-720

Spatial ability (SA) is the cognitive capacity to understand and mentally manipulate concepts of objects, remembering relationships among their parts and those of their surroundings. Spatial ability provides a learning advantage in science and may be useful in anatomy and technical skills in health care. This study aimed to assess the relationship between SA and anatomy scores in first- and second-year medical students. The training sessions focused on the analysis of the spatial component of objects' structure and their interaction as applied to medicine; SA was tested using the Visualization of Rotation (ROT) test. The intervention group (n = 29) received training and their pre- and post-training scores for the SA tests were compared to a control group (n = 75). Both groups improved their mean scores in the follow-up SA test (P < 0.010). There was no significant difference in SA scores between the groups for either SA test (P = 0.31, P = 0.90). The SA scores for female students were significantly lower than for male students, both at baseline and follow-up (P < 0.010). Anatomy training and assessment were administered by the anatomy department of the medical school, and examination scores were not significantly different between the two groups post-intervention (P = 0.33). However, participants with scores in the bottom quartile for SA performed worse in the anatomy questions (P < 0.001). Spatial awareness training did not improve SA or anatomy scores; however, SA may identify students who may benefit from additional academic support.  相似文献   

体育侵权:自甘风险还是过失相抵     

李鼎 《武汉体育学院学报》2020,54(5):56-60

自甘风险和过失相抵是体育侵权案件中最常见的抗辩方式。前者将会免除加害人的赔偿责任,而后者只能按比例减少加害人的赔偿责任。虽然法律后果存在巨大差异,但目前对于体育侵权案件适用自甘风险,还是适用过失相抵,没有一个明确的标准,没有建构一套稳定的规则。从美国法的经验来看,通过对自甘风险进行分类来解决自甘风险和过失相抵的竞合问题,并不是一个成功的范例。实际上,自甘风险和过失相抵的主要区别在于受害人能否认知风险的存在。通过运动类型、违规程度、年龄和精神状况、参与的自愿性、专业程度等五个要素的综合考量,法官可以推知当事人的意思,进而从参加体育活动的行为来判断是否构成自甘风险,最终正确适用法律。  相似文献
