Fog computing is paving the way for catering latency stringent applications (e.g., augmented reality and virtual reality) at the customer premises. Fog computing nodes are located between the end user devices and remote cloud. They are lightweight and small-scale storage and processing system deployed closer to the data source, allowing faster processing as well as providing privacy and security of the data. We have been witnessing a growing number of solutions that integrate Passive Optical Network (PON) with the fog computing. Along this research line, there are some solutions considering fog computing nodes are co-located with the Optical Line Terminal (OLT), the central intelligence of a PON system, and Optical Network Unit (ONU), a customer premises equipment. There are some solutions, on the other hand, that propose to embed computing and storage functionality within PON equipment itself. In this paper, we particularly focus on the later approach. Here, we propose an energy conserving solution for a PON system with fog computing enabled ONUs, i.e., the ONUs are equipped with additional computing and Storage Units (CSUs). Our solution aims at minimizing energy consumption of a PON system by keeping only the required number of CSUs active and allowing the ONUs to move into sleep mode (whenever possible) by taking into account task arrival rate and task completion deadline.

We have witnessed the widespread adoption of online teaching and learning platforms in recent years. Teachers employ a variety of learning activities and techniques to follow their students’ learning progress, including summative assessments. However, concerns have been raised about the trustworthiness of summative assessments, such as quizzes and tests. At the same time, online teachers have found other learning activities that are not typically included in predictive machine learning models of online platforms are effective in helping them identify student learning status. This study uses two feature selection techniques, filter and embedded, along with a teacher self-reported questionnaire to evaluate which learning activities influence students’ performance in summative assessments like quizzes. Our findings reveal that features from non-summative learning activities can effectively predict students’ performance in an online environment. Teachers agree on the importance of the identified learning activities’ features in helping them determine their students’ learning status. The study provides practical recommendations for educators, course designers, and policy-makers to optimize online assessment strategies.

The present study addresses the numerical solution of two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems with nonlocal multi-point boundary conditions across three distinct domains: a unit rectangle with a quarter-circle cutout of radius 0.5, an irregular domain, and a Cassini curve. Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on specific segments, while nonlocal boundary conditions are applied to the remaining portions. The Kansa method is employed to solve the steady-state heat conduction equation, utilizing three types of radial basis functions (RBFs) to explore the influence of the shape parameter on accuracy and matrix conditioning. These include the inverse multiquadric RBF, a modified inverse multiquadric RBF proposed here for the first time, and a hybrid RBF [1]. As a meshless method, the Kansa approach eliminates the need for mesh generation or node connectivity within local subdomains. To evaluate accuracy and performance, the $$L_{\infty }$$ error norm is employed. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques in solving the 2D steady-state heat conduction problem. A comparative analysis is conducted to assess the accuracy and computational efficiency of the methods.

Attention is the brain's mechanism for selectively processing specific stimuli while filtering out irrelevant information. Characterizing changes in attention following long-term interventions (such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)) has seldom been emphasized in the literature. To classify attention performance post-tDCS, this study uses functional connectivity and machine learning algorithms. Fifty individuals were split into experimental and control conditions. On Day 1, EEG data was obtained as subjects executed an attention task. From Day 2 through Day 8, the experimental group was administered 1mA tDCS, while the control group received sham tDCS. On Day 10, subjects repeated the task mentioned on Day 1. Functional connectivity metrics were used to classify attention performance using various machine learning methods. Results revealed that combining the Adaboost model and recursive feature elimination yielded a classification accuracy of 91.84%. We discuss the implications of our results in developing neurofeedback frameworks to assess attention.
