MAARS: Multiagent Actor–Critic Approach for Resource Allocation and Network Slicing in Multiaccess Edge Computing
Authors: Lim Ducsun , Joe Inwhee
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a novel algorithm to address resource allocation and network-slicing challenges in multiaccess edge computing (MEC) networks. Network slicing divides a physical network into virtual slices, each tailored to efficiently allocate resources and meet diverse service requirements. To maximize the completion rate of user-computing tasks within these slices, the problem is decomposed into two subproblems: efficient core-to-edge slicing (ECS) and autonomous resource slicing (ARS). ECS facilitates collaborative resource distribution through cooperation among edge servers, while ARS dynamically manages resources based on real-time network conditions. The proposed solution, a multiagent actor–critic resource scheduling (MAARS) algorithm, employs a reinforcement learning framework. Specifically, MAARS utilizes a multiagent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) for efficient resource distribution in ECS and a soft actor–critic (SAC) technique for robust real-time resource management in ARS. Simulation results demonstrate that MAARS outperforms benchmark algorithms, including heuristic-based, DQN-based, and A2C-based methods, in terms of task completion rates, resource utilization, and convergence speed. Thus, this study offers a scalable and efficient framework for resource optimization and network slicing in MEC networks, providing practical benefits for real-world deployments and setting a new performance benchmark in dynamic environments.

Published: December 2024

The stability of slopes is a critical challenge in various civil engineering projects, such as embankments, cut-slopes, landfills, dams, transportation infrastructure, and riverbank restoration. Stabilizing slopes using bioengineering methods is a sustainable approach that limits the negative impact of engineering works; such methods should be implemented and adopted worldwide. Geosynthetic materials and plant roots are sustainable for preventing erosion and surface landslides. The plants used for this paper are known to have beneficial effects on erosion control, namely Festuca arundinaceous, Dactylis glomerata, Phleum pratensis, Trifolium pratense, and Trifolium repens. Using vegetation as a bio-reinforcement method is often more cost effective and environmentally friendly than traditional engineering solutions, making a more sustainable engineering solution for shallow slope stabilization applications. The paper presents the erosion process that occurred on sandy slopes protected by organic soil layers and geosynthetic materials under rainfall simulation in scaled model tests.

Published: December 2024

Onshore oil spills are directly related to soil contamination and significantly impact groundwater, vegetation, and human life. Immediate cleanup work is carried out when an oil spill occurs, but the currently used preventive measures are insufficient. Therefore, this study independently developed a smart liner that allows general groundwater flow but blocks groundwater in the event of a spill to prevent further spread, and aims to verify the excellence of the product through verification. Because the verification of the smart liner performance in real-life conditions is difficult for various reasons, large-scale experiments were simulated using a container. The Roll Spreading and Inserting Method (RSIM) and Panel Injecting Method (PIM) were used as installation methods due to the properties of the material employed. Through rainfall simulations, the discharge amount and groundwater levels before and after an oil spill were measured, and a reaction diagram was created following the smart liner’s demolition. From the results, it was found that both installation methods successfully blocked more than 99% of the drainage, and soil contaminants were not detected outside the installation area. These results confirm the effectiveness of the smart liner. Additionally, the reaction diagram indicated that the RSIM and PIM installation reaction areas were identical, validating the suitability of both methods. By conducting this study, the performance of the smart liner was verified, demonstrating its potential as an effective preventive measure against the spread of oil contamination in soil.

Published: December 2024

Satellite data have emerged as a widely used tool for global research. In particular, satellite data aid in overcoming long-term observational challenges caused by seasonal effects, facilitating comprehensive monitoring of large regions and simplifying infrastructure maintenance. However, in Korea, the application of satellite SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data within the construction sector remains relatively limited. This study used satellite SAR data to analyze the effects of infrastructure (underground roads and subway systems) currently under construction in Korea on the surrounding ground surface, in order to identify risk zones. This study explored methods for continuously monitoring extensive areas over long distances and selecting potential risk zones. The results indicated substantial ground displacements at specific locations and seasonal changes. Furthermore, past and current satellite SAR data were overlapped to facilitate a time-series analysis. The results confirmed that satellite SAR can improve the monitoring of construction projects in Korea and provide valuable information that can contribute to enhancing maintenance efforts, including near-future ground displacement data. The results are expected to help citizens maintain a safe and sustainable life in urban areas.

Published: December 2024

The transition to renewable and sustainable energy sources is critical to solving the environmental and socioeconomic problems associated with the use of fossil fuels. This study uses an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the challenges and prospects of a sustainable energy transition in contexts with the recent discovery and exploitation of fossil resources. We study the case of Senegal from 2000 to 2027 and the role of recent discoveries of natural gas in its energy transition. In 2000, Senegal’s energy mix consisted of about 97% fossil energy and only 3% renewable energy. Since then, the country has developed renewable energy sources, including solar, hydro, and wind power, which currently account for about 30% of the total energy mix. At the same time, Senegal’s population and electricity production have grown significantly, leading to a fivefold increase in per capita energy consumption over the past two decades. Projections based on a long short-term memory model that predicts future electricity demand and energy balance suggest a structural shift in the energy mix, with natural gas, oil, and renewables at 47%, 32%, and 21%, respectively, by 2027. Overall, this study presents a comprehensive analysis that highlights the benefits of strategically using natural gas as a transition energy source in contexts with increased electricity demand and continued development of renewable energy sources.

Published: December 2024

Forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation, offering ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, and water resource management. As global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensify, the demand for accurate spatial information to monitor forest conditions and assess carbon absorption capacity has grown. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has emerged as a transformative tool, providing high-resolution 3D spatial data for detailed analysis of forest attributes, including tree height, canopy structure, and biomass distribution. Unlike traditional manpower-intensive forest surveys, which are time-consuming and often limited in accuracy, LiDAR offers a more efficient and reliable solution. This study evaluates the accuracy and applicability of advanced LiDAR technologies—drone-mounted, terrestrial, and mobile scanners—for generating 3D forest spatial data. The results show that the terrestrial LiDAR achieved the highest precision for diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height measurements, with RMSE values of 0.66 cm and 0.91 m, respectively. Drone-mounted LiDAR demonstrated excellent efficiency for large-scale surveys, while mobile LiDAR offered portability and speed but required further improvement in accuracy (e.g., RMSE: DBH 0.76 cm, tree height 1.83 m). By comparing these technologies, this study identifies their strengths, limitations, and optimal application scenarios, contributing to more accurate forest management practices and carbon absorption assessments.

Published: December 2024

Social-Ecological Systems (SESs) are systems with close linkage between nature and societies. Coastal lagoons are SESs crucial for the ecosystem services (ESs) provided, especially in the Mediterranean Basin, facing threats from anthropogenic activities and climate change. Management strategies focusing solely on ecological elements’ improvement have not yielded the desired outcomes, as they often neglect the needs and perspectives of stakeholders. Participatory approaches promote engagement and awareness to develop sustainable and effective management strategies. Aiming to contribute to the preservation and sustainable management of the Nestos Delta coastal lagoons, a Natura 2000 site in Greece, this study explores the application of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) to capture the inherent uncertainty in stakeholder opinions against complex environmental challenges. Through this participatory approach, stakeholder perspectives were assessed and quantified to rank management alternatives. Ecological health and economic values were prioritized, endorsing the adoption of natural and soft interventions; conflicts and a knowledge gap regarding non-provisioning ESs were revealed, highlighting the necessity of inclusive consultation processes. This approach offers the potential to facilitate consensus-building and enhance the legitimacy of coastal lagoon management decisions.

Published: December 2024

The security of water resources in the desert steppe ecosystem faces threats due to large-scale vegetation restoration. Dynamic changes in soil moisture result from the interplay of precipitation replenishment and evapotranspiration depletion, both directly regulated by vegetation and soil. To achieve sustainable vegetation restoration, understanding the quantifiable impacts of precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil, and vegetation on spatiotemporal soil moisture dynamics is crucial. However, these effects remain insufficiently understood. In this study, against the background of an extreme drought from 2020 to 2022, four typical herbaceous plant communities—Agropyron mongolicum, Sophora alopecuroides, Stipa breviflora, and Achnatherum splendens—were selected for investigation in Yanchi County, Ningxia Province, Northwest China. We analyzed dynamic changes in soil moisture at 0–120 cm during depletion, recovery, and stability periods, quantifying the relative contributions of precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil clay/sand ratio (C/S), and biomass to soil moisture dynamics. The results showed that the 0–120 cm soil moisture of the four plant communities in the depletion, recovery, and stability periods decreased from 7.38% to 6.81%, 11.22% to 8.08%, and 11.70% to 5.84%, respectively. In terms of relative importance, precipitation and evapotranspiration accounted for 25% to 50% and 23.6% to 39.6% of the total explanation for the soil moisture in each plant community, respectively. C/S primarily influenced soil moisture in the S. alopecuroides community, demonstrating a significant positive correlation with soil moisture and accounting for 49.1% of the total explanation. Biomass mainly affected soil moisture in the A. mongolicum, S. breviflora, and A. splendens communities and had a significant negative correlation with soil moisture, accounting for 5.7%, 13.1%, and 9.8% of the total interpretation, respectively. The continuous extreme drought caused the soil moisture deficit to extend from the shallow to the deep layers. The effects of C/S and biomass on soil moisture occurred in leguminous and gramineous communities, respectively.

Authors: Zeidan Mohamad , Németh Márton , Abhijith Gopinathan R. , Wéber Richárd , Ostfeld Avi
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the transient flow dynamics and pressure interactions within Tesla valve configurations through comprehensive CFD simulations. Tesla valves offer efficient passive fluid control without the need for external power, making them favorable in various applications. Previous observations indicated that Tesla valves effectively reduce the amplitude of pressure transients, prolonging their duration and distributing energy over an extended timeframe. While suggesting a potential role for Tesla valves as pressure dampers during transient events, the specific mechanisms behind this behavior remain unexplored. This research focuses on elucidating the internal dynamics of Tesla valves during transient events, aiming to unravel the processes responsible for the observed attenuation in pressure transients. This study reveals the emergence of “pressure pockets” within Tesla valves, deviating from conventional uniform pressure fronts. These pockets manifest as discrete chambers with varying lengths and volumes, contributing to the non-uniform propagation of pressure throughout the system. This investigation employs advanced CFD simulations as a crucial tool to unravel the governing dynamics of transient flow within Tesla valve configurations. By elucidating underlying fluid dynamics, this study lays the groundwork for future Tesla valve design optimization, holding potential implications for applications where the control of transient flow events is crucial.
The Sea of Azov’s Hydrodynamic Response to Different Atmospheric Forcing Resolutions
Authors: Korshenko Evgeniya , Panasenkova Irina , Fomin Vladimir
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of the simulated meteorological and hydrodynamic characteristics of the Sea of Azov using the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model and INMOM (Institute of Numerical Mathematics Ocean Model). The goal is to investigate the sea’s response to atmospheric forcing using two different horizontal resolutions. A comparison of the atmospheric simulation results with available meteorological in situ data from the land-based hydrometeorological stations (HMSs) did not reveal any significant differences between the simulations with different atmospheric forcing resolutions. A spatiotemporal analysis of the WRF model and INMOM results showed the most prominent differences along the entire coastal zone, especially in Taganrog Bay, along the spits in the north part of the sea, and in the Kerch Strait. Here, the wind speed obtained at a high spatial resolution (3.3 km) was ~10–15% higher than that obtained at a coarse resolution (10 km), and the surface and bottom currents were up to ~40% and ~15% higher. In marine coastal zones, the greatest differences were noted in a band of ~5 km, and differences in the rest of the Sea of Azov were negligible. An analysis of the bottom current speed revealed the presence of a counter-current flowing into Taganrog Bay. This shows the necessity of using three-dimensional marine circulation models to study the Sea of Azov’s dynamics.

Published: December 2024

We present the results of our expeditionary studies of the water structure on a section across the Guiana basin in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean in January 2022. The section corresponds to almost the shortest distance between South America’s continental slope and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. We identified various water masses corresponding to the study area, determined their physical and chemical properties, and located their boundaries regarding the position of their properties’ maximal vertical gradients. Particular attention was paid to the components of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). On the section, we identified four NADW components: upper NADW with salinity maximum and minimum in silicate, two middle NADWs determined by different extremes in dissolved oxygen, and lower NADW with maximum oxygen and minimum phosphate. The lower boundary of NADW corresponds approximately to the isotherm θ = 1.6–1.8 °C. The proportion of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) was calculated for the bottom layer; its maximal amount was about 40% on the section.

Published: December 2024

The water quality of centralized drinking water sources (CDWSs) in the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) has received widespread public attention. Regrettably, due to the lack of large-scale and high-frequency monitoring data, the trends, sources, and risks of heavy metals (HMs) in the water of CDWSs in the YRB are still unclear. In addition, the correlation between HMs and water quality parameters in natural water has not been established, which greatly affects the efficiency of water management. Herein, we collected data for eight HMs and twelve water quality physical–chemical parameters from 114 CDWSs in 71 prefecture-level cities in the YRB region. An unprecedented spatial distribution map of HMs in the YRB region was drawn, and the response of HMs to water quality and nutrient levels was studied. Overall, the level of HM pollution was low, but the threat of chloride, nitrogen, and phosphorus still exists. The detection rates of the eight HMs ranged from 60.00% (Ti) to 99.82% (Fe), and the mean concentrations were ranked as follows: Fe (36.576 ± 36.784 μg/L) > Mn (7.362 ± 7.347 μg/L) > Ti (3.832 ± 6.344 μg/L) > Co (2.283 ± 3.423 μg/L) > Se (0.247 ± 0.116 μg/L) > Cd (0.089 ± 0.286 μg/L) > Be (0.054 ± 0.067 μg/L) > Tl (0.015 ± 0.012 μg/L). In the large geographic area, the total concentrations of the eight HMs exhibited a fluctuating decay trend over time from 2018 to 2022. Geographically, industrial and agricultural production and geological coupling factors led to significant spatial heterogeneity in HM concentrations in the following order: midstream > downstream > upstream. Importantly, this study proved that Cl−, SO42−, nitrogen, and phosphorus may drive the absorption and transfer of HMs in natural water. Fortunately, exposure to the eight HMs does not cause adverse health effects in humans.

This research explores the connections between Body Mass Index (BMI) and cardiovascular health across different age and gender groups. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 180 non-athlete participants, ranging from 18 to 70 years old. The findings indicate a significant correlation between BMI and heart rate, as well as blood pressure. The study aims to provide insights into these relationships by examining data from diverse age and gender cohorts. The results show that individuals with a healthy BMI (22.9 ± 2.7) tend to have favorable cardiovascular measures, highlighting the importance of BMI. In contrast, overweight (26.9 ± 2.66) and obese (32.3 ± 3.24) individuals exhibit distinct variations, with higher heart rates and blood pressures. Visual representations illustrate the trends across BMI categories. Statistical analysis reveals a moderate positive correlation between BMI and cardiovascular parameters, including heart rate (0.576), systolic blood pressure (0.563), and diastolic blood pressure (0.602). Multiple regression analysis indicates a strong fit (R = 0.663), with BMI explaining 44% of the variability in cardiovascular parameters. The model is statistically significant (F = 45.52) and does not exhibit significant autocorrelation (Durbin-Watson = 0.864), emphasizing BMI's significant role in predicting cardiovascular health.

OVER THE CATCH OF LIES: NATIONALIST WANDERING OF POST-SOVIET ART BETWEEN CULTURE AND POLITICS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF JUDGMENTS AND PUBLIC ACTIVITIES OF UKRAINIAN ARTISTS)
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Belashchenko D.A. , Dolzhenko K.N. ,   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod
Published: December 2024

The article examines the problem of interaction between culture and politics in the context of radical socio-political changes that occurred after the collapse of the USSR. The post-Soviet period was initially difficult for the development of various spheres of society, including mass culture and art. It is known that former Soviet cultural figures found it difficult to integrate into new realities, often being unprepared to accept new moral and ethical values and principles of public life, therefore negatively perceiving changes in the cultural sphere. On the other hand, many representatives of creative professions (theater, film and television artists, writers, musicians, directors, etc.) easily changed their political and other views, sometimes really getting into the "winds of change", sometimes acting solely for the sake of preserving their privileged position in society and maintaining popularity. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the fact that in Soviet society cultural figures were perceived as a kind of moral reference points, often (for example, in the case of artists) being considered inseparably from their theatrical or film heroes. Accordingly, in the new realities, any changes in their behavior and rhetoric could have a significant impact on public sentiment. This was actively used by various political forces, which were sometimes directly joined by various cultural figures. A good example in this case is Ukraine, which in the Soviet period gave the country a huge number of diverse talents. However, after the collapse of the USSR, many cultural figures took the path of conformity and preferred to adapt to new socio-political realities, often completely opposite to their previous views and positions. Based on the analysis, the authors conclude that the role and importance of cultural figures in post-Soviet societies are extremely exaggerated. The examples of the biographies of Ukrainian artists discussed in the article clearly demonstrate (with rare exceptions) their qualitative inconsistency with the high ideals and values that they were endowed with during the Soviet period and "by inertia", and also continued to be attributed to them later. It is characteristic that representatives of new generations of Ukrainian artists, due to circumstances, became involved in political vicissitudes, while actively using state propaganda for their own purposes.

The etiology of idiopathic scoliosis remains insufficiently studied despite advances in
modern science and a significant amount of research. Scoliosis of the spinal column disrupts the functional connections between different parts of the body, necessitating the formation of new compensatory mechanisms to maintain and control balance. Idiopathic scoliosis has a considerable impact on the spatiotemporal parameters of human motor activity, including posture, gait, and walking speed. Changes in kinematic and kinetic characteristics during walking are influenced both by the spinal deformity itself and by the compensatory adaptations that the body must employ to maintain stability. In this context, the study of transitional processes between static (standing) and dynamic (walking) states in patients with idiopathic scoliosis is particularly relevant, as this transition requires special coordination and adaptation of biomechanical mechanisms.
