description: Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to identify the lifestyle determinants motivating wineconsumption and the amount spent on it, as sales and profits depend largely on a sound knowledge ofthem.Design/methodology/approach– Data were gathered by means of a postal paper-and-pencilsurvey sent out to randomly chosen addresses from the telephone book covering the German-speakingpart of Switzerland, resulting in a final sample size of 874.Findings– Lifestyle determinants proved successful in explaining a great deal of the variance in thedata. For wine consumption, knowledge about wine, drinking wine to relax, and sociability were thestrongest determinants; for spending on wine, they were looking for bargains, visiting wine events,and regarding wine as a healthy beverage.Research limitations/implications– The research was limited by being conducted for a specificgeographic area, using explorative methodology.Practical implications– The identified determinants are of practical use to wine marketers, whocan use them to target potentially profitable consumers. They can also create marketing campaignsfocused directly on a specific determinant and thus increase consumption, spending or both.Originality/value– To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to analyze a broadrange of lifestyle variables to predict wine consumption and spending on wine.

description: We develop a microscopic theory of the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) at the interface of a bilayer system of a ferromagnetic insulator and graphene. We compare the tunneling spin current at the interface because of the SSE and the spin pumping (SP), where the SSE and SP are induced by the temperature gradient and the microwave irradiation, respectively. We demonstrate that the thermally driven SSE exhibits a quantum oscillation pattern similar to that predicted in coherently driven SP. Additionally, we show a peak shift of the quantum oscillation owing to the contribution of thermally excited magnons with higher frequencies, which becomes particularly pronounced at higher temperatures.

description: Super-moiré materials represent a novel playground to engineer states of matter beyond the possibilities of conventional moiré materials. However, from the computational point of view, understanding correlated matter in these systems requires solving models with several millions of atoms, a formidable task for state-of-the-art methods. Conventional wavefunction methods for correlated matter scale with a cubic power with the number of sites, a major challenge for super-moiré materials. Here, we introduce a methodology capable of solving correlated states in super-moiré materials by combining a kernel polynomial method with a quantics tensor cross interpolation matrix product state algorithm. This strategy leverages a mapping of the super-moiré structure to a many-body Hilbert space, that is efficiently sampled with tensor cross interpolation with matrix product states, where individual evaluations are performed with a Chebyshev kernel polynomial algorithm. We demonstrate this approach with interacting super-moiré systems with up to several millions of atoms, showing its ability to capture correlated states in moiré-of-moiré systems and domain walls between different moiré systems. Our manuscript puts forward a widely applicable methodology to study correlated matter in ultra-long length scales, enabling rationalizing correlated super-moiré phenomena.

Remarks: The specimens of I. squamigerum agree well with the morphometric data provided by Balsamo & Fregni (1995). The distribution and shape of the rounded keeled scales at the base of the furca as well as the subrectangular ventral terminal scales also agree with the original description. A peculiar difference between the Swedish and the Italian specimens is that the former lack the bi-keeled scales anchoring the posterior sensory bristles. The bristles originate from papillae instead of scales. Fregni et al. (1998) found I. squamigerum exclusively in freshwater sand. Six of the Swedish specimens were found at a sandy beach at lake Siljan and one specimen in a very small sandy patch at lake Trösvattnet. The findings of I. squamigerum in Sweden are the first records outside Italy where the species was described. PhIJ at U28; ASB at U23; PSB at U78.

Data Exclusivity
Comparative Law

description: This research presents an analysis of data exclusivity and its impact on access to medicines, one of the essential elements for the full realization of the fundamental right to health. Data exclusivity is an exclusive right, defined by some as an intellectual property right, which grants the holder of a marketing authorization for a new medicine a period of exclusivity over the results of preclinical and clinical trials conducted for the purpose of obtaining that authorization. This mechanism prevents competing manufacturers from achieving approval of generic versions of the drug in question through the abbreviated or simplified procedure, which requires only the demonstration of bioequivalence through appropriate bioavailability studies instead of the submission of a full dossier of studies proving the safety and efficacy of the product.

 

For several decades, legislators have identified data exclusivity as a mechanism that can reconcile the diverse needs of the pharmaceutical industry, as it is believed to ensure the original drug developer the ability to recoup the substantial resources invested in the research and development of the product.  The events that have marked the past few years – particularly the Covid-19 pandemic – have raised renewed interest among the public and legislators in issues such as pharmaceutical innovation, clinical trials and the approval of new drug products. At the same time, with the management of this health crisis, some problematic profiles of the current system have emerged, especially with reference to the delicate balance between the interests of the pharmaceutical industry and the protection of the right to health. From this point of view, data exclusivity represents a highly controversial exclusive right, especially in the context of economically less developed countries, which frequently face health emergencies but lack the resources to ensure access to the expensive treatments produced by large American and European pharmaceutical companies.

description: Dark matter dominates the matter budget of the universe but its nature is unknown. Deviations from the standard model, where dark matter clusters with the same gravitational strength as baryons, and has the same pressureless equation of state as baryons, can be tested by cosmic growth measurements. We take a model independent approach, allowing deviations in bins of redshift, and compute the constraints enabled by ongoing cosmic structure surveys through redshift space distortions and peculiar velocities. These can produce constraints at the $3-14\%$ level in four independent redshift bins over $z=[0,4]$.

description: Mesquite wood (Prosopis laevigata is used for a wide range of purposes, e.g. construction, decoration, and energy. The differences in physical and mechanical wood properties of P. laevigata in four locations, northeast Mexico, were investigated. The results showed that densities at 12% Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) in the four sites ranged from 0.79-0.91 g 3/cm compared to 0.72-0.84 g 3/cm under oven dry conditions. Tangential and radial shrinkage varied from 2.2- 3.3% and 1.6-1.9%, respectively. Modulus of rupture (MOR) ranged between 97-114 N 2/mm, static and dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOE(stat), MOE(dyn)) varied from 6,580 and 9,669 N 2/mm and 6,677 to 9,984 N 2/mm, respectively. The correlation between MOE(stat) and MOE(dyn) was 0.94. Physical and mechanical wood properties of P.laevigata varied depending on latitude, growth conditions and forest sites. Physical wood properties should be considered by foresters when selecting tree site or individual trees for plantation programs.

description: (Abridged) Mechanisms for quenching star formation in galaxies remain hotly debated, with galaxy mergers an oft-proposed pathway. In Ellison et al. (2022) we tested this scenario by quantifying the fraction of recently and rapidly quenched post-starbursts (PSBs) in a sample of post-merger galaxies identified in the Ultraviolet Near Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS). With our recent development of the Multi-Model Merger Identifier (MUMMI) neural network ensemble (Ferreira et al. 2024a,b), we are now additionally able to predict the time since coalescence (T_PM) for the UNIONS post-merger galaxies up to T_PM = 1.8 Gyr, allowing us to further dissect the merger sequence and measure more precisely when quenching occurs. Based on a sample of 5927 z<0.3 post-mergers identified in UNIONS, we find that the post-coalescence population evolves from one dominated by star-forming (and starbursting) galaxies at 0 < T_PM < 0.16 Gyr, through to a population that is dominated by quenched galaxies by T_PM ~ 1.5 Gyr. We find a PSB excess throughout the post-merger regime, but with a clear peak at 0.16 < T_PM < 0.48 Gyr. In this post-merger time range PSBs are more common than in control galaxies by factors of 30-100, an excess that drops sharply at longer times since merger. We also quantify the fraction of PSBs that are mergers and find that the majority (75%) of classically selected E+A are identified as mergers, with a lower merger fraction (60%) amongst PCA selected PSBs. Our results demonstrate that 1) galaxy-galaxy interactions can lead to rapid post-merger quenching within 0.5 Gyr of coalescence, 2) the majority of (but not all) PSBs at low z are linked to mergers and 3) quenching pathways are diverse, with different PSB selection techniques likely identifying galaxies quenched by different physical processes with an additional dependence on stellar mass.

description: We establish a simple yet general parameterization of Higgs-muon interactions within the effective field theory frameworks, including both the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) and the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We investigate the potential of a muon collider, operating at center-of-mass energies of 3 and 10 TeV, to probe Higgs-muon interactions. All possible processes involving the direct production of multiple electroweak bosons ($W$, $Z$, and $H$) with up to five final-state particles are considered. Our findings indicate that a muon collider can achieve greater sensitivity than the high-luminosity LHC, especially considering the independence of the Higgs decay branching fraction to muons. Notably, a 10 TeV muon collider offers exceptional sensitivity to muon-Higgs interactions, surpassing the 3 TeV option. In particular, searches based on multi-Higgs production prove highly effective for probing these couplings.

(Figures 7A, B; Table 4)
Localities: Ånnsjön, Jämtland, Sweden (63º15.637’N; 12º27.090’E).
Material: 1 specimen.
Remarks: Ichthydium tanytrichum is short and plump with a long tong-shaped furca. The Swedish specimen was an adult specimen of 126 µm in total body length and agrees well with descriptions provided by Balsamo (1982). The bi-keeled scales anchoring the posterior bristles as well as the large rectangular ventral terminal scales and the four pairs of long ventral ciliary tufts in the trunk region were clearly visible. Balsamo (1982) reports a total body length of only 74–76 µm for I. tanytrichum. In our opinion the specimens found by Balsamo (1982) were probably sub-adults based on the fact that the original drawing of this species was depicted without an egg, and most important the length of the pharynx is proportionally too long compared to total body length, a trait that is typical for sub-adult animals.

description: It's a beautiful early fall afternoon, and once again, I find myself drawn into the orbit of Nam June Paik—a true luminary of the 20th century art scene and an indisputable pioneer in what we now refer to as 'video,' 'electronic,' or 'media art.' I've been tasked with crafting an essay on the subject of Paik's early scores, and I'm grappling with the decision of whether to take a comprehensive approach, encompassing the numerous works that were either inspired by or gave rise to primary and secondary scores [1], or to focus my attention on a single example that would most effectively illustrate my points. Given my contemplation on the aesthetics of decay, my decision becomes clear in an instant: I will center my exploration on 'Liberation Sonata for Fish,' a fascinating instance of a score-based creation by Paik, dating back to 1969, that notably embodies the concept of degradation.

description: This paper studies the link between financial development and economic growth in a panel of 3 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, namely, Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates from 2008 to 2021. Using the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) estimator for linear dynamic panel data models, we show a positive relation between financial development and economic growth in GCC countries. These results recommend the need to promote the financial reforms and increase the efficiency of the financial systems of these countries to stimulate savings and investment and, therefore, economic growth in the selected countries.

description: Research on the psychosocial effects of Internet and social network usage in seniors is either contradictory or sparse. As part of the Third Age On�line project, this paper reports a cross-sectional survey conducted in Germany, the Netherlands and in Switzerland. The survey, utilizing regression analysis, examined whether or not social inclusion and mental wellbeing were predictors of Internet usage and social network usage. Results showed that social inclusion variables were associated with both Internet usage and social network usage. In�ternet usage was associated with respondents who were both less and more so�cially included. Mental wellbeing was positively related to Internet usage but not to social network usage. In further studies, longitudinal designs are needed to reveal the directions of causality between Internet/social network usage and mental wellbeing/social inclusion. Keywords: Internet, social networks, mental wellbeing, social inclusion, elderly.
Excited State Properties from the Bethe--Salpeter Equation: State-to-State Transitions and Spin-Orbit Coupling

description: The formalism to calculate excited state properties from the $GW$-Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) method is introduced, providing convenient access to excited state absorption, excited state circular dichroism, and excited state optical rotation in the framework of the $GW$-BSE method. This is achieved using the second-order transition density, which can be obtained by solving a set of auxiliary equations similar to time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The proposed formulation therefore leads to no increase in the formal computational complexity when compared to the corresponding ground state properties. We further outline the calculation of fully relaxed spin-orbit coupling matrix elements within the $GW$-BSE method, allowing us to include perturbative corrections for spin-orbit coupling in aforementioned properties. These corrections are also extended to TD-DFT. Excited state absorption and perturbative spin-orbit coupling corrections within $GW$-BSE are evaluated for a selected set of molecular systems, yielding promising results.

description: To coordinate the interests of operator and users in a microgrid under complex and changeable operating conditions, this paper proposes a microgrid scheduling model considering the thermal flexibility of thermostatically controlled loads and demand response by leveraging physical informed-inspired deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based bi-level programming. To overcome the non-convex limitations of karush-kuhn-tucker (KKT)-based methods, a novel optimization solution method based on DRL theory is proposed to handle the bi-level programming through alternate iterations between levels. Specifically, by combining a DRL algorithm named asynchronous advantage actor-critic (A3C) and automated machine learning-prioritized experience replay (AutoML-PER) strategy to improve the generalization performance of A3C to address the above problems, an improved A3C algorithm, called AutoML-PER-A3C, is designed to solve the upper-level problem; while the DOCPLEX optimizer is adopted to address the lower-level problem. In this solution process, AutoML is used to automatically optimize hyperparameters and PER improves learning efficiency and quality by extracting the most valuable samples. The test results demonstrate that the presented approach manages to reconcile the interests between multiple stakeholders in MG by fully exploiting various flexibility resources. Furthermore, in terms of economic viability and computational efficiency, the proposal vastly exceeds other advanced reinforcement learning methods.

description: We consider the quantum dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates at absolute zero, and demonstrate that an analogue gravity model going beyond the standard linearized analogue gravity paradigm à la Unruh must take into account the backreaction of quasiparticle excitations onto the condensate background. This requires that one expands to second order in perturbation amplitude and thus takes the intrinsic nonlinearity of the theory into account. It is shown that, as a result, significant modifications of the standard paradigm occur. In particular, to obtain a fully Lorentz-covariant equation in curved spacetime for second-order perturbations, we demonstrate that it is necessary to introduce, to leading order in powers of the formal mean-field expansion parameter $N^{-1/2}$ (where $N$ is total particle number), a quantum-fluctuation-renormalized spacetime metric which substantially differs from the Unruh acoustic spacetime metric and, to subleading order $1/N$, two emergent vector fields and a mass term. Both the renormalized metric as well as the vector fields and the mass then keep track of the backreaction of the quasiparticles onto the condensate up to the order in powers of $N^{-1/2}$ considered. Finally, we apply our formalism to an analogue-cosmological Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric and establish its renormalized form due to the quantum many-body backreaction exerted by the excitation cloud.

REMARKS
This genus is easily recognized by the presence of a stridulatory organ, in the form of a band of chitinized scales on the side of the abdomen along the margin of the fused tergites 1 and 2. The adults are usually completely black with white or yellow halter (except for the Neotropical species A. fusca Spencer, 1963 with black halter and A. insolens Spencer, 1963 with brownish halter), usually have three or more pairs of dc (a few species with only two well-developed postsutural dc and a third small one. Agromyza megaepistoma Sasakawa, 2005 from Ecuador has only two postsutural dc with rarely a third small one) and well-developed prsc. A single male specimen of Agromyza was collected on the Mitaraka massif (Boucher & Pollet 2021) and represents a new species that is described below.

Diverse diversities—Open innovation in small towns and rural areas

Year: 2019

description: It is generally accepted that cities and other forms of geographic agglomerations are conducive to innovation because their density and variety of firms, sectors and individuals create a diverse environment. However, a growing body of work shows that innovation also occurs in peripheral regions and small towns. Furthermore, work on rural social networks shows that diversity is multidimensional, and that along certain dimensions networks developed in rural areas are more diverse than those observed in cities. In this paper, we develop these arguments, then report our observations of seven successful firms in Swiss small towns. These firms benefit from at least three types of diversity: internal diversity; multiplexed interactions between workers at different hierarchical levels; and external diversity as firms reach beyond the region. We conclude that diversity conducive to firm-level innovation is not a specifically urban attribute: at least some of its dimensions are present in small towns and more peripheral areas.

description: Objective Good physician communication skills increase patient satisfaction and improve healing processes. Although physicians and patients appear to value communicative competencies differently, students are often evaluated solely by physicians. This study examines whether additional assessment of students by ‘standardized patients’ (SPs) is useful. Methods During their Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) 238 medical students were additionally rated by SPs at 9 stations according to two items that defined the ‘physician–patient relationship’ and ‘communication’. SPs were informed that their assessment was for research purposes only, with no impact on the assessment of the students. SPs also had the opportunity to comment on their rating of the students. Results The SPs rated the communicative competencies of students differently than physicians. The two parts of the SP rating are closely related. Inclusion of SP rating in the OSCE would provide higher measurement precision, with more students failing. SPs considered five factors relevant in their rating: ‘human connection’, ‘information flow’, ‘professionalism’, ‘competence’, and ‘exam situation’. Conclusion Our study suggests inclusion of SP rating as additional assessment of student communication skills. Practice Implications Addition of SP rating in assessments is worthwhile, as it appears to complete the picture of the student performance in their OSCEs.

description: In 2014, as part of a larger study of overpartitions with restrictions of the overlined parts based on residue classes, Munagi and Sellers defined $d_2(n)$ as the number of overpartitions of weight $n$ wherein only even parts can be overlined. As part of that work, they used a generating function approach to prove a parity characterization for $d_2(n)$. In this note, we give a combinatorial proof of their result and extend it to a modulus 4 characterization; we provide both generating function and combinatorial proofs of this stronger result. The combinatorial arguments incorporate classical involutions of Franklin, Glaisher, and Sylvester, along with a recent involution of van Leeuwen and methods new with this work.

description: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) show the potential of using LLMs as evaluators for assessing the quality of text generations from LLMs. However, applying LLM evaluators naively to compare or judge between different systems can lead to unreliable results due to the intrinsic win rate estimation bias of LLM evaluators. In order to mitigate this problem, we propose two calibration methods, Bayesian Win Rate Sampling (BWRS) and Bayesian Dawid-Skene, both of which leverage Bayesian inference to more accurately infer the true win rate of generative language models. We empirically validate our methods on six datasets covering story generation, summarization, and instruction following tasks. We show that both our methods are effective in improving the accuracy of win rate estimation using LLMs as evaluators, offering a promising direction for reliable automatic text quality evaluation.

description: Abstract Introduction In high-stakes assessment, the measurement precision of pass-fail decisions is of great importance. A concept for analyzing the measurement precision at the cut score is conditional reliability, which describes measurement precision for every score achieved in an exam. We compared conditional reliabilities in Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) with a special focus on the cut score and potential factors influencing conditional reliability at the cut score. Methods We analyzed 32 multiple-choice exams from three Swiss medical schools comparing conditional reliability at the cut score in IRT and CCT. Additionally, we analyzed potential influencing factors such as the range of examinees’ performance, year of study, and number of items using multiple regression.

description: Microbial consortia are a promising alternative to monocultures of genetically modified microorganisms for complex biotransformations. We developed a versatile consortium-based strategy for the direct conversion of lignocellulose to short-chain fatty acids, which included the funneling of the lignocellulosic carbohydrates to lactate as a central intermediate in engineered food chains. A spatial niche enabled in situ cellulolytic enzyme production by an aerobic fungus next to facultative anaerobic lactic acid bacteria and the product-forming anaerobes. Clostridium tyrobutyricum, Veillonella criceti, or Megasphaera elsdenii were integrated into the lactate platform to produce 196 kilograms of butyric acid per metric ton of beechwood. The lactate platform demonstrates the benefits of mixed cultures, such as their modularity and their ability to convert complex substrates into valuable biochemicals.

description: The Global Campus of Human Rights promotes, above all, the idea of human dignity, freedom and equality–an ideal that cannot be reached without also protecting the various environments people inhabit. Human rights thus embodya fair and equal society, which necessitates a responsible use of natural resources. Only when respecting ecosystems and responsibly using the planet’s resources can we enable a sustainable livelihood for all present and future generations. We, however, live in a time where wars are fought over scarce resources, where people lose their livelihoods because of environmental degradation and disasters, where thousands are forced to leave their homes due to the devastating effects of climate change, and where despite all scientific proof this reality is still de-nied by many. For these reasons, we understand our common and individual responsibility to ensure a peaceful and just world as intrinsically linked to the protection of our environment. In addition to the right to a clean environment, climate justice includes the right to life, health, work, shelter, water and food, to name but a few,thus situating the climate crisis as a primary threat to human rights. The environmental policy set out below is a step in our continued efforts to address this existential chal-lenge.

description: Abstract Background Disease-related malnutrition is highly prevalent in hospitalized medical and geriatric inpatients. It is associated with negative outcomes such as muscle wasting, decline of functional status, and increased morbidity and mortality. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are frequently used in nutritional therapy to increase intake. However, compliance to ONS is often limited and maybe improved by prescribing ONS in small portions timed with the medication (MEDPass). However, it is unknown whether the MEDPass administration enhances patients’ total energy and protein intake. Methods The MEDPass Trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label superiority trial. Patients in the MEDPass group receive 50 ml of ONS four times per day, distributed with the medication rounds. Patients in the control group receive ONS between meals. The primary outcome is average daily energy intake (% of calculated daily requirement). For our power analysis, we assumed that administration of ONS in the MEDPass administration mode increases energy intake by at least 10% (i.e., by 200 kcal for an average energy requirement of 2200 kcal/day). Thus, with the inclusion of 200 patients, this trial has 80% power to demonstrate that intervention group patients have an average intake of 2200 kcal/day (SD 500 kcal) versus 2000 kcal/day (SD 500 kcal) in control group patients. Energy and protein intakes from ONS and all food consumed are monitored continuously throughout the hospital stay and are statistically compared to the patient’s requirements. Secondary outcomes include average daily protein intake (% of calculated daily requirement), average intake of ONS/day, the course of body weight, handgrip strength, appetite, and nausea. Furthermore, hospital length of stay and 30-day mortality are assessed. The primary statistical analysis will be performed as an intention-to-treat analysis adjusted for the stratification factors used in randomization. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial assessing total energy and protein intake for the entire hospitalization period in patients receiving MEDPass versus conventional ONS administration. Thus, the MEDPass Trial will fill a gap and answer this relevant clinical question.

description: The fundamental idea of the excitonic insulator (EI) driven by electron-hole correlations in narrow-gap semiconductors or semimetals was originally proposed in the 1960s, and only theoretical studies had been advanced for a long time. However, the rise of new candidate materials and recent developments in measurement techniques have enabled us to discuss the possibilities of EI states in real materials experimentally. In this article, we review recent progress in the research of EIs. We start with an introduction to the theoretical background of the EI and the mechanism of the order formation including its relation to the physics of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) - Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover. We also review the EI states studied in the context of strongly correlated electron systems. Then, we introduce the candidate materials for the EI and the issues raised by recent experiments. For example, the phase transitions in several candidate materials are accompanied by lattice distortions, and the contributions from electron-lattice coupling hinder the identification of the excitonic entity. We also review the profiles of the collective modes to discuss the dynamical signatures of the EI.

description: The forthcoming sixth-generation (6G) industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) subnetworks are expected to support ultra-fast control communication cycles for numerous IoT devices. However, meeting the stringent requirements for low latency and high reliability poses significant challenges, particularly due to signal fading and physical obstructions. In this paper, we propose novel time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) communication protocols for cooperative transmission in IIoT subnetworks. These protocols leverage secondary access points (sAPs) as Decode-and-Forward (DF) and Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relays, enabling shorter cycle times while minimizing overall transmit power. A classification mechanism determines whether the highest-gain link for each IoT device is a single-hop or two-hop connection, and selects the corresponding sAP. We then formulate the problem of minimizing transmit power for DF/AF relaying while adhering to the delay and maximum power constraints. In the FDMA case, an additional constraint is introduced for bandwidth allocation to IoT devices during the first and second phases of cooperative transmission. To tackle the nonconvex problem, we employ the sequential parametric convex approximation (SPCA) method. We extend our analysis to a system model with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), enabling transmission through direct and RIS-assisted channels, and optimizing for a multi-RIS scenario for comparative analysis. Simulation results show that our cooperative communication approach reduces the emitted power by up to 7.5 dB while maintaining an outage probability and a resource overflow rate below $10^{-6}$. While the RIS-based solution achieves greater power savings, the relay-based protocol outperforms RIS in terms of outage probability.
