Clustering is an important research topic for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) because clustering makes it possible to guarantee basic levels of system performance, such as throughput and delay, in the presence both mobility a large number terminals. A variety approaches have been presented, whereby different typically focus on performance metrics. This article presents comprehensive survey recently proposed algorithms, which we classify based their objectives. provides descriptions...
Two-photon photodynamic therapy (PDT) is able to offer precise 3D manipulation of treatment volumes, providing a target level that unattainable with current therapeutic techniques. The advancement this technique greatly hampered by the availability photosensitizers large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section, high reactive-oxygen-species (ROS) generation efficiency, and bright fluorescence.

Metasurfaces enable flat optical components with predesigned functionalities, including the polarization conversion using subwavelength elements. However, switching between different functionalities of metasurface‐based is extremely difficult because elements have to be finely addressed change spatial phase gradient for desired functionality.

Interference field in wireless networks is often modeled by a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP). While it realistic modeling the inherent node irregularity and provides meaningful first-order results, falls short effect of interference management techniques, which typically introduces some form spatial interaction among active transmitters. In applications, such as cognitive radio device-to-device networks, this may result formation holes an otherwise field. The resulting can be...
This paper develops a comprehensive analytical framework with foundations in stochastic geometry to characterize the performance of cluster-centric content placement cache-enabled device-to-device (D2D) network.
