Using the PADM framework supported the interpretation of data, particularly ...

For instance, the study by Persinger (1980) suggests significant negative correlation between winter temperature and mortality in northern American, nor...
As a result, they may not be ideal for applications requiring immediate response, such as search and rescue operations during natural disasters [4]. In contrast, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a more effective solution for this issue. Unlike fixed base stations, which are stationary and ...
