ABSTRACT Climate variability is affecting the productivity, profitability, and resilience of smallholder dairy producers in developing countries. The adoption of climate‐smart (CS) dairy practices has been promoted to mitigate these negative effects. However, while interest in dairy CS practices is growing, empirical evidence on their adoption patterns

Improving Long‐Term Glucose Prediction Accuracy with Uncertainty‐Estimated ProbSparse‐Transformer
Wearable devices collect blood glucose and other physiological data, which serve as inputs to the prediction model. After data embedding, a structure utilizing ProbSparse self‐attention and a one‐step generative head within a Transformer‐based model is introduced, which is concurrently designed for deployment on edge devices, enabling real‐time ...

A Literature Survey on Potential Private User Information Leakage in Metaverse Applications
This survey explores potential privacy risks in the Metaverse, focusing on personal data inferred from virtual reality headsets embedded with passive brain‐computer interfaces (BCI). It reviews how age, gender, and ethnicity can be predicted using neurophysiological signals, (e.g., electroencephalogram). The survey also explores future threats from non‐
