(Intending) Migrants and Occupational Downgrading: Investigating the Willingness to Leave the Health Sector Post‐Migration

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unquenched thirst for emigration in Nigeria‐ and the increasing cost of migrating to the West‐has been established in the literature. Professionals, such as healthcare workers (HCWs), are poorly paid in Nigeria, making many seek better employment abroad.

Resource Allocation for Secure Gaussian Parallel Relay Channels with Finite-Length Coding and Discrete Constellations

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the transmission of a secret message from Alice to Bob in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve) and many of decode-and-forward relay nodes.

Integrated LEO Constellation and In‐Cabin Distribution System for Continuous Aircraft 5G Connectivity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integration of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations with commercial aircraft communication systems presents critical challenges in maintaining continuous connectivity during dynamic flight conditions. Current geostationary satellite systems suffer from high round‐trip latency (>$$ > $$ 500 ms) and inadequate coverage at high ...

Optimal Power Allocation for A Massive MIMO Relay Aided Secure Communication

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper, we address the problem of optimal power allocation at the relay in two-hop secure communications under practical conditions. To guarantee secure communication during the long-distance transmission, the massive MIMO (M-MIMO) relaying ...

Forgoing Nuclear: Nuclear Power Plant Closures and Carbon Emissions in the United States

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of nuclear power plant decommissioning on electricity generation and carbon emissions in the United States. Using data on nuclear reactor closures in the United States between 1993 and 2022 and data on state‐level carbon emissions and electricity generation from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), this ...

Modeling Analysis for Downlink RIS-UAV-Assisted NOMA over Air-to-Ground Line-of-Sight Rician Channels

open access: yesDrones
This paper proposes a drone-assisted NOMA communication system equipped with a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). Given the Line-of-Sight nature of the Air-to-Ground link, a more realistic Rician fading environment is chosen for the study of ...

Physical Layer Security in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Under A Hybrid Full-/Half-Duplex Receiver Deployment Strategy

open access: yes, 2017
This paper studies physical layer security in a wireless ad hoc network with numerous legitimate transmitter-receiver pairs and eavesdroppers. A hybrid full-/half-duplex receiver deployment strategy is proposed to secure legitimate transmissions, by ...

FL‐Offshore: A Federated Learning Framework for Predictive Maintenance in Brazilian Offshore Production Scenario

open access: yesArtificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Offshore oil production in Brazil relies on Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units, where failures in rotating machinery motivate machine learning–based predictive maintenance. Centralised training is impractical due to privacy constraints, heterogeneous and highly imbalanced local datasets and unreliable satellite ...

Secrecy Outage Probability Analysis for Downlink RIS-NOMA Networks With On-Off Control

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 2023
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been regarded as a promising technology since it has ability to create the favorable channel conditions. This paper investigates the secure communications of RIS assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks, where both external and internal eavesdropping scenarios are taken into consideration ...
