Network routing has a great impact on the efficiency and reliability of the traffic network system in a real-world scenario. To date, achieving network-consistent performance is the main goal of many traffic network research studies. In this research, a mixed strategy game-theory model for network routing is proposed that discovers the optimal strategies that can be adopted by network route players in a network graph. This model has been validated by measuring the model outcomes using quantal response equilibrium (QRE) technique, which explores the players' noisy decisions by comparing the utilized optimal strategies with Nash equilibrium. The experimental results demonstrate that there is an equilibrium with a mixed strategy of a given network.

Connected vehicular tracking schema operated in environmentally safe radio frequency of 434 MHz, artificial intelligence, and machine learning and IoT technology (CVT-AIML-IoT) is cost effective and secured tracking or device monitoring system. The prime benefit of the proposed CVT-AIML-IoT system is that it utilizes cloud internet of things (IoT) technology and active radio frequency identification over global positioning system (GPS), which is prone to attackers due to self-defenseless network architecture. The sliding side of GPS is observed; when the GPS module is switched-off, it can be hidden without any authorization. Hence, an uninterrupted observing secured system like CVT-AIML-IoT is a promising solution with dynamic vehicular PIN generation by AI-ML concept. CVT-AIML-IoT grids the traceable area based on the topographical dependency. Detection range gateway coupled with IoT transceiver module captures data from each tracking zone to the cloud for monitoring over Web UI support and mapped with time stamp. Hence, CVT-AIML-IoT assures vehicular monitoring in a lucrative approach.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used for the different multimedia applications in which the data in multimedia form (e.g., images and videos) are captured by visual sensors and transmitted to base stations or destination nodes, and such networks, commonly called wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN), transmit high-quality images over sensor nodes with image quality improvement and CS technique while the security of CS data is achieved. The one-way DF-based cooperative digital image transmission model over WSNs using advanced terminologies for image compression called advanced JPEG2000 compression and modified elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) encryption is proposed. Image quality improvement efficiency is essential in multimedia applications and wireless communications. The authors proposed a novel technique based on adaptive and dynamic noise removal and quality improvement for both before compression and after compression. The compression method designed is based on CS technique.

This research empirically investigated the effect of environmental cost disclosure (ECD) and social cost disclosure (SCD) on financial performance (FP) mediated by earning management (EM). To achieve this purpose, a quantitative research method was employed using secondary data sources including reports of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and annual reports. Then, the data were examined using smart partial least squares (PLS). The research sample was represented by international energy corporations during the period (2016, 2017, and 2018). The study results revealed that the environmental and social costs disclosure significantly affected financial performance. This was in agreement with theories of instrumental stakeholders, legitimacy, and agency. This means that more cost on environmental and social information disclosure can generate greater opportunities for corporations.

Portable robots are considered an important device in many areas such as in medical, space research, emergency situations, applications, etc. The robots complete tasks efficiently and effectively without any human interaction. The most important advantages of portable robots are their small size and very high speed in problem processing with relatively high accuracy and efficiency compared with constant devices. In this paper, the authors discussed the applications of the robot systems based on swarm intelligent controller and field programmable gate array (FPGA). A component-oriented FPGA design platform is proposed for robot system integration because FPGAs are known to be power-efficient hardware platforms. From the results, they found that FPGA and swarm intelligence are very efficient in robotic systems and used in a wide area of applications.
