1. IntroductionWith the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the ubiquitous wireless devices can generate massive data via environment monitoring or target tracking [1]. However, due to the limited power or hardware architecture, these wireless devices cannot satisfy the data processing and computation requirements by themselves. This inspires wireless devices to seek help from online computing nodes who can assist in computation and data processing.

1. IntroductionThe general concept of network coding was proposed by Ahlswede et al. [1] in 2000. They investigate the single-source multicast network coding problem where the message generated by the source node is required to be sent to multiple sink nodes through a noiseless network. In addition to routing, the nodes in the network can process the received information to utilize the full capacity of the network. In 2003, Li et al.

AbstractBladder cancer (BCa) is heterogeneous in the tumour microenvironment (TME). However, the role of the TME in BCa in modulating the response to immunotherapy has not been fully explored. We therefore analysed fractions of immune cells using CIBERSORTx and clustered BCa into subtypes. We also analyzed weighted correlation networks to generate immunotherapy-related hub genes that we used to construct a prediction model using multivariate Cox and LASSO regression analyses.

AbstractThe migrasome is an organelle of migrating cells with diverse physiological functions. How migrasome formation is initiated is unknown. We found that sphingomyelin is enriched in migrasomes and identified sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2) as an essential protein for migrasome biogenesis. SMS2 assembles into immobile foci that adhere on the basal membrane at the leading edge.
