Rare behaviors are often missing from published papers, hampering phylogenetic analyses. Here, we report, for the first time, masturbation and same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) in both male and female black-and-white colobus monkeys. We recorded these behaviors during 32 months of observation (1573 h of focal animal sampling) on Colobus vellerosus collected ...

This paper studies the energy scheduling for Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack against remote state estimation over multi-hop networks. A smart sensor observes a dynamic system, and transmits its local state estimate to a remote estimator. Due to the limited communication range of the sensor, some relay nodes are employed to deliver data packets from the sen ...

Studies have shown that the protection afforded by COVID-19 vaccines against hospitalization and death decreases slowly over time due to the emergence of new variants and waning immunity. Accordingly, booster doses remain critical to minimizing the health impacts of the pandemic. This study examined the prevalence rate, sociodemographic determinants, and ...
