OBJECTIVES This study investigated relationships between three measures of wisdom: self-ratings, peer ratings, and a self-report scale. We expected to find a zero or negative correlation between the self-rating and the average peer rating and low positive correlations of both to the self-report scale. We also tested whether there would be more convergence among measures in the top scorers. ME...

In this letter, we investigate a reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)-aided device to (D2D) communication system over Rician fading channels with imperfect hardware including both impairment at the transceivers and phase noise RISs. This letter has optimized shift by genetic algorithm (GA) method maximize achievable rate for continuous shifts (CPSs) discrete (DPSs). We also consider two sp...

Conventional centralized authentication techniques based on both digital cryptography and physical-layer attributes are prone to single-point failure due either compromised security keys or an abrupt change in the physical communication environment. Although these particular challenges could be mitigated by joint use of decentralized attributes, such schemes often exhibit unpredictable performa...

TeraHertz (THz) wireless communication constitutes a promising technique of satisfying the ever-increasing appetite for high-rate services. However, ultra-wide bandwidth THz communications requires high-speed, high-resolution analog-to-digital converters, which are hard to implement due their high complexity and power consumption. In this paper, deep learning-assisted receiver is designed, reli...

OBJECTIVES This study examined individual differences in laypeople's conceptions of wisdom using a person-oriented approach, as previous studies using a priori group variables may have underestimated the variability. Although there is a tradition of examining people's implicit theories of wisdom, this study is the first to also investigate their views of how wisdom develops. METHODS A total o...
