In a context-aware Internet of Things (IoT) environment, the functional contexts of devices and users will change over time depending on their service consumption. Each iteration of an IoT middleware algorithm will also encounter changes occurring in the contexts due to the joining/leaving of new/old members; this is the inherent nature of ad hoc IoT scenarios. Individual users will have notable preferences in their service consumption patterns; by leveraging these patterns, the approach presented in this article focuses on how these changes impact performance due to functional-context switching over time. This is based on the idea that consumption patterns will exhibit certain time-variant correlations. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is used in the proposed approach to capture the impact of these correlations and study them in depth. The results of this study reveal how the correlation probabilities and the system performance change over time; this also aids with the construction of the boundaries of certain time-variant correlations in users' consumption patterns. In the proposed approach, the information gleaned from the MLE is used in arranging the service information within a distributed service registry based on users' service usage preferences. Practical simulations were conducted over small (100 nodes), medium (1000 nodes), and relatively larger (10,000 nodes) networks. It was found that the approach described helps to reduce service discovery time and can improve the performance in service-oriented IoT scenarios.

Social justice activists came together on Sunday, October 13 at Holland Park in Surrey to raise their voices against the death of a former Delhi university Professor in India. GN Saibaba passed away following health issues that worsened because of inhuman treatment in jail. A human rights defender, who stood up for the rights of the poor and marginalized, including the indigenous peoples of India, Saibaba was branded as a sympathizer of Maoist insurgents before being thrown behind bars. He was convicted after being framed on trumped up charges.

Iliopsoas abscesses are a rare complication of appendicitis and are associated with high morbidity and mortality without appropriate intervention. Current literature provides sufficient evidence for managing psoas abscesses via antimicrobial therapy, CT-guided percutaneous drainage, and laparoscopic or open drainage as primary approaches. However, there is insufficient data in the current literature for assessing improved patient outcomes with robotically assisted laparoscopic drainage as an approach to treatment. Here, we present the case of a 72-year-old male with a prior history of perforated appendicitis complicated by a pelvic abscess and treated interventional radiology (IR)-guided drain, left partial nephrectomy secondary to renal cell carcinoma, and bilateral hip arthroplasty presenting with signs and symptoms of recurrent appendicitis. CT imaging found a loculated right iliopsoas abscess adjacent to the appendix, which was not amenable to IR percutaneous drainage. Surgical drainage was deemed necessary with a robotically assisted approach, and the patient had improved clinical status after the intervention. Early results show that robotically assisted laparoscopic surgery has been shown to shorten the clinical course for patients via decreased length of stay, faster recovery times, and better incisions cosmetically. Drainage via robotic laparoscopy allows for complete drainage and irrigation, maximizing source control of infection. It is an effective approach for the management of refractory psoas abscesses secondary to appendicitis.

Crop residue burning is a significant environmental and health challenge, especially in Punjab, a major agricultural region in India. The burning of rice stubble, while an efficient and low-cost solution for farmers managing the transition between rice and wheat crops, releases greenhouse gases and deteriorates air quality. Addressing this problem requires a nuanced understanding of the socio-technical landscape in which agricultural practices are embedded.
