   As Internet of Things (IoT) technology becomes more widespread and commonplace in homes, the efficiency of these devices using available bandwidth is becoming more of a concern, as the number of connected devices in a home increase drastically. If each device is controlled using a separate Application Programming Interface (API), the strain on a network will be much worse than it would if all these devices are controlled from a single point. This single point could handle all commands to and from the devices, thereby decreasing the network load. The framework of a testbed presented in this paper will allow developers to build an API around the devices included in the testbed. Then test their algorithms and other research methods from a remote location.

2. A LiDAR camera with an edge

   Oguh, Blessed; Abubakar, Sulaiman; Lee, Suk Kyoung; Li, Wen (April 2025, Measurement Science and Technology)

   Abstract A novel light detection and ranging (LiDAR) design was proposed and demonstrated using just a conventional global shutter complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) camera. Utilizing the jittering rising edge of the camera shutter, the distance of an object can be obtained by averaging hundreds of camera frames. The intensity (brightness) of an object in the image is linearly proportional to the distance from the camera. The achieved time precision is about one nanosecond while the range can reach beyond 50 m using a modest setup. The new design offers a simple yet powerful alternative to existing LiDAR techniques.

3. Is an Effective Team an Equitable Team? Protocol for a Scoping Review

   https://doi.org/10.1109/FIE56618.2022.9962452  

   Moffat, Andrew D.; Fowler, Robin; Matz, Rebecca L.; Jeffrey, Madison (October 2022, Frontiers in Education)

   This full paper sets out a methodological protocol for conducting a scoping review of literature relating to teamwork effectiveness and equity. The goal of the study is to understand how academic discourse over the five-year period prior to the study being carried out has conceptualized teamwork success in educational and professional contexts, and to what extent equitable team practices are embedded within such conceptualizations. In line with ongoing initiatives to promote transparency in research, this protocol paper is intended for dissemination prior to the conduct of the study itself. The research context, questions, and rationale are set out, and a detailed methodology described, outlining procedures for data retrieval, screening, extraction, and analysis. The paper concludes with an outline of intended reporting methods for the study, including the reporting of deviations from the procedures set out herein. This paper contributes to the scoping review methodology, and especially its application in the field of engineering education research and education research more broadly.

5. An AGN with an Ionized Gas Outflow in a Massive Quiescent Galaxy in a Protocluster at z = 3.09

   https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac7f2d  

   Kubo, Mariko; Umehata, Hideki; Matsuda, Yuichi; Kajisawa, Masaru; Steidel, Charles C.; Yamada, Toru; Tanaka, Ichi; Hatsukade, Bunyo; Tamura, Yoichi; Nakanishi, Kouichiro; et al (August 2022, The Astrophysical Journal)

   Abstract We report the detection of an ionized gas outflow from an X-ray active galactic nucleus hosted in a massive quiescent galaxy in a protocluster at z = 3.09 (J221737.29+001823.4). It is a type-2 QSO with broad ( W 80 > 1000 km s −1 ) and strong ( log ( L [ OIII ] /erg s −1 ) ≈ 43.4) [O iii ] λ λ 4959,5007 emission lines detected by slit spectroscopy in three-position angles using Multi-Object Infra-Red Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) on the Subaru telescope and the Multi-Object Spectrometer For Infra-Red Exploration (MOSFIRE) on the Keck-I telescope. In the all slit directions, [O iii ] emission is extended to ∼15 physical kpc and indicates a powerful outflow spreading over the host galaxy. The inferred ionized gas mass outflow rate is 22 ± 3 M ⊙ yr −1 . Although it is a radio source, according to the line diagnostics using H β , [O ii ], and [O iii ], photoionization by the central QSO is likely the dominant ionization mechanism rather than shocks caused by radio jets. On the other hand, the spectral energy distribution of the host galaxy is well characterized as a quiescent galaxy that has shut down star formation several hundred Myr ago. Our results suggest a scenario that QSOs are powered after the shutdown of the star formation and help complete the quenching of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift.
