Symmetrical Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is utilized in the higher rate Wireless Communication Systems (WCSs). In the correspondence framework, a fem to cell is a little cell in building Base Station (BS), which devours less power, short range, and works in a minimal effort. The fem to cell has little separation among sender and recipient that give higher flag quality. In spite of the favorable position in fem to cell systems, there win critical difficulties in Interference Management. Specifically, impedance between the macro cell and fem to cell turns into the fundamental issue in OFDMA-Long Term Evaluation (OFDMA-LTE) framework. In this paper, the Neural Network and Hybrid Bee Colony and Cuckoo Search based Resource Allocation (NN-HBCCS-RA) in OFDMA-LTE framework is presented. The ideal power esteems are refreshed to dispense every one of the clients in the fem to cell and large scale cell. The NN-HBCCS strategy accomplished low Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR), otherworldly proficiency and high throughput contrasted with customary techniques.

Wave energy and storm surges threaten coastal ecology and nearshore infrastructures. Although coastal structures are conventionally constructed to dampen the wave energy, they introduce tremendous damage to the ecology of the coast. To minimize environmental impact, ecofriendly coastal protection schemes should be introduced. In this paper, we discuss an example of an innovative mangrove rehabilitation attempt to restore the endangered mangroves on Carey Island, Malaysia. A submerged detached breakwater system was constructed to dampen the energy of wave and trap the sediments behind the structure. Further, a large number of mangrove seedlings were planted using different techniques. Further, we assess the possibility of success for a future mangrove rehabilitation project at the site in the context of sedimentology, bathymetry, and hydrogeochemistry. The assessment showed an increase in the amount of silt and clay, and the seabed was noticeably elevated. The nutrient concentration, the pH value, and the salinity index demonstrate that the site is conducive in establishing mangrove seedlings. As a result, we conclude that the site is now ready for attempts to rehabilitate the lost mangrove forest.

In the Anthropocene, dunes act as a natural defence from sea-level rise and storm surges while providing ‘ecosystem’ services. This article uses scientific and historical data to examine the Manawatū-Whanganui dune field in New Zealand from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. Dunes that were destabilised due to European settlements and their activities were drifting inland causing social, economic and political problems. Attempts to prevent dune mobility occurred at the time in many parts of the world. Thus, knowledge was shared between countries through experts and migrants. The consequences of the implemented solutions and new environmental conditions mean that dunes are still a major issue in the region. A comparative analysis of historical and present-day dune management practices provides a better understanding of long-term dune drift. In conclusion, interdisciplinary analyses of long-term relations between dunes and society must be taken into account for their holistic management.

Nurse practitioner (NP) roles have been identified as a key strategy in the development of a sustainable and responsive health workforce. To date, the focus of research related to NP roles has been on implementation and short-term evaluation of aspects of NP care; however, little is known about the sustainability of NP roles. A major challenge for the healthcare sector is to demonstrate long-term outcomes of NP care and shift the research focus from individual NPs to the effectiveness of healthcare teams that incorporate NPs. This paper draws on a framework of the following domains of sustainability in primary care: political, institutional, financial–economic, workforce and client (or patient) and applies these domains to NP planning in the Victorian context. What is known about the topic?Studies have shown several positive outcomes of NP care including cost, quality of care, patient satisfaction and access to care. What does this paper add?Sustainability of NP roles is poorly understood; however, there are theoretical factors that may be useful in planning for sustainable NP roles. What are the implications for practitioners?There are opportunities to examine traditional roles, governance and funding structures in healthcare to optimise a sustainable contribution to healthcare by NPs and integration of sustainable NP models by health services.
