Expedited Proton Relay in Enzyme-Inspired Cobaloximes Facilitates Organic Transformations.

Developing a water-soluble, oxygen-tolerant, and acid-stable synthetic H2 production catalyst is vital for renewable energy infrastructure. To access such an effective catalyst, we strategically incorporated enzyme-inspired, multicomponent outer coordination sphere elements around the cobaloxime (Cl-Co-X) core with suitable axial coordination (X). Our cobaloximes with axial imidazole or L-histidine coordination in photocatalytic HAT including the construction of anilines via a non-canonical cross-coupling approach is found superior compared to commonly used cobaloxime catalysts. The reversible Co(II)/Co(I) process is influenced by the axial N ligand's nature. Imidazole/ L-histidine with a higher pKa promptly produces H2 upon irradiation, leading to the improved reactivity compared to previously employed axial (di)chloride or pyridine analogue.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell/embryonic stem cell-derived pyramidal neuronal precursors show safety and efficacy in a rat spinal cord injury model.

Nerve regeneration and circuit reconstruction remain a challenge following spinal cord injury (SCI). Corticospinal pyramidal neurons possess strong axon projection ability. In this study, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were differentiated into pyramidal neuronal precursors (PNPs) by addition of small molecule dorsomorphin into the culture. iPSC-derived PNPs were transplanted acutely into a rat contusion SCI model on the same day of injury. Following engraftment, the SCI rats showed significantly improved motor functions compared with vehicle control group as revealed by behavioral tests. Eight weeks following engraftment, the PNPs matured into corticospinal pyramidal neurons and extended axons into distant host spinal cord tissues, mostly in a caudal direction. Host neurons rostral to the lesion site also grew axons into the graft. Possible synaptic connections as a bridging relay may have been formed between host and graft-derived neurons, as indicated by pre- and post-synaptic marker staining and the regulation of chemogenetic regulatory systems. PNP graft showed an anti-inflammatory effect at the injury site and could bias microglia/macrophages towards a M2 phenotype. In addition, PNP graft was safe and no tumor formation was detected after transplantation into immunodeficient mice and SCI rats. The potential to reconstruct a neuronal relay circuitry across the lesion site and to modulate the microenvironment in SCI makes PNPs a promising cellular candidate for treatment of SCI.

Evaluation of custom-made Relay® stent-grafts for aortic arch landing zones 0 and I: experience from two high-volume aortic centres.

OBJECTIVES: To report experience with a Relay® stent-graft custom-made platform in treating different aortic arch pathology in 2 high-volume aortic centres. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of all patients treated between July 2016 and July 2023 with custom-made Relay® stent-graft (custom-made device). Underlying aortic arch pathology was an aneurysm, penetrating aortic ulcer, and dissection. Three custom-made device designs were used: proximal scallop, fenestrations, and inner branches. The endpoints were technical success, perioperative stroke, death, and reintervention rate. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients (89% males) with a mean age of 70 ± 11 years were treated.Indication for treatment was penetrating aortic ulcer in 14 patients (40%), aneurysm in 11 patients (31%) and aortic dissection in 10 patients (29%). The technical success rate was 100%. Twenty-eight patients (80%) had proximal sealing in zone 0, and 7 (20%) had proximal sealing in zone 1. Nine patients (25.6%) had proximal scallops, 9 (25.6%) had 1 big fenestration and 17 (48.8%) had a branched device; 1 with single branch, 15 with double branches and 1 with triple branches. Thirty patients (86%) had previous or simultaneous left subclavian artery revascularization. No patient died during 30 days. Two patients (5.7%) had stroke postoperatively; both recovered without disabling deficits. The mean follow-up was 35 ± 26 months. Six patients (17.1%) died during follow-up. One patient required reinforcement of the bridging stent in the left common carotid artery and one additional vascular plugging of the left subclavian artery. Three patients received distal extension. CONCLUSIONS: The Relay® stent-graft custom-made platform showed a good performance in our study with a high technical success rate, low perioperative stroke and mortality, and low reintervention rates during the follow-up.

Strong Enhancement in Cobalt(II) TPMA Aqueous Hydrogen Photosynthesis through Intramolecular Proton Relay.

Photosynthetic hydrogen generation by cobalt(II) tris(2-pyridilmethyl)amine (TPMA) complexes is mainly limited by protonation kinetics and decomposition routes involving demetallation. In the present work we have explored the effects of both proton shuttles and improved rigidity on the catalytic ability of cobalt(II) TPMA complexes. Remarkably, we demonstrate that, while a small enhancement in the catalytic performance is attained in a rigid cage structure, the introduction of ammonium groups as proton transfer relays in close proximity to the cobalt center allows to reach a 4-fold increase in the quantum efficiency of H2 formation, and a surprising 22-fold gain in the maximum turnover number, at low catalyst concentration. The beneficial role of the ammonium relays in promoting faster intramolecular proton transfer to the reduced cobalt center is documented by transient absorption spectroscopy, showcasing the great relevance of tuning the catalyst periphery to achieve efficient catalysis of solar fuel formation.

Self-extinguishing relay waves enable homeostatic control of human neutrophil swarming.

Neutrophils collectively migrate to sites of injury and infection. How these swarms are coordinated to ensure the proper level of recruitment is unknown. Using an ex vivo model of infection, we show that human neutrophil swarming is organized by multiple pulsatile chemoattractant waves. These waves propagate through active relay in which stimulated neutrophils trigger their neighbors to release additional swarming cues. Unlike canonical active relays, we find these waves to be self-terminating, limiting the spatial range of cell recruitment. We identify an NADPH-oxidase-based negative feedback loop that is needed for this self-terminating behavior. We observe near-constant levels of neutrophil recruitment over a wide range of starting conditions, revealing surprising robustness in the swarming process. This homeostatic control is achieved by larger and more numerous swarming waves at lower cell densities. We link defective wave termination to a broken recruitment homeostat in the context of human chronic granulomatous disease.

Enhancing Coordination Efficiency with Fuzzy Monte Carlo Uncertainty Analysis for Dual-Setting Directional Overcurrent Relays Amid Distributed Generation.

In the contemporary context of power network protection, acknowledging uncertainties in safeguarding recent power networks integrated with distributed generation (DG) is imperative to uphold the dependability, security, and efficiency of the grid amid the escalating integration of renewable energy sources and evolving operational conditions. This study delves into the optimization of relay settings within distribution networks, presenting a novel approach aimed at augmenting coordination while accounting for the dynamic presence of DG resources and the uncertainties inherent in their generation outputs and load consumption-factors previously overlooked in existing research. Departing from conventional methodologies, the study proposes a dual-setting characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs). Initially, a meticulous modeling of a power network featuring distributed generation is undertaken, integrating Weibull probability functions for each resource to capture their probabilistic behavior. Subsequently, the second stage employs the fuzzy Monte Carlo method to address generation and consumption uncertainties. The optimization conundrum is addressed using the ant lion optimizer (ALO) algorithm in the MATLAB environment. This thorough analysis was conducted on IEEE 14-bus and IEEE 30-bus power distribution systems, showcasing a notable reduction in the total DOCR operating time compared to conventional characteristics. The proposed characteristic not only achieves resilient coordination across a spectrum of uncertainties in both distributed generation outputs and load consumption, but also strengthens the resilience of distribution networks overall.

Effects of N levels on land productivity and N2O emissions in maize-soybean relay intercropping.

BACKGROUND: Relay intercropping of maize and soybean can improve land productivity. However, the mechanism behind N2O emissions in this practice remains unclear. A two-factor randomized block field trial was conducted to reveal the mechanism of N2O emissions in a full additive maize-soybean relay intercropping. Factor A was three cropping systems - that is, monoculture maize (Zea mays L.), monoculture soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) and maize-soybean relay intercropping. Factor B was different N supply, containing no N, reduced N and conventional N. Differences in N2O emissions, soil properties, rhizosphere bacterial communities and yield advantage were evaluated. RESULTS: The land equivalent ratio was 1.55-2.44, and the cumulative N2O emission ( C E N 2 O $$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{E}}_{{\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}} $$ ) was notably lower by 60.2% in intercropping than in monoculture, respectively. Reduced N declined C E N 2 O $$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{E}}_{{\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}} $$ without penalty on the yield advantages. The relay intercropping shifted soil properties - for example, soil organic matter, total N, NH 4 + $$ {\mathrm{NH}}_4^{+} $$ and protease activity - and improved the soil microorganism community - for example, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria. Intercropping reduced C E N 2 O $$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{E}}_{{\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}} $$ by directly suppressing nirS- and amoA-regulated N2O generation during soil N cycling, or nirS- and amoA-mediated soil properties shifted to reduce C E N 2 O $$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{E}}_{{\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}} $$ indirectly. Reduced N directly reduced C E N 2 O $$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{E}}_{{\mathrm{N}}_2\mathrm{O}} $$ by decreasing soil N content and reducing soil microorganism activities to alleviate N2O produced in soil N cycling. CONCLUSION: Conducting a full additive maize-soybean relay intercropping with reduced nitrogen supply provides a way to alleviate N2O emissions without the penalty on the yield advantage by changing rhizosphere bacterial communities and soil N cycling. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Pendant Proton-Relays Systematically Tune the Rate and Selectivity of Electrocatalytic Ammonia Generation in a Fe-Porphyrin Based Metal-Organic Framework.

Electrocatalytic nitrite reduction (eNO2RR) is a promising alternative route to produce ammonia (NH3). Until now, several molecular catalysts have shown capability to homogeneously reduce nitrite to NH3, while taking advantage of added secondary-sphere functionalities to direct catalytic performance. Yet, realizing such control over heterogeneous electrocatalytic surfaces remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that heterogenization of a Fe-porphyrin molecular catalyst within a 2D Metal-Organic Framework (MOF), allows efficient eNO2RR to NH3. On top of that, installation of pendant proton relaying moieties proximal to the catalytic site, resulted in significant improvement in catalytic activity and selectivity. Notably, systematic manipulation of NH3 faradaic efficiency (up to 90%) and partial current (5-fold increase) was achieved by varying the proton relay-to-catalyst molar ratio. Electrochemical and spectroscopic analysis show that the proton relays simultaneously aid in generating and stabilizing of reactive Fe-bound NO intermediate. Thus, this concept offers new molecular tools to tune heterogeneous electrocatalytic systems.

Value-added Upcycling of PET to 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol by a Hydrogenation/Hydrogenolysis Relay Catalysis.

We present an innovative process for directly transforming poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), a polymer extensively used in food and beverage packaging, into trans-isomer-enriched 1,4-cyclo- hexanedimethanol (CHDM), a key ingredient in advanced specialty polymers. Our approach leverages a dual-catalyst system featuring palladium on reduced graphene oxide (Pd/r-GO) and oxalate-gel-derived copper-zinc oxide (og-CuZn), utilizing hydrogenation/hydrog- enolysis relay catalysis. This method efficiently transforms PET into polyethylene-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (PECHD), which is then converted into CHDM with an impressive overall yield of 95% in a two-stage process. Our process effectively handles various post-consumer PET plastics, converting them into CHDM with yields between 78% and 89% across different substrates. Additionally, we demonstrate the applicability and scalability of this approach through a temperature-programmed three-stage relay process on a 10-gram scale, which results in purified CHDM with an isolated yield of 87% and a notably higher trans/cis ratio of up to 4.09/1, far exceeding that of commercially available CHDM. This research not only provides a viable route for repurposing PET waste but also enhances the control of selectivity patterns in multistage relay catalysis.

Spectral Efficiency Maximization for Mixed-Structure Cognitive Radio Hybrid Wideband Millimeter-Wave Transceivers in Relay-Assisted Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Systems.

This paper proposes a cognitive radio network (CRN)-based hybrid wideband precoding for maximizing spectral efficiency in millimeter-wave relay-assisted multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The underlying problem is NP-hard and non-convex due to the joint optimization of hybrid processing components and the constant amplitude constraint imposed by the analog beamformer in the radio frequency (RF) domain. Furthermore, the analog beamforming solution common to all sub-carriers adds another layer of design complexity. Two hybrid beamforming architectures, i.e., mixed and fully connected ones, are taken into account to tackle this problem, considering the decode-and-forward (DF) relay node. To reduce the complexity of the original optimization problem, an attempt is made to decompose it into sub-problems. Leveraging this, each sub-problem is addressed by following a decoupled design methodology. The phase-only beamforming solution is derived to maximize the sum of spectral efficiency, while digital baseband processing components are designed to keep interference within a predefined limit. Computer simulations are conducted by changing system parameters under different accuracy levels of channel-state information (CSI), and the obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Additionally, the mixed structure shows better energy efficiency performance compared to its counterparts and outperforms benchmarks.

A Nature-Inspired Approach to Energy-Efficient Relay Selection in Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN).

Despite the ability of Low-Power Wide-Area Networks to offer extended range, they encounter challenges with coverage blind spots in the network. This article proposes an innovative energy-efficient and nature-inspired relay selection algorithm for LoRa-based LPWAN networks, serving as a solution for challenges related to poor signal range in areas with limited coverage. A swarm behavior-inspired approach is utilized to select the relays' localization in the network, providing network energy efficiency and radio signal extension. These relays help to bridge communication gaps, significantly reducing the impact of coverage blind spots by forwarding signals from devices with poor direct connectivity with the gateway. The proposed algorithm considers critical factors for the LoRa standard, such as the Spreading Factor and device energy budget analysis. Simulation experiments validate the proposed scheme's effectiveness in terms of energy efficiency under diverse multi-gateway (up to six gateways) network topology scenarios involving thousands of devices (1000-1500). Specifically, it is verified that the proposed approach outperforms a reference method in preventing battery depletion of the relays, which is vital for battery-powered IoT devices. Furthermore, the proposed heuristic method achieves over twice the speed of the exact method for some large-scale problems, with a negligible accuracy loss of less than 2%.

Modifying Proton Relay into Bioinspired Dye-Based Coordination Polymer for Photocatalytic Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer.

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) imparts an energetic advantage over single electron transfer in activating inert substances. Natural PCET enzyme catalysis generally requires tripartite preorganization of proton relay, substrate-bound active center, and redox mediator, making the processes efficient and precluding side reactions. Inspired by this, a heterogeneous photocatalytic PCET system was established to achieve higher PCET driving forces by modifying proton relays into anthraquinone-based anionic coordination polymers. The proximally separated proton relays and photoredox-mediating anthraquinone moiety allowed pre-assembly of inert substrate between them, merging proton and electron into unsaturated bonds by photoreductive PCET, which enhanced reaction kinetics compared with the counter catalyst without proton relay. This photocatalytic PCET method was applied to a broad-scoped reduction of aryl ketones, unsaturated carbonyls, and aromatic compounds. The distinctive regioselectivities for the reduction of isoquinoline derivatives were found to occur on the carbon-ring sides. PCET-generated radical intermediate of quinoline could be trapped by alkene for proton relay-assisted Minisci addition, forming the pharmaceutical aza-acenaphthene scaffold within one step. When using heteroatom(X)-H/C-H compounds as proton-electron donors, this protocol could activate these inert bonds through photooxidative PCET to afford radicals and trap them by electron-deficient unsaturated compounds, furnishing the direct X-H/C-H functionalization.

A Merger of Relay Catalysis with Dynamic Kinetic Resolution Enables Enantioselective ß-C(sp3)-H Arylation of Alcohols.

The conceptual merger of relay catalysis with dynamic kinetic resolution strategy is reported to enable regio- and enantioselective C(sp3)-H bond arylation of aliphatic alcohols, forming enantioenriched ß-aryl alcohols typically with >90 : 10 enantiomeric ratios (up to 98 : 2 er) and 36-74 % yields. The starting materials bearing neighbouring stereogenic centres can be converted to either diastereomer of the ß-aryl alcohol products, with >85 : 15 diastereomeric ratios determined by the catalysts. The reactions occur under mild conditions, ensuring broad compatibility, and involve readily available aryl bromides, an inorganic base, and commercial Ru- and Pd-complexes. Mechanistic experiments support the envisioned mechanism of the transformation occurring through a network of regio- and stereoselective processes operated by a coherent Ru/Pd-dual catalytic system.

Stereodivergent Construction of 1,5/1,7-Nonadjacent Tetrasubstituted Stereocenters Enabled by Pd/Cu-Cocatalyzed Asymmetric Heck Cascade Reaction.

The construction of chiral motifs containing nonadjacent stereocenters in an enantio- and diastereoselective manner has long been a challenging task in synthetic chemistry, especially with respect to their stereodivergent synthesis. Herein, we describe a protocol that enables the enantio- and diastereoselective construction of 1,5/1,7-nonadjacent tetrasubstituted stereocenters through a Pd/Cu-cocatalyzed Heck cascade reaction. Notably, a C=C bond relay strategy involving the shift of the π-allyl palladium intermediate was successfully applied in the asymmetric construction of 1,7-nonadjacent stereocenters. The current method allows for the efficient preparation of chiral molecules bearing two privileged scaffolds, oxindoles and non-natural α-amino acids, with good functional group tolerance. The full complement of the four stereoisomers of products bearing 1,5/1,7-nonadjacent stereocenters could be readily accessed by a simple combination of two chiral metal catalysts with different enantiomers.

Antijamming Schemes for the Generalized MIMO Y Channel.

Signal space alignment (SSA) is a promising technique for interference management in wireless networks. However, despite the excellent work done on SSA, its robustness against jamming attacks has not been considered in the literature. In this paper, we propose two antijamming strategies for the SSA scheme applied in the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) Y channel. The first scheme involves projecting the jamming signal into the null space of each source's precoding vectors, effectively eliminating it entirely. The second scheme removes interference originating from the jammer by subtracting the disturbance estimate from the incoming signal. The estimate is derived on the basis of the criterion of minimizing the received signal energy. The block error rate (BLER) performance of the proposed strategies in various channel configurations is verified by link level simulations and is presented to show the efficiency in mitigating jamming signals within the SSA-based MIMO Y channel.

Efficient Inhibition of Deep Conversion of Partial Oxidation Products in C-H Bonds' Functionalization Utilizing O2 via Relay Catalysis of Dual Metalloporphyrins on Surface of Hybrid Silica Possessing Capacity for Product Exclusion.

To inhibit the deep conversion of partial oxidation products (POX-products) in C-H bonds' functionalization utilizing O2, 5-(4-(chloromethyl)phenyl)-10,15,20-tris(perfluorophenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II) and 5-(4-(chloromethyl)phenyl)-10,15,20-tris(perfluorophenyl)porphyrin copper(II) were immobilized on the surface of hybrid silica to conduct relay catalysis on the surface. Fluorocarbons with low polarity and heterogeneous catalysis were devised to decrease the convenient accessibility of polar POX-products to catalytic centers on the lower polar surface. Relay catalysis between Co and Cu was designed to utilize the oxidation intermediates alkyl hydroperoxides to transform more C-H bonds. Systematic characterizations were conducted to investigate the structure of catalytic materials and confirm their successful syntheses. Applied to C-H bond oxidation, not only deep conversion of POX-products was inhibited but also substrate conversion and POX-product selectivity were improved simultaneously. For cyclohexane oxidation, conversion was improved from 3.87% to 5.27% with selectivity from 84.8% to 92.3%, which was mainly attributed to the relay catalysis on the surface excluding products. The effects of the catalytic materials, product exclusion, relay catalysis, kinetic study, substrate scope, and reaction mechanism were also investigated. To our knowledge, a practical and novel strategy was presented to inhibit the deep conversion of POX-products and to achieve efficient and accurate oxidative functionalization of hydrocarbons. Also, a valuable protocol was provided to avoid over-reaction in other chemical transformations requiring high selectivity.

Relay-Type Catalysis by a Dual-Metal Single-Atom System in a Waste Biomass Derivative Host for High-Rate and Durable Li-S Batteries.

An environmental-friendly and sustainable carbon-based host is one of the most competitive strategies for achieving high loading and practicality of Li-S batteries. However, the polysulfide conversion reaction kinetics is still limited by the nonuniform or monofunctional catalyst configuration in the carbon host. In this work, we propose a catalysis mode based on "relay-type" co-operation by adjacent dual-metal single atoms for high-rate and durable Li-S batteries. A discarded sericin fabric-derived porous N-doped carbon with a stacked schistose structure is prepared as the high-loading sulfur (84 wt %) host by a facile ionothermal method, which further enables the uniform anchoring of Fe/Co dual-metal single atoms. This multifunctional host enables superior lithiophilic-sulfiphilic and electrocatalytic capabilities contributed by the "relay-type" single-atom modulation effects on different conversion stages of liquid polysulfides and solid Li2S2/Li2S, leading to the suppression of the "shuttle effect", alleviation of nucleation and decomposition barriers of Li2Sx, and acceleration of polysulfide conversion kinetics. The corresponding Li-S batteries exhibit a high specific capacity of 1399.0 mA h g-1, high-rate performance up to 10 C, and excellent cycling stability over 1000 cycles. They can also endure the high sulfur loading of 8.5 mg cm-2 and the lean electrolyte condition and yield an areal capacity as high as 8.6 mA h cm-2. This work evidentially demonstrates the potential of waste biomass reutilization coupled with the design of a single-atom system for practical Li-S batteries with high energy density.

Lipoic acid attachment to proteins: stimulating new developments.

SUMMARYLipoic acid-modified proteins are essential for central metabolism and pathogenesis. In recent years, the Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis lipoyl assembly pathways have been modified and extended to archaea and diverse eukaryotes including humans. These extensions include a new pathway to insert the key sulfur atoms of lipoate, several new pathways of lipoate salvage, and a novel use of lipoic acid in sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Other advances are the modification of E. coli LplA for studies of protein localization and protein-protein interactions in cell biology and in enzymatic removal of lipoate from lipoyl proteins. Finally, scenarios have been put forth for the evolution of lipoate assembly in archaea.

Relay protection sensitivity integrated optimal placement and capacity of inverter interfaced distributed generators in distribution networks.

The relay protection sensitivity is one of the determined factors in the power system, however, it is often overlooked in current distribution network (DN) planning. The relay protection sensitivity can be decreased to below the minimum values, failing to meet the requirements for electrical installations. To address this challenge, a new optimization model integrated with the relay protection sensitivity to maximize the inverter interfaced distributed generator (IIDG) penetration level while minimizing IIDG investment was proposed in this paper. The IIDG effect on the relay protection sensitivity was analysed and the relay protection sensitivity re-evaluation method was developed. The relay protection sensitivity evaluation was integrated into the proposed model and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was developed to solve the nonlinear issue. The proposed optimization method was tested on different cases, and results confirmed the effectiveness of the method. Furthermore, the relay sensitivity profiles obtained through the proposed method and the optimization without considering the relay sensitivity limits were compared. The proposed method improves the average and minimum sensitivity factors by 28.77 % and 51.76 %, respectively, when the DTO protection functions as the backup for the protected line in the thirty-three-node system. When DTO acts as the backup for the adjacent line, the average and minimum values increase by 29.91 % and 50.95 %, respectively. Comparative analysis confirms the efficacy of the proposed method. The new method extends the power system panning approaches and can be integrated into the DN planning tools to support the low-carbon initiatives.

A Novel Spider Monkey Optimization for Reliable Data Dissemination in VANETs Based on Machine Learning.

The growth in linked and autonomous vehicles has led to the emergence of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) as a means to enhance road safety, traffic efficiency, and passenger comfort. However, VANETs face challenges in facilitating trustworthiness and high-quality services due to communication delays caused by traffic, dynamic topology changes, variable speeds, and other influencing factors. Hence, there is a need for a reliable data dissemination scheme capable of reducing communication delays among hops by identifying effective forwarder nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel, weighted, estimated, spider monkey-based, nature-inspired optimization (w-SMNO) method to generate a set of efficient relays. Additionally, we introduce a dynamic weight assignment and configuration model to enhance system accuracy using a neural network based on backpropagation with gradient descent optimization techniques to minimize errors in the machine learning model. The w-SMNO also incorporates a distinct algorithm for effective relay selection among multiple monkey spider groups. The simulation results demonstrate substantial improvements in w-SMNO, with a 35.7% increase in coverage, a 41.2% reduction in the end-to-end delay, a 36.4% improvement in the message delivery rate, and a 38.4% decrease in the collision rate compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.
