Immunological and periodontal benefits of prebiotic polydextrose in rats with induced periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prebiotic therapy is a promising approach for managing periodontitis due to its potential benefits in modulating the microbiome and the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the prebiotic (PREB) polydextrose (PDX) on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

On Non-Preemptive VM Scheduling in the Cloud

, 2017
We study the problem of scheduling VMs (Virtual Machines) in a distributed server platform, motivated by cloud computing applications. The VMs arrive dynamically over time to the system, and require a certain amount of resources (e.g.

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

Oikos, EarlyView.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina
