Scale and quality in Nordic hospitals
Nordic Journal of Health Economics, 2018 Empirical analysis of hospitals in production economics often find little or no evidence of scale economies and quite small optimal sizes. Medical literature on the other hand provides evidence of better results for hospitals with a large volume of ...

An Elastic Scaling Method for Cloud Security
Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transaction, 2014 Cloud computing is being adopted in critical sectors such as transport, energy and finance. This makes cloud computing services critical in themselves. When cyber attacks and cyber disruptions happen, millions of users are affected. A cyber disruption in this context means a temporary or permanent loss of service, with impact on users of the cloud ...

Analysis of a micro piezoelectric vibration energy harvester by nonlocal elasticity theory
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016 A theoretical model of a micro piezoelectric energy harvester is proposed based on the nonlocal elasticity theory, which is operated in the flexural mode for scavenging ambient vibration energy.

Elastic CoCoA: Scaling In to Improve Convergence
CoRR, 2018 In this paper we experimentally analyze the convergence behavior of CoCoA and show, that the number of workers required to achieve the highest convergence rate at any point in time, changes over the course of the training. Based on this observation, we build Chicle, an elastic framework that dynamically adjusts the number of workers based on feedback ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.
