Security-Aware Service Function Chaining and Embedding With Asymmetric Dedicated Protection
IEEE AccessIn the 5G and beyond 5G networks, achieving security-aware data transmission needs to convert clients ’ requests into a service function chain (SFC), each service function (SF) providing a certain security guarantee.

Queue-Aware Dynamic Placement of Virtual Network Functions in 5G Access Network
IEEE Access, 2018 With the development of network function virtualization technology, virtual network functions (VNFs) can be chained to provide different services for users in fifth generation access networks. Under the condition of a large number of various user service

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 10495-10512, December 2025.ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) is championed as a sustainability solution, promoting reuse, recycling and resource efficiency to reduce environmental harm. However, CE innovations can trigger a rebound effect (RE), where lower costs stimulate higher consumption and production, paradoxically negating sustainability gains.

Homogeneous Soil Moisture Fields Suppress Sahelian MCS Frequency
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.Abstract Understanding controls on Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) is critical for predicting rainfall extremes across scales. Spatial variability of soil moisture (SM) presents such a control, with ∼ ${\sim} $200 km dry patches in the Sahel observed to intensify mature MCSs.
