Infectious disease testing of UK-bound refugees: a population-based, cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Medicine, 2018
Background The UK, like a number of other countries, has a refugee resettlement programme. External factors, such as higher prevalence of infectious diseases in the country of origin and circumstances of travel, are likely to increase the infectious ...

Service Migration in a Distributed Virtualization System

open access: yesJournal of Computer Science and Technology, 2021
Cloud applications are usually formed by different components (microservices) that may be located in different virtual and/or physical computers. To achieve the desired level of performance, availability, scalability, and robustness in this kind of system developers are forced to maintain and configure complex sets of infrastructure, platforms and ...

Migration: Ecosystem Services Helicoptered In [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2019
There are some strange tales in the history of Natural History, and few more so than the story of animal migration. It took centuries to work out some of the astonishing features of bird migration: now a new study of hoverflies points out some more that occur among the insects.

Towards a Fast Service Migration in 5G [PDF]

open access: yes2018 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN), 2018
The development of the 5G technology has been driven by the need for faster and higher-capacity networks that would be able to sustain modern, high-demanding applications and low-latency communication. For achieving such requirements, the services should be shifted towards the vicinity of the users as much as possible.

Service Migration Protocol for NFC Links [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In future ubiquitous communication environments, users expect to move freely while continuously interacting with the available applications through a variety of devices. Interactive applications will therefore need to support migration, which means to follow users and adapt to the changing context of use while preserving state.
