Effects of SGLT2 inhibitors across the spectrum of albuminuria in cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic conditions: A pooled analysis of randomised trials

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 1105-1115, February 2026.
Abstract Background Albuminuria is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and kidney events. Sodium glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce albuminuria and improve kidney outcomes in patients with albuminuric chronic kidney disease (CKD).

VNF-AAP: Accelerator-aware Virtual Network Function Placement [PDF]

2019 IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks (NFV-SDN), 2019
Network Function Virtualization aims to migrate packet-processing tasks from special-purpose appliances to Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) running on x86 or ARM servers. However, achieving the line-rate packet-processing for VNFs running on CPUs can be a challenging task.

Forest Loss Influences Biomass Distribution Across Trophic Groups of Amazonian Stream Insects

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in resource availability caused by deforestation can negatively impact freshwater ecosystems, with implications for trophic chains. We investigated both the direct and indirect effects of forest cover and allochthonous resource availability on the biomass distribution of larvae of aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera

Service Function Chain Update and Buffer Scheduling Model With State Consistency

IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
A service function chain (SFC) is a set of virtualized network functions (VNFs) concatenated in a virtualized network. Paths of SFCs need to be updated to achieve load balancing and security.

VNF modeling towards the cloud-RAN implementation

2017 International Conference on Networked Systems (NetSys), 2017
—We address in this paper the problem of modeling Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in order to devise execution principles. We specifically represent a VNF as a chain of sub-functions or micro-services and investigate its processing on a multi-core platform. Instead of reserving dedicated resources to a VNF, we specifically examine the gain that can be

Dynamic Hardware-Acceleration of VNFs in NFV Environments [PDF]

2019 Sixth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS), 2019
In this paper, we describe a scheme for dynamically provisioning hardware-accelerator resources to virtual network functions (VNF) in an NFV environment. The scheme involves collaboration between various NFV components like service-specific manager (SSM) and element-management-systems (EMSs) for the management of accelerator resources.

Reimagining Urban River Bathing in Europe: A Multisectoral and Interdisciplinary Dive Into Lyon's Rivers (France)

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 224-241, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban river bathing is re‐emerging across Europe, driven by social demand and climate change impacts. The Urban Bathing Consortium, an interdisciplinary and intersectoral consortium initiated at the University of Lyon (France), is at the forefront of studying the challenges and opportunities of creating and managing healthy, safe, and ...

Balancing the Migration of Virtual Network Functions with Replications in Data Centers

, 2017
The Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm is enabling flexibility, programmability and implementation of traditional network functions into generic hardware, in form of the so-called Virtual Network Functions (VNFs).

Spatial Factors Shape Taxonomic and Functional Beta‐Diversity in Water‐Filled Tree Holes in Different Biogeographical Regions

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
Spatial processes predominantly shape taxonomic and functional β‐diversity of macroinvertebrate communities in water‐filled tree holes in different biogeographical regions, with species richness differences driving both taxonomic and functional patterns overall, while functional turnover was pronounced in the Palaeotropical region.
