Optimised approach for VNF embedding in NFV [PDF]

IET Communications, 2018
The Virtual Network Function (VNF) embedding problem is important for service provision in the context of Network Function Virtualisation (NFV). However, this problem is proved to be NP‐hard and challenging, and requires to be explored further. In this study, the authors first formulate it as an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model for optimal ...

Coming out of the cold: Vanadium is an important player in N‐fixation in warm tropical environments

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N)‐fixation is a crucial source of reactive N in terrestrial environments. The nitrogenase enzyme (Nase), responsible for this conversion, has three isoforms: molybdenum (Mo)‐, vanadium (V)‐, and iron (Fe)‐Nases. The Mo‐Nase is found in all N‐fixers, but the distribution pattern and drivers of V‐ and Fe‐Nases remain poorly understood.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists for the Prevention of New‐Onset Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Placebo‐Controlled Randomized Clinical Trials

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RA) improve outcomes in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction. Whether GLP‐1 RA prevent new‐onset HF in Type 2 diabetes or obesity requires further investigation. Methods We performed an updated meta‐analysis of randomized placebo‐controlled trials (RCT) of treatment ...

Strategic Key Performance Indicators for AI in Lead Optimization

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.
As AI becomes an integral assistant in lead optimization, measuring its true value requires a shift from technical metrics to strategic key performance indicators (KPIs). This perspective from the EFMC2 initiative recommends specific, impact‐oriented KPIs to objectively assess how digital tools enhance decision‐making and impact top‐line results.
