Analyzing Color, Surface Roughness, and Microhardness on the Unpolished and Polished Surfaces of Occlusal Splint Materials From Conventional and CAD–CAM Fabrication Methods

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Purpose To evaluate the color, surface roughness, and microhardness of occlusal splints fabricated using conventional and CAD–CAM techniques and to compare the properties of the unpolished and polished surfaces. Materials and Methods A total of 114 specimens (10 × 10 × 5 mm3) were prepared, including one group each of self‐cured (SC) and heat‐cured (HC)

VNF-P: A model for efficient placement of virtualized network functions [PDF]

10th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM) and Workshop, 2014
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is an upcoming paradigm where network functionality is virtualized and split up into multiple building blocks that can be chained together to provide the required functionality. This approach increases network flexibility and scalability as these building blocks can be allocated and reallocated at runtime ...

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

A Comprehensive Survey on LLM‐Based Network Management and Operations

International Journal of Network Management, Volume 35, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT The growing demands for network capacity and the increasing complexities of modern network environments pose significant challenges for effective network management and operations. In response, network operators and administrators are moving beyond traditional manual and rule‐based methods, adopting advanced artificial intelligence (AI)‐driven

Impact of CoMP VNF placement on 5G Coordinated Scheduling performance [PDF]

2017 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC), 2017
To address demanding requirements in terms of expected throughput, latency and scalability, 5G networks will offer high capacity to support huge volumes of traffic generated by heterogeneous services. Dense deployment of small cells can provide a valid solution but are prone to high levels of interference especially at the cell-edge. However, to reduce

Process Evaluation of a School‐Based Intervention Promoting Sleep Health in Adolescents: A Mixed‐Methods Study

Journal of School Health, Volume 95, Issue 11, Page 944-954, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Poor sleep health is increasingly recognized as a public health issue. Despite the potential of school‐based interventions, few have successfully improved adolescent sleep health. To enhance intervention effectiveness, feasibility, and relevance, it is essential to understand barriers and facilitators affecting the adoption ...

Adaptive placement & chaining of virtual network functions with NFV-PEAR

Journal of Internet Services and Applications, 2019
The design of flexible and efficient mechanisms for proper placement and chaining of virtual network functions (VNFs) is key for the success of Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Most state-of-the-art solutions, however, consider fixed (and immutable)

From temperate to polar waters: Transition to non‐cyanobacterial diazotrophy upon entering the Atlantic gateway of the Arctic Ocean

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 2924-2940, October 2025.
Abstract Nitrogen fixation, the microbial reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia, is increasingly recognized to occur in the Arctic Ocean. However, knowledge about the composition, biogeography, abundance, and ecology of nitrogen‐fixing organisms (diazotrophs) is poor.
