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

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).

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 ...

VNF Availability and SFC Sizing Model for Service Provider Networks

IEEE Access, 2020
This paper considers service provider network design with a view of meeting application availability. Our primary goal is to design a service provider network using disparate network components and low-availability Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) while ...

Sustainable placement of VNF chains in Intent-based Networking

Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing, 2023
Intent-based networking (IBN) aims at automatically driving network configurations and operations to fulfil high-level intents specified by infrastructure providers and application operators. Deploying Virtual Network Function (VNF) chains onto the available network resources is a way to model and fulfil intents.

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.

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)

Nutraceutical Blends Promote Weight Loss, Inflammation Reduction, and Better Sleep: The Role of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in Overweight Adults–A Double‐Blind Trial

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 69, Issue 17, September 2025.
This study explored how a 90‐day nutraceutical blend with prebiotics, minerals, and silymarin affects the gut‐brain axis in overweight adults. Results showed improved gut microbiota, reduced inflammation, and better sleep, mood, and quality of life, suggesting a strong link between gut health and mental well‐being.
