This paper reports and demonstrates a packetponder for access/metro node consolidation and aggregation using common-form-factor pluggables (CFFP), which can simplify edge network architectures.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether malnutrition or nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) affect the possibility of returning to work after treatment for head and neck cancer. Methods: Patients of working age with head and neck cancer were followed up from treatment initiation to 3 months (n = 238), 1 year (n = 182), and 2 years (n = 130) after treatment completion. The observed decrease in

Bark beetle infestations pose a significant threat to forest ecosystems, necessitating timely intervention for effective management and conservation. This study focuses on an 8,100 km2 area in southern Sweden, heavily impacted by a bark beetle outbreak triggered by a severe drought in 2018. Using spectral indices derived from Sentinel-2 data, it explores the potential of a window-based approach fo

Generation Z (Gen Z) will soon become the biggest living generation and the most dominant in terms of population and economic power, making them one of the tourism industry’s fastest-growing segments and a crucial market to target. There is growing evidence that Gen Z is concerned about the environmental and social effects of their consumption and is guided by strong ethical and environmental idea

Introduction: Children born preterm are at increased risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Music and reading activities in childhood could ameliorate these difficulties, as they have shown benefits on both neural and behavioral levels. However, only a few studies have assessed these potential benefits in preterm-born children. We investigated whether music and language activities in early

Objectives: It has been belived that changes in diastolic blood velocities in the fetal ductus venosus were due to increased central venous pressure secondary to increased fetal heart strain during hypoxia or heart failure. There have been recent reports of changes in ductus venosus blood velocity without signs of increased fetal heart strain. The aim of this evaluation was to compare blood veloci

Robotic systems for manipulation tasks are increasingly expected to be easy to configure for new tasks. While in the past, robot programs were often written statically and tuned manually, the current, faster transition times call for robust, modular and interpretable solutions that also allow a robotic system to learn how to perform a task. We propose the method Behavior-based Bayesian Optimizatio

Background and purpose: Although the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose – positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) for breast cancer (BC) has been well studied, few studies have evaluated the impact of 18F-FDG-PET/CT on BC patient care. This study aimed to investigate restaging and 18F-FDG-PET/CT-induced changes in clinical decision-making in patients with BC. M

Background: Access to sample-level metadata is important when selecting public metagenomic sequencing datasets for reuse in new biological analyses. The Standards, Precautions, and Advances in Ancient Metagenomics community (SPAAM, https://spaam-community.org) has previously published AncientMetagenomeDir, a collection of curated and standardised sample metadata tables for metagenomic and microbia

Graphical models use graphs to represent conditional independence structure in the distribution of a random vector. In stochastic processes, graphs may represent so-called local independence or conditional Granger causality. Under some regularity conditions, a local independence graph implies a set of independences using a graphical criterion known as δ-separation, or using its generalization, µ-s

INTRODUCTION: Numerous studies have characterised trajectories of asthma and allergy in children using machine learning, but with different techniques and mixed findings. The present work aimed to summarise the evidence and critically appraise the methodology.METHODS: 10 databases were searched. Screening, data extraction and quality assessment were performed in pairs. Trajectory characteristics w

Platinum-tin catalysts have been used industrially for decades, but their structural evolution under reaction conditions and the causes of their improved activity relative to platinum are still not well understood. In this study, we investigate Sn/Pt(111) and Sn/Pt(223) surface alloys during oxygen exposure and catalytic CO oxidation using grazing incidence X-ray absorption spectroscopy (GI-XAS).

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To evaluate the benefits and harms of financial incentives for improving family engagement on family members of neonates receiving hospitalized care.

Photodoped states in strongly correlated charge-Transfer insulators are characterized by d-d and d-p interactions and the resulting intertwined dynamics of charge excitations and local multiplets. Here, we use femtosecond x-ray absorption spectroscopy in combination with dynamical mean-field theory to disentangle these contributions in NiO. Upon resonant optical excitation across the charge-Transf

In additive manufacturing, the presence of residual stresses in produced parts is a well-recognized phenomenon. These residual stresses not only elevate the risk of crack formation but also impose limitations on in-service performance. Moreover, it can distort printed parts if released, or in the worst case even cause a build to fail due to collision with the powder scraper. This study introduces

Road traffic accidents cause nearly 1.3 million deaths and around 50 million injuries each year globally. Most organisations generate travel and transport, and influence thereby traffic safety. In Sweden, 47 percent of fatal accidents in road traffic are work-related, and 36 percent are linked to a procured transport service. Effective approaches to managing traffic safety in organisations have no

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play an important role in cellular signaling and have been implicated in human cancers, diabetes, and obesity. Despite shared catalytic mechanisms and transition states for the chemical steps of catalysis, catalytic rates within the PTP family vary over several orders of magnitude. These rate differences have been implied to arise from differing conformational
