Verification on policies for network functions in SDN/NFV-based environment by Haoyu CHEN, Deqing ZOU, Hai JIN

“…Although the newly introduced SDN and NFV technologies bring flexibility and convenience in network management, the dynamic forwarding policies introduced by SDN may cause invalidation in the network function policies, and the policies in different network functions may also cause conflicts due to their own behaviors.In order to verify the policies in SDN/NFV-based cloud network, the verification on policies between the network function and the SDN device, as well as across the network functions were considered.A unified policy expression for analysis was summarized, and policy verification scheme, framework and prototype implementation were proposed to verify the correctness of polices in different scenarios, then experiments were conducted to justify the effectiveness and performance…”

An Integral Equation for Riemann’s Zeta Function and Its Approximate Solution by Michael Milgram

“…Two identities extracted from the literature are coupled to obtain an integral equation for Riemann’s ξs function and thus ζs indirectly. The equation has a number of simple properties from which useful derivations flow, the most notable of which relates ζs anywhere in the critical strip to its values on a line anywhere else in the complex plane. …”

Tissue-Specific Effects of Bariatric Surgery Including Mitochondrial Function by Simon N. Dankel, Vidar Staalesen, Bodil Bjørndal, Rolf K. Berge, Gunnar Mellgren, Lena Burri

“…In this paper we discuss proposed mechanisms whereby bariatric surgery improves metabolic health, including acute effects on glucose metabolism and long-term effects on metabolic tissues (adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver) and mitochondrial function. More short-term randomized controlled trials should be performed that include simultaneous measurement of metabolic parameters in different tissues, such as tissue gene expression, protein profile, and lipid content. …”
