Role of context on the perception of syllable composition by French and English listeners as a function of their dominant language by Elise Ryst

“…In the present paper I would like to suggest that the “dominant language” is a more reliable criterion (since a bilingual’s dominant language may switch from L1 to L2 when strongly exposed to the L2 for a long period of time). …”

Intelligent prediction method of virtual network function resource capacity for polymorphic network service slicing by Julong LAN, Di ZHU, Dan LI

“…Objectives:With the emergence and development of new network structures such as polymorphic network,the demand for network resource capacity is becoming more and more diverse.It is very difficult to adjust the distribution of virtual network functions (VNFs) carried on network slices for on-demand,dynamic and efficient resource capacity matching.This paper uses a data-driven VNF resource capacity prediction method to explore the pre-deployment of VNFs carried on network slices. …”
