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. …”

Clinical and biological significance of estrogen receptor-positive/progesterone receptor-negative in invasive breast cancer: bioinformatic analysis by Maryam Althobiti, Raef Albugami, Mohammed Alnamnakani, Samir Alharbi, Michael Toss, Rajennder Kumar, Fahad Alkhureeb

“…Analysis of the protein-protein interaction networks and gene-gene co-occurrence identified the upregulated hub genes PIP4K2C, CDH1, and CLTC are closely related to key nodes. High PIP4K2C, CDH1, and CLTC expression were associated with more aggressive tumor features (P<0.05) and high PIP4K2C and CDH1 expression were associated with poorer disease-free survival (P<0.05). …”
