'Francis M. Jiggins' 'Tom C. Hobman'] Emerging viral diseases are often the product of a host shift, where a pathogen jumps from its original host into a novel species. Phylogenetic studies show that host shifts are a frequent event in the evolution of most pathogens, but why pathogens successfully jump between some…

Wolbachia are among the most prevalent and widespread endosymbiotic bacteria on earth. Wolbachia’ s success in infecting an enormous number of arthropod species is attributed to two features: the range of phenotypes they induce in their hosts, and their ability to switch to new host species. Whilst much progress has…

The host shift in insects has been considered a key process with potential to collaborate with reproductive isolation and speciation. Both genomics and transcriptomics variation has been attributed to such process, in which gene families with functions for host location, acceptance and usage have been proposed to…

Climate-driven geographic range shifts have been associated with transitions between dietary specialism and generalism at range margins. The mechanisms underpinning these often transient niche breadth modifications are poorly known, but utilisation of novel resources likely depends on phenological synchrony between the…

'Joo Ja Kim'] Background Shift work is vital in hotel businesses as these businesses run 24 h daily regardless of holidays to accommodate customers. The number of shift workers in hotel businesses is expected to increase consistently and it is crucial to study the impact of shift work on hotel workers’ mental health.…

One of the most important issues in data stream processing systems is to use operator migration to handle highly variable workloads in a cost-efficient manner and adapt to the needs at any given time on demand. Operator migration is a complex process that involves changes in the state and stream management of a running…

Reconfigurable networks are a novel communication paradigm in which the pattern of connectivity between hosts varies rapidly over time. Prior theoretical work explored the inherent tradeoffs between throughput (or, hop-count) and latency, and showed the existence of infinitely many Pareto-optimal designs as the network…

Immobilization of molecular catalysts onto electrode surfaces using host-guest (HG) interactions enables facile regeneration of electrodes following catalyst degradation. Beyond this practical aspect, the architecture also offers a unique way to study the electronic coupling of molecules to the electrode through a…

Combined molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum mechanics (QM) simulation procedures have gained popularity in modelling the spectral properties of functional organic molecules. However, the potential energy surfaces used to propagate long-time scale dynamics in these simulations are typically described using general…

—Many real-world services can be provided through multiple virtual network function (VNF) graphs, corresponding, e.g., to high- and low-complexity variants of the service itself. Based on this observation, we extend the concept of service scaling in network orchestration to service shifting, i.e., upgrading or…

Complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) is useful for accurately predicting properties of complex electronic structures, but it is well known that it systematically underestimates excitation energies. The underestimation can be corrected using the ionization potential--electron affinity (IPEA)…

'Jing Yuan' 'Tangchun Wu' 'Weihong Chen' 'Thomas Behrens'] Background Shift work has been associated with adverse health effects by disturbing circadian rhythms. However,its potential long-term health effects and the persistent effects after leaving shifts have not been well established. Methods and Results We studied…

—Many real-world services can be provided through multiple VNF graphs, corresponding, e.g., to high- and lowquality variants of the service itself. Based on this observation, we extend the concept of service scaling in network orchestration to service shifting, i.e., switching between the VNF graphs implementing the…

—This paper investigates the opportunities and limitations of adaptive virtual machine (VM) migration to reduce communication costs in a virtualized environment. We introduce a new formal model for the problem of online VM migration in two scenarios: (1) VMs can be migrated arbitrarily in the substrate network; e.g., a…

'Masoud Hajghani' 'Behzad Fouladi Dehaghi'] Introduction: Increasing population, the need for services, and industrialization of societies have led to a growing demand for shift work. Shiftwork causes several disorders, and determining the weight of each disorders is important for their prevention and treatment.…

'Marianna Virtanen' 'Annina Ropponen'] Background In health care, the shift work is arranged as irregular work shifts to provide operational hours for 24/7 care. We aimed to investigate working hour trends and turnover in health care via identification of time-related sequences of work shifts and absences among health…

Shift work (working outside of 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM) is a fixture of our 24-hour economy, with approximately 18 per cent of workers in the USA engaging in shift work, many overnight. Since shift work has been linked to an increased risk for an array of serious maladies, including cardiometabolic disorders and cancer, and…

In everyday tasks, our focus of attention shifts seamlessly between contents in the sensory environment and internal memory representations. Yet, research has mainly considered external and internal attention in isolation. We used magnetoencephalography to compare the neural dynamics of shifting attention to visual…

The SAMPL challenges focus on testing and driving progress of computational methods to help guide pharmaceutical drug discovery. However, assessment of methods for predicting binding affinities is often hampered by computational challenges such as conformational sampling, protonation state uncertainties, variation in…
