Caching and Neutrality

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...

Graph signal processing tailored for subgraph focus and community structure

Miljan Petrovic

Community structure in graph-modeled data appears in a range of disciplines that comprise network science. Its importance relies on the influence it bears on other properties of graphs such as resilience, or prediction of missing connections. Nevertheless, ...

Nutrient pollution enhances productivity and framework dissolution in algae- but not in coral-dominated reef communities

Nils Rädecker, Hal Hunt Jones II

Ecosystem services provided by coral reefs may be susceptible to the combined effects of benthic species shifts and anthropogenic nutrient pollution, but related field studies are scarce. We thus investigated in situ how dissolved inorganic nutrient enrich ...

Quantitative modeling of human metabolism: A call for a community effort

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon

Metabolism is the process by which cells and organisms obtain nutrients and energy to perform their functions. In the last years, many human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiac diseases, have been associated with altered metabolism. Understan ...

Strain-level diversity drives alternative community types in millimetre-scale granular biofilms

Christof Holliger

Microbial communities are often highly diverse in their composition, both at a coarse-grained taxonomic level, such as genus, and at a highly resolved level, such as strains, within species. This variability can be driven by either extrinsic factors such a ...

Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events

Vincent Jung, Thomas Spiegelberger

Climate change is expected to increase the magnitude and the frequency of extreme climatic events such as droughts. Better understanding how plant communities will respond to these droughts is a major challenge. We expect the response to be a shift in func ...
