A Cache Architecture for Counting Bloom Filters: Theory and Application by Mahmood Ahmadi, Stephan Wong

“…To test the CCBF architecture, we implement a software packet classifier that utilizes basic tuple space search using a 3-level CCBF. The results of mathematical analysis and implementation of the CCBF for packet classification show that the proposed cache architecture decreases the number of memory accesses when compared to a standard Bloom filter. …”

Prevalence and dynamics of antimicrobial resistance in pioneer and developing Arctic soils by Shamik Roy, Robin A. Dawson, James A. Bradley, Marcela Hernández

“…We aimed to determine whether, how, and why AMR varies with soil age in recently deglaciated pioneer and developing Arctic soils using a space-for-time approach. Specifically, we assess how the magnitude and spread of AMR changes with soil development stages, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). …”
