Frequent items maintaining algorithms in network traffic analysis by DU A-ning, CHENG Xiao-ming

“…Maintaining frequent items in infinite data stream was to produce a list of items with their frequencies exceeding a threshold over a stream of current length n.It was quite useful in network traffic analyzing.After studying the demand of network analyzing systems,a packet stream analyzing model and a definition of frequent items maintaining problem was provided.An improved frequent items maintaining algorithm,which kept the deficient synopsis in limited memory was proposed based on analysis of existing algorithms.Experiments reveal that improved algorithm fulfill the need of high-speed TCP/IP packet stream.…”

Bone Loss Triggered by the Cytokine Network in Inflammatory Autoimmune Diseases by Dulshara Sachini Amarasekara, Jiyeon Yu, Jaerang Rho

“…Bone loss and fracture risk are implicated in inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The network of inflammatory cytokines produced during chronic inflammation induces an uncoupling of bone formation and resorption, resulting in significant bone loss in patients with inflammatory autoimmune diseases. …”
