Random topology has been an increasingly favorable approach for designing interconnection networks, as it can provide a combination of low latency and incremental network growth that could not be provided by the traditional rigid topologies. However, the common shortest-path routing in a random interconnect poses a scalability problem, for it requires global network info to make routing decisions and so, the routing table size (RTS) can be very large. Therefore, this manuscript would aim to revisit the well-known research area of landmark-based compact routing and to improve the universal routing schemes for the specific case of random interconnects. It would propose new landmark-based compact routing schemes, using 2 heuristic techniques to select landmarks that are evenly spaced, which would reduce the RTS in the well-known Thorup and Zwick's scheme by up to 18% and produce a shorter average path length.

The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, caused lethal human respiratory infections, and there is a big problem to control the disease. The application of other viruses to compete with the novel coronavirus was proposed in this paper. On the viewpoint of receptor competition, resource competition, and cross immunity, an attempt should be made to select a natural virus, such as the common coronavirus causing the common cold in human, or transform a virus with biotechnology in order to resist the novel coronavirus. Similar scenarios were suggested to deal with other viruses like human immunodeficiency virus. Microecological communities of viruses could form an independent research area to dig the deeper biological and medical significance. The present study provided the information to further the theoretical implication and medical application of the study of virus interactions.

We propose a deadlock-free routing scheme in irregular networks using prefix routing. Prefix routing is a special type of routing with a compact routing table associated with each node (processor). Basically, each outgoing channel of a node is assigned a special label and an outgoing channel is selected if its label is a prefix of the label of the destination node. Node and channel labeling in an irregular network is done through constructing a spanning tree. The routing process follows a two-phase process of going up and then down along the spanning tree, with a possible cross channel (shortcut) between two branches of the tree between two phases. We show that the proposed routing scheme is deadlock- and livelock-free. We also compare prefix routing with the existing up*/down* routing which has been widely used in irregular networks. Possible extensions are also discussed.

Abstract This contribution describes the experiences with three careers: leading and building an academic research institute, heading a research area in a multinational pharma company and founding and leading a biotech company, which saw its first drug successfully enter the market in its 11th year of existence. The three positions had very different challenges, the common denominator for success was good and innovative science. However, research in a commercial environment, in addition to scientific excellence, also means to demonstrate the likely commercial success of the particular research. The most challenging, but at the same time the most interesting mission was the foundation of a new company, securing the financial means and developing the drugs, which had been discovered, in the clinics.

Objectives: A bibliometric approach using network analysis was applied to identify the development and research trends for moxibustion. This study also examined the network hub of moxibustion research by investigating the collaborative work of organizations and authors. Methods: Academic articles on moxibustion research published from 2000 to 2019 were retrieved from the Web of Science database. Extracted records were analyzed according to publication year, research area, journal title, country, organization, and authors. The VOSviewer program was utilized to visualize the trends in moxibustion research and to explore the influential organizations and authors. Results: Analyses of 1146 original and review articles written in English demonstrated that the number of publications related to moxibustion research has increased consistently over the last 20 years. China issued the most articles in this field, and the most represented research area was integrative complementary medicine. A network analysis based on the co-occurrence and publication year of keywords identified the relevant characteristics and trends of moxibustion research. By assessing the total link strength of organizations and authors, influential organizations and authors who have contributed to moxibustion research were identified. Conclusions: The current study examined research on moxibustion using bibliometric analysis and identified a time-based development of moxibustion research and a global network hub of moxibustion research.
