Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Application of Network Function Virtualization in Modern Computer Environments Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Živko Bojović Description An account of the resource The Internet's exponential growth is driven by the development and emergence of advanced technologies, attended by a flood of new services. The maturity of these technologies is a decisive factor in the progress of the entire telecom industry, leading to a profound transformation of computer networks from traditional, hardware-centric functions to flexible, software-based solutions. Network function virtualization (NFV), together with software-defined networking (SDN) and cloud computing, are not just key enablers, but they are the basis of more programmable networks that are able to adapt to the evolving requirements of diverse customers, ensuring a promising future for the Internet. This future implies the efficient collaboration of different software components, with the aim of improving flexibility, scalability, and the overall agility of the network. Numerous researchers and professionals today focus their research on finding solutions for the resource, service, security, and other orchestration types and further automation of the processes. The monograph focuses on the following contents: - Shortcomings in traditional networks and the primary motives and benefits of NFV implementation in network infrastructure - Fundamentals and the key components of the ETSI NFV framework - The virtualization techniques and their application in modern computing environments, with an accent on the characteristics and functionality of virtual entities (virtual machines and containers) - Containerization technology: creation and characteristics of various containers, and their orchestration and usage of the Kubernetes platform for the management of containerized workloads and services - The basic principles of NFV-based network design and the path for migration from traditional to NFV-based architecture - SDN technology, including architecture, protocols, use cases, and integration with NFV in modern networks - The role of virtualization in the clouds' architectures, types, and delivery models - Key service chaining strategies and standardized architecture for SFC deployment and SDN/NFV-based architecture for SFC deployment - The key principles of network slicing in networks with implemented NFV and SDN The monograph offers a practical blend of theoretical considerations and practical NFV implementation in modern computer environments. It is a valuable resource for students, engineers, and researchers looking for a comprehensive guide to further network softwarization and building a highly programmable, scalable, and software-based network infrastructure.

Title A name given to the resource Application of response surface methodology for optimizing the pre-processing conditions of bambara groundnut (Voandzei subterranea) during canning Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Agnes Simpson Budu, Alan Bullock Merson Description An account of the resource Bambara groundnut (Voandzei subterranea) seeds were canned with the objective of investigating the optimal pre-processing conditions that would yield the best quality canned product from it. Pre-canning procedures such as blanching time, soaking time and sodium hexametaphosphate [(NaPO3) 6] salt concentration were used as the independent variables for a Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD). The pre-processing parameters obtained from the CCRD for k= 3 were used for the canning of the bambara groundnuts and the quality characteristics (moisture content, pH of the drained liquid, drained weight, splitting of the seeds, leached solids and seed hardness) of the canned products were studied using response surface methodology. Regression models were generated using regression analysis and used for the plotting of response surface curves.

Title A name given to the resource Application of response surface methodology for studying the product characteristics of extruded rice-cowpea-groundnut... Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Response surface methodology (with central composite rotatable design for k0/3) was used to investigate the product properties of extruded riceÁ/cowpeaÁ/groundnut blends in a single screw extruder. The combined effect of cowpea (0Á/20%), groundnut (0Á/10%), and feed moisture (14Á/48%) levels were used for formulation of the products. The product moisture, expansion ratio, bulk density and total colour change were studied using standard analytical methods. Well-expanded riceÁ/legume blend extrudates of less bulk density and lower moisture content were produced at low feed moisture. Increasing legume addition affected the various shades of colour in the product. Models developed for the indices gave R2 values ranging from 52.8%(for the b-value) to 86.5%(for bulk density). The models developed suggested that the optimal process variables for the production of a puffed snack with an enhanced nutrition and spongy structure from a riceÁ/cowpeaÁ/groundnut blend are low feed moisture of 14Á/20% and maximum additions of 20% cowpea and 10% groundnut. A lack-of-fit test showed no significance, indicating that the models adequately fitted the data.

Title A name given to the resource Application of response surface methodology for studying the quality characteristics of cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Beatrice Cornelius, Esther Sakyi-Dawson, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Studies were conducted on the chemical and functional properties of fermented cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize using response surface methodology. The central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of lime concentration (0–1%), moisture content (55–65%) and cowpea level (0–30%) on pH, titratable acidity, water absorption, protein and viscosity of fermented nixtamalized maize. Regression models were developed to predict the variables. The presence of lime and cowpea influenced the pH, titratable acidity, water absorption, protein content and the cooked paste viscosity of the fermented cowpea-fortified maize. The presence of lime during fermentation generally decreased titratable acidity, water absorption and cooked paste viscosity while the addition of cowpea increased most of the studied indices.
