Cost-efficient fiber connection topology design for metropolitan area WDM networks by Guan, Kyle C., Chan, Vincent W. S.

“…In this paper, we provide some analytical insights into physical architectures that can serve as benchmarks for designing a cost-efficient WDM metropolitan area network (MAN). For uniform all-to-all traffic and regular topologies with nodal symmetry, we identify a class of regular graphs--Generalized Moore Graphs--that have several attractive properties by formulating a first-order cost model and characterizing the tradeoff between fiber and switching resources. …”

Comparing Precision Machine Learning With Consumer, Quality, and Volume Metrics for Ranking Orthopedic Surgery Hospitals: Retrospective Study by Goyal, D, Guttag, J, Syed, Z, Mehta, R, Elahi, Z, Saeed, M

“…OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to compare differences in outcomes and costs between hospitals ranked using popular internet-based consumer ratings, quality stars, reputation rankings, average volumes, average outcomes, and precision machine learning-based rankings for hospital settings performing hip replacements in a large metropolitan area. METHODS: Retrospective data from 4192 hip replacement surgeries among Medicare beneficiaries in 2018 in a the Chicago metropolitan area were analyzed for variations in outcomes (90-day postprocedure hospitalizations and emergency department visits) and costs (90-day total cost of care) between hospitals ranked through multiple approaches: internet-based consumer ratings, quality stars, reputation rankings, average yearly surgical volume, average outcome rates, and machine learning-based rankings. …”

Finite-key analysis for time-energy high-dimensional quantum key distribution by Furrer, Fabian, Niu, Murphy Yuezhen, Xu, Feihu, Shapiro, Jeffrey H

“…We present numerically evaluated secret-key rates illustrating the feasibility of secure and composable HD-QKD over metropolitan-area distances when the system is subjected to the most powerful eavesdropping attack.…”
