Nivelen luu-rustorajapinnan mikrometritason kudosmuutoksien tutkiminen nivelrikon eri vaiheissa
No full textAbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease that causes disability in the adult population. While the etiology and pathogenesis of OA remain unclear, it is now commonly accepted that the entire joint is affected by OA. The deep zone of hyaline articular cartilage, calcified cartilage, and cortical subchondral bone plate form the osteochondral junction that is specially adapted to transferring loads during weight-bearing and joint motion. Although the OA-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral trabecular bone have been extensively studied, the changes in the osteochondral junction, especially in the calcified cartilage, remain under explored.Calcified cartilage is a relatively thin tissue layer and has a similar mineral phase to the underlying bone. Hence, it is a major challenge to quantitively study calcified cartilage separately from the whole osteochondral junction, due to the limitations in spatial resolution and the contrast of current microscopic imaging modalities. Therefore, this doctoral dissertation aims to study the biochemical composition, mineral crystal structure, micromechanical and structural properties of calcified cartilage, and the subchondral bone plate in healthy and osteoarthritic knee joints in vitro.Raman microspectroscopy was used to investigate biochemical composition from unfixed and fully hydrated human osteochondral specimens. State-of-the-art micro-focus small-angle X-ray scattering (μSAXS) measurements were performed to map the mineral crystal thickness across the junction. Finally, a bovine patella model was utilized to explore the micromechanical changes in the junction as a function of degeneration and associate these changes with site-specific microstructure.Results show that calcified cartilage had a higher degree of mineralization, with thicker mineral crystals having greater stoichiometric perfection in a proteoglycan-rich matrix than underlying bone. The alterations in the degree of mineralization, type-B carbonate substitutions, mineral crystal thickness, tissue stiffness, and microstructure in both calcified cartilage and subchondral bone plate were observed during OA development. Some of these changes were found to occur at the very early stages of OA. In conclusion, this study shows that both mineralized tissues at the osteochondral junction undergo marked alterations during the evolution of OA, contributing to our current understanding of OA.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Das Gupta, S., Finnilä, M.

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
Get PDFThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Blockchain-based authentication and authorization for smart city applications
No full textThe platforms supporting the smart city applications are rarely implemented from scratch by a municipality and/or totally owned by a single company, but are more typically realized by integrating some existing ICT infrastructures thanks to a supporting platform, such as the well known FIWARE platform. Such a multi-tenant deployment model is required to lower the initial investment costs to implement large scale solutions for smart cities, but also imposes some key security obstacles. In fact, smart cities support critical applications demanding to protect the data and functionalities from malicious and unauthorized uses. Equipping the supporting platforms with proper means for access control is demanding, but these means are typically implemented according to a centralized approach, where a single server stores and makes available a set of identity attributes and authorization policies. Having a single root of trust is not suitable in a distributed and cooperating scenario of large scale smart cities due to their multi-tenant deployment. In fact, each of the integrated system has its own set of security policies, and the other systems need to be aware of these policy, in order to allow a seamless use of the same credentials across the overall infrastructure (realizing what is known as the single-sign-on). This imposes the problem of consistent and secure data replicas within a distributed system, which can be properly approached by using the blockchain technology. Therefore, this work proposes a novel solution for distributed management of identity and authorization policies by leveraging on the blockchain technology to hold a global view of the security policies within the system, and integrating it in the FIWARE platform. A detailed assessment is provided to evaluate the goodness of the proposed approach and to compare it with the existing solutions

Securing digital ecosystems: Harnessing the power of intelligent machines in a secure and sustainable environment
No full textIndustries are evolving towards an integral digitisation of their processes. In the face of ever-faster market demands and ever-increasing quality, information technology (IT) progress represents the only solution to these needs. Industry 4.0 was born with this focus, where cybernetic systems interact with each other to achieve, efficiently, a predetermined goal. The whole process takes place with minimal, or in some cases total, absence of human intervention, leaving the systems to interact in full autonomy. This approach commonly falls under the internet of things (IoT) paradigm, in which all objects, regardless of size and functionality, are connected in a standard network exchanging information. In this sense, objects acquire intelligence because they can modify their behaviours based on the data they receive and transmit
