SNPs detection by eBWT positional clustering
2019
Sequencing technologies keep on turning cheaper and faster, thus putting a growing pressure for data structures designed to efficiently store raw data, and possibly perform analysis therein. In this view, there is a growing interest in alignment-free and reference-free variants calling methods that only make use of (suitably indexed) raw reads data. We develop the positional clustering theory that (i) describes how the extended Burrows–Wheeler Transform (eBWT) of a collection of reads tends to cluster together bases that cover the same genome position (ii) predicts the size of such clusters, and (iii) exhibits an elegant and precise LCP array based procedure to locate such clusters in the e…
A new Three Color Marker for TCP flows
2004
In Differentiated Services networks, packets may receive a different treatment according to their Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) label. As a consequence, packet marking schemes can be devised to differentiate packets belonging to a same TCP flow, with the goal of improving the experienced performance. This paper presents an extensive performance evaluation of a new adaptive packet marking scheme, which relies on three different service classes, provided by the DiffServ network. The scheme provides protection of vulnerable packets in the TCP flows and adaptivity through "probes" packets. The performance have been evaluted in a traffic scenario composed of TCP flows with different …
Couch potato -kandidaattigeenissä esiintyvän mutaation vaikutus Drosophila montana -naaraiden lisääntymislepokauteen
2010
Diapaussi on fysiologinen lepotila, jonka aikana eliön elintoiminnot, kasvu ja kehitys hidastuvat ja ääriolosuhteiden, kuten alhaisten lämpötilojen ja kuivuuden, sietokyky paranee. Lisääntymislepokaudella tarkoitetaan aikuisilla hyönteisillä esiintyvää diapaussin muotoa, jonka aikana lisääntymiseen liittyvät toiminnot hidastuvat tai pysähtyvät kokonaan. Drosophila melanogaster -lajin lisääntymislepokauteen on liitetty useita kandidaattigeenejä, joista yksi on couch potato (cpo), ja tämän geenin yhteydestä lisääntymislepokauteen on saatu viitteitä myös pohjoisella D. montana -lajilla. Pro gradu -työssäni tarkasteltiin cpo-geenissä esiintyvän 19 emäsparin kokoisen deleetiomutaation yleisyyttä…
The Value of a Complete Blood Count (CBC) for Sepsis Diagnosis and Prognosis.
2021
Sepsis represents an important global health burden due to its high mortality and morbidity. The rapid detection of sepsis is crucial in order to prevent adverse outcomes and reduce mortality. However, the diagnosis of sepsis is still challenging and many efforts have been made to identify reliable biomarkers. Unfortunately, many investigated biomarkers have several limitations that do not support their introduction in clinical practice, such as moderate diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, long turn-around time, and high-costs. Complete blood count represents instead a precious test that provides a wealth of information on individual health status. It can guide clinicians to early-identify …

Solid phase extraction materials as a key for improving the accuracy of silver nanoparticle characterization with single-particle inductively coupled…
2022
The accurate characterization of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in environmental samples is crucial for understanding the potential impact of these materials on the environment and human health. Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) is one of the few techniques available for quantifying NPs at environmentally relevant concentrations. However, the spICP-MS detection of Ag NPs can be interfered with coexisting dissolved analyte causing high background signals, which mask NP signals leading to a significant bias in NP characterization. In this paper, a simple sample pre-treatment procedure for efficient removal of dissolved silver in natural waters is proposed …
Hiilen taustavaikutukset muovien lisäaineille induktiivisesti kytketyssä plasmassa
2017
Tässä tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin hiilen matriisivaikutuksia induktiivisesti kytkettyä plasmaa (ICP) hyödyntävissä analyysimenetelmissä. Kirjallisessa osassa on tarkasteltu erilaisia kiinteiden näytteiden esikäsittelymenetelmiä kiinnittäen huomiota jäännöshiilimääriin. Lisäksi läpi käydään ICP-tekniikoiden teoriaa, laitteistoa ja häiriöitä, painotuksen ollessa hiilen aiheuttamissa ongelmatekijöissä. Kokeellisessa osassa tutkittiin onko hiilellä merkittäviä vaikutuksia muovien hivenaineille (As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Sb, Sn, Zn, S) sellaisissa pitoisuuksissa, joita jäännöshiilipitoisuudelta voidaan odottaa kiinteiden näytteiden esikäsittelyn jälkeen. Jäljitellen sertifioituja muovimateriaaleja valmiste…
Influences of social stress in the rewarding effects of mdma and alcohol
2015
La adicción a las drogas es un importante problema en nuestra sociedad con graves consecuencias jurídicas, médicas y sociales para los consumidores. Se trata de un trastorno caracterizado por la pérdida de control sobre el uso de la droga, su búsqueda compulsiva y la aparición de un estado emocional negativo en ausencia de la misma. El alcohol es la droga legal más consumida tanto por adultos como por adolescentes. Por otra parte, entre las sustancias ilegales, los datos epidemiológicos apuntan que el éxtasis o MDMA es una sustancia ampliamente consumida entre los adolescentes y adultos jóvenes sobre todo en fiestas “rave” donde los consumidores pasan horas, incluso días, haciendo uso de es…
Data from: Fishing pressure impacts the abundance gradient of European lobsters across the borders of a newly established marine protected area
2018
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are considered as viable fisheries management tools due to their potential benefits of adult spillover and recruitment subsidy to nearby fisheries. However, before-after-control-impact (BACI) studies that explore the biological and fishery effects of MPAs to surrounding fisheries are scarce. We present results from a fine-scale spatial gradient study conducted before and after the implementation of a 5km2 lobster MPA in southern Norway. A significant non-linear response in lobster abundance, estimated as catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) from experimental fishing, was detected within two years of protection. After 4 years, CPUE values inside the MPA had increased by…
