Testing of laser ablation ion source for JYFLTRAP
2015
In this work, we have constructed and tested a laser ablation ion source for JYFLTRAP Penning trap at the IGISOL (Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-line) facility. The calibration of the Penning trap parameters requires reference ions or ion clusters that have well-known masses with relatively small mass uncertainty. These ions and ion clusters can be created with certain solid targets, which contain large amounts of isotopes of reference masses and by using a laser for target ablation. In this work simulations of ion source parameters, construction, testing and improving a laser ablation ion source setup have been done. Targets with relatively large abundances of 63Cu and 65Cu, 85Rb, 87Rb, 11…
Measuring the non-linear hydrodynamic response of higher flow harmonics in Pb-Pb at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV
2017
Ultrarelativistisissa raskasionitörmäyksissä syntyvän kvarkki-gluoniplasman (QGP) dynamiikkaa on relativistisella hydrodynamiikalla kuvattu erittäin vakuuttavasti. Teorian vapaa parametri, keskimääräinen viskositeetti-entropiasuhde, on kuitenkin vielä tarkasti määrittämättä. Alustamalla törmäyksen alkutila teoreettisesti sekä soveltamalla relativistista hydrodynamiikkaa QGP:n evoluution mallintamiseen, saadaan viskositeettia tarkastelemalla käsitys QGP:n rakennesosien välisten vuorovaikutusten vahvuuksista, minkä lisäksi voidaan ymmärtää plasman evoluutioon vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Tavanomaisesti QGP:n viskositeetti määritetään vertailemalla teoreettisen alkutilan eksentrisyyden lineaarista s…

Exploration of jet substructure using iterative declustering in pp and Pb–Pb collisions at LHC energies
2020
The ALICE collaboration at the CERN LHC reports novel measurements of jet substructure in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 7 TeV and central Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV. Jet substructure of track-based jets is explored via iterative declustering and grooming techniques. We present the measurement of the momentum sharing of two-prong substructure exposed via grooming, the $z_{\rm{g}}$, and its dependence on the opening angle, in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions. We also present the first measurement of the distribution of the number of branches obtained in the iterative declustering of the jet, which is interpreted as the number of its hard splittings. In Pb-Pb collisions, we…
Laboratory formation of a scaled protostellar jet by coaligned poloidal magnetic field
2014
International audience; Although bipolar jets are seen emerging from a wide variety of astrophysical systems, the issue of their formation and morphology beyond their launching is still under study. Our scaled laboratory experiments, representative of young stellar object outflows, reveal that stable and narrow collimation of the entire flow can result from the presence of a poloidal magnetic field whose strength is consistent with observations. The laboratory plasma becomes focused with an interior cavity. This gives rise to a standing conical shock from which the jet emerges. Following simulations of the process at the full astrophysical scale, we conclude that it can also explain recentl…
Brief interventions in counselling for nutrition and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in primary care adult patients
2018
This research i) examined the influence of a brief nutrition-based intervention among primary care patients in changing nutrition and clinical values related to metabolic syndrome (study 1), and ii) assessed nutrition and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its clinical determinants among primary care patients in different sociodemographic groups (study 2). In study 1, a systematic literature review was conducted on eight databases during Sept.-Oct. 2016 with a final update in Nov. 2017. In study 2, data (n=557 for RO II-III, n=251 for RO IV-V) collected in primary care practices in Central Finland in 2006-2008 for the EVI study were analysed using Chi-Square test, GLM and Logistic Reg…
Plasma polyunsaturated fatty acids are directly associated with cognition in overweight children but not in normal weight children
2016
Aim Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential nutrients for the normal development of the brain. We investigated the associations between plasma polyunsaturated fatty acids and cognition in normal weight and overweight children. Methods The study recruited 386 normal weight children and 58 overweight children aged six to eight years and blood samples were drawn after a 12-hour fast. We assessed plasma polyunsaturated fatty acids using gas chromatography, cognition using Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices, and overweight and obesity using the age-specific and sex-specific cut-offs from the International Obesity Task Force. The data were analysed by linear regression analyses adjusted for …
