Reducing the Time to Detect Cyber Attacks : Combining Attack Simulation With Detection Logic

2021

Cyber attacks have become harder to detect, causing the average detection time of a successful data breach to be over six months and typically costing the target organization nearly four million dollars. The attacks are becoming more sophisticated and targeted, leaving unprepared environments easy prey for the attackers. Organizations with working antivirus systems and firewalls may be surprised when they discover their network has been encrypted by a ransomware operator. This raises a serious question, how did the attacks go undetected? The conducted research focuses on the most common pitfalls regarding late or even non-existent detection by defining the root cause behind the failed detec…

Calcium mediated polyelectrolyte adsorption on like-charged surfaces.

2011

International audience; Monte Carlo simulations within the primitive model of calcium-mediated adsorption of linear and comb polyelectrolytes onto like-charged surfaces are described, focusing on the effect of calcium and polyion concentrations as well as on the ion pairing between polymers and calcium ions. We use a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and experimental data from titration and calcium binding to quantify the ion pairing. The polymer adsorption is shown to occur as a result of surface overcharging by Ca2+ and ion pairing between charged monomers and Ca2+. In agreement with experimental observations, the simulations predict that the polymer adsorption isotherm goes through …

Single-cell analysis of population context advances RNAi screening at multiple levels

2012

Isogenic cells in culture show strong variability, which arises from dynamic adaptations to the microenvironment of individual cells. Here we study the influence of the cell population context, which determines a single cell's microenvironment, in image‐based RNAi screens. We developed a comprehensive computational approach that employs Bayesian and multivariate methods at the single‐cell level. We applied these methods to 45 RNA interference screens of various sizes, including 7 druggable genome and 2 genome‐wide screens, analysing 17 different mammalian virus infections and four related cell physiological processes. Analysing cell‐based screens at this depth reveals widespread RNAi‐induce…

Improving the operation of an emergency department by using a simulation model

2007

FL Toni Ruohonen on tutkinut väitöskirjassaan monia suomalaisia koskettavaa ongelmaa: terveydenhuollon päivystysjärjestelmän tehottomuutta. Tietokonesimulointia apuna käyttäen Ruohonen kehitti päivystyspoliklinikan uuden toimintamallin, jolla päivystykseen tulevan potilaan hoitoprosessia voidaan nopeuttaa jopa 40 %. – Terveydenhuollon yksiköt ovat hyvin monimutkaisia kokonaisuuksia, ja niillä on paljon satunnaisia piirteitä. Uusien teoreettisten ratkaisumallien kehittäminen ongelmiin on ollut melko helppoa, mutta niiden toimivuus on voitu osoittaa vasta käytännön kokeilun jälkeen, Ruohonen toteaa.Tutkimuksessa Ruohonen loi aluksi tietokoneella mallin oikeasta poliklinikasta sairaalan henkil…

Prosody and fluency of Finland Swedish as a second language: Investigating global parameters for automated speaking assessment

2023

This study investigates prosody and fluency of Finland Swedish as a second language (L2). The main objective is to investigate global measures of prosody and fluency as predictors of overall oral proficiency, fluency, and pronunciation ratings. We analyzed parameters related to temporal fluency, timing (based on syllable durations), and f0 change from spontaneous speech produced by 30 native and 235 non-native speakers of Finland Swedish representing proficiency levels from beginner to intermediate. We used pairwise comparisons to investigate the differences between native speech (L1) and L2 samples from different proficiency levels. To study the predictability of ratings with acoustic para…

Modeling the mechanical behavior of carbon nanostructures

2016

Low-dimensional nanostructures are expected to have vast number of applications in the future. Particularly large amount of research has been invested in the atomthick carbon membrane called graphene, which has become popular due to its unique electronic and mechanical properties. This thesis presents studies of the mechanical and electromechanical properties of several different types of graphene nanostructures. In addition, short detours are performed in order to study the elasticity of gold nanostructures and topology effects in graphene nanoribbons. The research is performed by using several different simulation methods. In simulations the system parameters and environment can be chosen…

Engine/Transmission Matching

2014

This chapter deals with the forecasting of vehicle performance on the road, according to the installed engine. It begins with Section 1, which shows the calculation of the resistance to motion, that is, the forces that the vehicle must overcome to advance on flat roads and uphill. The calculation excludes accidental resistance in curves because it is not essential for predicting the behavior of the vehicle on the road. Section 2 begins with the power characteristic, the forecast by traction–speed and power–speed diagrams, calculation of gear ratios, and then passing to the limits to the estimated acceleration, feature consumption, and distance. This chapter concludes with a section on the d…

Dealing with the right of way in advanced traffic simulation. A characterization of drivers' behaviours in a multi-agent approach

2017

International audience; With the emergence of ADAS and autonomous vehicle, the need of simulation software to test advanced systems and models is unavoidable. The objective of this work is to characterize, in a multi-agent approach, the traffic vehicles behaviours, and to model them in a versatile traffic simulator, serving as a testing tool for integration in the traffic module of the SCANeR Studio T M simulation software. The algorithm will bring more natural interactions between vehicles in simulation and allow the emergence of new relevant situations for autonomous vehicles, observable in real, such as collision risk situations or even accidents, which have for now to be scripted in sce…
