Resilience Estimation of Cyber-Physical Systems via Quantitative Metrics

IEEE Access, 2021
This paper is about the estimation of the cyber-resilience of CPS. We define two new resilience estimation metrics: $k$ -steerability and $\ell $ -monitorability. They aim at assisting designers to evaluate and increase the cyber-resilience of CPS when

Pediatric Oncology Nursing Competencies in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Scoping Review to Inform Practice, Education, and Research

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nurses are central to cancer care for children and adolescents, yet no comprehensive synthesis has defined essential core competencies for pediatric oncology nursing (PON) practice internationally, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

The search for the perfect indicator: Reflections on monitoring and evaluation of resilience for improved climate risk management

Climate Risk Management, 2019
Resilience-building activities are increasingly evident in development projects, and as a result, there is a growing focus on monitoring and evaluating the associated outcomes of these projects for improved climate risk management. Significant challenges

Defining and quantifying the resilience of responses to disturbance: a conceptual and modelling approach from soil science [PDF]

, 2016
There are several conceptual definitions of resilience pertaining to environmental systems and, even if resilience is clearly defined in a particular context, it is challenging to quantify.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Service Performance Indicators for Infrastructure Investment [PDF]

, 2015
Infrastructure systems serving modern economies are highly complex, highly interconnected, and often highly interactive. The result is increased complexity in investment decision-making, and increased challenges in prioritising that investment. However,

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

The Effect of Time-Varying Value on Infrastructure Resilience Assessments

IEEE Access, 2021
Infrastructure resilience for a scenario can be assessed quantitatively from resilience curves that plot the evolution of system performance. Summary metrics map these curves to a single value to facilitate comparisons of different systems, scenarios ...
