    Abstract Context: The microservices architectural style is gaining momentum in the IT industry. This style does not guarantee that a target system can continuously meet acceptable performance levels. The ability to study the violations of performance requirements and eventually predict them would help practitioners to tune techniques like dynamic load balancing or horizontal scaling to achieve the resilience property.
    Objective: The goal of this work is to study the violations of performance requirements of microservices through time series analysis and provide practical instruments that can detect resilient and non-resilient microservices and possibly predict their performance behavior.
    Method: We introduce a new method based on
    Results: Our empirical evaluation shows that, in most of the cases, the non-linear S-shaped growth models capture the occurrences of performance violations of resilient microservices with high accuracy. The bounded nature associated with this models tell that the performance degradation is limited and thus the microservice is able to come back to an acceptable performance level even under changes in the nominal number of concurrent users. We also detect cases where linear models represent a better description. These microservices are not resilient and exhibit constant growth and unbounded performance violations over time. The application of our methodology to a real in-production system identified additional resilience profiles that were not observed in the in-vitro experiments. These profiles show the ability of services to react differently to the same solicitation. We found that when a service is resilient it can either decrease the rate of the violations occurrences in a continuous manner or with repeated attempts (periodical or not).
    Conclusions: We showed that growth theory can be successfully applied to study the occurences of performance violations of in-vitro and in-production real-world systems. Furthermore, the cost of our model calibration heuristics, based on the mathematical expression of the selected non-linear growth models, is limited. We discussed how the resulting models can shed some light on the trend of performance violations and help engineers to spot problematic microservice operations that exhibit performance issues. Thus, meaningful insights from the application of growth theory have been derived to characterize the behavior of (non) resilient microservices operations.

    Abstract The evaluation of bone mineral density (BMD) is an important task in paleopathology. Techniques commonly applied in bone quantity assessment, such as DXA or radiogrammetry (XR), suffer from several limitations when applied to skeletal remains. In recently published research, we developed a new methodology and new reference curves for the evaluation of BMD on human skeletal remains, applying for the first time Quantitative Ultrasonometry (QUS), a user-friendly, portable, and reliable clinical technique. This study aims to apply this new methodology to an archeological sample and to compare the results with those obtained through XR. We apply QUS and XR to a sample of 104 adults from Medieval Italian cemeteries. Fragility fractures were recorded. Descriptive statistics and comparisons between sexes, age-at-death cohorts, and individuals with and without fragility fractures were performed. Moreover, univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to define the parameters most predictive of fracture risk in past populations. The comparison between sexes showed no significant results concerning BMD parameters, whereas a decrease in BMD with increasing age is confirmed. The comparison between fracture and non-fracture individuals and the logit model demonstrated that QUS parameters, especially UBPI, are more reliable predictors of fracture risk in comparison to XR. Our results confirmed that QUS is a valuable technique that can be efficiently applied to archeological remains, also considering its portability. We also propose a modification of the previously published QUS standard curves, to easily assess osteopenia and osteoporosis in archeological material.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The cellular pathogenesis of fibrotic disorders including systemic sclerosis (SSc) remains largely speculative. Currently, the altered function of endothelial cells and fibroblasts under the influence of an inappropriate immune response are considered central pathogenic events in SSc. Adding to this complexity, novel evidence here reviewed suggests that keratinocytes may concur in the development of skin fibrosis.
    Recent findings: Epidermal equivalents (EE) generated from primary SSc keratinocytes display a distinct gene expression program when compared to healthy donor (HD) EE. SSc-EE, among others, exhibited enhanced oxidative and metabolic response pathways. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated similarities between SSc-EE and SSc epidermis including altered keratinocyte differentiation, enhanced expression of activation markers, and reduced rate of basal keratinocytes proliferation. SSc-EE supernatants more than HD-EE modified the inflammatory and extracellular matrix deposition/resorption program of dermal fibroblasts. Further evidence indicated that the relative lack rather than the excess of interleukin-25 in keratinocytes may contribute to enhanced dermal fibrotic changes. Overall, these data support keratinocyte-intrinsic SSc-related modifications.
    Summary: Improved methods for engineering epidermal and skin equivalents are helping to address the question whether keratinocyte alterations in SSc are primary and capable to dysregulate dermal homeostasis or secondary following dermal fibrotic changes.
