Results of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Pulsed Radio-Frequency Treatment in Patients Suffering From Episodic Cluster Headache
No full textBackground ; Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the short-to medium-term effects of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of the sphenopalatine ganglion on episodic cluster headache. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study, 26 patients who underwent PRF of the sphenopalatine ganglion were retrospectively evaluated. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, number of headache attacks per week, autonomic symptoms and medication use were recorded at 1, 3 and 6 months after the procedure. Results: The mean VAS scores were significantly lower at the 1-, 3-, and 6-month evaluations compared with pre-procedure values (P 0.001). At the 6th month after the procedure, the proportion of subjects who completely stopped using medications was 26.9%, and the proportion with a decrease in autonomic symptoms was 61.5%. No complications were encountered as a result of the procedure. Conclusion: The application of PRF to the sphenopalatine ganglion is an effective and safe treatment option for episodic cluster headache in the short to medium term. © 2023, ASEAN Neurological Association.

Search for Excited Τ-Leptons and Leptoquarks in the Final State With Τ-Leptons and Jets in Pp Collisions at √s=13 Tev With the Atlas Detector
No full textA search is reported for excited tau-leptons and leptoquarks in events with two hadronically decaying tau-leptons and two or more jets. The search uses proton-proton (pp) collision data at root s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment during the Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider in 2015-2018. The total integrated luminosity is 139 fb(-1). The excited tau-lepton is assumed to be produced and to decay via a four-fermion contact interaction into an ordinary tau-lepton and a quark-antiquark pair. The leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs via the strong interaction, and each leptoquark is assumed to couple to a charm or lighter quark and a tau-lepton. No excess over the background prediction is observed. Excited tau-leptons with masses below 2.8 TeV are excluded at 95% CL in scenarios with the contact interaction scale Lambda set to 10 TeV. At the extreme limit of model validity where Lambda is set equal to the excited tau-lepton mass, excited tau-leptons with masses below 4.6 TeV are excluded. Leptoquarks with masses below 1.3 TeV are excluded at 95% CL if their branching ratio to a charm quark and a tau-lepton equals 1. The analysis does not exploit flavour-tagging in the signal region.ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW, Austria; FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; CNPq, Brazil; FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, Canada; CFI, Canada; NSFC, China; MEYS CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, Denmark; DNSRC, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS, France; CEA-DRF/IRFU, France; BMBF, Germany; MPG, Germany; Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT, Japan; JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; RCN, Norway; MEiN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MESTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS, Slovenia; MIZS, Slovenia; MICINN, Spain; Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SERI, Switzerland; MOST, Taiwan; DOE, United States of America; NSF, United States of America; BCKDF, Canada; CANARIE, Canada; Compute Canada, Canada; Czech Republic [PRIMUS 21/SCI/017, UNCE SCI/013]; COST, European Union; ERC, European Union; ERDF, European Union; Horizon 2020, European Union; Marie Skodowska-Curie Actions, European Union; Investissements d'Avenir Labex, France; Investissements d'Avenir Idex , France; ANR, France; DFG , Germany; AvH Foundation, Germany; Herakleitos programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Thales programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Aristeia programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Greek NSRF, Greece; BSF-NSF, Israel; MINERVA, Israel; Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, Norway; NCN, Poland; NAWA, Poland; La Caixa Banking Foundation, Spain; CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain; PROMETEO Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain; GenT Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain; Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden; Royal Society, United Kingdom; Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom; STFC, United Kingdom; TENMAK, Turkiye; Canton of Geneva, Switzerland; Canton of Bern, Switzerland; SNSF, Switzerland; SRC, Sweden; DSI/NRF, South Africa; NWO, Netherlands; Benoziyo Center, Israel; RGC, China; GSRI, Greece; HGF, Germany; SRNSFG, Georgia; Minciencias, Colombia; MOST, China; CAS, China; ANID, Chile; CERN; NRC, CanadaWe acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; ANID, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; Minciencias, Colombia; MEYS CR, Czech Republic; DNRF and DNSRC, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS and CEA-DRF/IRFU, France; SRNSFG, Georgia; BMBF, HGF and MPG, Germany; GSRI, Greece; RGC and Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; NWO, Netherlands; RCN, Norway; MEiN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MESTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MIZS, Slovenia; DSI/NRF, South Africa; MICINN, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SERI, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; MOST, Taiwan; TENMAK, Turkiye; STFC, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States of America.

Dev-Pim: Dynamic Execution Validation With Processing-In
No full text28th IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS) -- MAY 22-26, 2023 -- Venice, ITALYInstruction injections or soft errors during execution on the CPU can cause serious system vulnerabilities. During the standard program flow of the processor, the injection of unauthorized instruction or the occurrence of an error in the expected instruction are the main conditions for potentially serious such vulnerabilities. With the execution of these unauthorized instructions, adversaries could exploit SoC and execute their own malicious program or get higher-level privileges on the system. On the other hand, non-intentional errors can potentially corrupt programs causing unintended executions or the cause of program crashes. Modern trusted architectures propose solutions for unauthorized execution on SoC with additional software mechanisms or extra hardware logic on the same untrusted SoC. Nevertheless, these SoCs can still be vulnerable, as long as deployed security detection mechanisms are embedded within the same SoC's fabric. Furthermore, validation mechanisms on the SoC increase the complexity and power consumption of the SoC. This paper presents DEV-PIM, a new, high-performance, and low-cost execution validation mechanism in SoCs with external DRAM memory. The proposed approach uses processingin-memory (PIM) method to detect instruction injections or corrupted instructions by utilising basic computing resources on a standard DRAM device. DEV-PIM transfers instructions scheduled for execution on the CPU to the DRAM and validates them by comparing content with the trusted program record on the DRAM using PIM operations. By optimising the DRAM scheduling process validation tasks are only executed when memory access is idle. The CPU retains uninterrupted memory access and can continue its normal program flow without penalty. We evaluate DEV-PIM in an end-to-end DRAM-compatible environment and run a set of software benchmarks. On average, the proposed architecture is able to detect 98.46% of instruction injections for different validation. We also measured on average only 0.346% CPU execution overhead with DEV-PIM enabled.IEEE,IEEE Comp Soc,IEEE Council Electron Design Automat,IEEE Comp Soc Test Technol Tech Council,CNRS,Ecole Centrale Lyon,Politecnico Torin
Model-Independent Search for the Presence of New Physics in Events Including H → Γγ With √s=13 Tev Pp Data Recorded by the Atlas Detector at the Lhc
No full textA model-independent search for new physics leading to final states containing a Higgs boson, with a mass of 125.09 GeV, decaying to a pair of photons is performed with 139 fb(-1) of p root s = 13TeV pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This search examines 22 final states categorized by the objects that are produced in association with the Higgs boson. These objects include isolated electrons or muons, hadronically decaying iota -leptons, additional photons, missing transverse momentum, and hadronic jets, as well as jets that are tagged as containing a b-hadron. No significant excesses above Standard Model expectations are observed and limits on the production cross section at 95% confidence level are set. Detector efficiencies are reported for all 22 signal regions, which can be used to convert detector-level cross-section limits reported in this paper to particle-level cross-section constraints.ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW, Austria; FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; CNPq, Brazil; FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, Canada; CFI, Canada; NSFC, China; MEYS CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, Denmark; DNSRC, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS, France; CEA-DRF/IRFU, France; BMBF, Germany; MPG, Germany; Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT, Japan; JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; RCN, Norway; MEiN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MESTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS, Slovenia; MIZS, Slovenia; MICINN, Spain; Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SERI, Switzerland; MOST, Taiwan; DOE, United States of America; NSF, United States of America; BCKDF, Canada; CANARIE, Canada; Compute Canada, Canada; Czech Republic [PRIMUS 21/SCI/017, UNCE SCI/013]; COST, European Union; ERC, European Union; ERDF, European Union; Horizon 2020, European Union; Marie Skodowska-Curie Actions, European Union; Investissements d'Avenir Labex, France; Investissements d'Avenir Idex , France; ANR, France; DFG , Germany; AvH Foundation, Germany; Herakleitos programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Thales programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Aristeia programme - EU-ESF, Greece; Greek NSRF, Greece; BSF-NSF, Israel; MINERVA, Israel; Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, Norway; NCN, Poland; NAWA, Poland; La Caixa Banking Foundation, Spain; CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain; PROMETEO Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain; GenT Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain; Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden; Royal Society, United Kingdom; Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom; STFC, United Kingdom; TENMAK, Turkiye; Canton of Geneva, Switzerland; Canton of Bern, Switzerland; SNSF, Switzerland; SRC, Sweden; DSI/NRF, South Africa; NWO, Netherlands; Benoziyo Center, Israel; RGC, China; GSRI, Greece; HGF, Germany; SRNSFG, Georgia; Minciencias, Colombia; MOST, China; CAS, China; ANID, Chile; CERN; NRC, CanadaWe acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWFW and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; ANID, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; Minciencias, Colombia; MEYS CR, Czech Republic; DNRF and DNSRC, Denmark; IN2P3-CNRS and CEA-DRF/IRFU, France; SRNSFG, Georgia; BMBF, HGF and MPG, Germany; GSRI, Greece; RGC and Hong Kong SAR, China; ISF and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; NWO, Netherlands; RCN, Norway; MEiN, Poland; FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MESTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MIZS, Slovenia; DSI/NRF, South Africa; MICINN, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SERI, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; MOST, Taiwan; TENMAK, Turkiye; STFC, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States of America.

A total of 276 women and 166 men (Mage = 24.36, SD = 4.90) participated in the study. Participants completed an 80-item questionnaire designed to gauge attitudes toward ex-prisoners. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, a 4-factor, 26-item model emerged as the best representation of the ATEP scale. The identified factors were labeled as Social Interaction (9 items), Compassion (6 items), Social Support (6 items), and Condemnation (5 items). To assess the internal consistency of each subscale, Cronbach alpha coefficients were computed, demonstrating satisfactory reliability with values of .90 for Social Interaction, .78 for Compassion, .76 for Social Support, and .75 for Condemnation. The results of the study confirmed the reliability and validity of the ATEP scale. The scale demonstrated robust psychometric properties, allowing researchers to effectively measure and understand attitudes toward ex-prisoners

Crashworthiness Evaluation of Hybrid Tubes Made of Gfrp Composite and Aluminum Tubes Filled With Honeycomb Structures
No full textMetal/composite hybrid tubes are potential candidates for crashworthy products having less weight and low cost compared to conventional crash boxes. The crashworthiness of Al/GFRP tubes created by wrapping an aluminum 6082 tube in glass fiber-reinforced plastic is the subject of this investigation. To compare the crush behavior of the empty GFRP/hybrid and honeycomb-filled hybrid circular tubes, quasi-static tests were conducted. Bundles and cracks were observed during the tests of composite and hybrid tubes. Energy absorption parameters of the numerical model were compared with the results of experiments. The crushing behavior of the GFRP and hybrid specimens was simulated using a numerical approach based on the Chang-Chang damage criteria. It is found that trigger mechanisms performed in the FE analysis can effectively model the crashing behavior of GFRP/hybrid specimens. The CFE and SEA of the empty composite tube are 95% and 29% greater than the empty hybrid tube, respectively. The effect of honeycomb filling on the energy absorption capabilities of hybrid tubes is investigated. The CFE of the honeycomb-filled hybrid tube is found to be 4.5% greater than the CFE of the empty hybrid tube.Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, Department of Scientific Research Projects [5582]The authors acknowledge the financial support provided by Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, Department of Scientific Research Projects under Project No: 5582.

The Metaverse as Influencer Marketing Platform: Influencer-Brand Collaborations of Parıs Hilton With ‘superplastic’, ‘bohoo’, and ‘levi’s’
No full textWith the opportunities offered by Metaverse, brands operate in a market area that tends to expand and become more interactive. In such a market, the interaction between influencers and their followers takes place within the framework of a new business model. In this study, in order to evaluate the influencer marketing activities in Metaverse, the brand and influencer collaborations of Paris Hilton with Superplastic, Boohoo, and Levi’s, were examined with the case study and the semiotic analysis method of Roland Barthes. The analysis results showed that influencer marketing in Metaverse seems to be more creative and flexible with higher interaction due to the vast opportunities offered as a consequence of using the virtual worlds and avatars on different platforms. When it comes to users, it is observed that followers are given a real-time interaction opportunity in online virtual environments, that content forms are created in a way which is experienced through gamification; and that further opportunities are offered to develop a closer interaction between the user and the influencer avatars, and other possibilities such as purchasing digital assets and winning awards. In the Metaverse, brands appear to benefit from such opportunities as developing parallel marketing strategies between the physical world and the virtual world, preparing effective advertising campaigns with the creative potential of the virtual world, coming up with solutions to difficulties such as payment problems and counterfeiting in influencer marketing by relying on blockchain technology on the basis of Web 3.0 infrastructure, apart from selling digital products and NFTs
