A performance study of WebDav access to storages within the Belle II collaboration
No full textWebDav and HTTP are becoming popular protocols for data access in the High
Energy Physics community. The most used Grid and Cloud storage solutions provide such kind
of interfaces, in this scenario tuning and performance evaluation became crucial aspects to
promote the adoption of these protocols within the Belle II community. In this work, we present
the results of a large-scale test activity, made with the goal to evaluate performances and
reliability of the WebDav protocol, and study a possible adoption for the user analysis. More
specifically, we considered a pilot infrastructure composed by a set of storage elements
configured with the WebDav interface, hosted at the Belle II sites. The performance tests include
a comparison with xrootd and gridftp. As reference tests we used a set of analysis jobs running
under the Belle II software framework, accessing the input data with the ROOT I/O library, in
order to simulate as much as possible a realistic user activity. The final analysis shows the
possibility to achieve promising performances with WebDav on different storage systems, and
gives an interesting feedback, for Belle II community and for other high energy physics
experiments

A lightweight federation of the Belle II storages through Dynafed
No full textBelle II experiment can take advantage from Federation technologies to simplify data management. The increasing adoption of HTTP and WebDAV protocol by sites, enable to create lightweight solutions to give an aggregate view of multiple distributed storages. In this work we present a study on the possible usage of the software Dynafed developed by CERN for the creation of a dynamic data federation system. We created a first Dynafed server, hosted in the datacentre in Napoli, and connected with about the 60% of the production storages of Belle II. Then we aggregated all the file systems under a unique HTTP path. Over this infrastructure we performed a set of stress tests, in order to evaluate the impact of federation, the service resilience, and to study the capability of Dynafed to redirect clients properly to the most convenient file replica. The results show good potentialities of the service and suggest further investigation

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Parathyroid Carcinoma
No full textParathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine malignancy, accounting for <1% of all cases of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and up to 15% in the hereditary hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome. Genomic alterations identified in PC are mostly represented by CDC73 gene mutations, codifying for a loss-of-function protein termed parafibromin. Whole exome sequencing identified mutations in other genes, such as mTOR, KMT2D, CDKN2C, THRAP3, PIK3CA, and EZH2 genes, CCND1 gene amplification. The diagnosis of PC is quite difficult due to the lack of reliable clinical diagnostic criteria, and in the majority of cases is made postoperatively at histological examination. The clinical manifestations of PC are primarily due to the excessive secretion of PTH by the tumor rather than spread to local or distant organs. En bloc resection of the parathyroid tumor represents the initial mainstay treatment of patients with PC. Multiple surgical procedures may be required, although surgical morbidity should be taken into account. A 5-And 10-year survival between 77-100 and 49-91%, respectively, has been reported. When the tumor is no more resectable, medical treatment of hypercalcemia has a pivotal role in the management of these patients
