Rotational Vertebral Artery Compression : Bow Hunter's Syndrome

Bow hunter's syndrome (BHS) is rare cause of vertebrobasilar insufficiency that arises from mechanical compression of the vertebral artery by head rotation. There is no standardized diagnostic regimen or treatment of BHS. Recently, we experienced 2 cases resisted continues medication and treated by surgical approach. In both cases, there were no complications after surgery and there were improv...

LHC Phenomenology for Physics Hunters

Welcome to a first set of notes for my 2008 TASI lectures on the exciting topic of ‘tools and technicalities’ (original title). Technically, LHC physics is really all about perturbative QCD, no matter if you are looking at signals or at backgrounds. When we try to look for interesting signatures at the LHC we instantly get killed by QCD. Therefore, I will mostly discuss QCD issues which arise f...

Threat Visibility for Cyber Hunters

Multiple branches of the United States military, spearheaded by United States Cyber Command, have embraced threat hunting as a way to defend against more sophisticated adversaries. This white paper explains how Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs) can use wire data to automate detection, speed investigations, and improve the granularity and collection of information. The paper includes examples of thr...
