PURPOSE: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common cause of upper extremity discomfort. Surgical release of the median nerve can be performed under general or local anesthetic, with or without a tourniquet. Wide-awake carpal tunnel release (CTR) (local anesthesia, no sedation) is gaining popularity. Tourniquet discomfort is a reported downside. This study reviews outcomes in wide-awake CTR and compare...

Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is crucial in recommendation and online advertising systems. Existing methods usually model user behaviors, while ignoring the informative context which influences to make a click decision, e.g., pages pre-ranking candidates that inform inferences about interests, leading suboptimal performance. In this paper, we propose Decision-Making Context Interaction Ne...

Electron beam bunching in the optical wavelength was observed experimentally for the first time at the Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility(ATF) using the Inverse Free Electron(IFEL) accelerator. The micro-bunched electron beam has been studied by measuring the coherent transition radiation (CTR). We have experimentally observed a quadratic dependency of the CTR signal with the charge of the el...
