A new storage structure, called a uniform ladder, consists of a linear array of equal shift-register loops, each holding one record and linked by flow-steering switches. Data exchange across a loop boundary is mandatory if the controlling switch is on and forbidden if off. For MRU (Most Recently Used) storage management, the most important operation is the climbing of data to the top of the lad...

Ectopic ureter is one of the rarely encountered abnormalities of the urinary system resulting from the abnormal relation of the mesonephric canal and ureteric bud during embryonic development. Ectopic ureter, which is more commonly seen in women and associated with duplex collecting system, is an entity that should be remembered in children with complaints of constant urinary incontinence despi...

Introduction: The prevalence of ectopic ureter (EU) is low and it is usually associated with urinary system duplication. In such cases, incontinence is a major complaint. Case Presentation: We present a case of a female patient that was diagnosed with ectopic ureter opening at the posterior vaginal fornix along with a duplicated pyeloureteral system after a regular diagnostic work-up that turne...

METHODS: Patients’ self-reported data were collected from 2011-2012 National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS Kantar Health global self-reported general population survey in healthcare). QOL was measured by the physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS) of the Short Form-12 (SF-12) (mean score of 50 for general population). Loss of work/productivity was measured by the vali...

REZA, SAJJID. Reducing Migration-induced Misses in an Over-Subscribed Multiprocessor System. (Under the direction of Prof. Gregory T. Byrd.) In a large multiprocessor server platform, using multicore chips, the scheduler often migrates a scheduling entity, i.e. a thread or process or virtual machine, in order to achieve better load balancing or ensure fairness among competing scheduling entitie...

Figure skating scoring is challenging because it requires judging players’ technical moves as well coordination with the background music. Most learning-based methods struggle for two reasons: 1) each move in figure changes quickly, hence simply applying traditional frame sampling will lose a lot of valuable information, especially 3 to 5 minutes lasting videos; 2) prior rarely considered criti...
