description: We present a novel cluster architecture that unifies switch, server and storage processing to achieve a level of price-performance and simplicity of application development not achievable with current architectures. Our architecture takes advantage of the increasing disparity between storage capacity, network switching on the one hand, and processing power of modern processors and architectures on the other. We propose the use of Network Processors (NPUs), which can apply simple classify/act/forward operations on data packets at wire speeds, to split processing of operations such as complex database queries across a network. We quantify the theoretical benefits of such an architecture over traditional server-cluster approaches using warehouse database queries as a motivating application. We also discuss the challenges such an architecture presents to programming language design and implementation, performance analysis, and security.

description: This report measures excess capacity in U.S. agriculture, which is defined as the difference between potential supply of farm output (actual production plus potential output from acreage reduction programs) and commercial demand (total use adjusted for noncommercial exports) at prevailing prices. The study method enables analysts to assess and estimate excess capacity since 1940. Excess agricultural capacity has been increasing since 1979. The value of excess capacity in 1986 ($12.5 billion) exceeded the previous peak in the sixties, the result of greater agricultural output and a sharp decline in agricultural exports after 1981.

Evaluating a Collaborative Defense Architecture for MANETs

Subjects: Computer science

description: Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are susceptible to both insider and outsider attacks more than wired and base station-based wireless networks. This is because of the lack of a well-defined defense perimeter in MANETs, preventing the use of defenses including firewalls or intrusion detection systems. This lack of perimeter calls for implementation of security in a distributed, collaborative manner. We recently introduced a novel deny-by-default distributed security policy enforcement architecture for MANETs by harnessing and extending the concept of network capabilities. The deny-by-default principle allows compromised nodes to access only authorized services, limiting their ability to disrupt or even interfere with end-to-end connectivity and nodes beyond their local communication radius. The enforcement of policies is done hop-by-hop, in a distributed manner. In this paper we present preliminary results evaluating our architecture. Through simulation, we show that our solution incurs minimal overhead in terms of network bandwidth and latency even in the presence of cryptographic operations. Furthermore, we show that the protection remains effective even in the presence of misbehaving nodes and routing changes due to mobility. While further work is needed to fully evaluate our scheme, we believe that the notion of collaborative security in MANETs is a promising direction for future research.
Resonant generation of coherent phonons in a superconductor by ultrafast optical pump pulses

description: We study the generation of coherent phonons in a superconductor by ultrafast optical pump pulses. The nonequilibrium dynamics of the coupled Bogoliubov quasiparticle-phonon system after excitation with the pump pulse is analyzed by means of the density-matrix formalism with the phonons treated at a full quantum kinetic level. For ultrashort excitation pulses, the superconductor exhibits a nonadiabatic behavior in which the superconducting order parameter oscillates. We find that in this nonadiabatic regime the generation of coherent phonons is resonantly enhanced when the frequency of the order-parameter oscillation is tuned to the phonon energy, a condition that can be achieved in experiments by varying the integrated pump pulse intensity.

description: For the MIREX 2010 Audio Chord Extraction task, we submitted a total of four systems. Our base system is a trainable chord recognizer based on two-band chroma representations and using a Structured SVM classifier to replace the more familiar hidden Markov model. We submit two versions of this system, one which transposes all training data through all 12 possible chords to maximize the training data available for each chord (and hence improve generalization to rarely-seen chords and keys), and one which simply trains on the chords in their original transposition, leading to a smaller model and possible learning of key-specific features. We also submit two pre-trained models, based on these two frameworks, trained in-house on the 180 Beatles and 20 Queen tracks for which ground-truth chord labels have been made available.
Nourdin-Peccati analysis on Wiener and Wiener-Poisson space for general distributions

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: Given a reference random variable, we study the solution of its Stein equation and obtain universal bounds on its first and second derivatives. We then extend the analysis of Nourdin and Peccati by bounding the Fortet-Mourier and Wasserstein distances from more general random variables such as members of the Exponential and Pearson families. Using these results, we obtain non-central limit theorems, generalizing the ideas applied to their analysis of convergence to Normal random variables. We do these in both Wiener space and the more general Wiener-Poisson space. In the former, we study conditions for convergence under several particular cases and characterize when two random variables have the same distribution. As an example, we apply this tool to bilinear functionals of Gaussian subordinated fields where the underlying process is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter bigger than 1/2. In the latter space we give suficient conditions for a sequence of multiple (Wiener-Poisson) integrals to converge to a Normal random variable.

The main conclusion of the studies is that besides the strong $Ra$ and $Pr$ dependence of the rms of temperature fluctuations normalized by the temperature difference across the cell, different from the Oberbeck-Boussinesq (OB) case of turbulent convection, all rest of statistical and scaling properties of temperature field discussed in details are the same as in the OB case.

description: A fully coupled system of two second-order parabolic degenerate equations arising as a thin film approximation to the Muskat problem is interpreted as a gradient flow for the 2-Wasserstein distance in the space of probability measures with finite second moment. A variational scheme is then set up and is the starting point of the construction of weak solutions. The availability of two Liapunov functionals turns out to be a central tool to obtain the needed regularity to identify the Euler-Lagrange equation in the variational scheme.
Reading Nathalie Sarraute through the lens of Jean Baudrillard : challenging consumers and clichés
Creators: name: Cheinman, Ksenia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Jean Baudrillard chimed the bell announcing the postmodern death of the subject and the commodification of culture and language at the same time as Nathalie Sarraute was addressing these issues while experimenting with the formal qualities of the Nouveau Roman. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how two works of Nathalie Sarraute, namely the novel Tu ne t’aimes pas (1989) and the play C’est beau (1975), textualize resistance to the consumer society that they are staging as framed by Baudrillard’s seminal text La Société de consommation (1970). The first chapter, dealing with Tu ne t’aimes pas, examines the nature of consumers and by juxtaposing “Consumables” and “Inconsumables” illustrates how Sarraute reanimates the individual through multiplicity. The second chapter, focusing on C’est beau, explores clichés as well as the social tendency to linguistic conformism and simplification which in turn are challenged through abstraction and “thick description”. I prove that, through an aesthetic of undecidability, Sarraute succeeds in reviving the individual and restoring language from piles of platitudes in a way that the critical dialogues carried on in her writing extend to the present day and into the future.

description: A number of the major human infectious diseases (like malaria and dengue) and Desert Locusts that still plague the developing world are sensitive to inter-seasonal and inter-decadal changes in environment and climate. Monitoring variations in environmental conditions such as rainfall and vegetation helps decision-makers at Ministries of Agriculture and Ministries of Health to assess the risk levels of Desert Locust outbreaks or malaria epidemics. The International research institute for climate and society (IRI) has developed products based on remotely sensed data to monitor those changes and provide the information directly to the decision-makers. This paper presents recent developments which use remote sensing to monitor climate variability, environmental conditions and their impacts on the dynamics of infectious diseases (malaria) and Desert Locust outbreaks.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine attitudes toward date rape among university students in South Korea. Participants included 163 students recruited from two universities in South Korea. Results show that male students were less rejecting of date rape-tolerant attitudes than female students were. Also, male students were less rejecting of the belief that the use of force to have sex on a date is acceptable under certain conditions. Attending a sexual assault educational program was associated with more rejection of date rape-tolerant attitudes among females, but not among males. The results will be of particular value to advocates who provide rape prevention and victim intervention programs.
Conclusion
Creators: name: Crane, Susan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1986
Subjects: English literature

description: These romances do not treat their subjects as if they had no correlatives in life. On the contrary, insular poets seem as interested in their ability to comment on the world as in their capacity to escape life's necessities or to idealize life's processes through the transformations of poetry. They are sharply aware of contemporary political, religious, and cultural principles, and they examine as well a set of convictions important to the barony: that noble power rests in the land and its heritability, so that noble merit inheres in perpetuating the patrimony and the family; furthermore, that the behaviors fostered by this system—courageous initiative in war, respect for law and custom in peace, cultivation of social graces through wealth—are virtues that justify and expand the dominance brought by landholding. The insular romances give poetic form to this ideology and to other beliefs, dramatizing their confrontations and finally picturing all of them contributing to baronial
advancement. In summary, insular romances resist the political principle that national or royal interests must come before baronial ambition, the Christian teaching that religious values are superior to concern for the world, and the cultural principle that courtliness transforms its adepts beyond the merely human. To be sure, these dominant ideologies deeply affect the romances, providing them with important measures of value.
Chapter 4: Measuring Conventions of Courtliness
Creators: name: Crane, Susan

Subjects: English literature

description: The relation of baronial ideals to feudal, national, and religious principles is not the only concern of insular romance. A further subject of importance to insular as well as continental poets is ideal love and its relationship to noble life. Like other romances in this study, the insular romances of love and chivalry assess ideal patterns of behavior (here the cultural formations of courtoisie and fine amor) in relation to conflicting images of conduct. But the historical situation of these romances changes more than that of other insular romances: the earlier poets of love and chivalry examine an ideal system that had far less importance to social behavior than did religion or feudal and national principles, but their Middle English successors saw literature's courtly ideals widely followed in social practice.

description: In this work four electrochemically aqueous plutonium (Pu) species prepared in perchloric acid solution at different oxidation states (III, IV, V, VI) as well as Pu(IV) colloids are characterized for the first time by Pu L₃ and M₅ edge high energy resolution X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (HR-XANES). A Johann type five-analyzer crystal spectrometer recently installed and commissioned at the INE-Beamline for actinide research at the ANKA synchrotron radiation facility, Karlsruhe, Germany was applied. Different to conventional XANES several spectral features could be identified. The most intense absorption resonances (White Line, WL) have higher intensities for all Pu L₃ HR-XANES spectra compared to the conventional XANES. Additionally, the Pu(V) and Pu(VI) L₃ HR-XANES spectra exhibit better resolved post-edge features. The energy distance between the WL and this resonance is sensitive to the bond distance between the Pu and axial O atoms in Pu(V) and Pu(VI). Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) investigation is performed to correlate oxidation states with average Pu-O bonding distances. For the Pu(VI) M₅ edge HR-XANES two additional features at higher energy is well resolved, which are expected to be sensitive to changes in Pu-O bond length and to the level of hybridization of metal and axial oxygen valence orbitals. The origin of hitherto unresolved features is elucidated by quantum chemical calculations using the FEFF9.6 code. The HR-XANES experimental technique provides new insights into the actinides electronic structure and allows detection of minor contributions of Pu oxidation states in oxidation state mixtures.

description: The nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe in M101 (cz=241 km s^-1) provides a unique opportunity to study the early evolution of a "normal" Type Ia supernova, its compositional structure, and its elusive progenitor system. We present 18 high signal-to-noise spectra of SN 2011fe during its first month beginning 1.2 days post-explosion and with an average cadence of 1.8 days. This gives a clear picture of how various line-forming species are distributed within the outer layers of the ejecta, including that of unburned material (C+O). We follow the evolution of C II absorption features until they diminish near maximum light, showing overlapping regions of burned and unburned material between ejection velocities of 10,000 and 16,000 km s^-1. This supports the notion that incomplete burning, in addition to progenitor scenarios, is a relevant source of spectroscopic diversity among SNe Ia. The observed evolution of the highly Doppler-shifted O I 7774 absorption features detected within five days post-explosion indicate the presence of O I with expansion velocities from 11,500 to 21,000 km s^-1. The fact that some O I is present above C II suggests that SN 2011fe may have had an appreciable amount of unburned oxygen within the outer layers of the ejecta.

Chapter 3: Religion in Pious Romances

Subjects: English literature

description: Religious and moral commitment is strong in England's medieval fictions. The continued presence of moral and homiletic approaches in Middle English romance provides one of the most direct connections between Anglo-Norman and Middle English literature. Studies of Middle English romance even propose, with increasing frequency and conviction, that some of the morally committed romances are so distinctive as to constitute a separate genre of "exemplary romance" or "secular hagiography." On the continent, by contrast, romances rarely incorporate motifs or standards of value from saints' lives. England's pious romances interact extensively with hagiography and, through that literature, respond strongly to changes in the status of church and Christians.
Chapter 5: Adapting Conventions of Courtliness

description: Two young men seeking brides illustrate what happens to ideas of love and chivalry between the twelfth and the fourteenth centuries. These two courtships trace a change in the relation of literary
ideals and historical practice, from superficial imitation to serious and life-risking engagement. Critics have attributed the change itself to royal programs of control and to increasing economic constraints on the barony, as well as to the stimulus of chivalric literature. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the landholding class lost economic ground to the expanding mercantile sector and later to labor, and yielded political terrain to the crown.

Regulation of androgen action by sex hormone-binding globulin
Creators: name: Hong, Eui-Ju
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) binds androgens and estrogens with high affinity, and regulates the distribution of these sex steroids in the blood and other biological fluids. Liver is the primary site of SHBG production, but the human SHBG transcription unit responsible for this is also expressed in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) epithelial cells in a transgenic mouse model. Unlike hepatocytes which actively secrete SHBG and retain little immunoreactive SHBG within their cytoplasm, an incompletely glycosylated SHBG isoform has been found to accumulate inside PCT cells. These cells are androgen target cells, and the presence of SHBG within them accentuates androgen-dependent regulation of gene expression mediated by the androgen receptor (AR). The retention and accumulation of SHBG within cells involves an interaction with the intracellular 37-kDa laminin receptor precursor (LRP), which was identified as a SHBG interacting-protein using yeast hybrid screen. This interaction was confirmed by Glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays, and was prevented by mutating the LRP laminin-binding site. Human SHBG was found to co-localize LRP in the peri-nuclear location of renal epithelial cells of transgenic mice and SHBG:LRP complexes were observed within the endoplasmic reticulum of these cells by immunoprecipitation assay. These data suggest that a physical interaction between SHBG and LRP contributes to the intracellular trapping of an incompletely glycosylated SHBG in PCT cells and an increase in AR-mediated androgen action. Since human SHBG transcripts have been reported in prostate cancer cells, we examined whether SHBG in the extracellular environment or the cytoplasm of human LNCaP prostate cancer cells influences their response to androgens. Although human SHBG is cleaved into two laminin G-like (LG) domains by kallikrein-related peptidase 4, this does not change its steroid-binding activity. Furthermore, the amino-terminal SHBG LG domiain induced AR-mediated androgen activity in LNCaP cells in the same way as intact SHBG. Although immunoreactive SHBG was not detected within LNCaP cells, siRNA-mediated knockdown of SHBG transcripts decreased AR-dependent inceases in prostate-specific antigen mRNA levels and androgen-reporter gene activity. These data suggest that while SHBG in LNCaP cell medium limits the metabolic clearance of androgens, SHBG within these cells enhances AR-induced gene expression.

We solve the more complicated problem of non-spherical halos, for which the collapse threshold is scale dependent.

Teacher Adherence to School-Based Psychoeducational Report Recommendations
Creators: name: Barrett, Faith Hannah
Publisher: name: Werklund School of Education

Subjects: subject: Educational Psychology

description: The recommendations in a psychoeducational report are acted upon by the child’s parents and teachers, with the intention that they have a positive impact on the child. However, recommendations are not always adhered to, for a variety of reasons. To date, the rate of teacher adherence to recommendations has not yet been investigated. This study investigated how much teachers adhere to recommendations and the potential factors impacting adherence. In a semi-structured interview, teachers were asked about each school recommendation from a psychoeducational report for a student they had taught, whether they had used the recommendation (adherence) and for any reasons or circumstances that interfered with being able to use the recommendation (barriers). Teachers were also asked in general for any reasons or circumstances that helped them use the recommendations. In the current study, teacher adherence rates were high (74.5% overall). Thematic analyses were conducted to understand the factors involved with adherence, finding five recommendation themes, eight barrier themes, and four facilitator themes/subthemes. Further descriptive analyses show the adherence rates across the recommendation and barrier themes, as well as the occurrence of the different barrier themes across recommendation themes. This study provides a framework for future research to use when investigating teacher adherence, as well as provides insight into the real-life difficulties of adhering to recommendations. Future research in this area should further explore the impact of barriers on teacher adherence, as well as examining other potential influencing factors (e.g., demographic variables, age or diagnosis of student, number of recommendations).

description: The accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 has shown a peculiar orbital evolution in the past with an orbital expansion much faster than expected from standard binary evolutionary scenarios. Previous limits on the pulsar spin frequency derivative during transient accretion outbursts were smaller than predicted by standard magnetic accretion torque theory, while the spin evolution between outbursts was consistent with magnetic dipole spin-down. In this paper we present the results of a coherent timing analysis of the 2011 outburst observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and extend our previous long-term measurements of the orbital and spin evolution over a baseline of thirteen years. We find that the expansion of the 2 hr orbit is accelerating at a rate 1.6E-20 s/s^2 and we interpret this as the effect of short-term angular momentum exchange between the mass donor and the orbit. The gravitational quadrupole coupling due to variations in the oblateness of the companion can be a viable mechanism for explaining the observations. No significant spin frequency derivatives are detected during the 2011 outburst (<4E-13 Hz/s) and the long term spin down remains stable over thirteen years with a rate of approximately -1E-15 Hz/s.

description: Although it is seen by many as a form of leisure and recreation, gambling can have serious repercussions for individuals, families, and society as a whole. The harmful effects of gambling have been studied for decades in an attempt to understand individual differences in gambling engagement and the life-course of gambling-related problems. In this publication, we present a comprehensive, internationally relevant conceptual framework of “harmful gambling” that moves beyond a symptoms-based view of harm and addresses a broad set of factors related to population risk, community, and societal effects. Factors included in the framework represent major topics relating to gambling that range from specific (gambling environment, exposure, types, and resources) to general (cultural, social, psychological, and biological). The framework has been created by international, interdisciplinary experts in order to facilitate an understanding of harmful gambling. It reflects the state of knowledge related to factors influencing harmful gambling, and serves a secondary purpose as a guide for the development of future research programs and to educate policy makers on issues related to harmful gambling. Gambling Research Exchange Ontario (GREO) (formerly the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre (OPGRC) located in Guelph, Ontario, Canada) has facilitated the development of the Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling and retains responsibility for keeping it up-to-date.

Chapter 2: Land, Lineage, and Nation
Creators: name: Crane, Susan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1986
Subjects: English literature

description: The longer romances of English heroes usually connect exile and return to feudal dispossession and reinstatement, and double the hero's winning of land with his winning a bride to continue the lineage. As for Hornand Havelok, the law and the courts are important sources of justification for Bevis, Guy, and Fulk — though this confidence in law breaks down in the later Athelston and Gamelyn. In addition, the diffuse longer works incorporate new sources of validation for noble heroes. Motifs from epic, saints' legends, and courtly poetry demonstrate heroic worth by other standards than winning a heritage. Where these standards conflict, uneasy accommodations
reestablish the heritage as the dominant value for adventuring heroes.

description: In the decades following the Norman Conquest, a new dialect of Old French expressed England's gradual detachment from continental influence. Usually called Anglo-Norman after the political and geographic divisions that gave rise to it, this dialect originated in the many continental vernaculars spoken by the conquerors and their followers, but it soon became "a language apart," defining aurally the separation of its speakers from France. The romances written in Anglo-Norman dialect, while not much noticed on the continent, had a profound influence on emerging Middle English
romance. In this study I argue that Anglo-Norman romances and their Middle English versions form a distinctively "insular" body of works, closely related to one another and to their situation in England. Divided from continental romance in emphases as in language, the insular works share poetic concerns and techniques that respond forcefully to issues of their time and place.
Potential-controlled filtering in quantum star graphs

description: We study the scattering in a quantum star graph with a Fülöp--Tsutsui coupling in its vertex and with external potentials on the lines. We find certain special couplings for which the probability of the transmission between two given lines of the graph is strongly influenced by the potential applied on another line. On the basis of this phenomenon we design a tunable quantum band-pass spectral filter. The transmission from the input to the output line is governed by a potential added on the controlling line. The strength of the potential directly determines the passband position, which allows to control the filter in a macroscopic manner. Generalization of this concept to quantum devices with multiple controlling lines proves possible. It enables the construction of spectral filters with more controllable parameters or with more operation modes. In particular, we design a band-pass filter with independently adjustable multiple passbands. We also address the problem of the physical realization of Fülöp--Tsutsui couplings and demonstrate that the couplings needed for the construction of the proposed quantum devices can be approximated by simple graphs carrying only $δ$ potentials.

description: A global sensitivity analysis of a multiscale computational model of microvascular flow is presented. A total of 140 simulations have been completed and analyzed varying 6 input parameters and considering their effects on 7 output variables. Interestingly, the vascular network topology has been found as a determinant factor for both vasculature-related and interstitium-related quantities. Regarding the firsts, the vascular network topology has obtained a score of 5.5/6 and 6/6 for average and spatial distribution respectively (where 6 is the maximum and 1 is the minimum). On the other hand, considering interstitium-related quantities, the score is 4/6 and 5/6 for average and spatial distribution respectively. These results suggest that the network topology has a significant influence on the outcome of the computational analysis.

AbstractAnifrolumab (anifrolumab-fnia; Saphnelo™) is a monoclonal antibody antagonist of the type 1 interferon receptor (IFNAR). It is being developed by AstraZeneca (under license from Medarex, now Bristol-Myers Squibb) for the treatment of autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis, the underlying pathogenesis of which involves type 1 interferon. In July 2021, intravenous anifrolumab was approved in the USA for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe SLE who are receiving standard therapy. Anifrolumab (intravenous or subcutaneous) continues to be assessed in clinical studies in SLE in various countries, and the intravenous formulation is under regulatory review in the EU and Japan. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of anifrolumab leading to this first approval for the treatment of moderate to severe SLE.

description: In spiral galaxies, we explain their non-Keplerian rotation curves (RCs) by means of a non-luminous component embedding their stellar-gaseous disks. Understanding the detailed properties of this component (labelled Dark Matter, DM) is one of the most pressing issues of Cosmology. We investigate the recent relationship (claimed by Walker et al. 2010, hereafter W+10) between $r$, the galaxy radial coordinate, and $V_h(r)$, the dark halo contribution to the circular velocity at $r$, {\it a}) in the framework of the Universal Rotation Curve (URC) paradigm and directly {\it b}) by means of the kinematics of a large sample of DM dominated spirals. We find a general agreement between the W+10 claim, the distribution of DM emerging from the URC and that inferred in the (low luminosity) objects of our sample. We show that such a phenomenology, linking the spiral's luminosity, radii and circular velocities, implies an evident inconsistency with (naive) predictions in the $Λ$ Cold Dark Matter ($Λ$CDM) scenario.

Subjects: Blunt abdominal trauma, intra-abdominal injuries, management

description: Knowledge of the mechanism of injury of BAT is very important in predicting potential intraabdominal injury. It is now known that in many cases of liver, spleen, and kidney injury... which can be associated with significant bleeding in the early stages after trauma and in a part of cases after starting therapy the patients are treated without operation. An understanding of the mechanism of injury associated with a logical performance for initial, secondary, and tertiary assessment, which are related to the management of traumatized patients and contribute to reducing mortality and morbidity. The alteration from routine techniques in managing non- operator selective intraabdominal organ injuries in BAT now is not innovation. One of the most notable trends in the care of traumatized patients during the last two decades is the use of Damage Control Surgery (DCS) which has revolutionized both in concepts and results. In our study the most damaging solid organ is the liver (52%), while the most damaging cavitary organ is the intestine, in the most part they are combined with one or several damaged organs and associated with extra-abdominal injuries. This difference is inevitably linked to the mechanism of injury, which would become quite evident in this study. Purpose  The evidence of the incidence of intraabdominal injury in BAT to report this to the mechanism of injury, Material and methods The study is retrospective and done within the time period December 2011 to December 2013. In our study included 257 patients who were submitted to the SUT QKT Tirana. After the usual epidemiological data analysis of the data was done in numerical and percentage value divided into three groups according to the mechanism of injury, while not neglecting the use of formulas for calculating the gravity of the injury. All data are depending on the time of presentation to the hospital after trauma and hemodynamic status and is compared with the tactics of treatment that were followed. After all routine examinations were made of all additional examinations depending on the situation as; US, LPD, CT-scanner (if is possible) is made that in cases with neurological changes in TCC with hypotension. In cases of hematuria and suspected ureter injury, we performed pyelography or cystography…
