Nail-gun injury is commonly encountered in the emergency department. The severity of the injury depends on the specific injuries to organs and vascular structures. Computed tomography (CT) is the ideal imaging test of choice, as it can identify the more critical injuries that require immediate intervention.

CT of the brain showed a foreign body penetrating throu...
متن کاملManaging self-inflicted nondeterminism
When a computation is replicated for greater availability – either by simultaneous execution on multiple machines or by restarting it after a crash – the problem of keeping replicas consistent arises. Replicas lose consistency when their run-time states diverge. This can happen because of differences in hardware inputs (clock ticks, network packets, keystrokes, etc.), which in turn lead to diff...
