A low transitional-1 B cell IL-10/TNF? ratio predicts rejection and supports preemptive intervention for patients after kidney transplantation.

The analysis of link-based global scheduling presented in [1, 2] rests on the assumptions that (i) schedulability is established using a global schedulability test assuming fully preemptive, independent tasks,1 and that (ii) any additional delays incurred due to non-preemptive sections are accounted for by inflating the worst-case execution parameter of each task prior to applying the test. We ...

We give a closed-form expression for the discounted weighted queue length and switching costs of a two-class single-server queueing model under a preemptive priority rule. These expressions are used to do a single step of policy iteration in a polling model with a dynamically controlled switching rule, starting from the preemptive priority rule. Numerical experiments show that this leads to a p...
