Background: Considering that college student-athletes spend a lot of time attending to academic and athletic tasks, their well-being can be compromised. Published literature on the impact demands is limited. Hence, scholarly place current study warranted. Objective: This research investigated effects use subjective, emotional, physical student-athletes. Methods: A subset NCAA GOALS data, which ...

Many safety critical real-time systems follow the time triggered approach using off-line scheduling methods for reasons of determinism, simple fault tolerance, certifiability, etc. By their very nature, offline schedules cannot handle activities which are not known completely at design time. While some methods have been presented to integrate event-triggered activities at runtime, these require...

The dramatic increasing of sea-freight container transportations and the developing trend for using containers in the multimodal handling systems through the sea, rail, road and land in the present market cause some challenges to the general managers of container terminals such as increasing demand, competitive situation, new investments and expansion of new activities and the need to use new m...

Human error is a significant and ever-growing problem in the healthcare sector. In this study, resource allocation problem is considered along with human errors to optimize utilization of resources in an emergency department. The algorithm is composed of simulation, artificial neural network (ANN), design of experiment (DOE) and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). It is a multi-response opt...

The goal of runtime verification is to inspect the well-being of a system by employing a monitor during its execution. Such monitoring imposes costs in terms of resource utilization. Memory usage and predictability of the monitor invocations are among the indicators of the quality of a monitoring solution, especially in the context of embedded systems. In this paper, we propose a novel control-...

Real-time database systems support data processing needs of real-time systems where transactions have time constraints. Here we consider repetitively executed transactions, and assume that execution histories are logged. A well-known priority assignment technique called earliest-deadline-first is biased towards short transactions in which short transactions have better chances of completing the...

The proliferation of high-volume time-critical web services such as online trading calls f o r a scalable server design that allows meeting individual response-time guarantees of real-time transactions. A main challenge is to honor these guarantees despite unpredictability in incoming server load. The extremely high volume of real-time service requests mandates constant-time scheduling and sche...
