ORK-LOAD CONTROL FACTORS in clinical laboratories are not available in the literature. Business engineering and manpower-study methods are not readily applicable to laboratory work in which varied human elements exist. The remarkable variety of methods, choice of technics, personal viewpoints, lack of contacts, and few chances for direct comparison with the work of others in the field also make...

In this chapter, we present a methodology for efficient load balancing of computational problems that can be easily decomposed into multiple tasks, but where it is hard to predict the computation cost of each task, and where new tasks are created dynamically during runtime. We present this methodology and its exploitation and feasibility in the context of graphics processors. Work-stealing allo...

Work-stealing schedulers focus on minimizing overhead in task scheduling. Consequently, they avoid features, such as task priorities, which can add overhead to the implementation. Thus in such schedulers, low priority tasks may be scheduled earlier, delaying the execution of higher priority tasks and possibly increasing overall execution time. In this paper, we develop a decentralized work-stea...

Background: Occupations that deal with the health and safety of people are always stressful. Job stress and work load are factors that affect staff such as nurses. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between workload and job stress in nurses of Vasei Hospital, Sabzevar City, Iran, in 2016. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional study was conducted on 80 nurses of Vas...
