CPU utilization, throughput, turnaround time, waiting time, and response time are the factor to influence system performance. Every system uses different scheduling algorithms to achieve his goal. In the grid computing, resources usages are important to get good performance . When jobs are not uniformly distributed in all grid nodes, job scheduling is more important . In order to achieve perfor...

OBJECTIVES To compare the microbiological efficacy, turnaround time, cost, convenience, and patient and user tolerance of Tristel Trio Wipes, PeraSafe solution and Cidex OPA solution for the high-level disinfection of flexible nasendoscopes. METHODS Flexible nasendoscopes were used in routine clinical encounters. They were then disinfected with one of the three disinfectant methods. Surveilla...

This study was conducted to compare real-time voice recognition software to a traditional transcription service. Two emergency department (ED) physicians dictated 47 charts using a voice dictation software program and a traditional transcription service. Accuracy, word per minute dictation time and turnaround time were calculated from the data. The transcription service used in our study was mo...

PURPOSE Prolonged patient wait times in the outpatient oncology infusion unit indicated a need to streamline phlebotomy processes by using existing resources to decrease laboratory turnaround time and improve patient wait time. METHODS Using the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) method, a project to streamline phlebotomy processes within the outpatient oncology infusion unit ...

We have developed a light scattering technique based on differential measurement and polarization (differential light scattering, DLS) capable in principle of retrieving timing information with picosecond resolution without the need for fast electronics. DLS was applied to sonoluminescence, duplicating known results (sharp turnaround, self-similar collapse); the resolution was limited by intens...
