task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and np-hard problem. in this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. these two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the other on...

The effects of the pre-exposure schedule (concurrent, intermixed, and blocked) to two similar visual stimuli were assessed in three different tasks. Participants were more accurate identifying one of two pre-exposed stimuli as the target by means of same/different judgments after concurrent than intermixed or blocked pre-exposures. Regardless of pre-exposure schedule, participants were accurate...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the morbidity and mortality in patients with operable stage ii and iii rectal cancers within one or two months after surgery, who has been treated pre-operatively with short course radiotherapy. twenty-eight patients with rectal adenocarcinoma, consecutively referred to the cancer institute of imam khomeini hospital from march 2009 to march 2010, were selec...

Abstract—Pre-construction is essential in achieving the success of a construction project. Due to the early involvement of project participants in the construction phase, project managers are able to plan ahead and solve issues well in advance leading to the success of the project and the satisfaction of the client. This research utilizes quantitative data derived from construction management p...

Resource-constrained project scheduling with activity pre-emption assumes that activities are allowed to be interrupted and restarted later in the schedule at no extra cost. In the current paper, we extend this pre-emptive scheduling problem with setup times between activity interruptions and the possibility to fast track pre-emptive subparts of activities. The contribution of the paper is twof...

This phase I/II neoadjuvant trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00066443) determined maximally-tolerated doses (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities, response-to-therapy, and explored the role of novel response biomarkers. MA.22 accrued T3N0, any N2 or N3, and T4 breast cancer patients. Treatment was 6 cycles of 3-weekly (Schedule A; N = 47) or 8 cycles of 2-weekly (Schedule B; N = 46) epirubicin...
