Scheduling for Fast Turnaround Time on Institutional Desktop grid
Institutional desktop grids, that is, grids comprised by the desktop machines of an institution (academic or corporate) can act as an important source of computing power for local user, if the high volatility of such resources is properly harnessed. In this paper, we focus on scheduling techniques that can improve turnaround time of bagof-tasks applications. For that purpose, we combine shared-...
متن کاملUpfront dilution of ferritin samples to reduce hook effect, improve turnaround time and reduce costs
Introduction Sandwich immunoassays offer advantages in the clinical laboratory but can yield erroneously low results due to hook (prozone) effect, especially with analytes whose concentrations span several orders of magnitude such as ferritin. This study investigated a new approach to reduce the likelihood of hook effect in ferritin immunoassays by performing upfront, five-fold dilutions of all...
