Balanced Allocation: Patience is not a Virtue
Load balancing is a well-studied problem, with balls-in-bins being the primary framework. The greedy algorithm Greedy[d] of Azar et al. places each ball by probing d > 1 random bins and placing the ball in the least loaded of them. It ensures a maximum load that is exponentially better than the strategy of placing each ball uniformly at random. Vöcking showed that a slightly asymmetric variant,...
متن کاملApproach to a low TSH level: patience is a virtue.
Confronted with a low serum level of thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH), physicians should not jump to the conclusion that it is due to a hyperthyroid state, as other conditions and some drugs can be associated with a TSH level that is slightly low (0.1-0.4 microIU/mL) or frankly suppressed (< 0.1 microIU/mL). This review discusses how to approach a low TSH, stressing the frequent n...

The delay of a job is equal to the gap between its arrival time and the last possible time at which it may be started while still meeting its deadline. We introduce an additional restriction that each job must be willing to accept a delay proportional to its job length. That is, we ass...
