Balanced Allocation: Patience is not a Virtue
Load balancing is a well-studied problem, with balls-in-bins being the primary framework.

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).

The most patient bidder receives the delayed reward; all others receive the immediate payoff. These auctions allow us to c...
