The GI/G/1 model with warming-up time

Warming up at the poles.

Introduction This series of meetings (Palazzo, 2002; Stearns & Winey, 1997) began as a joint ASCB/EMBO venture in 1997 with a meeting that was a landmark event, not only because a minor field had grown to fill an entire meeting, but also because key presentations defined the course of the field for years to come. The first biochemical mass spectrometric analysis of the budding yeast spindle pol...

Warming up storage-level caches with bonfire

Large caches in storage servers have become essential for meeting service levels required by applications. These caches need to be warmed with data often today due to various scenarios including dynamic creation of cache space and server restarts that clear cache contents. When large storage caches are warmed at the rate of application I/O, warmup can take hours or even days, thus affecting bot...

Warming up to ischemia.

Warming-up in USRPT

Some activities for in-pool warm-ups have been evaluated. An historically important study was conducted by Carlile (1956). It was shown that the passive activity of tolerating a hot shower for as long as possible prior to performing a maximal 55-yard swim produced improved performances in all subjects significantly more than in a control group (no hot showers). A passive warm-up is possible if ...

Exercise training with ischaemia: is warming up the key?

Exercise testing remains a key tool in the management of patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) both in a diagnostic and rehabilitation setting. A familiar scenario involves performing an exercise test to identify inducible ischaemia either to determine whether IHD is a likely diagnosis or as a prelude to a structured exercise programme in individuals with a recent acute coronary syndrome ...
