Technology has facilitated platform-mediated work, and individuals are often encouraged to engage with technology using various digital solutions. However, for platform workers, the use of can lead overload, which may negatively impact their burnout performance. In this paper, we examine interplay between individuals’ cognitive absorption in overload predicting gig workers’ creative output. Usi...

By and large, prior research has focused on the positive aspects of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). D. W. Organ and K. Ryan (1995), though, suggest that individuals who engage in high levels of OCB may become overloaded. This research explores the relationship between a specific type of OCB--namely, individual initiative--and role overload, job stress, and work-family conflict. Resul...

Embedded systems can fail to operate correctly due to interrupt overload: starvation caused by too many interrupt requests. This paper describes three new techniques, two software-based and one hardware-based, for creating systems that delay or drop excessive interrupt requests before they can overload a processor. Our solutions to the interrupt overload problem have several desirable propertie...

Major standards organizations, ITU, ETSI, and 3GPP have all adopted SIP as a basic signalling protocol for NGN. The current SIP overload control mechanism is unable to prevent congestion collapse and may spread the overload condition throughout the network. In this paper, we investigate one of the implementations of loss based overload control scheme developed by IETF work group which uses hyst...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Iron overload is the result of many disorders and could lead to the development of organ damage and increased mortality. The recent description of new conditions associated with iron overload and the identification of the genetic defect of hereditary hemochromatosis prompted us to review this subject and to redefine the diagnostic criteria of iron overload disorders. ...
