Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm is a preemptive scheduling algorithm. It is designed especially for time sharing Operating System (OS). In RR scheduling algorithm the CPU switches between the processes when the static Time Quantum (TQ) expires. RR scheduling algorithm is considered as the most widely used scheduling algorithm in research because the TQ is equally shared among the processe...

BACKGROUND To analyze the turnaround times of psychiatric patients within the Emergency Department (ED) from registration to discharge or hospitalization in a University Hospital in 2002. METHODS Data from a one-year period of psychiatric admissions to the emergency service at a University Hospital were monitored and analyzed focused on turnaround times within the ED. Information on patients ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of cancer death, is preventable with colonoscopic screening. Colonoscopy cost is high, and optimizing resource utilization for colonoscopy is important. This study's aim is to evaluate resource allocation for optimal use of facilities for colonoscopy screening. METHOD The authors used data from a computerized colonoscopy database to devel...

Background& Objective: Each laboratory should determine the type of errors and turnaround time (TAT), especially in the preanalytical phase to report quality and timeliness of the test results. The current study aimed at investigating the common causes of preanalytical errors in biochemistry and hematology laboratories and evaluating the preanalytical ...

CPU scheduling is one of the most primary and essential part of any operating system. It prioritizes processes to efficiently execute the user requests and help in choosing the appropriate process for execution. Round Robin (RR) & Priority Scheduling(PS) are one of the most widely used and acceptable CPU scheduling algorithm. But, its performance degrades with respect to turnaround time, waitin...
