BACKGROUND One of the many challenges facing emergency departments (EDs) across North America is timely access to emergency radiology services. Academic institutions, which are typically also regional referral centres, frequently require cross-sectional studies to be performed 24 hours a day with expedited final reports to accelerate patient care and ED flow. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this stu...

Introduction Sandwich immunoassays offer advantages in the clinical laboratory but can yield erroneously low results due to hook (prozone) effect, especially with analytes whose concentrations span several orders of magnitude such as ferritin. This study investigated a new approach to reduce the likelihood of hook effect in ferritin immunoassays by performing upfront, five-fold dilutions of all...

I n the January issue of the European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) we outlined some of the issues that we felt to be important in the peer-review process [1], and hoped that the changes we were about to implement would reduce the reviewing turnaround time. Six months on, we are proud to announce that the median length of time it takes for authors to be notified with a first decision about their ma...

To assess the feasibility of proposed launch schedules for the Space Shuttle, we have developed a simulation model of the flow of activities comprising Shuttle turnaround processing. Considering queueing delays caused by the limited capacity of ground facilities, the model estimates flight starting dates needed to meet a given launch schedule with a specified level of confidence. The results of...

Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools are commonly adopted in the design, synthesis and simulation of digital circuits. Switch-level simulation, logic synthesis, timing analysis and architecture optimizations are essential CAD tools during digital IC design flow. However, the HDL coding, computation complexity and simulation time overhead makes the design turnaround time much longer. This drawback ...

Grid computing enables sharing, selection and aggregation of computing resources for solving complex and large-scale scientific problems. The resources making up a grid need to be managed to provide a good quality of service. Grid scheduling is a vital component of a Computational Grid infrastructure. This paper presents a dynamic cluster based job scheduling algorithm for efficient execution o...

This empirical paper models three structural factors that are hypothesized to affect the turnaround times between the publication of security advisories and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). The three structural factors are: (i) software product age at the time of advisory release; (ii) severity of vulnerabilities coordinated; and (iii) amounts of CVEs referenced in advisories. Altho...
