In Round Robin CPU scheduling algorithm the main concern is with the size of time quantum and the increased waiting and turnaround time. Decision for these is usually based on parameters which are assumed to be precise. However, in many cases the values of these parameters are vague and imprecise. The performance of fuzzy logic depends upon the ability to deal with Linguistic variables. With th...

We present the architecture and design of a new transponder to support deepspace and near-Earth missions in the post-2010 time frame. This transponder is designed to provide direct-to-Earth command and telemetry service; spacecraftto-spacecraft command and telemetry service; direct-to-Earth navigation in the form of coherent Doppler turnaround, sequential turn-around ranging, pseudo-noise regen...

Introduction
 Turnaround time is one of the most important signs a laboratory service which many clinicians use to evaluate quality laboratory. 
 Pandemic has enlightened importance medicine in healthcare organizations. Each step total testing process can be affected by errors essential medicine. Our study aims impact COVID-19 pandemic on turnaround time.

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...
