We investigate partitioning of integer sequences into heapable subsequences (previously defined and established by Mitzenmacher et al. [BHMZ11]). We show that an extension of patience sorting computes the decomposition into a minimal number of heapable subsequences (MHS). We connect this parameter to an interactive particle system, a multiset extension of Hammersley’s process, and investigate i...

Motivated by applications to service systems, we develop simple engineering approximation formulas for the steady-state performance of heavily-loaded G/GI/n+GI multi-server queues, which can have non-Poisson and non-renewal arrivals and non-exponential service-time and patience-time distributions. The formulas are based on recently established Gaussian manyserver heavy-traffic limits, but invol...

conclusions this study has provided some preliminary evidence of the reliability and validity of the persian version of rcas when used with family caregivers of older adults with dementia. background caregivers’ self-assessments of the care they provide are the main vehicles that help explore their experiences and are thought to have a major role in care outcomes. the rising number of people wi...

Anger in all the ways is harmful socially, physically and psychologically. As the life style is changing and everybody is so occupied therefore the level tolerance has reduced. Especially in young adults patience has reduced and they are less worried about the consequence also. Anger has become a prominent cause of accidents these days and also turns in to driving anger. Mindfulness can be take...

In personalized queues, information at the level of individuals – customers or servers – is affecting system dynamics. Such information is becoming increasingly accessible, directly or statistically, as exemplified by personalized/precision medicine (customers) or call-center workforce management (servers). In the present work, we take advantage of personalized information about customers, spec...

Motivated by applications in call center management, we propose a framework based on empirical process techniques for inference about the waiting time and patience distribution in multiserver queues with abandonment. The framework rigorises heuristics based on survival analysis of independent and identically distributed observations by allowing correlated successive waiting times. Assuming a re...

Past research has regularly linked the experience of affect to increased impatience and, thereby, decreased self-control. Given emerging work identifying the emotion gratitude as a fairly unique affective state capable of enhancing, rather than inhibiting, patience, the present study examined the association between chronically elevated gratitude and individual differences in temporal discounti...

This article serves as a conceptual analysis to explore and interrogate the definition of meaning through framework collective trauma uncertainty. The author uses COVID19 pandemic reference point illustrate models behavior sustained by onset trauma. Unpredictability adversity are amongst factors identified key underpinnings preluding search for meaning, while implication resilience, identificat...

This study sheds light on the relationship between cognition and patience by documenting that correlation cognitive abilities delay discounting is weaker for same group of individuals if choices are incentivized. conjectures higher effort, which induces involvement system, moderates cognition. For 107 participants drawn from adult population in Tbilisi, this examines various measures ability pa...
