In this paper, a new real-time disk scheduling algorithm called BFI (best-fit-insertion) is proposed. Notably, different from the conventional realtime problem, the service time of a disk request depends on its schedule result. As the service time is not a constant value, it is time-consuming to verify the feasibility of a schedule. In this paper, we introduce a temporal parameter called maximu...

In this paper, we describe the results of an exploratory pilot study examining the use of a video game as an assessment tool. This is part of a larger project aimed at identifying the components and mechanics of accurate and engaging assessment games. A critical step towards this goal is to understand what player behaviors might naturally be associated with traditionally measured human variable...

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the dose of synthetic hormones in hormonal contraceptives (HCs) is related to between-subject variation in personality. HC users reported the brand of their HC and completed the Big Five Inventory (BFI). Each woman’s dose of synthetic hormones was calculated and a median split assigned women to the high or low synthetic estrogen group and the ...
