Automatic and accurate detection of breast cancer metastases is meaningful for reducing the workload of the pathologists and reducing the cost of diagnosis. In this paper, we presented a learning-based method for automated prediction of breast cancer metastasis stages. This method is trained and validated on Camelyon17 challenge datasets. The method consists of three parts: tissue extraction, t...

Guaranteeing quality for differentiated services while ensuring resource efficiency is an important and yet challenging problem in large computing clusters. Priority scheduling is commonly adopted in production systems to minimize the response time of high-priority workload by means of preempting the execution of low-priority workload when faced with limited resources. As a result, the system p...

Write ampli€cation is an undesirable phenomenon with ƒash memory based SSDs, which not only reduces endurance of ƒash memory, but also imposes write performance penalty on SSDs. Œis paper discusses how to eliminate or reduce the write ampli€cation of SSD interface presenting ƒash memory as a linear array of updatable sectors so that SSD’s performance and endurance can be both improved greatly. ...

Background: In demanding cognitive tasks, older people mostly experience more problems than younger people, and their brain workload is higher. An overloaded or exhausted mental workload is frequently associated with unsafe driving behavior. In this paper, we hypothesize that 10 active training sessions in a driving simulator positively influence brain workload, which relates to a beneficial in...

This study was designed to quantitatively assess the impact of deficiencies in completeness and precision of hospital case cost data on cost weight compression. For the nursing per diem model versus the nursing workload model the average compression was 19.6 percent (for the 25.9 percent of cases that changed cost weight by at least 5 percent). We concluded that the compression of case mix cost...

Clustered microarchitectures are an effective approach to reducing the penalties caused by wire delays inside a chip. Current superscalar processors have in fact a two-cluster microarchitecture with a naive code partitioning approach: integer instructions are allocated to one cluster and floating-point instructions to the other. This partitioning scheme is simple and results in no communication...

Workload issue in computer science project courses are addressed in this paper. We briefly discuss why high workloads occur in project courses and the reasons they are a problem. We then describe some course changes we made to reduce the workload in a software engineering project course, without compromising course quality. The techniques include: adopting an iterative and incremental process, ...

This study examined the influence of workload and dual-task performance decrements associated with the SPAM technique. Participants performed the Air Traffic Scenarios Test (ATST), which is a low fidelity air traffic control simulator developed by the Federal Aviation Administration. Performance on the ATST was followed by post-run questionnaires (baseline conditions) or in conjunction with SPA...

This paper is a quantitative analysis on packet switched network with a view to generalize load balancing and determination of appropriate routing algorithm in multipath environment. Several routing algorithms have been introduced for routing of packets from source to destination. Some of them route packets accurately with increased workload and some of them drastically cut down the workload. A...
