In this report we examine and find boarding strategies for a two-aisle model on the Airbus 380. Results for this type of airplanes are largely missing from the literature. A powerful MATLAB simulation tool was built in which many relevant parameters such as loading time, walking speed, etc. can be included as deterministic or random variables. We used this tool to test existing strategies for e...

Airplane boarding process is an example where disorder properties of the system are relevant to the emergence of universality classes. Based on a simple model, we present a systematic analysis of finite-size effects in boarding time, and propose a comprehensive view of the role of sequential disorder in the scaling behavior of boarding time against the plane size. Using numerical simulations an...

The boarding process has a very important role in the objective of increase the efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction of an airline industry. It is one of the significant elements of the turnaround time, a slow boarding process might lead to financial issues to the company and, of course, customer complaints. In this paper are analyzed three boarding strategies presenting a model...

BACKGROUND Patient safety and emergency department (ED) functionality are compromised when inefficient coordination between hospital departments impedes ED patients' access to inpatient cardiac care. The objective of this study was to determine how bed demand from competing cardiology admission sources affects ED patients' access to inpatient cardiac care. METHODS A stochastic discrete event ...

For well over a century, there have been boarding schools for American Indian children. During the last decades, the long history of these boarding schools has increasingly come under the review of historians and social scientists. The reviews making the biggest splash focused on those boarding schools having misguided policies or run by incompetent administrators. But often overlooked in these...

BACKGROUND Prolonged hospital discharge boarding can impact patient flow resulting in upstream Emergency Department crowding. We aim to determine the risks predicting prolonged hospital discharge boarding and their direct and indirect effects on patient flow. METHODS Retrospective review of a single hospital discharge database was conducted. Variables including type of disposition, dispositio...

BACKGROUND The demand for critical care beds is increasing out of proportion to bed availability. As a result, some critically ill patients are kept in the Emergency Department (ED boarding) awaiting bed availability. The aim of our study is to examine the impact of boarding in the ED on the outcome of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit(ICU). METHODS This was a retrospective analysi...

Introduction For many dogs, time in a kennel often means a brief stay in a veterinary hospital or boarding facility. In breeding kennels and animal shelters, as well as sites where dogs are used for research, time is measured in weeks, even years. Upon entering a kennel environment, dogs may be confronted with stressful situations, such as new environmental events, sounds, or smells, separation...
