Work-life balance (WLB) can be described as the fulfillment of the duties and responsibilities of workers in their private and business lives in addition to minimizing the conflicts between business and private lives. This can be achieved with self-scheduling of workers only by allocating fair time for private life as well as work life. In enterprises, the workers demand, starting time and working hours of a job can vary according to the nature of the job done and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of workers. The main idea of this study is to develop a method which is balancing between work and private life by considering a self-scheduled working plan regulated systematical as far as weekly or monthly determining qualities and quantities of doctors and nurses to fulfill the needs for different departments of a hospital, considering the number of patients at different hours of a day. In this study, a prototype software was developed to fulfil the requirement of workers and enterprises for balancing work-life considering demands of workers and employers. The developed software can record the numbers and attributes of required personnel to a database according to daily, weekly or monthly demands. The current numbers and attributes of workers then requirements of the employer are entered into the database. Then, workers can choose their work times by considering day and hours from this database. The developed software reconciles the needs of the enterprise and personnel demands with synchronizing the needed working hours of enterprise and selection of personnel. Work assignments are done by personnel requests. Personnel decides their own working time so that monthly and weekly schedules can be obtained. The software is coded in Ms C# programming language and is applied in a hospital. The personnel demands which changes monthly, weekly and different working hours in a day can be assigned by considering doctors and nurses requests' with the help of developed so

In this work, classification of cellular structures in the high resolutional histopathological images and the discrimination of cellular and non-cellular structures have been investigated. The cell classification is a very exhaustive and time-consuming process for pathologists in medicine. The development of digital imaging in histopathology has enabled the generation of reasonable and effective solutions to this problem. Morever, the classification of digital data provides easier analysis of cell structures in histopathological data. Convolutional neural network (CNN), constituting the main theme of this study, has been proposed with different spatial window sizes in RGB color spaces. Hence, to improve the accuracies of classification results obtained by supervised learning methods, spatial information must also be considered. So, spatial dependencies of cell and non-cell pixels can be evaluated within different pixel neighborhoods in this study. In the experiments, the CNN performs superior than other pixel classification methods including SVM and k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN). At the end of this paper, several possible directions for future research are also proposed.

Optical character recognition(OCR) can be used in some management mechanisms of state and business world to organize documents scanned or captured by camera. Therefore, OCR is one of the subjects rapidly evolving in the recent times. This study investigates the procedure steps until character recognition. That's because, the more correctly preprocessings are applied;the better results can be obtained in character recognition. In this study, the algorithms providing the best results are determined by following the procedure stages of gray scale transformation, noise removal and image thresholding. Binarization plays an important role in character recognition. For this reason, algorithms dynamically determine thresholds are preferred for character recognition in this study. Accordingly, Otsu thresholding method was determined to give the best results in terms of both picture quality and speed. Therefore, this method was used for character recognition. Primarily, lines were determined for character separation and then letters were individually obtained.

Furthermore, the abstract contained an error in the SNP ID for the rare variant in chromosome Xq23, which was incorrectly given as rs146662057 and should have been rs146662075. These errors have now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.

On large-scale clusters, tens to hundreds of applications can simultaneously access a parallel file system, leading to contention and in its wake to degraded application performance. However, the degree of interference depends on the specific file access pattern. On the basis of synchronized time-slice profiles, we compare the interference potential of different file access patterns. We consider both micro-benchmarks, to study the effects of certain patterns in isolation, and realistic applications to gauge the severity of such interference under production conditions. In particular, we found that writing large files simultaneously with small files can slow down the latter at small chunk sizes but the former at larger chunk sizes. We further show that such effects can seriously affect the runtime of real applications-up to a factor of five in one instance. In the future, both our insights and profiling techniques can be used to automatically classify the interference potential between applications and to adjust scheduling decisions accordingly.
The potential of heterogeneous multicores, like the Cell BE, can only be exploited if the host and the accelerator cores are used in parallel and if the specific features of the cores are considered. Parallel programm...
