Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Holt (Online service) 655998

“…Sapolsky focuses on the effects of glucocorticoids on the human body, arguing that such hormones may be useful to animals in the wild escaping their predators, (see Fight-or-flight response) but the effects on humans, when secreted at high quantities or over long periods of time, are much less desirable. Sapolsky relates the history of endocrinology, how the field reacted at times of discovery, and how it has changed through the years. …”

Flow network models for online scheduling real-time tasks on multiprocessors by Cho, Hyeonjoong, Easwaran, Arvind

“…However, the previous works have limitations, for example, that they are classified as offline scheduling techniques since they establish a flow network model or an LP problem considering a very long time interval. In this study, we propose how to construct the flow network model for online scheduling periodic real-time tasks on multiprocessors. …”
