Heavy traffic analysis of open processing networks with complete resource pooling: Asymptotic optimality of discrete review policies
TLDR
A simple discrete review policy for controlling open stochastic processing networks, with feedback routing and overlapping server capabilities, in heavy traffic, is proposed and a conceptually simple proof of asymptotic optimality of the proposed policy is provided.

Structural Estimation of Callers' Delay Sensitivity in Call Centers
TLDR
The analysis reveals that modeling endogenous caller behavior can be important when major changes such as a change in service discipline are implemented and that using a model with an exogenously specified abandonment distribution may be misleading.

Dynamic Control of an M/M/1 Service System with Adjustable Arrival and Service Rates
TLDR
A service facility in which the system manager dynamically controls the arrival and service rates to maximize the long-run average value generated is studied, finding that the optimal arrival rate is decreasing and the optimal service rate is increasing in the number of customers in the system.

Severe early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome following GnRH agonist trigger with the addition of 1500 IU hCG.
TLDR
It would be prudent to avoid hCG luteal rescue and freeze all embryos for future transfer in such women particularly when there are ≥18 follicles with 10-14 mm diameters even with few larger follicles.

Luteal phase empirical low molecular weight heparin administration in patients with failed ICSI embryo transfer cycles: a randomized open-labeled pilot trial.
TLDR
Observed relative increase by 30% in live birth rates with LMWH may be regarded as a clinically significant trend necessitating further research on the use of empirical LMWH in women with RIF and possibly in all women undergoing assisted reproduction treatment.

Drift rate control of a Brownian processing system
A system manager dynamically controls a diffusion process Z that lives in a finite interval [0,b]. Control takes the form of a negative drift rate \theta that is chosen from a fixed set A of…

GnRH agonist protocol administration in the luteal phase in ICSI-ET cycles stimulated with the long GnRH agonist protocol: a randomized, controlled double blind study.
TLDR
Single 0.1 mg triptorelin administration 6 days after ICSI following ovarian stimulation with the long GnRH agonist protocol does not seem to result in an increase >or=12% in ongoing pregnancy rates.

A randomized controlled study of human Day 3 embryo cryopreservation by slow freezing or vitrification: vitrification is associated with higher survival, metabolism and blastocyst formation.
TLDR
Analysis of metabolism revealed that vitrification had less impact on the metabolic rate of the embryo than freezing, which was reflected in higher survival rate and subsequent development in vitro, and is, therefore, a more effective means of cryopreserving the human embryo than conventional slow freezing.

Near-Optimal Dynamic Lead-Time Quotation and Scheduling Under Convex-Concave Customer Delay Costs
TLDR
This work provides recommended policies for convex, concave, and convex-concave lead-time cost functions and proves that these policies are asymptotically optimal and provide delay guarantees for all served customers.

Impact of Delay Announcements in Call Centers: An Empirical Approach
TLDR
An empirical study of the impact of delay announcements on callers’ abandonment behavior and the performance of a call center with two priority classes finds that in this call center, callers' abandonment behavior is affected by the announcement messages heard.
