<p>Time management is the study to use time scientifically by deploying skills, techniques and means, and maximizing time value to help individuals or organizations efficiently complete tasks and achieve goals. University professor as a body is an important force in teaching and research. In order to ensure high-quality teaching, productive research, we should establish appropriate service systems to help professors save time and improve efficiency. Time management is the main point of penetration in this research. The responsibilities and missions of professors in universities are the main points of concern. The responsibilities for universities to improve the quality of time management for professors were analyzed. Suggestions and counter measures used to economize time and to improve efficiency for professors with better service were proposed. Through introducing the concept and methods of time management for professor-service into the system, one can greatly improve the service quality, optimize professors’ time allocation, increase work efficiency.</p>

Changes in myocardial metabolism can be detected externally by registration of time-activity curves after administration of radioiodinated fatty acids. In this scintigraphic study the influence of lactate on fatty acid metabolism was investigated in the normal human myocardium, traced with 123l-17-iodoheptadecanoic acid (123l-17-HDA). In patients (paired, n = 7) lactate loading decreased the uptake of 123l-17-HDA significantly from 27 (control: 22-36) to 20 counts/min/pixel (16-31; p <0.05 Wilcoxon). The half-time value increased to more than 60 rriin (n = 5), oxidation decreased from 61 to 42%. Coronary vasodilatation, a well-known side effect of lactate loading, was studied separately in a dipyridamole study (paired, n = 6). Coronary vasodilatation did not influence the parameters of the time-activity curve. These results suggest that changes in plasma lactate level as occurring, among other effects, during exercise will influence the parameters of dynamic 123l-17-HDA scintigraphy of the heart.

Optimal fitting of a myocardial time-activity curve is accomplished with a monoexponential plus a constant, resulting in three parameters: amplitude and half-time of the monoexponential and the constant. The aim of this study was to estimate the precision of the calculated parameters. The variability of the parameter values as a function of the acquisition time was studied in 11 patients with cardiac complaints. Of the three parameters the half-time value varied most strongly with the acquisition time. An acquisition time of 80 min was needed to keep the standard deviation of the half-time value within ±10%. To estimate the standard deviation of the half-time value as a function of the parameter values, of the noise content of the time-activity curve and of the acquisition time, a model experiment was used. In most cases the SD decreased by 50% if the acquisition time was increased from 60 to 90 min. A low amplitude/constant ratio and a high half-time value result in a high SD of the half-time value. Tables are presented to estimate the SD in a particular case.

This series of videos, Chief Resource Management Officer, decontextualizes and amplifies mundane tasks and actions, exposing an inherent absurdity and dry humor. Conceptually and visually, I engage themes of corporate management structures, cult dynamics, and Sisyphean tasks. Within this work, I am primarily interested in developing situations that disrupt familiar social and political hierarchies. Utilizing recognizable apparel and gestures, I playfully occupy the threshold of absurdity while asking questions about time, value, routines, and the monetization of work and/or presence.
