A Tandem Queue with Server Slow-down and Blocking
We consider two variants of a two-station tandem network with blocking. In both variants the first server ceases to work when the queue length at the second station hits a ‘blocking threshold.’ In addition, in variant 2 the first server decreases its service rate when the second queue exceeds a ‘slow-down threshold,’ which is smaller than the blocking level. In both variants the arrival process...
متن کاملBlocking IL-1 in systemic inflammation
A growing number of systemic inflammatory diseases characterized in part by recurrent fevers, leukocytosis, anemia, and elevated acute phase proteins are linked to interleukin (IL)-1 activity since rapid and sustained resolution is observed upon specific blockade of IL-1 receptors. Rapid resolution of systemic and local inflammation is now also reported in systemic onset juvenile idiopathic art...
متن کاملSpeech intelligibility decline in individuals with fast and slow rates of ALS progression
Based on the slope of speech intelligibility decline, 54 individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were classified as fast or slow bulbar disease progressors. Following group assignment, the course of speech decline was modeled separately for these two subgroups. Fast progressors were characterized by a three-phase progression pattern with intelligibility declining at a progressively...
متن کاملCan Raising Vitamin D Status Slow Down Covid-19 Waves?
Several mitigation and suppression policies, such as social distancing, city lockdowns, remote working, testing, providing personal protective equipment and health care resource availability have been implemented by the governments in response to Covid-19 pandemic. Until now (October 23, 2020), over 1.14 million deaths in the world including 31,650 just in Iran have been officially attributed t...
متن کاملSchwann cells expressing dismutase active mutant SOD1 unexpectedly slow disease progression in ALS mice.
Neurodegeneration in an inherited form of ALS is non-cell-autonomous, with ALS-causing mutant SOD1 damage developed within multiple cell types. Selective inactivation within motor neurons of an ubiquitously expressed mutant SOD1 gene has demonstrated that mutant damage within motor neurons is a determinant of disease initiation, whereas mutant synthesis within neighboring astrocytes or microgli...
