چکیده
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent UK lockdown were a catalyst for mass waiting. This paper will focus on phenomenon, particular form of waiting observed in shopping queues during lock down the North East England. Waiting practices formed through have opened new forms feeling, requiring articulation. As such experiments with language speculatively describing feelings temporalities metaphor, suspension. Initially outlines what is does order to provide touchstone when considering within It then considers liquid suspension can open as writing device. Then working aligned concepts surface viscosity, explores morphologies mood sensation felt shared queues.

Waiting times in queues with relative priorities
This paper determines the mean waiting times for a single server multi-class queueing model with Poisson arrivals and relative priorities. If the server becomes idle, the probability that the next job is from class-i is proportional to the product between the number of class-i jobs present and their priority parameter. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملWaiting time characteristics in cyclic queues
In this paper we study a single-server queue with FIFO service and cyclic interarrival and service times. An efficient approximative algorithm is developed for the first two moments of the waiting time. Numerical results are included to demonstrate that the algorithm yields accurate results. For the special case of exponential interarrival times we present a simple exact analysis.

Queues with waiting time dependent service
Motivated by service levels in terms of the waiting-time distribution seen, for instance, in call centers, we consider two models for systems with a service discipline that depends on the waiting time. The first model deals with a single server that continuously adapts its service rate based on the waiting time of the first customer in line. In the second model, one queue is served by a primary...
متن کاملHerding in Queues with Waiting Costs: Rationality and Regret
We study how consumers with waiting cost disutility choose between two congested services of unknown service value. Consumers observe an imperfect private signal indicating which service facility may provide better service value, as well as the queue lengths at the service facilities before making their choice. If more consumers choose the same service facility because of their private informat...
