In this paper, we analyze the performance of a lightpath configuration method for optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) in WDM asymmetric ring network. We consider a multiple queueing system for a node in the ring network and derive loss probability and wavelength utilization factor. Numerical examples show how arrival rate from access network and the threshold specified in the dynamic configurat...

In this paper, we propose an approach to estimate the byte loss probability in computer network links considering multifractal properties of traffic flows. More specifically, we obtain a mathematical expression for the loss probability for finite buffer servers fed by multifractal traffic flows. The proposed approach is based on the Many Sources theory and on the multiplicative cascade based mu...

the main purpose of this study is measuring and comparing of peanut harvesting loss in manual and mechanical methods in addition to economic analysis of them. hence, a field was selected in astaneh-ashrafiyeh and divided to three different plots. two plots were applied to measure mechanical harvesting loss and third one was applied for manual harvesting loss. according to test results, the lowe...

PURPOSE To compare the rates of progression of visual field defects in glaucoma patients, by using the Glaucoma Change Probability program based on pattern deviation and total deviation probability maps. METHODS The incidence of progression of visual field loss among 67 eyes of 56 glaucoma patients with an average of 6 years of follow-up was estimated by applying the criteria set by the Early...

BACKGROUND Using models of respiratory compromise, loss of response to esophageal instrumentation, and loss of responsiveness, the authors explored through simulation published dosing schemes for endoscopy using propofol alone and in combination with selected opioids. They hypothesized that models would predict adequate conditions for esophageal instrumentation and once drug administration is t...

This paper describes the analysis of the influence of yield loss model parameters on the calculation of the probability of arising shorts between conducting paths in IC’s. The characterization of the standard cell in AMS 0.8 μm CMOS technology is presented as well as obtained probability results and estimations of yield loss by changing values of model parameters. Keywords— yield model paramete...

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) aims to provide higher utilization and greater flexibility at a lower cost and reduced complexity than current optical circuit switched networks. We introduce a new routing protocol for Optical Burst Switching, Shortest Path Prioritized Random Deflection Routing (SP-PRDR), that aims to lower burst loss probabilities while only using limited state information from t...
