This paper introduces a deterministic fluid model that approximates the many-server Gt/GI/st + GI queueing model, and determines the time-dependent performance functions. The fluid model has time-varying arrival rate and service capacity, abandonment from queue, and non-exponential service and patience distributions. Two key assumptions are that: (i) the system alternates between overloaded and...

A field experiment was carried out to calibrate and evaluate the METRIC (Mapping EvapoTranspiration at high Resolution Internalized with Calibration) model for estimating the spatial and temporal variability of instantaneous net radiation (Rni), soil heat flux (Gi), sensible heat flux (Hi), and latent heat flux (LEi) over a drip-irrigated apple (Malus domestica cv. Pink Lady) orchard located in...

We introduce and analyze a deterministic fluid model that serves as an approximation for the Gt/GI/st + GI many-server queueing model, which has a general time-varying arrival process (the Gt), a general service-time distribution (the first GI), a time-dependent number of servers (the st) and allows abandonment from queue according to a general abandonment-time distribution (the +GI). This flui...

After the age of 65 years, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) requires the elimination of digestive neoplasia and is explored with upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. However, such explorations are negative in 14% to 37% of patients. To further evaluate this issue, we evaluated the outcomes of patients aged over 65 years with endoscopy-negative IDA.We retrospectively analyzed the outcome...

and Applied Analysis 3 then HIDS will reduce to the following fixed point problem P3 : P3 Find v v i∈I ∈ Y such that vi ∈ Fi vi and v ∈ Gi v, yi for all yi ∈ Ti v for all i ∈ I. Example 1.4. For each i ∈ I, let Fi : X × Yi Ui and Gi : Y × Yi Zi be multivalued maps with nonempty values. If Hi and Ai are defined as follows: Hi { yi ∈ Yi : θUi / ∈ Fi ( u, yi )} , Ai ( y ) { zi ∈ Yi : θZi / ∈ Gi ( ...

Viruses that affect lagomorphs have decades of reported history spillover events. One these viruses is the causative agent so-called rabbit or ‘lagomorph’ haemorrhagic disease (e.g. Lagovirus europaeus/GI.1 and L. europaeus/GI.2). In particular, europaeus/GI.2 has shown a great capacity to recombine with existing lagoviruses. fact, it replaced former GI.1 genotype in wild, recently, an increase...

Three papers in the Journal this month examine the impact on service use of particular service developments and patient/illness characteristics. Williams et al (pp. 480–485) compared patterns of service use, including hospital admission rates, before and after the introduction of a triage admission system in one large innercity mental health organisation. Overall, little difference was found be...

The southern root-knot nematode (RKN, Meloidogyne incognita) is a major soil-inhabiting plant parasite that causes significant yield losses in cotton (Gossypium spp.). Progeny from crosses between cotton genotypes susceptible to RKN produced segregants in subsequent populations which were highly resistant to this parasite. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 138 lines developed from a...
