We present a study of residence time statistics for N renewal processes with a long tailed distribution of the waiting time. Such processes describe many nonequilibrium systems ranging from the intensity of N blinking quantum dots to the residence time of N Brownian particles. With numerical simulations and exact calculations, we show sharp transitions for a critical number of degrees of freedo...

Properties of two of the stochastic circulatory models theoretically introduced by Smith et al., 1997, Bull. Math. Biol. 59, 1-22 were investigated. The models assumed the gamma distribution of the cycle time under either the geometric or Poisson elimination scheme. The reason for selecting these models was the fact that the probability density functions of the residence time of these models ar...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to compare the pharmacokinetics of lidocaine and prilocaine in two groups of 10 patients undergoing intravenous regional anaesthesia. METHOD The study had a randomized design. The patients were allocated to one of the two groups of 10. Each group received either lidocaine (200 mg = 0.855 mM) or prilocaine (Citanest, 200 mg = 0.909 mM), injected intr...
