This paper deals with the G/G/R machining system consisting of M operating machines as well as S cold standbys. The concepts of balking and reneging are incorporated which make our model more versatile to deal with real time systems. The broken-down machines are sent to repair facilities consisting of R permanent repairmen. The failure times and repair times are generally identical and independ...

Networked control systems (NCS) [5]—where sensors, controllers, and actuators belonging to different control loops are connected through a shared network—are highly susceptible to both internal and external sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), e.g., engine movements, TV towers, etc. [7]. System engineers thus use active replication (or static redundancy) for ensuring that safety-criti...

Despite our current knowledge of the immunology, pathology, and genetics of Anaplasma marginale, prevention in cattle is currently based on old standbys, including live attenuated vaccines, antibiotic treatment, and maintaining enzootic stability in cattle herds. In the present study, we evaluated the use of an immunostimulant complex (ISCOMATRIX) adjuvant, associated with a pool of recombinant...

Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent disease that affects millions of people worldwide and has paralleled the growing population of overweight and obese individuals. Early detection of prediabetes and diabetes, as well as lifestyle interventions including diet and exercise, are the overarching objectives in preventing and managing diabetes. For individuals who do not achieve glycemic control with l...

Abstract: The present investigation deals with the multi component machine repair problem by including the concepts of reneging and interdependent controlled rates. We consider a machining system consisting of M operating units, S1 and S2 warm spares of two kinds and a repair facility having R permanent repairmen and r additional removable repairmen. When all the spares are used and the operati...

Multi-component machining systems are being used in every sphere of engineering sector such as job shops, flow lines, communication system, computer system, etc. This paper presents fuzzy analysis of availability characteristics of machining system comprising of multiactive units and multi-standby units. The Markov machine repair model has been developed by incorporating the concepts of switchi...

Large IP backbone networks today are mostly deployed directly over sequences of point-to-point DWDM systems or chains of newer ROADM-based ultra long haul systems, interconnected by OEO regenerators. The next generation core optical network is moving toward an all-optical network architecture that is based on multi-degree ROADMs to reduce OEO regeneration cost as well as enabling automatic reco...

Consensus protocols are used to provide consistency guarantees over replicated data in a distributed system, and allow a set of replicas to work together as a coherent group. Raft is a consensus protocol that is designed to be easy to understand and implement. It is equivalent to Multi-Paxos in fault-tolerance and performance. It uses a leader based approach for coordinating replication to a ma...
