In this paper, we consider the steady-state queue length distribution of the GI/G/1/K queue. As a result, we obtain transform-free expressions for the steady-state queue length distributions at an arrival, at a departure and at an arbitrary time, all in product forms. The results are obtained by what we call the decomposed Little’s formula, which applies the Little’s formula W L λ = to the n wa...

comparison of practolol mg/day, bendrofluazide 5 mg/day, and combined therapy of practolol with bendrofluazide has been carried out in 24 patients with sustained hypertension (mean supine blood pressure I67/104 mmHg). The effect of treatment on the supine, erect, and post-exercise blood pressure was studied. After four weeks of therapy, each of the active treatments was significantly superior t...

A new polymorph of the title compound 2-(η-C5H5)-2,1,7-closo-CoC2B9H11, [Co(C5H5)(C2H11B9)], in the space group P21/n has been characterized, including the unambiguous location of both cage C atoms. The precision of this study is an order of magnitude greater than that of the first polymorph [C2/c; Lopez et al. (2010). Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. 75, 853-869].

Lecythophora (Coniochaeta) hoffmannii, a soil- and lignocellulose-inhabiting sordariomycete (Ascomycota) that can also live as a facultative tree pathogen causing soft rot, belongs to the family Coniochaetaceae. The strain CBS 245.38 sequenced here was assembled into 869 contigs, has a size of 30.8 Mb, and comprises 10,596 predicted protein-coding genes.

Throughout history, large tsunamis have frequently affected the Sanriku area of the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region, Japan, which faces the Japan Trench. Although a few studies have examined paleo-tsunami deposits along the Sanriku coast, additional studies of paleo-earthquakes and tsunamis are needed to improve our knowledge of the timing, recurrence interval, and size of historical and pre...
