Salinity is one of the major environmental constraints limiting yield of crop plants in many semi-arid and arid regions around the world. To understand responses in soybean seedling to salt stress at proteomic level, the extracted proteins from seedling leaves of salt-sensitive genotype Jackson and salt-tolerant genotype Lee 68 under 150 mM NaCl stress for 1, 12, 72 and 144 h, respectively, wer...

Pairwise stability (Jackson and Wolinsky, 1996) is the standard stability concept in network formation. It assumes myopic behavior of the agents in the sense that they do not forecast how others might react to their actions. Assuming that agents are farsighted, related stability concepts have been proposed. We design a simple network formation experiment to test these theories. Our results prov...

We consider open Jackson networks with losses with mixed finite and infinite queues and analyze the efficiency of sampling from their exact stationary distribution. We show that perfect sampling is possible, although the underlying Markov chain may have an infinite state space. The main idea is to use a Jackson network with infinite buffers (that has a product form stationary distribution) to b...

We consider the probability that the total population of a Jackson network exceeds a given large value. By using the relation to the stationary distribution, we derive upper and lower bounds on this probability. These bounds imply a stronger logarithmic limit when multiple nodes have the same maximal load.

This paper considers the problem of computing certain performance parameters of stochastic networks that have Markovian routing but are not otherwise Jackson networks. A scheme using this model for approximating address-based routing is described. The method relies on generalizing the traffic equation to special subsets of the flows in the network.

In this investigation, Jackson queueing network has been widely used to model and analyze the performance of complex parallel systems. M/G/1 queueing system is used to model a parallel processing system, which is expandable in vertical and horizontal manner. Determine a closed form solution for the system performance metrics, such as processor’s waiting time, system processing power, etc.

The Theory of Approximation. By Dunham Jackson. New York (American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications, Volume 11), published by this Society, 1930. v+178 pp. In 1885 Weierstrass announced his now famous theorem: Any continuous function j•(#)> defined over a finite interval (a, b), can be approximated in (a, b) uniformly and indefinitely by a sequence of polynomials Pn(x), whose degree...
