In this paper a single server queuing production system is considered which is subject to gradual deterioration. The system is discussed under two different deteriorating conditions. A planning horizon is considered and server which is a D/M/1 queuing system is gradually deteriorates through time periods. A maintenance policy is taken into account whereby the server is restored to its initial ...

There is a rapidly increasing trend in media-media multitasking or MMM (using two or more media concurrently). In a recent conference, scholars from diverse disciplines expressed concerns that indulgence in MMM may compromise well-being and/or cognitive abilities. However, research on MMM's impacts is too sparse to inform the general public and policy makers whether MMM should be encouraged, ma...

Time series analysis and prediction is turning into an interdisciplinary subject where data and methods are being contributed from a broad variety of disciplines, including economics, physics, computer science, and statistics. Model management systems were originally designed for operations research applications. With thousands of methods and gigabytes of data now available on the Internet, how...

A data warehouse is a conceptual repository that collects information from one or more data sources and provides a schema that allows this repository to be queried by users of the warehouse. The dii-culties in designing a schema for a data warehouse whose member databases are multimedia databases are mainly caused by the highly diverse nature of multimedia data, a very wide range of multimedia ...

In this paper, we consider a queuing model extension for a manufacturing cell composed of a machining center and several parallel downstream predestinations. In the machining center, there is an ample supply of raw material for a number of different part-types. For each type, parts are first processed in the machining center, and then in one of parallel production stations (one for each type). ...

Recently, a gain-of-function MPL mutation, MPLW515L, was described in patients with JAK2V617F-negative myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM). To gain more information on mutational frequency, disease specificity, and clinical correlates, genomic DNA from 1182 patients with myeloproliferative and other myeloid disorders and 64 healthy controls was screened for MPL515 mutations, regardless ...

In this paper, the state diagrams and steady-state balance equations for two kinds of open queuing network models are presented. The first model comprises a network of single queues with single servers, while the second model comprises multiple servers for single queues. State diagrams are drawn for (2,3) queuing networks with (i) single servers and (ii) multiple servers. Steady-state balance e...

Queuing is common in urban public places. Automatically monitoring and predicting queuing time can not only help individuals to reduce their wait time and alleviate anxiety but also help managers to allocate resources more efficiently and enhance their ability to address emergencies. This paper proposes a novel method to estimate and predict queuing time in indoor environments based on WiFi pos...

In this paper, we proposed a new multistage virtual shared memory model for cluster based parallel systems. This model can be expanded in hierarchical manner and covered many of the previous clusters of parallel system designs. Queuing theory and Jackson queuing networks are applied for constructing an analytical model. This model gives a closed-form solution for the system performance metrics,...

Introduction: Current advances in chip fabrication allow high on-chip memory density. However, the pin count has mainly remained the same, thus limiting the number of ports a switch chip can support. A three-stage Clos-network switch [1] uses small switch modules, called input module (IM), central module (CM), and output module (OM), to implement a large switch (i.e. with a large number of port...
