The present paper deals with the problem of calculating queue length distributions in a priority queueing model with a preemptive-resume policy under the assumption of general arrival and service distributions. The multi-queue priority system is decomposed into single-queue vacation systems, for which the visit and inter-visit distributions are approximated by the idle and busy period of a ΣGI/...

Free-flying honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) reactions were observed when presented with varying schedules of post-reinforcement delays of 0 s, 300 s, or 600 s. We measured inter-visit-interval, response length, inter-response-time, and response rate. Honey bees exposed to these post-reinforcement delay intervals exhibit one of several patterns compared to groups not encountering delays, and had ...
