While it’s doing this for a request from one client, any other clients that are sending requests at the same time will need to wait, but because the entire process of reading, decoding, and enqueueing a request is very fast, it’s rare that processing for one client will have any not...
There is an often-used term, ludo-narrative dissonance, which is where the narrative in a game contradicts the act of playing the game. It is a silly phrase, often ridiculed but an often useful one. Here though, I want to propose a different, equally silly term. There are moments of l...
It is to be understood that the DCO 76 can comprise any suitable device. For example, a programmable counter (not shown) that inserts or removes cycles from the Local Oscillator 74 to a clock on a binary counter can be used. Alternatively, a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) device (not sho...
queueing. Discussion: Assault-related visits to the ED have a non-linear association with the number of people socialising in the night-time environment and are further influenced by the weather and notable events. Opportunities for further research that might inform policy and interventions aimed at...
Time is running fast, and the first two-year term of my editorship is already over. I am delighted to thank all the authors, the referees, and the members of the Advisory and Editorial Boards for their hard work for the journal, and for their valuable suggestions, comments, and general ...

Long-term average mean drift is also examined. Some queueing models are provided and results are demonstrated on various embedded Markov chains.Tweedie, R. LDelaware Univ.Richard L.

Both the backorder case and the lost sales case are solved by generalizing a queueing theorem due to Palm. The procedure is to calculate by item the steady state probabilities for the number of units in resupply (or repair). These probabilities completely describe the item's long term ...
Direct application of the second order approximation is complicated by the occurrence of the term EM = E inf N(t) t = or > 0. Considerable attention is paid to the derivation of EM for important special cases. Earlier results on the sum and difference process are stated in a more ...
This work is part of a long-term effort to develop a resource control system for order fulfillment systems, such as those found in distribution depots of the Defense Logistics Agency.Gue, K. R.Auburn Univ.
