On the level crossing of multi‐dimensional delayed renewal processes
The paper studies the behavior of an (l + 3)th‐dimensional, delayed renewal process with dependent components, the first three (called active) of which are to cross one of their respective thresholds. More specifically, the crossing takes place when at least one of the active components reaches or exceeds its assigned level. The values of the other two

In this paper we investigate steady state reliability parameters of an F : r‐out‐of‐N redundant repairable system with m(1 ≤ m ≤ r − 1) repair channels in light traffic conditions. Such a system can also be treated as a closed queueing network of a simple kind. It includes two nodes, with infinite number of channels and m channels, respectively.

On asymptotically efficient simulation of large deviation probabilities. [PDF]
: Consider a family of probabilities for which the decay is governed by a large deviation principle. To find an estimate for a fixed member of this family, one is often forced to use simulation techniques. Direct Monte Carlo simulation, however, is often

A fixed‐size batch service queue with vacations
The paper deals with batch service queues with vacations in which customers arrive according to a Poisson process. Decomposition method is used to derive the queue length distributions both for single and multiple vacation cases. The authors look at other decomposition techniques and discuss some related open problems.

ABSTRACT Background Chronic cases of canine otitis externa (OE) often develop infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). Given the organism's high level of resistance, veterinary surgeons often turn to compounded solutions. Limited data describing the stability and potency of compounded ceftazidime (CAZ) solutions are available, which may affect ...

The failure rate in reliability: approximations and bounds
We consider models typical to the area of reliability, and a failure rate function for processes describing the dynamics of these models. Various approximations of the failure rate function are proposed and their accuracies are investigated. The basic case studied in the paper is a regenerative model.

A Note on the Portfolio Selection Problem
In this note we provide new results of interest in the portfolio choice problem when the risky opportunities are correlated: for a general vector (X 1 , X 2 ,..., X n ) of risky opportunities we give new conditions for stochastic comparison among ...

Background – Allergen immunotherapy is used as aetiological treatment for canine atopic dermatitis (cAD). Objective – To assess the anti‐inflammatory agent‐sparing effect over 1 year of immunotherapy using pullulan‐conjugated recombinant Der f 2 (rDf2‐P). Conclusions and Clinical Relevance – Der f 2‐P immunotherapy can lead to a rapid reduction in anti‐

On applications of excess level processes to (N,D)‐policy bulk queueing systems
The paper deals with queueing systems in which N‐ and D‐policies are combined into one. This means that an idle or vacationing server will resume his service if the queueing or workload process crosses some specified fixed level N or D, respectively.
