A Multi-Server Queuing Model With Balking and Correlated Reneging With Application in Health Care Management

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Queues or waiting lines are an integral part of health care facilities such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, medical laboratories, and many other health facilities. Health care management must have waiting lines control strategies for smooth functioning.

Analysis of Equilibrium Strategies in Markovian Queues With Negative Customers and Working Breakdowns

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
We consider the customers' strategic behavior in Markovian queues with negative customers and working breakdowns. when a negative customer arrives, the customer being served is forced to leave the system.

Analysis of Power Saving Class II Traffic in IEEE 802.16E with Multiple Sleep State and Balking

open access: yesFoundations of Computing and Decision Sciences, 2015
The battery life of Mobile Stations in IEEE 802.16e can be extended substantially by applying the sleep mode mechanism. This paper studies an effcient method to analyze the performance of the power saving class type II for delay sensitive traffc in ...

Cost Analysis of a Finite Capacity Queue with Server Failures, Balking, and Threshold-Driven Recovery Policy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences
The study is on the cost dynamics which is concerned with finite queues in particular to susceptibility to server outages, threshold-driven recovery and Catastrophic events, but main focus is on balking behaviour of the customers.

Analysis of a Pre-Emptive Two-Priority Queuing System with Impatient Customers and Heterogeneous Servers

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
This paper presents a queuing system model that incorporates multiple priorities, multiple abandonments, and heterogeneous servers. Waiting for service easily leads to impatient behaviors.

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.

Modeling and Estimation of Traffic Intensity in M/M/1 Queueing System with Balking: Classical and Bayesian Approaches

open access: yesAppliedMath
This article focuses on both classical and Bayesian inference of traffic intensity in a single-server Markovian queueing model considering balking. To reflect real-world situations, the article introduces the concept of balking, where customers opt not ...

Abattoir antemortem inspection protocol: Observation of unloading improves detection of transport welfare compromises in livestock

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

Recommendations to Reform the National Electricity Market (NEM)

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) was established in the late 1990s. The market is an energy only gross pool with zonal (state‐based) pricing. Over the past 15 years, the system has undergone a profound transformation as large coal‐fired power stations have retired and substantial volumes of large‐scale and embedded behind the ...
