Mathematical analysis of a Markovian multi-server feedback queue with variant of multiple vacations, balking, and reneging

Discrete and Continuous Models and Applied Computational Science, 2022
In this paper, we analyze a multi-server queue with customers' impatience and Bernoulli feedback under variant of multiple vacations. On arrival, a customer decides whether to join or balk the system, based on the observation of the system size as well ...

TDP‐43 Aggregation: The Healthy‐Toxic Balance of the Prion‐Like Domain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TDP‐43 function relies on a delicate balance between reversible phase‐separated states and irreversible aggregation. Under physiological conditions, TDP‐43 forms dynamic droplets and oligomers that support normal cellular functions. In pathological contexts, this balance shifts toward aberrant aggregation, leading to toxic species.

Nearly periodic behavior in the overloaded G/D/s+GI queue

Stochastic Systems, 2011
Under general conditions, the number of customers in a GI/D/s+GI many-server queue at time t converges to a unique stationary distribution as t → ∞. However, simulations show that the sample paths routinely exhibit nearly periodic behavior over long time

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Queuing Time Decision Model with the Consideration on Call Center Customer Abandonment Behavior

Journal of Networks, 2014
To improve customer satisfaction through prompting waiting time is a key way for a call center. The practice shows that the length of prompted waiting time has an important effect on customer satisfaction and the utility of the call center. Based on queuing theory we develop a maximum system utility optimization model with consideration of customer ...
