CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) in deploying robotic sprayers for pandemic‐associated disinfection and monitoring has garnered significant attention in recent research. The authors introduce a novel architectural framework designed to interconnect smart monitoring robotic devices within healthcare facilities using narrowband Internet of Things ...

Ship Scheduling Algorithm Based on Markov-Modulated Fluid Priority Queues
AlgorithmsAs a key node in port logistics systems, ship anchorage is often faced with congestion caused by ship flow fluctuations, multi-priority scheduling imbalances and the poor adaptability of scheduling models to complex environments.

Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.

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

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

Fluid approximations for a processor-sharing queue
, 1997 In this paper a fluid approximation, also known as a functional strong law of large numbers (FSLLN) for a GI/G/1 queue under a processor-sharing service discipline is established and its properties are analysed.

What England Is and What It Claims to Be: Orwell on National Identity
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article suggests that George Orwell's body of work offers a rather unique and insightful two‐part conception of national identity in the context of England, made up of a moral inheritance—the values of liberty, fairness and decency—and a lived sensibility—the fluid, experiential quality of collective life expressed in shared customs ...

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

An ODE for an overloaded X model involving a stochastic averaging principle
Stochastic Systems, 2011 We study an ordinary differential equation (ODE) arising as the many-server heavy-traffic fluid limit of a sequence of overloaded Markovian queueing models with two customer classes and two service pools.

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article looks at two critical moments in British immigration – the case of the ‘stateless’ Ugandan Asian husbands, whose wives successfully argued for their entry in Britain in 1973 and the ‘virginity test’ performed on Mrs K at Heathrow Airport in 1979.
