A Diffusion Approximation for Bulk Queues
In this paper the steady-state queue size behavior of single-server queues with bulk-arrival and batch-service, referred to as bulk queues, is approximated by a diffusion process using the instantaneous return approach.

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.

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.

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 ...

THE QUEUING THEORETIC APPROACH TO GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT
In this paper I propose and develop a new framework for modeling groundwater management issues. Specifically, I apply the methods of queuing theoryfor the first time, to the best of my knowledgeto model a groundwater management problem from a long-run ...
