Electron waiting times in hybrid junctions with topological superconductors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 We investigate the waiting time distributions (WTDs) of superconducting hybrid junctions, considering both conventional and topologically nontrivial superconductors hosting Majorana bound states at their edges.

The NHS waiting list in England must halve to reach waiting time targets
Future Healthcare JournalIt is a constitutional requirement in England’s NHS that 92% of patients awaiting consultant-led elective treatment must be waiting no longer than 18 weeks. This target was last met in November 2015.

Are waiting times for hospital admissions affected by patients' choices and mobility?
BMC Health Services Research, 2011 Background Waiting times for elective care have been considered a serious problem in many health care systems. A topic of particular concern has been how administrative boundaries act as barriers to efficient patient flows.

Queues and risk processes with dependencies [PDF]
, 2013 We study the generalization of the G/G/1 queue obtained by relaxing the assumption of independence between inter-arrival times and service requirements. The analysis is carried out for the class of multivariate matrix exponential distributions introduced

Feedback control of waiting times [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2016 Feedback loops are known as a versatile tool for controlling transport in small systems, which usually have large intrinsic fluctuations. Here we investigate the control of a temporal correlation function, the waiting time distribution, under active and passive feedback conditions.

Pricing and waiting time decisions in a health care market with private and public provision
Journal of Applied Economics, 2019 This paper describes a duopoly market for healthcare where one of the two providers is publicly owned and charges a price of zero, while the other sets a price so as to maximize its profit. Both providers are subject to congestion in the form of an M/M/1

The Origin of the Solar Flare Waiting-Time Distribution
, 2000 It was recently pointed out that the distribution of times between solar flares (the flare waiting-time distribution) follows a power law, for long waiting times.

Analysis of distracted pedestrians' waiting time: Head-Mounted Immersive Virtual Reality application [PDF]
, 2019 This paper analyzes the distracted pedestrians' waiting time before crossing the road in three conditions: 1) not distracted, 2) distracted with a smartphone and 3) distracted with a smartphone in the presence of virtual flashing LED lights on the ...

Dynamic hospital competition under rationing by waiting times.
Journal of Health Economics, 2019 We develop a dynamic model of hospital competition where (i) waiting times increase if demand exceeds supply; (ii) patients choose a hospital based in part on waiting times; and (iii) hospitals incur waiting time penalties. We show that, whereas policies

Electron Waiting Times of a Cooper Pair Splitter. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 Electron waiting times are an important concept in the analysis of quantum transport in nanoscale conductors. Here we show that the statistics of electron waiting times can be used to characterize Cooper pair splitters that create spatially separated ...
