Cost Analysis of M/M/R Queue with Multiple Working Vacations
, 2014 此篇論文分析研究了M/M/R排隊含多個服務者會調整工作效率之成本分析情形。其中顧客到達為一卜瓦松過程，服務者的休假時間長度與服務時間的分配假設為指數分配。我們假設當系統中沒有等待服務的顧客時，服務者會調降工作效率。矩陣幾何法在此篇論文的用處主要是去簡化繁雜的穩態方程式以及推導出穩態機率解與系統效能測度。我們把導出的結果與之前學者所完成的M/M/1/WV排隊系統做比較確認，可以發現我們的結果是正確的。矩陣幾何法在實際應用上是十分有效率的。同時我們做了數值模擬與敏感度分析 ...

Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities
Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 301-328, March 2025.Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.

Charlotte Pommer: Resistance fighter and female pioneer of German anatomy
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the biography and unique case of Charlotte Pommer (1914–2004), the only anatomist documented to have left the field during the Nazi period after encountering the regime's victims on the dissection table. While she is known for her resistance activities, newly presented documentation reveals her role as the provisional ...
