The health service center is considering modification of the current doctor schedule to decrease the average time patients spend in the facility. A new schedule, which on average has an extra doctor added for each time slot, has been suggested by the preliminary queueing analysis. It is anticipated that the schedule will improve the system performance but has yet to be verified by a discrete ev...

In manufacturing systems, the term bottleneck refers to a component that limits the entire throughput of a system. A number of approaches have been attempted to find out the bottleneck. However, existing solutions have their own limitations, leaving the bottleneck identification still no trivial task. To address this issue, we study Job Shop Scheduling Problems (JSSP) with realistic extension t...

 In auction market calves at high risk of developing bovine respiratory disease (BRD), does delayed (14–30 days) vaccination with a modified live vaccine (MLV) for viral pathogens versus administration MLV on-arrival (within 24 hours arrival) to the feedlot, result in decreased percentage BRD morbidity diagnosed based on visual signs and rectal temperature >40 degrees Cels...

This paper analyzes the properties of packet interarrival time (PIT) distribution fimctions of network segments including bottlenecks. In order to show the correlation between bottleneck behavior and packet interarrival time distribution, the alteration of probability distribution f~~nc t ion (PDF) is observed through simulations including tighter and tighter bottleneck connections. The process...

Memory bandwidth has become the real-time bottleneck of current deep learning accelerators (DLA), particularly for high definition (HD) object detection. Under resource constraints, this paper proposes a low memory traffic DLA chip with joint hardware and software optimization. To maximize utilization under bandwidth, we morph fuse detection model into group fusion-ready to reduce intermediate ...

In this paper we evaluate four different metrics for non intrusive bottleneck detection based on TCP counters. Three using a reference and one being reference free. This work is based on the full TCP statistics recorded on five days over the last one and a half year within the live core network of a mobile network operator in Austria. We used two of the datasets, which had a known bottleneck in...

• EXCEDE (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension controlled bovine respiratory disease (BRD) for up to nine days after administration in a challenge model. • EXCEDE was superior to Micotil (tilmicosin) 300 Injection for lung lesion scores, respiratory scores, and rectal temperature. • Concentrations of ceftiofur and related metabolites were above the efficacy threshold for BRD path...

The economic consequences of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in weaned calves and stocker cattle are considerable in terms of loss from death, decreased growth performance, increased medication costs, and labor. It is a complex disease involving both viruses and bacteria. The inflammation that accompanies BRD can result in permanent lung damage. The goals of therapeutic treatment for BRD are t...

Data from 14 U.S. feedlots January 1, 2017, through De­cember 31, 2020, were evaluated for disease treatment on the probability of being terminally diagnosed with heart (HD). The study objective was two-fold: 1) determine as­sociation between number bovine respiratory (BRD) treatments (0,1,2,3+) and HD, 2) common feedlot (AIP, BRD, Complex Disease, GI+Bloat, Other), cohort demographics HD. anal...
