the sac, which, on being opened, was found to contain about a foot of very much congested small intestines with a large piece of omentum. The stricture being divided, the hernia could not bp returned with gentle manipulation owing to the swollen condition of the contents of the Sac; the omentum was therefore ligatured with catgut in two pieces close to the neck, cut off, and the stump returned ...

In this paper we consider the potential for congestion collapse in a range of network scenarios. In particular, we are interested in the effect of the topology, the scheduling discipline (FIFO or FQ scheduling), the level of statistical multiplexing, the traffic characteristics, and other factors. We consider topologies more complex than a single congested link, or a single string of congested ...

In this paper we show how the Färe, Grosskopf and Lovell (1985) input congestion nonparametric test can be performed to reach a statistical conclusion. To achieve this goal, we use Simar and Wilson (1998, 2000) radial distance functions bootstrap technique. An empirical illustration on airports congestion is provided. The results show that the technology is globally congested and that nine of t...

This paper investigates the welfare effect of travelling through congested areas and adverse weather through changes in the speed of individuals’ car trips based on the entire commuting trip. Weather measurements are local and time specific (hourly basis). As most commuters travel twice a day between home and work, we are able to employ panel data techniques, which deals with issues related to ...

An unsupervised learning algorithm with density information considered is proposed for congested scene classification. Though many works have been proposed to address general scene classification during the past years, congested scene classification is not adequately studied yet. In this paper, an efficient unsupervised feature learning approach with density information encoded is proposed to s...
