| In this paper, M/G/C/C state dependent queueing models are proposed for modeling and analyzing vehicular traac ows. Congestion aspects of traac ow are represented by introducing state dependent service rates as a function of number of vehicles on each road link. Analytical models for unidirectional and multi-source ows are presented. Finally, queueing models to analytically determine the opti...

This paper addresses the problem of rising Black/White disparities in imprisonment and seeks to determine factors predicting which states will have the highest Black imprisonment rates for various offenses. Annual state imprisonment rates for 1983-1999 are calculated from the Correctional Populations of the United States (CPUS) and National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) data. Dependent v...

The effective fractal dimensions at the polynomial-space level and above can all be equivalently defined as the C-entropy rate where C is the class of languages corresponding to the level of effectivization. For example, pspace-dimension is equivalent to the PSPACE-entropy rate. At lower levels of complexity the equivalence proofs break down. In the polynomialtime case, the P-entropy rate is a ...
