ABSTRACT We analyze a single server queue with modified Bernoulli server vacations based on exhaustive service. Unlike other vacation policies, we assume that only at the completion of service of the last customer in the system, the server has the option to take a vacation or to remain idle in the system waiting for the next customer to arrive. The service times of the customers have been assum...

Introduction: Ethanol can induce a wide spectrum of neurophysiological effects via interaction with multiple neurotransmitter systems and disruption of the balances between inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters. Prefrontal cortex is involved in cognitive process including working memory and is sensitive to ethanol. Present study investigates the effects of intraperitoneal (i.p.) admini...

The contexts for action may be only transiently visible, accessible, and relevant. The corticobasal ganglia (BG) circuit addresses these demands by allowing the right motor plans to drive action at the right times, via a BG-mediated gate on motor representations. A long-standing hypothesis posits these same circuits are replicated in more rostral brain regions to support gating of cognitive rep...

We study a many-server queueing model with server vacations, where the population size dynamics of servers and customers are coupled: may leave for vacation only when no await, capacity available to is directly affected by number on vacation. focus scaling regimes in which queue fluctuate at matching time scales so that their limiting coupled. Specifically, we argue interesting coupled occur (a...

A queueing system with batch Poisson arrivals and single vacations with the exhaustive service discipline is investigated. As the main result the representation for the Laplace transform of the transient queue-size distribution in the system which is empty before the opening is obtained. The approach consists of few stages. Firstly, some results for a “usual” system without vacations correspond...
