Queueing theory offers a large variety of techniques that can be used in performance modelling of computer systems and data communication networks. The diversity of assumptions causes that the numerical results, obtained for the same system but by means of different techniques, can often be numerically very different. The project is aimed at finding common denominators for numerical results obt...

Tandem queues with finite buffer capacity commonly exist in practical applications. By viewing a tandem queue as an integrated system, an innovative approach has been developed to analyze its performance through the insight from Friedman's reduction method. Fundamental properties of tandem queues with finite buffer capacity are examined. We show that in general system service rate of a dual tan...

We consider a set of fluid On-Off flows that share a common server of capacity c and a finite buffer B. The server capacity is divided using Generalized Processor Sharing scheduling discipline. Each flow has a minimum service rate guarantee that exceeds its long term average demand ρi. The buffer sharing is unrestricted as long as there is available space; if the buffer is full, the necessary a...

this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...

TCP performance can be significantly affected when the buffer capacity at the routers is small. This is possible either because many flows share the network or that the bandwidth-delay product is large (e.g. satellite links). The behavior of various versions of TCP with respect to buffer capacity issues has not been studied in much detail. In this paper, we investigate the behavior and performa...
