Stochastic Petri nets generalize the notion of queueing systems and are a useful model in performance evaluation of parallel and distributed systems. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of a stochastic process related to these nets. A.M.S. Classification : 60 G 40, 68 M 20, 60 K 25 Research partially supported by project PA86-0028 of the Spanish Comisión Interministe...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a long premalignant phase and relatively slow progression from organ defined invasive disease to local and distant metastatic disease and as such there is ample opportunity to identify patients at a curable stage (1). Current tests are either non-specific as with faecal occult blood testing (2) or invasive. Analysis of DNA markers in stool represents an attractive al...

Fires in boreal and temperate forests play a significant role in the global carbon cycle. While forest fires in North America (NA) have been surveyed extensively by U.S. and Canadian forest services, most fire records are limited to seasonal statistics without information on temporal evolution and spatial expansion. Such dynamic information is crucial for modeling fire emissions. Using the dail...
