We study a single class of traffic acting on a symmetric set of processor-sharing queues with finite buffers, and we consider the case where the load scales with the number of servers. We address the problem of giving ...

Consider a multiclass stochastic network with state-dependent service rates and arrival rates describing bandwidth-sharing mechanisms as well as admission control and/or load balancing schemes. Given Poisson arrival and ...

To maintain water balance, nectar-feeding vertebrates oscillate between meeting the challenges of avoiding overhydration and preventing dehydration. To understand how green-backed firecrowns (Sephanoides sephanoides) ...

Finite element analyses simulating masticatory system loading are increasingly undertaken in primates, hominin fossils and modern humans. Simplifications of models and loadcases are often required given the limits of data ...

In the context of structural design, risk optimization allows one to find a proper point of balance between the concurrent goals of economy and safety. Risk optimization involves the minimization of total expected costs, ...

En este trabajo se trata el problema de la seguridad de operación de sistemas de suministro de energía eléctrica (SSEE) a través de la regulación primaria de frecuencia (RPF). Los requerimientos de seguridad a los cuales ...
