A single-server queueing system with a finite buffer, several types of impatient customers, and non-preemptive priorities is analyzed. The initial priority of a customer can increase during its waiting time in the queue. The behavior of the system is described by a multi-dimensional Markov chain. The generator of this chain, having essential dependencies between the components, is derived and formulas for computation of the most important performance indicators of the system are presented. The dependence of some of these indicators on the capacity of the buffer space is illustrated. The profound effect of the phenomenon of correlation of successive inter-arrival times and variance of the service time is numerically demonstrated. Results can be used for the optimization of dispatching various types of customers in information transmission systems, emergency departments and first aid stations, perishable foods supply chains, etc.

Network slicing is considered a key technology in enabling the underlying 5G mobile network infrastructure to meet diverse service requirements. In this article, we demonstrate how transport network slicing accommodates the various network service requirements of Massive IoT (MIoT), Critical IoT (CIoT), and Mobile Broadband (MBB) applications. Given that most of the research conducted previously to measure 5G network slicing is done through simulations, we utilized SimTalk, an IoT application traffic emulator, to emulate large amounts of realistic traffic patterns in order to study the effects of transport network slicing on IoT and MBB applications. Furthermore, we developed several MIoT, CIoT, and MBB applications that operate sustainably on several campuses and directed both real and emulated traffic into a Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors (P4)-based 5G testbed. We then examined the performance in terms of throughput, packet loss, and latency. Our study indicates that applications with different traffic characteristics need different corresponding Committed Information Rate (CIR) ratios. The CIR ratio is the CIR setting for a P4 meter in physical switch hardware over the aggregated data rate of applications of the same type. A low CIR ratio adversely affects the application’s performance because P4 switches will dispatch application packets to the low-priority queue if the packet arrival rate exceeds the CIR setting for the same type of applications. In our testbed, both exemplar MBB applications required a CIR ratio of 140% to achieve, respectively, a near 100% throughput percentage with a 0.0035% loss rate and an approximate 100% throughput percentage with a 0.0017% loss rate. However, the exemplar CIoT and MIoT applications required a CIR ratio of 120% and 100%, respectively, to reach a 100% throughput percentage without any packet loss. With the proper CIR settings for the P4 meters, the proposed transport network slicing mechanism can enforce the committed rates and fulfill the latency and reliability requirements for 5G MIoT, CIoT, and MBB applications in both TCP and UDP.

AbstractAdvances in free flap reconstruction of complex head and neck defects have allowed for improved outcomes in the management of head and neck cancer. Technical refinements have decreased flap loss rate to less than 4%. However, the potential for flap failure exists at multiple levels, ranging from flap harvest and inset to pedicle lay and postoperative patient and positioning factors. While conventional methods of free flap monitoring (reliant on physical examination) remain the most frequently used, additional adjunctive methods have been developed. Herein we describe the various modalities of both invasive and noninvasive free flap monitoring available to date. Still, further prospective studies are needed to compare the various invasive and noninvasive technologies and to propel innovations to support the early recognition of vascular compromise with the goal of even greater rates of flap salvage.

Цель исследования - изучение способности фибрин-мономера предупреждать тяжелую интраоперационную кровопотерю, ассоциированную с введением нефракционированного гепарина, при дозированной травме печени. Методика. На кроликах «Шиншилла» индуцировали гипокоагуляцию нефракционированным гепарином (150 ед/кг). Профилактику интраоперационных кровотечений осуществляли внутривенным введением фибрин-мономера (0,25 мг/кг) за 1 ч до травмы или протамина сульфата (1,5 мг/кг) за 10 мин до травмы. После нанесения стандартной травмы печени оценивали объем (в % ОЦК) и темп (мг/с) кровопотери. Анализировали число тромбоцитов, активированное парциальное тромбопластиновое время, протромбиновое и тромбиновое время свертывания, уровень фибриногена и активность антитромбина III, параметры ротационной тромбоэластометрии крови. Результаты. Объем кровопотери в группах животных после в/в введения фибрин-мономера и протамина сульфата на фоне гепаринизации был, соответственно, в 5,1 и 4,0 раза меньше по сравнению с группой плацебо, получавшей тот же антикоагулянт. Вместе с тем, фибрин-мономер не влиял на параметры коагулограммы (отсутствие видимого гемостазиологического эффекта) и тромбоэластограммы, тогда как применение протамина сульфата в качестве антидота гепарина сопровождалось нормализацией данных тромбоэластометрии и коррекцией гипокоагуляционного сдвига по активированному парциальному тромбопластиновому времени, протромбиновому и тромбиновому времени. Заключение. Установлено, что фибрин-мономер (0,25 мг/кг) снижает посттравматическое кровотечение в условиях блокады свертывания крови гепарином без видимых признаков восстановления гемостатического равновесия. The research objective was to study the ability of fibrin monomer to prevent severe intraoperative blood loss associated with administration of unfractionated heparin in controlled liver injury. Methods. Hypocoagulation was induced in chinchilla rabbits with unfractionated heparin (150 U/kg). Intraoperative bleeding was prevented by administration of fibrin monomer (FM, 0.25 mg/kg, i.v.) one hour prior to the injury and of protamine sulfate (PS, 1.5 mg/kg, i.v.) 10 min prior to the injury. Following the liver injury, blood loss was assessed as percentage of circulating blood volume and the blood loss rate (mg/s). Platelet counts, aPTT, PT, TT, fibrinogen level, antithrombin III activity, and parameters of blood rotation thromboelastometry were analyzed. Results. The volume of blood loss was 5.1 times and 4.0 times less, respectively, after the FM and PS administration during heparinization compared to the placebo group treated with the same anticoagulant. However, FM affected neither coagulogram indexes (no visible hemostasiological effect) nor thromboelastogram while the use of PS as an antidote for heparin was associated with normalization of thromboelastometric data and correction of hypercoagulative changes in aPTT, PT, TT. Conclusion. FM at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg reduced severity of posttraumatic bleeding induced by heparin inhibition of coagulation with no visible signs of hemostatic balance recovery.
