In this paper we consider the system of M/M/N queue with service interrup-tions , therates of server breakdown are different between busy time and idle time, and thereis one repairman ite system. We give out the group of equations for the steady state distribution of the number of effective servers. We obtain the steady-state probabilities of the states and the steady-state availability of the system. This document

This paper considers the M/M/Nrepairable queuing system. The customers' arrival is a Poisson process. The servers are subject to breakdown according to Poisson processes with different rates in idle time and busy time, respectively. The breakdown servers are repaired by repairmen, and the repair time is an exponential distribution. Using probability generating function and transform method, we obtain the steady-state probabilities of the system states, the steady-state availability of the servers, and the mean queueing length of the model.

Zero-trans kinetics of Na+-sugar cotransport were investigated. Sugar influx was measured at various sodium and sugar concentrations in K+-loaded cells treated with rotenone and valinomycin. Sugar influx follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics as a function of sugar concentration but not as a function of Na+ concentration. Nine models with 1:1 or 2:1 sodium:sugar stoichiometry were considered. The flux equations for these models were solved assuming steady-state distribution of carrier forms and that translocation across the membrane is rate limiting. Classical enzyme kinetic methods and a least-squares fit of flux equations to the experimental data were used to assess the fit of the different models. Four models can be discarded on this basis. Of the remaining models, we discard two on the basis of the trans sodium dependence and the coupling stoichiometry [G. A. Kimmich and J. Randles, Am. J. Physiol. 247 (Cell Physiol. 16): C74-C82, 1984]. The remaining models are terter ordered mechanisms with sodium debinding first at the trans side. If transfer across the membrane is rate limiting, the binding order can be determined to be sodium:sugar:sodium.

This paper analyzed the multi-machine repairable system with one unreliable server and one repairman. The machines may break at any time. One server oversees servicing the machine breakdown. The server may fail at any time with different failure rates in idle time and busy time. One repairman is responsible for repairing the server failure; the repair rate is variable to adapt to whether the machines are all functioning normally or not. All the time distributions are exponential. Using the quasi-birth-death(QBD) process theory, the steady-state availability of the machines, the steady-state availability of the server, and other steady-state indices of the system are given. The transient-state indices of the system, including the reliability of the machines and the reliability of the server, are obtained by solving the transient-state probabilistic differential equations. The Laplace–Stieltjes transform method is used to ascertain the mean time to the first breakdown of the system and the mean time to the first failure of the server. The case analysis and numerical illustration are presented to visualize the effects of the system parameters on various performance indices.

We consider open networks of queues with Processor-Sharing discipline and signals. The signals deletes all the customers present in the queues and vanish instantaneously. The customers may be usual customers or inert customers. Inert customers do not receive service but the servers still try to share the service capacity between all the customers (inert or usual). Thus a part of the service capacity is wasted. We prove that such a model has a product-form steady-state distribution when the signal arrival rates are positive.
