UNICOM Seminars and held in London in April 1995. There are eighteen research papers …

A queuing system is described in which service times are conditioned upon a random
parameter μ, such that the conditional service distribution is exponential and μ has a gamma …

compression (EPC) in prevention of venous thrombosis after total hip replacement. Design. —…

This paper examines in detail the class of generalized hyperexponential (GH) probability
distribution functions. The family is compared to and contrasted with similar popular classes of …

The standard M/G/1 queuing system is generalized so that the service time parameter
becomes a stochastic process, {M n , n = 1, 2, …}, indexed on the length of the queue at the …

MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and seven consccutive total hip arthroplasties
performed by one of the authors (CH) between Novcmber, 1971 and May, 1974 were reviewed…

Generalized hyperexponential (GH) distributions are linear combinations of exponential
CDFs with mixing parameters (positive and negative) that sum to unity. The denseness of the …
