Analysis of M/m/c Retrial Queue with Thresholds, Ph Distribution of Retrial Times and Unreliable Servers
No full textThis paper treats a retrial queue with phase type retrial times and a threshold type-policy, where each server is subject to breakdowns and repairs. Upon a server failure, the customer whose service gets interrupted will be handed over to another available server, if any; otherwise, the customer may opt to join the retrial orbit or depart from the system according to a Bernoulli trial. We analyze such a multi-server retrial queue using the recently introduced threshold-based retrial times for orbiting customers. Applying the matrix-analytic method, we carry out the steady-state analysis and report a few illustrative numerical examples
Comparison of Returning and Direct Pathway Graduate Engineering Students
No full textSome graduate engineering students, returners, have spent many years in industry before returning to school. Others, direct pathway students, complete a master’s degree along with the undergraduate degree or go back to school fairly quickly after their undergraduate degree has been obtained. The focus of this study was to investigate the differences and similarities in direct pathway and returners. Differences include the rationale for obtaining a degree, the assumption that teamwork is essential to success, and specific self-efficacy statements. Those who have spent time in industry change disciplines more often. Similarities include no difference in graduate grade point averages (GPAs), while undergraduate GPAs are different for the two groups, and there is no difference in the calculus concept inventory
2021 Guidelines
Get PDFIn response to feedback from students, faculty and staff and with a now six-month history of two terms already safely back on campus, the University has revised the former Playbook for our Safe Return to now be a topic-driven, quickly searchable Safe Campus 2021 Guidelines reference.
The new Safe Campus 2021 Guidelines include the following sections:
Testing & Health Services
Safety Measures
Academics & Co-op
Student Life
Facilities
Visiting Campus
Within these sections, important and updated information about mental and physical health services, including free COVID-19 testing, as well as operational and academic protocol are outlined
