citizens without a voice on how they are ruled. In the novel “The Queue”, the Gate serves as the authoritarian state, where an invisible government aims to rigidly control its citizens. This surveillance and control has different psychological impacts on the every day existence of people trying to navigate this oppressive and deceptive regime, leading to a slow disintegration of mental and physical health for some characters. In “The Queue”, citizens must line up at the Gate in order to receive bureaucratic
In the study found four factors that are related to the patient demand, service rate, and the waiting time of the patients. The first factor is that even the capacity was greater than demand still was formed queues when there is a variation. The variation could be the time of arrival because it cannot be predicted, sometimes the demand is lower than capacity and servers have free time, but that free capacity cannot be stored or recovered when capacity is lower

will be no queue. If the number of services is finite, then the customers are served according to the specific order. Further the customer may be served in batches of fixed size or of variable size rather than individually by the same server, such as computer with parallel processing of people boarding in a bus. The service system in this case is termed as bulk service. 1.4 QUEUE DISCIPLINE Queue Discipline refers to the rule by which customers are selected for service when a queue is formed.
Bus Queue by Anges Owens In this story Bus Queue by Anges Owens I am going to discuss how the writer conveys moods through his use of language. The moods created are made by his choice of words, the dialect and dialogue, by the people at the bus stop. The moods can also be detected by the sentence structure. He expresses these moods by giving detailed sentences of the boy out of breath and the harsh cold weather. The scene in which the story is set is in an area that is poor and rough, the broken
mathematical analysis of several related processes, including arriving at the queue, waiting in the queue and being served at the front of the queue. Using this theory we measure the average waiting time in the queue or the system, the expected number waiting or receiving service and the probability of encountering the system. Queueing system is a model which contains the following structure as the customers arrive and join a queue to wait for the service provided by n servers. After receiving the service
Over time, the word “queue” has been developed to hold several meanings, some of which are more commonly used than others. Although it may have more than one meaning, it is commonly believed the word only contains one use. However, the word is capable of describing several objects in the English language. The word “queue” was first used in 1592, where it was used to refer to the tail of a beast. While this definition is seen as the one most commonly known, according to the Oxford English Dictionary
ends up a disappointment, or worse, unavailable. But what keeps people sane when they are forced to queue (sometimes for hours on end) is the knowledge that everyone else must wait too. Unless, of course, there was a way to circumvent that process. It’s almost universally agreed upon that cutting in line is unethical, but what about paying someone to stand in for you, or even paying to skip the queue? The principle that guides queueing
queueing as “a line of waiting persons, jobs, things, or the like.” What exactly does that mean and how can it be avoided? Richard C. Larson describes the psychology as well as the social justice behind queueing in his research entitled, Perspectives on Queues: Social Justice an The Psychology of Queueing. Larson and his students created a theory called “slips and skips.” A slip is defined as what happens to the person being victimized by the queueing, and being slipped by from the individual in line behind
creating the delay was a regular occurrence. It appeared, therefore, that the reasons for a long queue were major determinants of customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction, not just the delay’s duration. The Psychology of Combining Queues Combining queues have proven not to be a good technique for managing queues in grocery stores and supermarkets. Studies have shown that even though combining queues have been successful in some service organizations, these techniques have proven to have negative
“ If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now. Your queue always goes the slowest. Whatever queue you join, no matter how short it looks, it will always take the longest for you to get served. ” Murphy’s Laws on Queueing Queues are sequences in which people are awaiting their turn to be served. Queueing is very common in all fields of life. It essentially happens when there are entities who arrive for a service. For example, railway stations
The selection of the next process to give the cpu to is done in kernel/proc.c, and uses 16 ready queues to control priority. The first process in the first non-empty queue is chosen to run next; therefore if there is always a runnable process in queue 0, no other queue will have processes run from it. The scheduling of processes into different queues is done by the sched server (servers/sched/*). The current sched algorithm uses a simple algorithm where each process has a
any time when a computer is not being used to some predefined utilization, NetBatch can run jobs there. Users who are in need of computing power submit “jobs” on such machines subject to a few restrictions. NetBatch queues the jobs and runs them when they are at the front of the queue and when an appropriate machine is available. This allows us to accommodate peak loads by distributing the demand across a large number of machines at all times. Typically, different projects are on different computing
The Impact of Technology on Market Morals Perhaps the most persistent and lasting effect of capitalism is the implementation of market thinking within society. As Sandel states in his book What Money Can’t Buy, “the reach of markets, and market-oriented thinking, into aspects of life traditionally governed by non market norms is one of the most significant developments of our time” (7). Sandel’s main argument is the emptiness of morality within modern society, claiming people have become less ethical
In today’s modern markets, what is not for sale? As Michael J. Sandel points out in What Money Can’t Buy, almost everything is a commodity for sale, from prison cell upgrades, to the right to emit carbon into the atmosphere and even the right to shoot an endangered animal. The unique markets for these commodities came as a result of faith in markets and subsequent deregulation as the primary means of achieving public good. The current financial crisis, which began in 2008, has cast doubt on that
Ethnocentrism in Avatar by James Cameron One of the major themes of the film Avatar is colonialism. Colonialism is the establishment of economic and political control over an area (Lundberg, 2015). In the film, Avatar, colonialism could be seen by the humans trying to take over Pandora for its resources, also known as “unobtainium”. Jake Sully, the main lead acts as a handicap ex-marine, task to infiltrate the place in his given avatar suit, to assist the military in blending into Pandora. This

This system is the system that making the ID card of the students and staff through online. It was the advance system that being provide by the administration of the university. This system happen when new students and staff enter the university for the first time or because of some cases such as the card has being lost or broken. To use this system, they required to enter their id card
Executive Summary Paradise parks were the entertainment parks started by Mr. Francis by an idea of relaxation and shared humanity. The park was performing well right from the start but the problem begins later on and for the last two years it made loses. CFO of the park, Nathan Cortland came up with an idea to resolve the problem. Jill Hoover, CEO of the park along with other members were not sure about the proposed idea as it was against the company's values and culture. So the topic of discussion
every stride. With every eager fan he passes, he gazes at them, with a hint of scrutiny and suspicion. ‘Ticket’ - the only word the bouncer says, as he examines and verifies the authenticity of the fans’ pass to enter. One by one the long snaking queue shorten as the groupies slowly gain entry. A panicking teenager, growing redder every second, caught the eye of the bouncer. The teenager, trembling. Starting to hyperventilate, he rushes to find his lost ticket. Even in the cold, sweat runs...
