A Central Limit Theorem Based Approach For Analyzing Queue Behavior In High-Speed Networks, Jinwoo Choe, Ness B. Shroff Feb 1998

A Central Limit Theorem Based Approach For Analyzing Queue Behavior In High-Speed Networks, Jinwoo Choe, Ness B. Shroff

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Statistical multiplexing is very important in high-speed networks, since it allows network applications to efficiently share network resources. However, statistical multiplexing can also lead to congestion which must be properly controlled in order to provide users with a satisfactory level of quality of service. In this report we study P({Q > x)), the tail of the steady state queue length distribution at a highspeed multiplexer. The tail distribution P({Q > x)) is a fundamental measure of network congestion and thus i.mportant for the efficient design and control of these networks. In partic:ular, we focus on the case when the aggregate traffic to …

Expectations Formation And Inflation Persistence, J. A. Carlson, Neven Tomov Valev Jan 1998

Expectations Formation And Inflation Persistence, J. A. Carlson, Neven Tomov Valev

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This paper studies the dynamics of inflation if monetary policy is transparent only to part of the population. We find that average long-run inflation decreases in the proportion of agents with naive expectations and, because of tradeoffs between speed of adjustment and long-run inflation, central banks prefer a higher proportion of agents who form informed expectations in high inflation periods but not so in lower inflation periods. We use survey data on expectations of inflation from Bulgaria collected at the time a currency board was introduced in that country to test for influences on the heterogeneity of expectations across agents.

International Integration And Growth: A Survey And Empirical Investigation, Jon D. Haveman, V. Lei, J. S. Netz

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

After surveying the theoretical and empirical work, we attempt a comprehensive assessment of different forms of international integration on growth. In particular, we consider the impact of trade, of inward foreign direct investment, of preferential treatment of less developed countries, and of membership in trade blocs.

Strength And Durability Of Concrete: Effects Of Cement Paste-Aggregate Interfaces, Part I: Theoretical Study On Influence Of Interfacial Transition Zone On Properties Of Concrete Materials, Yiguo Zhang, Wai-Fah Chen Jan 1998

Strength And Durability Of Concrete: Effects Of Cement Paste-Aggregate Interfaces, Part I: Theoretical Study On Influence Of Interfacial Transition Zone On Properties Of Concrete Materials, Yiguo Zhang, Wai-Fah Chen

JTRP Technical Reports

This research was based on a two-part basic research investigation studying the effects of cement paste-aggregate interfaces (or interfacial transition zones-HZ) on strength and durability of concrete. Part I dealt with the theoretical study and Part II dealt with the experimental. Part I, the theoretical part, illustrates the effect of ITZ on the concrete properties by assuming its elastic moduli to be varied continuously in the region. A four-phase composite model is employed and three functions are chosen to model the moduli variation in the ITZ. A theoretical solution for an n-layered spherical inclusion model is used to estimate the …

A Methodology For The Analysis Of Its Impacts On Mobility, Air Quality, And Land Use, Kumares C. Sinha, Srinivas Peeta, Muhammed Amer Sultan, Kamalakar Poonuru, Nadine-Jenelle K. Richards

JTRP Technical Reports

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is currently implementing (or has implemented) several components of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This includes a mini Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) implemented on a three-mile stretch of the Borman Expressway to evaluate advanced non-intrusive sensor systems and the associated communication infrastructure for the installation of a full-scale ATMS on the 16-mile stretch of the Borman Expressway. Potential specific ITS technologies that are either being implemented or are being considered include pre-trip information, en-route information, variable message signs, and Hoosier Helpers. It is expected that the implementation of various ITS technologies on the Borman …
