Abstract

Results of personal dosimetry from occupationally exposed workers were analyzed, as well as the demand for treatments on a radiotherapy clinic. This data was used to determine the optimal time interval to assign vacations to the workers, to optimize patient attention without affecting permissible personal dosimetry of those who work on said vacations. Circular data analysis was used for both samples, to determine the concentration of data on certain months of the year for the corresponding decision making. The results obtained in the present study allow the assignation of vacations for these personnel, optimizing the personal dosimetry during this time and the efficient patient attention.

The GI/Geo/1 queue with Bernoulli-schedule-controlled vacation and vacation interruption

Consider a GI/Geo/1 queue with multiple vacation policies described as follows: when the system becomes empty, the server either begins an ordinary vacation with probability q(0@?q@?1) or takes a working vacation with probability 1-q. During a working ...
Analysis of multi-server queue with a single vacation (e, d)-policy

In this paper, we consider a Markovian multi-server queue with a single vacation (e,d)-policy. In an M/M/c system with such a policy, when d (<c) servers become idle at a service completion (or a customer departure) instant, e(≤d) idle servers take a ...
Analysis of a single-server retrial queue with FCFS orbit and Bernoulli vacation

This paper consider the M/G/1 retrial queue with Bernoulli vacation and generic retrial, vacation, setup and service time. We assume that the customers who find the server busy are queued in the orbit in accordance with an first-come-first-served (FCFS) ...
