Large deviation analysis of the single server queue

We establish the large deviation principle (LDP) for the virtual waiting time and queue length processes in the GI/GI/1 queue. The rate functions are found explicitly. As an application, we obtain the logarithmic asymptotics of the probabilities that the virtual waiting time and queue length exceed high levels at large times. Additional new results deal with the LDP for renewal processes and with the derivation of unconditional LDPs for conditional ones. Our approach applies in large deviations ideas and methods of weak convergence theory.This work was supported in part by AT&T Bell Labs.     

Characterization of distribution of pi-electrons amongst benzenoid rings for Randić’s “algebraic” Kekulé structures

For benzenoid hydrocarbons the distribution of pi-electrons amongst rings is characterized in the context of Randis mode of assignment attending to the different Kekulé structures. In particular the mean and mean deviation from the mean are considered, and the benzenoids which achieve maximum deviation are identified.     

Evaluation of the limit of performance of an analytical method based on a statistical calculation of its critical concentrations according to ISO standard 11843: Application to routine control of banned veterinary drug residues in food according to European Decision 657/2002/EC

Traceability of the measurement of analytical parameters capable of evaluating the performance of methods is an important concept for the assessment of quality for the routine control, especially for residue monitoring of non-authorized medicinal substances in food from animal origin. The European Decision no. 657/2002/EC recommends to calculate two statistical limits, CCα and CCβ, which allow to evaluate the critical concentrations above which the method reliably distinguish and quantify a substance taking into account the variability of the method and the statistical risk to take a wrong decision. The calculation, which can be derived from the ISO standard no. 11843 is applied on a routine basis. An example displays a very simple way for evaluating the performance of an LC-MSMS method which has been validated a few years ago and is qualified onto a Micromass Quattro LCZ tandem mass spectrometer to monitor and confirm the nitrofuran metabolite residues in food from animal origin.

A new approach for the sequential injection spectrophotometric determination of the total antioxidant activity

A sequential injection system based on the ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic-acid) methodology was developed. The proposed method, incorporating a mixing chamber in the side port of the selection valve, was evaluated to measure the total antioxidant activity of several beverages and foods.The ABTS⁺ is generated by oxidation of ABTS with potassium persulfate and is reduced in presence of hydrogen-donating antioxidants converting into a colourless product. The applicability of the developed method was tested by measurement of the antioxidant activity of pure compounds as well as by analysing complex food and beverage samples. The antioxidant activity was presented as l(+) ascorbic acid equivalence. The values obtained by this methodology were not significantly different from the results obtained by the original spectrophotometric ABTS assay. For most of the studied antioxidants, antioxidant activity varied with pH and dilution. The proposed SIA system is suitable for screening direct or diluted total antioxidant activity of pure compounds or food samples.     

Developing a sequential injection-square wave voltammetry (SI-SWV) method for determination of atrazine using a hanging mercury drop electrode

This paper describes the development of a sequential injection analysis method to automate the determination of atrazine by square wave voltammetry exploiting the concept of monosegmented flow analysis to perform in-line sample conditioning and standard addition. To perform these tasks, an 800 μL monosegment is formed, composed by 400 μL of sample and 400 μL of buffer/standard solution. To obtain an efficient homogenization, the sample solution is divided in five zones intercalated by four zones of the Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 2.0) in presence of appropriate concentration of NaNO₃ and varying atrazine standard concentrations. This mixture zone is isolated from the carrier solution by two 100 μL air bubbles. After homogenization in an auxiliary reaction coil the mixture zone is injected toward the flow cell, which is adapted to the capillary of a hanging drop mercury electrode, at a flow rate of 50 μL s⁻¹. After a suitable delay time, the potential is scanned from −0.5 to −1.2 V versus Ag/AgCl using a frequency of 300 Hz and pulse height of 25 mV. The linear dynamic range is observed for atrazine concentrations between 1.16 × 10⁻⁷ and 2.32 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, obeying the linear equation i_p = (−6.91 ± 0.07) × 10⁸[atrazine] + (4 ± 8), with r² = 0.9996, for which the slope is given in nA L mol⁻¹. The detection and quantification limits of the method are 2.1 × 10⁻⁸ and 7.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹, respectively. The sampling frequency is 37 h⁻¹, when the standard addition protocol is followed. This frequency can be increased to 42 h⁻¹ if the protocol to obtain in-line calibration curve is used for quantification. The method was applied for determination of atrazine in spiked river water samples and its accuracy was evaluated by comparison with the batch standard addition approach, which revealed that there is no evidence of statistically significant differences between the two methods.
