Queuing Theory Case Study:

Queuing theory is the branch of probability theory, which is aimed to research the rational choice of the structure and system of service on the basis of the streams of demands for service, the type and the length of a queue. In queuing theory the methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics are applied. The first attempts to research the problems of queues and their management were carried out in Denmark in the beginning of the 20th century.

Queuing theory appeared during the research of the telecommunication systems and the manner of their work. The telephone operators connected the people who tried to ring someone up one by one.

People had to wait in a queue in order to make a call. Of course, the queues were different and on the basis of the types of the queues various systems of management appeared. Later on queuing theory was applied in other spheres of the human life: business, office, store, plant, factory, cafe, hospital, etc. Continue reading →

Natural Selection Case Study:

Natural selection is the major evolutionary process, which is characterized with the increase of the number of the individuals of the certain species which are supposed to be strong and prepared for the changes of the natural environment, so that they have the higher chance to survive. In the modern point of view natural selection is the main factor which develops the organism’s adaptation to the changes of the natural environment and improvement of the health and physical characteristics of the organisms. The natural selection is the single reasonable reason of adaptation but not the single reason of evolution. The latter is also caused by the genes’ alterations and mutations. The term ‘natural selection’ was introduced by Charles Darwin, who compared the natural selection to the artificial selection of species. He just defined that both processes are aimed at the change of the characteristics of species, but natural selection gives the chance for the strongest organisms to survive, making them better and less vulnerable and as a result closer to perfection. The artificial selection practised by the human being is not connected with the category of perfection, because people select the species with the very categories and characteristics they require for their household, food industry, etc. Continue reading →

Lyme Disease Case Study:

Lyme disease is the inflectional transmission disease which is caused by the special types of bacteria (directly three types) Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. This bacterium is active mainly in North America and the types Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are active in Europe.

The bacteria get to the human body through the wound and the disease starts to progress. The first symptoms of Lyme disease are fever, fatigue, headaches and the special so called chronic migrating redness on the skin. In the certain cases if the patient is genetically vulnerable towards the disease, the area of the infection’s activity can spread to joints, tissues, nervous system and even heart.
