Queues for service of one kind or another arise in many different
fields of activity. In recent years a considerable amount of
research has been conducted into the properties of simplified
mathematical models of such queueing systems. Our objects in the
present mono graph are threefold. First we have tried, especially
in Chapter I, to give an account of the general ideas that are
useful in describing and thinking about queueing systems. Secondly,
we have illustrated by examples some of the mathematical techniques
that are useful for the study of these systems. Finally, we have
given some explicit mathematical results which may be useful in
practical investigations. A recent bibliography gave some 600
papers on queueing and allied subjects. Clearly we cannot, in the
modest limits of the present work, cover more than a small
proportion of the huge amount of material available. However, some
results that we have not had space to discuss in detail have been
given in outline in the form of exercises."
This volume is based on prec'entations at the conference on Culture
of Marine Invertebrate Animals which was held in Green port, New
York in October, 1972. The conference was sponsored by the Middle
Atlantic Natural Sciences Council, Inc., a non profit educational
corporation, together with the Marine Science Centers of Adelphi
University, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Long
Island University, Suffolk County Community College, and the
Shelter Island Oyster Company. The purpose of the conference was to
provide a needed ex change of knowledge among scientists of various
specialties whose information would be invaluable to others
confronted with similar problems, even with different marine
animals. Part I considers supportive techniques -- general
isolation and culture methods, problems of disease and feeding.
Specific techniques employed in the culture of a wide range of
invertebrate organisms is covered in Part II. We want to thank the
contributors for their cooperation in preparing the manuscripts
based on their conference presentations. Walter L. Smith Matoira H.
