One of the most important [queuing network algorithms] is for multiple job classes: different classes of jobs can be identified and separate values of the basic parameters measured for each. The product form solution tends to be inaccurate when some job classes have priority over others, and when jobs have service time distribution of high variance at devices with first-in first-out (FIFO) queuing disciplines. 4, record 1, English, - first%20in%2C%20first%20out

The HDD construction method is used to install pipelines beneath obstacles-such as stream crossings, lakes, coastal bluffs and road or railroad crossings where conventional open trench pipe construction techniques would cause unacceptable environmental disturbance or resource impacts. Using the continuous bore hole method, a HDD tunnels beneath surface obstacles and then pulls pipeline back through the underground tunnel, leaving the surface undisturbed. The HDD installation involves four main steps: pre-site planning, drilling the pilot hole, expanding pilot hole by reaming, and pullback of a pre-fabricated steel pipe string. 3, record 5, English, - horizontal%20directional%20drilling

La technique du béton précontraint est différente, dans son principe, de celle du béton armé.
