Statistical-empirical forecasting guidance for the occurrence of fog at Mount Gambier Airport

The forecasting problem Mount Gambier Airport, in the southeast of South Australia, is one of the most fog-prone aerodromes in South Australia. At Mount Gambier Airport, the occurrence of fog has greater impact on aviation operations than does any other weather phenomenon. On average, fog occurs at Mount Gambier Airport on about 40 days each year and can occur in any month although the mid-year...

Dynamical Studies of Equations from the Gambier Family

We consider the hierarchy of higher-order Riccati equations and establish their connection with the Gambier equation. Moreover we investigate the relation of equations of the Gambier family to other nonlinear differential systems. In particular we explore their connection to the generalized Ermakov–Pinney and Milne–Pinney equations. In addition we investigate the consequence of introducing Okam...

A Quasi-Lie Schemes Approach to Second-Order Gambier Equations

A quasi-Lie scheme is a geometric structure that provides t-dependent changes of variables transforming members of an associated family of systems of first-order differential equations into members of the same family. In this note we introduce two quasi-Lie schemes for studying second-order Gambier equations in a geometric way. This allows us to study the transformation of these equations into ...

Mount Sinai Hospital Uses Integer Programming to Allocate Operating Room Time

I n most developed countries, except the United States, strategies for providing universal access to health care while containing costs involve formal or informal caps on health-care spending (Pierskalla and Brailer 1994, p. 470). As a result of centrally constrained funds, resource-allocation problems in which a central authority must plan for and allocate limited resources to competing groups...
