Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is an integrated approach for buyer–vendor coordination, according to which the vendor (supplier or manufacturer) decides on the appropriate buyer’s (retailer’s) inventory levels. The time value of money has not traditionally been considered in evaluating VMI supply chain’s total inventory cost in any studies up to now. Therefore, in the present study a new model ...

A Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) é um local que oferece atendimento para pacientes críticos, frequentemente necessitam ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI) e Fração Inspirada Oxigênio (FiO2) elevadas a fim se evitar hipóxia, muitos profissionais sabem sobre seus efeitos deletérios por isso acreditam oxigenação suplementar seja inofensiva consideram uma terapia benéfica, até mesmo quando não h...

Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) is a popular policy in supply chain management (SCM) to decrease bullwhip effect. Since the transportation cost plays an important role in VMI and because the demands are often fuzzy, this paper develops a VMI model in a multi-retailer single-vendor SCM under the consignment stock policy. The aim is to find optimal retailers' order quantities so that the total inv...

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the applicability of the Allen Cognitive Level Test (ACL) (Allen, 1982, 1985), developed for use with adult psychiatric patients, to emotionally disturbed children aged 8 to 15 years. The subjects' performance on the ACL was compared with their performance on two other instruments that measure features of cognition: the Developmental Test of Visual-Mot...

With the growth of virtualization and cloud computing, more and more forensic investigations rely on being able to perform live forensics on a virtual machine using virtual machine introspection (VMI). Inspecting a virtual machine through its hypervisor enables investigation without risking contamination of the evidence, crashing the computer, etc. To further access to these techniques for the ...

In a VMI service, a central production center (i.e. the vendor) can control the inventory of each retailer according to the optimization of the costs due both to the overfilling/stock-out of the inventories and to the travels required for the deliveries. In this work, an original mathematical programming approach has been formulated and implemented in order to show that under specific but commo...

Notwithstanding its mitosporic nature, an improbable morpho-transformation state i. e., sclerotial development (SD), is vaguely known in Aspergillus oryzae. Nevertheless an intriguing phenomenon governing mold’s development and stress response, the effects of exogenous factors engendering SD, especially the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) mediated interactions (VMI) pervasive in microbial nic...

Recent advances show that it is possible to reuse the legacy binary code to bridge the semantic gap in virtual machine introspection (VMI). However, existing such VMI solutions often have high performance overhead (up to hundreds of times slowdown), which significantly hinders their practicality especially for cloud providers who wish to perform real-time monitoring of the virtual machine state...

A ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI) é um método de respiração artificial utilizado como suporte vida em pacientes com insuficiência respiratória aguda (IRA). retirada da VMI definida desmame, onde o processo transição para a espontânea somente feito quando há resolução causa IRA. Entretanto, retirar indivíduo desse não tão simples, necessária uma avaliação clínica diária dar início às tentativ...
