There are subtle, and yet critical and unique differences that distinguish the depot maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) domain from production manufacturing. These differences motivate the need for more efficient ways to capture the essence of the depot MRO domain dynamics. The authors provide an informal characterization of the depot MRO by highlighting some of the major differences. Alon...

OBJECTIVE To find the time of the serum gonadotropin peak after depot leuprolide injection in children and to show that depot leuprolide therapy can be monitored by measuring serum luteinizing hormone (LH) immediately after injections. STUDY DESIGN We measured concentrations of leuprolide, LH, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) at multiple time points before and after the first dose of de...

1 Introduction On the Dispatching Problem Federico Di Miele Giorgio Gallo October 18, 2000 Most often, space is the scarce resource in Bus Depots located in congested urban areas: vehicles arriving at the end of their trips are packed together in a rather small space. That implies that, when a vehicle has to leave to start a new trip, most often, other vehicles have to be moved to clear the way...

Cache depot is a performance enhancement technique on cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (CCNUMA) multiprocessors, in which nodes in the system store extra memory blocks on behalf of other nodes. In this way, memory requests from a node can be satisfied by nearby depot nodes without going all the way to the home node. This not only reduces memory access latency and network traffic, but al...

AIMS AND METHOD To establish if participants with schizophrenia receiving depot antipsychotics had less insight than similar participants receiving oral atypical antipsychotics.We assessed the difference between these two groups. RESULTS Participants on oral antipsychotics had greater insight than those on depot antipsychotics (ITAQ, P=0.01). In the multiple regression analysis, only receiving ...

Depot-holders are women from the community who promote good health practice and use of clinics. They keep a stock of contraceptives and oral rehydration salts to supply other women and are paid some incentives. In 2003, the NGO Service Delivery Program (NSDP) introduced depot-holders in three types of urban area in Bangladesh as a pilot. This evaluation study was carried out to: (a) establish a...

Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has many applications in real systems, especially distribution and transportation. The optimal determination of vehicle routes impacts increasing economic interests. This research aims to find the solution Pick-up Delivery with Time Windows (VRPPDTW). Targets this problem included reducing distance travel penalties. Three penalties that were considered are a capaci...

The adoption of all-electric vehicles (EVs) has grown rapidly in the transportation industry, particularly for urban parcel deliveries. However, limited driving range EVs and high investment cost establishing charging infrastructures are still holdbacks to routing these EVs. In this paper, we present vehicle problem a mixed fleet conventional (CVs) via intermediate depots as an alternative stra...
