We consider the problem of determining (for a short lifecycle) retail product initial and replenishment order quantities that minimize the cost of lost sales, back orders, and obsolete inventory. We model this problem as a two-stage stochastic dynamic program, propose a heuristic, establish conditions under which the heuristic finds an optimal solution, and report results of the application of ...

A periodic medical examination is also referred to as a health screening, an annual checkup, preventive check or general checkup. This study aimed conduct systematic review in order identify the techniques, their origin, and conceptual foundation, well instruments items that were utilised evaluating views about examinations. Three databases searched using PRISMA checklist for publication search...

■ Abstract This review examines research on the assimilation of immigrant groups. We review research on four primary benchmarks of assimilation: socioeconomic status, spatial concentration, language assimilation, and intermarriage. The existing literature shows that today’s immigrants are largely assimilating into American society along each of these dimensions. This review also considers direc...

Black locust is one of the most commonly planted exotic tree species in world. It has a crucial role mitigating negative effects climate change. Its increment analyses have key forest planning. Increment added to wood stock over and again, only this continuous replenishment makes sustainable management possible. This study presents results analysis periodic annual (PAI) by diameter (dbh) volume...

We review recent developments in the theory for generic bifurcation from periodic and relative periodic solutions in equivariant dynamical systems.

Anesthesia-related periodic in voluntary movements in a patient with regional anesthesia or etomidate anesthesia can be alarming. This case report describes anesthesiarelated periodic involuntary movement in a patient undergoing cesarean section with epidural anesthesia. The anesthesia-related periodic involuntary movement occurred postoperatively in the recovery room. The discussion includes a...

This paper presents the feature-replenishment technique used by our 3D Feature Based Tracker (3DFBT). The 3DFBT is a distributed , agent-based system for real-time 3D visual motion tracking using stereo. Feature replenishment means that the system can nd new trackable features to replace those lost to noise and occlusion, and on new objects entering the scene, or revealed by dis-occlusion. This...
