We study a model of freely cooling inelastic granular gas in one dimension, with a restitution coefficient which approaches the elastic limit below a relative velocity scale delta. While at early times (t<>delta;{-1}) it exhibits a new fluctuation-dominated phase orde...

‎This paper proposes a multi-supplier multi-product inventory model in which the suppliers have unlimited production capacity, allow delayed payment, and offer either an all-unit or incremental discount. The retailer can delay payment until after they have sold all the units of the purchased product. The retailer’s warehouse is limited, but the surplus can be stored in a rented warehouse at a...

Abstract This paper sketches a model of product differentiation according to the hedonic hypothesis that is based on the theory of consumer behavior of Lancaster (1971). Lancaster suggested that utility is derived from the characteristics of the good and not the good itself. Thus, from the perception of the consumer, every characteristic has a price. This is the hedonic (or implicit) price. We ...

In this paper, we present an optimal burn-in model for repairable assembly products (RAP) sold under warranty. The general repairable products, sold under warranty and optimal burn-in model by Sheu (2004) are further extended to the case in which the probability of type II failure is independent for a parent item. This paper investigates a parent item (product or system) made up of two items (s...

in management accounting information systems, managers use accounting information systems to be able to predict or have the data structured by the use of decision support systems and business intelligence. so, the use of management accounting information systems is necessary in management decision-making process based on decision support and business intelligence. this paper reviews the liter...

Various traps were evaluated for capture of western flower thrips, Franklinella occidentalis (Pergande). More thrips were attracted to blue sticky cards compared with yellow or white cards. With the addition of blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) thrips numbers on blue cards increased 2.2 fold. The numbers of thrips caught per 10cm on blue sticky cups were 2.4 times more than on blue sticky cards...

BACKGROUND Heart failure disease management programs can influence medical resource use and quality-adjusted survival. Because projecting long-term costs and survival is challenging, a consistent and valid approach to extrapolating short-term outcomes would be valuable. METHODS We developed the Tools for Economic Analysis of Patient Management Interventions in Heart Failure Cost-Effectiveness...

BACKGROUND Behavioural problems are common among adolescents. The burden on society in social disturbance, health, failures to contribute and costs has triggered innovative community-based interventions such as multisystemic therapy (MST). AIMS Our aim was to compare the cost-effectiveness of MST and treatment as usual (TAU). METHODS Cost-effectiveness was assessed alongside a randomised cl...
