In this note, we correct some typos that appeared in Yassine et al. {Yassine, A., Maddah, B., Salameh M., Disaggregation and consolidation of imperfect quality shipments in an extended EPQ model, International Journal of Production Economics 135 (2012) 345–352}, specifically, for one of their models that considered consolidating shipments of imperfect quality items across multiple production cy...

Objectives: The aim of this study is to confirm the main hypothesis of this work indicating that impairment of abstract thinking is met with in non psychotic psychiatric patients more than is usually believed. Method: The study group consists of 60 subjects; 20 non psychotic psychiatric patients (1 0 obsessives and 10 conversion), 20 schizophrenic patients and normal subjects. Impaired abstract...

The primary aim of this paper is a description of a previously unanalyzed kind of numeral quantifiers in Japanese. While the purpose is modest, I believe that it might shed light on the Neo-Davidsonian semantic architecture (see Parsons 1990, Schein 1993 and Kratzer 1996 among others). Specifically, I will introduce Event Partitioning Quantifiers (EPQs), which have not been analyzed in literatu...

*Correspondence: [email protected] 1Department of Mathematics, Techno India University, West Bengal, India Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this paper, we have developed an integrated supplier-manufacturer-retailer, joint economic lot-sizing model for the items with stochastic demand and imperfect quality. The supplier produces the item (raw...

An economic production quantity model with demand dependent unit production cost in fuzzy environment has been developed. Flexibility and reliability consideration are introduced in the production process. The models are developed under fuzzy goal and fuzzy restrictions on budgetary cost. The inventory related costs and other parameters are taken as fuzzy in nature. The problem is solved by par...

Despite suffering from content ambiguity, a sample-specific scoring procedure, and the inappropriate use of cut scores, the Equity Sensitivity Instrument (Huseman. Hatfleld. & Mites, 1985) has been the primary measure used in equity sensitivity research. The purpose of the present undertaking was to propose and evaluate a new measure of equity sensitivity bas^d on systematic item-development pr...

The first empirical studies on the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia; Ruch & Proyer, 2008a,b) indicated that it is a valid and useful new individual differences variable. The aim of the present paper is to examine where in the Eysenckian PEN-model gelotophobia can be located. Based on the available literature, gelotophobes are expected to be introverted, neurotic high P individuals. About ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Economic production quantity (EPQ) is the quantity of a product that should be manufactured in a single batch so as to minimize the total cost. In classical model EPQ only applies where the demand for a product and production rate is constant over the year. But in reality these parameters vary with time in different scenarios. In this paper we have considered a production ...

An EPQ model for the co-operative supply chain under the conditions of permissible delay in payments is developed in this work, in order to compare the co-operative supply chain with noncooperative supply chain; we also propose another EPQ model for the non-cooperative supply chain under the same conditions. In addition, we provide an efficient algorithm to obtain the optimal solution, and the ...

The proposed study considers both product deterioration and production process deterioration in a traditional Economical Production Quantity model. In this model, backlog and rework process are also taken into consideration while the production process is assumed to be imperfect. Unserviceable products will be manufactured as a result. Unserviceable products are kept in storage until the end of...
