Seven protein structure comparison methods and two sequence comparison programs were evaluated on their ability to detect either protein homologs or domains with the same topology (fold) as defined by the CATH structure database. The structure alignment programs Dali, Structal, Combinatorial Extension (CE), VAST, and Matras were tested along with SGM and PRIDE, which calculate a structural dist...

We consider the periodic review inventory control problem in which the purchasing cost of the product changes, in a Markovian fashion, from one period to the next. After establishing (with and without the non-speculation assumption) that an order upto policy is optimal, we develop an efficient recursive solution procedure to compute the optimal levels. In addition, we propose a measure for the ...

Variability of demand for goods, depending on their availability and cost is a frequently observed phenomenon in the sphere production consumption. This paper discusses possibility using ABC analysis inventory management system. type makes it possible to apply various methods increasing income reducing costs particular products manufacturers.
 As known, process approach emphasizes systemat...

this paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. this problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...
