Overview Stockpile management is a wide-ranging term that covers specific technical areas related to the safety and security of ammunition and explosives, in addition to issues such as the determination of stockpile size, types of stockpiles, and the management of ammunition in service. Effective stockpile management requires comprehensive planning in order to ensure that all activities related...

Flash cards have been shown to be useful for teaching sight-word reading. To date, the most effective flash-card instruction method is incremental rehearsal (IR). This method involves the instructor interspersing unknown stimulus items into the presentation of known stimulus items. In this study, we compared IR to a modified IR procedure-strategic incremental rehearsal (SIR)-to determine whethe...

The key difference between objective based multi-asset investing and traditional multi-asset investing is that the objective based portfolio is not anchored to a single strategic asset allocation (SAA) based on long run assumptions. The application of a long run SAA portfolio is convenient since it provides a basis for anchoring the investment strategy and therefore also provides a performance ...

determination of stockpile weight and stockpile inventory are critical to any quarry or mining operation, whether it is required by accounting firms or used internally for the quarterly balance of production and sales. generally, errors and problems originate from two factors. volume of stockpile that is traditionally worked out from the mapping results has a low accuracy due to irregular shape...

In keeping with current standards, we urge that old smallpox vaccines that were made in animal skin and are still a key part of our strategic national stockpile be tested for adventitious infectious agents. The advisory especially applies to viruses that have the potential for zoonotic transmission to human vaccine recipients.

Eradication of a disease promises significant health and financial benefits. Preserving those benefits, hopefully in perpetuity, requires preparing for the possibility that the causal agent could re-emerge (unintentionally or intentionally). In the case of a vaccine-preventable disease, creation and planning for the use of a vaccine stockpile becomes a primary concern. Doing so requires conside...

AIM To evaluate the current practices in laboratory disease detection, biosafety and biosecurity measures and information-sharing systems available to the public health systems in R. Macedonia and the Balkan region. METHODS Epidemiological studies were reviewed from the region to examine the high incidence of localized forms of human brucellosis. RESULTS There is clearly a need for the deve...

In this study, we contribute to the dynamic pricing literature by developing a finite horizon model for two firms offering substitutable and nonperishable products with different quality levels. Customers can purchase and store the products, even if they do not need them at the time, in order to use them in future. The stockpile of the products generated by customers affects the demand in futur...
