In this note we consider a fluid flow, single part-type, single unreliable machine production system with a bounded backlog/inventory space. We prove that, as in the unbounded case, the problem of minimizing an infinite horizon average demand loss/backlog/surplus cost is solved by a hedging point policy. An implicit equation is given, whose structure easily allows to numerically evaluate the op...

Hog thyroid tautomerase (EC 5.3.2.1, phenylpyruvate keto-enol isomerase), an enzyme which is believed to play a role in the biosynthesis of thyroxine, has been purified over lOOO-fold. The purification procedure involves a heat step at 70”, gel f&ration on Sephadex G-100, ion exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl Sephadex C-50, and, finally, gel titration on Sephadex G-50. The enzyme is homo...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) will continue to be a serious global health threat for many years to come because of the chronic nature of the infection, its high prevalence and the significant morbidity of the resulting disease. Recently, a small number of molecules have produced encouraging results in proof-of-concept clinical trials. At the same time, preclinical evidence is accumulating that develo...
