Periodic flexible maintenance planning in a single-machine production environment
Preventive maintenance is the essential part of many maintenance plans. From the production point of view, the flexibility of the maintenance intervals enhances the manufacturing efficiency. On the contrary, the maintenance departments tend to know the timing of the long term maintenance plans as certain as possible. In a single-machine production environment, this paper proposes a simulation–o...
متن کاملAn epidemic model in a patchy environment.
An epidemic model is proposed to describe the dynamics of disease spread among patches due to population dispersal. We establish a threshold above which the disease is uniformly persistent and below which disease-free equilibrium is locally attractive, and globally attractive when both susceptible and infective individuals in each patch have the same dispersal rate. Two examples are given to il...
متن کامل1 Transmission dynamics of Echinococcus multilocularis in a patchy environment
We illustrate some of the challenges and potential benefits of modelling parasite population dynamics in a spatially explicit manner, using the example of Echinococcus multilocularis in semi-arid areas of Kazakhstan. We show that by taking a parasite-focussed approach to modelling population dynamics, rather than the usual host-focussed approach, we gain new insights into the complex factors th...
متن کاملA Periodic Ross-macdonald Model in a Patchy Environment.
Based on the classical Ross-Macdonald model, in this paper we propose a periodic malaria model to incorporate the effects of temporal and spatial heterogeneity on disease transmission. The temporal heterogeneity is described by assuming that some model coefficients are time-periodic, while the spatial heterogeneity is modeled by using a multi-patch structure and assuming that individuals travel...
متن کاملGenotype-environment interactions and the maintenance of polygenic variation.
Genotype-environment interactions may be a potent force maintaining genetic variation in quantitative traits in natural populations. This is shown by a simple model of additive polygenic inheritance in which the additive contributions of alleles vary with the environment. Under simplifying symmetry assumptions, the model implies that the variance of the phenotypes produced across environments b...
