ON AN IMPROVED ELASTIC PESSARY.

Notice of an Anteversion Pessary

Practical use of the pessary.

The pessary is an effective tool in the management of a number of gynecologic problems. The pessary is most commonly used in the management of pelvic support defects such as cystocele and rectocele. Pessaries can also be used in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. The wide variety of pessary styles may cause confusion for physicians during the initial selection of the pessary. However...

On the Motion of an Elastic Body Rolling/Sliding on an Elastic Substrate

The three-dimensional evolutionary problem of rolling/sliding of a linear elastic body on a linear elastic substrate is studied. The inertial properties of the body regarded as rigid are accounted for. By employing an asymptotic analysis, it is shown that the process can be divided into two phases: transient and quasistationary. An expression for the frictional force as a function of the extern...

An Improved WAGNER-WHITIN Algorithm

We present an improved implementation of the Wagner-Whitin algorithm for economic lot-sizing problems based on the planning-horizon theorem and the Economic- Part-Period concept. The proposed method of this paper reduces the burden of the computations significantly in two different cases. We first assume there is no backlogging and inventory holding and set-up costs are fixed. The second model ...
