I N I T S t en th annual report the Social Security Board declared t h a t "the adequacy of an insurance system must be judged by the extent to w h i c h its benefits, i n conjunction w i t h i n dividual resources, provide a reasonable degree of security for the large major i ty of beneficiaries." 1 To apply this cri terion of adequacy to the benefits paid under old-age and survivors insurance, i t is necessary to devise some method of measuring the resources of the beneficiaries against a standard which can be accepted as describing a "reasonable degree of security."

متن کاملTechnical Note: An opportunity cost maintenance scheduling framework for a fleet of ships: A case study
The conventional method towards deriving schedule for a fleet of ships to minimize cost alone has the short-coming of not addressing the problem of operation revenue losses associated with delays during maintenance at ships dockyards. In this paper, a preventive maintenance schedule for a fleet of ships that incorporates op-portunity cost is presented. The idea is to assign a penalty cost to al...
متن کاملMaintenance Cost Analysis for Replacement Model with Perfect Minimal Repair
With the evolution of technology, the maintenance of sophisticated systems is of concern for system engineers and system designers. The maintenance cost of the system depends in general on the replacement and repair policies. The system replacement may be in a strictly periodic fashion or on a random basis depending upon the maintenance policy. At failure, the repair of the system may be perfor...

متن کاملGenetic parameters estimation of growth in Salmo trutta caspius as a function of body weight and Length
There is no available adequate information on the biology and genetics of the Caspian salmon (salmo truta Caspiu) living in the Caspian Sea with other species such as common carp families, sturgeons and etc., therefore we are interested in knowing whether selection for rapid growth rate in salmo trutta Caspius will potentially lead to correlated genetic response in body weight and length. The...
