Logistic regression is the most common method used to model binary response data. When the response is binary, it typically takes the form of 1/0, with 1 generally indicating a success and 0 a failure. However, the actual values that 1 and 0 can take vary widely, depending on the purpose of the study. For example, for a study of the odds of failure in a school setting, 1 may have the value of f...

In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters. It is noteworthy that limited historical data are in hand on relief operations. Hence, analytical and approximate solutions for optimal relief order quan­tity were derived. The effect of lead-time uncertai...

microstructural evolutions of twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel during tensile straining wereinvestigated by in situ sem observations. the results indicated that slip lines and mechanical twins aswell as surface relief were increased with increasing strain, resulting in a stepped surface. additionally,these deformation mechanisms could change the shape of each grain via shear and rotatio...

The coordination problem of relief items’ distribution operations is essential in humanitarian relief chains. If the coordination is proper, it will improve the response phase to the crisis. In order to improve the coordination in humanitarian relief chains, distribution and warehousing operations of relief items were outsourced to the third-party logistics. In this paper, the procurement-distr...

The development of vaccines to combat the COVID-19 pandemic brought a huge relief governments, health workers, and citizens around globe. However, some are not willing get vaccinated. Some researchers have attributed this vaccine hesitancy religion trust in government handling pandemic. This research aims investigate impact these two factors on acceptance Africa. We used data from round 8 Afrob...
