In 1996, Pulak and Al-Sultan presented a rectifying inspection plan for determining the optimum process mean. However, they did not consider the quality cost for the product within the specification limits and did not point out whether the non-conforming items in the sample of accepted lot is replaced or eliminated from the lot. In this paper, we propose a modified Pulak and Al-Sultan’s model w...

BACKGROUND To date, there have been a limited number of studies on the impact of government-incentivised farm animal welfare programmes or 'schemes', and on farmers' attitudes regarding such schemes. In this study, focus groups were used to gain insight into Irish farmers' perceptions of such a scheme for suckler cattle and its behavioural impacts on farmers. RESULTS The findings were categor...

DESIGN Case-control study of users and non-users of cervical screening using a flexible visit plan that involved up to eight attempts at contact. Visits were made in mornings, aftern...

This paper presents a synthesis of the main theoretical and empirical contributions that analyse production choices of farm households living and operating in developing countries. The review is particularly concerned with recent micro-economic contributions that highlight the trade-off farm households typically face, between full-income risk and expected return, while making production decisio...

We provide a framework in which we link the valuation and asset allocation policies of defined benefits plans with the lifetime marginal productivity schedule of the worker and the pension plan formula. In turn, we examine the retirement policies that are implied by the primitives of the model and the value of pension obligations. Our model provides an explicit valuation formula for a stylized ...

Currently, China’s forest ecosystem focus is shifting from a single management objective to multiple objectives, aiming improve quality and maximize the benefits of services. Many difficulties problems are encountered in long-term development most northern state-owned farms—for example, fragmentation degradation landscapes caused by poor extensive land use—resulting an that unable provide optim...

The Extension Service, United States Department of Agriculture, funded a special project to approach development of extension materials for dairy farmers by systems analysis. Agricultural engineers created video tapes and publications on manure, feed handling, calf housing, and milking subsystems. Dairy scientists created slide-tapes and publications on controlling feed losses during harvest, s...
