In this paper, we develop mixed integer linear programming models to compute near-optimal policy parameters for the non-stationary stochastic lot sizing problem under Bookbinder and Tan’s static-dynamic uncertainty strategy. Our models build on piecewise linear upper and lower bounds of the first order loss function. We discuss different formulations of the stochastic lot sizing problem, in whi...

wiraqah as one of the common jobs among muslims had an important role in producing and popularity of the books. one who works in this occupation have called warraq (scribe, illuminator, bookbinder, etc. simultaneously). the first question comes to mind on this profession is how the wiraqah had begun as a job and who were the first warraqs. according to a common view, making paper by muslims was...

Bookbinding as a Stage of Book Production: On the Relations Among Printers, Booksellers, and Bookbinders This work discusses trade bound books in 16th century Poland. Its first part presents some insights into this topic based on extant archival sources, including earlier studies. In centuries following invention printing press, were generally sold form loose sheets, binding was to be commissio...

This volume is a collection of commissioned contributions, edited by James H Bookbinder, to follow up on a special issue of the journal Transportation Research E, edited by the same editor, which focused on Global Logistics. One of the goals of this volume is to have perspectives of logistics researchers in different geographic areas. Part I consists of four chapters. The first chapter by Chen ...

his eighties. In 1835, he married and settled in Paris as a teacher at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, while conducting agricultural experiments with his brother-in-law on an estate in the Alsace, which was sustained economically by revenues from oil-bearing sands. Although McCosh's account of the collaboration with Dumas and the fat controversy with Liebig does not replace that given by...

had completed by 1826. With the exception of Chemical Manipulation, all of Faraday's books had previously appeared in the periodical literature or else were transcriptions of public lectures. Like many another text, it arose out of a course, this one given at the Royal Institution as William Jensen describes in his "Michael Faraday and the Art and Science of Chemical Manipulation". Faraday had ...

Simultaneous electrochemical and electron spin resonance (SEESR) techniques were used to study the environment and rates of electron transfer in two viologen-based chemically modified electrodes. Electrodes derivatized with N,N'-bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-4,4'-bipyridinium, where the redox sites are covalently anchored to the polymer backbone, exhibit broad and featureless spectra upon redu...
