The primary aim of this paper is a description of a previously unanalyzed kind of numeral quantifiers in Japanese. While the purpose is modest, I believe that it might shed light on the Neo-Davidsonian semantic architecture (see Parsons 1990, Schein 1993 and Kratzer 1996 among others). Specifically, I will introduce Event Partitioning Quantifiers (EPQs), which have not been analyzed in literatu...

*Correspondence: [email protected] 1Department of Mathematics, Techno India University, West Bengal, India Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this paper, we have developed an integrated supplier-manufacturer-retailer, joint economic lot-sizing model for the items with stochastic demand and imperfect quality. The supplier produces the item (raw...

An economic production quantity model with demand dependent unit production cost in fuzzy environment has been developed. Flexibility and reliability consideration are introduced in the production process. The models are developed under fuzzy goal and fuzzy restrictions on budgetary cost. The inventory related costs and other parameters are taken as fuzzy in nature. The problem is solved by par...

Recently, the enterprises, from a financial perspective, have been seeing that need of the integrating with others with trade credit policies as a promising issue for savings in the supply chain. In this direction, this paper establishes a new economic production quantity (EPQ) inventory model for deteriorating items under two levels of trade credit, in which the supplier offers to the retailer...

Huang and Huang [International Journal of Systems Science, 39 (2008), 539-546] offered the algebraic approach to investigate the retailer’s replenishment policy under trade credit on the economic production quantity (EPQ) model. In this paper, we propose an arithmetic-geometric mean inequality method to simplify the algebraic method of completing perfect square established by Huang and Huang (2...

Despite suffering from content ambiguity, a sample-specific scoring procedure, and the inappropriate use of cut scores, the Equity Sensitivity Instrument (Huseman. Hatfleld. & Mites, 1985) has been the primary measure used in equity sensitivity research. The purpose of the present undertaking was to propose and evaluate a new measure of equity sensitivity bas^d on systematic item-development pr...

The first empirical studies on the fear of being laughed at (gelotophobia; Ruch & Proyer, 2008a,b) indicated that it is a valid and useful new individual differences variable. The aim of the present paper is to examine where in the Eysenckian PEN-model gelotophobia can be located. Based on the available literature, gelotophobes are expected to be introverted, neurotic high P individuals. About ...

An EPQ model for the co-operative supply chain under the conditions of permissible delay in payments is developed in this work, in order to compare the co-operative supply chain with noncooperative supply chain; we also propose another EPQ model for the non-cooperative supply chain under the same conditions. In addition, we provide an efficient algorithm to obtain the optimal solution, and the ...

The proposed study considers both product deterioration and production process deterioration in a traditional Economical Production Quantity model. In this model, backlog and rework process are also taken into consideration while the production process is assumed to be imperfect. Unserviceable products will be manufactured as a result. Unserviceable products are kept in storage until the end of...

This study addresses the problem of "faking bad" (malingering) of abnormal types (non paranoid schizophrenia, paranoid schizophrenia, and psychopathy) when answering the EPQ-R-S personality questionnaire and clinical scales. We tested 180 students under two conditions: “fake bad” and “sincerity”. We demonstrated that although answers to EPQ-R-S may be deliberately and specifically modified, thi...
