We investigated the relationships of anti- and prosaccades with psychometric schizotypy. One aim was to estimate the role of negative emotionality and general psychopathology (i.e. neuroticism) in this relationship. 115 non-clinical volunteers underwent infrared oculographic assessment of antisaccades and prosaccades. Schizotypy was assessed with the Personality Syndrome Questionnaire (PSQ-80),...

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...

While the schizoid dimension of personality has often been thought to be unitary, it has recently been suggested that several dimensions may be involved. In this study two separately derived normal population personality scales from within the psychoticism domain, the Rust Inventory of Schizotypal Cognitions (RISC), a scale designed to measure the positive cognitive schizotypal dimension, and t...

The perception of social support may be a trait-like construct stemming from the current personality and early environment as well as a summation of the actual support perceived. A total of 220 community individuals were examined for the effects of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) items and early life experience at home and outside on the number of sources of perceived social support and...

This study applies periodic preventive maintenance (PM) to economic production quantity (EPQ) model for a randomly failing production process having a deteriorating production system with increasing hazard rate: minimal repaired and reworked upon failure (out of control state). The minimal repair performs restorations and returns the system to an operating state (in-control state). It is assume...

The classical Economic Order Quantity (EPQ) models consider that the production rate is fixed and constant. But in many manufacturing and production processes the production rate is a function of stock on hand. For this sort of situations we develop and analyze an EPQ model with the assumption that the production rate is a function of the on-hand inventory and demand is a function of selling pr...

Women with bulimia nervosa and controls were compared on their short-form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R) scores. It was found that women with bulimia nervosa scored significantly higher on neuroticism and significantly lower on the Lie Scale. This latter result could not be explained by differentiation of the Lie Scale into its two components, social desirability and ‘faking ...

The EOQ and EPQ models with linear and fixed backorder costs are newly analyzed and all formulae are proven using only algebra. Two cases are identified, where backorders should and should not be allowed. The results are shown to include several known special cases. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
