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.

OBJECTIVE Disgust is a basic emotion associated with feelings of revulsion and withdrawal behaviors from dangerous situations. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Disgust Scale--Revised (DS-R), a tool designed to measure individuals' responses to various disgust-provoking situations, among Korean populations. METHODS A sample of 1117 healthy volunteers comp...

The algebraic arithmetic-geometric mean inequality method (the algebraic AGM method) is used to derive the optimal lot size and the optimal backorders level for the EOQ and EPQ models with backorders and defective items introduced by [6]. The method is easy to derive both the optimal lot size and optimal backorders level without derivatives. AMS Subject Classification: 90B05

The heritability and stability over a 19 year period of long (23-item) and short (12-item) versions of Eysenck s Neuroticism scale were compared in a large Australian twin-family sample. Stability over 19 years of the 23-item Neuroticism scale was 0.62 and for the 12-item scale 0.59. Correlations between scores obtained by mailed questionnaire and telephone interview a few weeks apart were 0.87...

Anxiety about and fear of dental treatment have been recognized as sources of problems in the management of child dental patients. It has been suggested that some individuals who are fearful of or anxious about dental treatment have a constitutional vulnerability to anxiety disorders as is evidenced by the presence of multiple fears, generalized anxiety or panic disorders. Concerning the child ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the relationships between the risk factors and the incidence of nonfatal occupational injury of coal mine workers of Shanxi Province. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2013 to December 2013, and 4319 workers were recruited from more than 200,000 coal mine employees who are exposed to continuous potential risk of occupational injuries by using a two-s...
