In this paper we consider a 1-warehouse, N-retailer inventory system where demand occurs at all locations. We introduce an inventory model which allows us to set different service levels for retailers and direct customer demand at the warehouse. For each retailer a critical level is defined, such that a retailer replenishment order is delivered from warehouse stock if and only if the stock level e
A new ternary orthorhombic compound with the formula Cu(5+δ)In(2+x)Sb(2-x), crystallizing in the space group Cmc2(1) with 36 atoms per unit cell [a = 10.1813(4) Å, b = 8.4562(4) Å, c = 7.3774(2) Å, Z = 4], has been synthesized by conventional high-temperature methods. The structure is based on the B8 archetype (NiAs/Ni(2)In) and features In/Sb ordering as well as ordering of interstitial copper. D
Routine information on regional evapotranspiration (ET) and dryness index is essential for agricultural water management, drought monitoring, and studies of water cycle and climate. However, this information is not currently available for the East Africa highlands. The main purpose of this study is to develop (1) a new methodology that produces spatially gridded daily ET estimates on a (near) real
The current research focuses in understanding how inlet pressure, EGR, combustion phasing, engine speed and pilot main ratio are affecting the main parameters of the combustion (e.g. efficiency, NOx, soot, maximum pressure rise rate) in the novel concept of injecting high octane number fuels in partially premixed combustion. The influence of the above mentioned parameters was studied by performing
There is little systematic research on the cross-cultural validity of the dissociative disorders, especially in non-western countries. This study evaluates the fit of the DSM-IV classification and concepts of these disorders with local concepts, experiences and local presentations in south-west Uganda. We conducted focus group discussions with medical students, traditional healers, religious leade
This paper investigates the evolution of income inequality in Spain during its transition to democracy, suggesting a method for the correction of under-reporting of earnings and profits in the Household Budget Surveys' data. The contribution is twofold: the methodological proposal, based on income-expenditure discrepancy and scaling-up to National Accounts, improves on previous work and can be use
One of the major ways in which economic inequality can increase is when the development of wages of ordinary workers trail productivity and GDP growth, meaning that the increasing riches fall in the hand of other social groups (top employees, owners of land and capital). This paper investigates the relationship between wages and GDP in Denmark, Norway and Sweden from 1800 to 1910, using wage serie
The article begins from critical accounts addressing the crisis of politics and citizenship today, to study the civic potential that several media and social scholars view in informal practices that include the usage of new media and information and communication technologies. On one hand, new media and ICT are noted to empower individual users and groups, to provide spaces of voice and debate and
Gas cooling is a technique used within the fire service to reduce the risks of the hot gaseous layer and create a better visibility. It is achieved by applying water into the gaseous layer. Successfully performing or implementing this technique is something that has not yet been accomplished in every brigade. This work has been focused on different parameters that affect gas cooling and is studie
Postpartum depression (PPD) has traditionally been investigated in mothers and only recently the focus has been shifted to men (Goodman, 2004). The current study aims to investigate causes underlying PPD symptoms in fathers, focusing on the role of Masculinity as described by Hofstede (1980) and comparing two countries that differ significantly in this dimension: Italy and Sweden. Data were collec
Based on my fieldwork, this thesis is an ethnography of an inclusive church in Fortaleza, Brazil. Inclusive churches define themselves as churches that welcome LGBT subjects both as adepts and in the church ranks. While most of the inclusive churches existing in Brazil today were created in the country, this ethnographic work focuses on a unique exception the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) in
The purpose of this thesis is to improve the current method of testing infrared lighting within Axis security cameras. The current method must be designed for each type of camera, is also large, unwieldy, and takes up a significant amount of floor space which could be better utilized. This will cut back testing and labor costs for the company, and will be more environmentally friendly in that less
This master thesis addresses urban sprawl, population growth and density in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The inhabitants of the capital area are estimated to increase by 19-26% by 2040. Reykjavik has a housing shortage, problem with sprawl, movability, walkability and transportation. The thesis question is how densification can be applied to the site of Kirkjusandur, a left over space just
