This paper presents an outline methodology and an operational framework for assessing and mapping the risk of death or serious harm to people from flooding, covering death and physical injuries as a direct and immediate consequence of deep and/or fast flowing floodwaters (usually by drowning),...

This work deals with the continuous time lot-sizing inventory problem when demand and costs are time-dependent. We adapt a cost balancing technique developed for the periodic-review version of our problem to the continuous-review framework. We prove that the solution obtained costs at most twice...

A simple deterministic model is proposed to represent the basic aspects concerning the effects of different antiretroviral treatment schedules on HIV incidence and prevalence of affected populations. The model mimics current treatment guidelines applied in Brazil. However, the model does not...

In this study, we consider the coordination of transportation and production policies between a single supplier and a single retailer in a deterministic inventory system. In this supply chain, the customers are willing to wait at the expense of a waiting cost. Accordingly, the retailer does not...
