The paper proposes an input-output-waste (I-O-W) model as an extension of the input-output model to incorporate waste management (WM) aspects in national planning. The waste aspects have not been explicitly considered in the existing literature on input-output economics. It is visualized that in the economic structure the waste parameter has a significant role to play, and the I-O-W model will be a closer representation of the economy than that of conventional input-output models. Any unnecessary input to or any undesirable output from the system is considered as waste. The basic framework of an I-O-W model is presented, which consists of a technology matrix, a final-demand matrix, and a WM policy matrix. The resource balance has been established by treating the input to be equal to the sum of output and waste. The technological coefficients are interlinked by wastivity indices. The projections of a hypothetical economy consisting of one production sector and one WM sector have been determined for material resources and for different WM policies. 相似文献

Very few researchers have considered inventory models with partial backlogging. The models developed earlier considered a fraction of demand to be backordered while the remaining fraction is lost during the stock out period. In this paper we have developed an inventory model with partial backlogging, redefining the demand rate at a particular instant as a function of the amount of orders already backlogged at that instant of time. Infinite replenishment rate and zero lead time are assumed. Expressions for optimum order quantity and optimuim value of maximum inventory are obtained by minimizing the total system costs. The model is illustrated with a numerical example, including sensitivity analysis with respect to the backlogging parameter. 相似文献

By virtue of expressions of glial and neural surface markers and capability of neurotransmitter metabolism, amniotic epithelial cells are considered as candidate cell type for transplantation strategies to treat neurological disorders. Previously, we have reported neurotrophism exhibited by human amniotic epithelial cells when transplanted after spinal cord injury in bonnet monkeys. Amniotic epithelial cells were believed to secrete an “Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) - like” factor and exact identification was not made. At this juncture, through the present study it was found that, chicken neural retinal cells when grown alone failed to survive and contrarily when either co-cultured with chicken amniotic epithelial cells / cultured in amniotic epithelial cell conditioned medium not only survived but also showed extensive differentiation. Fibroblast Growth Factor – 2 (FGF-2) plays a critical role in retinal development especially in chicken neural retinal development. However, immunoassay using western blot did not revealed the presence of any already known isoforms of FGF-2 in the medium. It is interesting to note that while factor secreted by amniotic epithelial cells resembles EGF and/or FGF-2 in its biological action, known isoforms of them were not detected. Considering the biological closeness between EGF and FGF-2, results indicate the possibility of a novel isoform of these growth factors secreted by amniotic epithelial cells. Further studies will establish the nature of this novel factor which will enhance the application of this interesting cell type for neural transplantations. 相似文献

This paper examines the combined effects of flaw-severity distribution and fiber diameter distribution on the fracture statistics of glass fibers. The approach adopted is to assume specific forms (Gaussian and Weibull) for the diameter distribution, a Weibull distribution for the true strength, and then to calculate the measured strength distributions. Exact analytical results are obtained in the cases of flawless fibers, uniform size flaws, and when true strength and fiber diameter are Weibull distributed. Approximate analytical expressions have been derived for the general case. A procedure is described to obtain the parameters of the true strength distribution from the knowledge of measured strength distribution and the coefficient of variation of fiber diameters. Implications of these results for the fracture statistics of high-strength glass fibers are discussed. 相似文献
