Operations Research: Introduction To Models And Methods

Operations Research: Introduction To Models And Methods

Richard Johannes Boucherie; Henk Tijms; Aleida Braaksma

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2021
sidottu
This attractive textbook with its easy-to-follow presentation provides a down-to-earth introduction to operations research for students in a wide range of fields such as engineering, business analytics, mathematics and statistics, computer science, and econometrics. It is the result of many years of teaching and collective feedback from students.The book covers the basic models in both deterministic and stochastic operations research and is a springboard to more specialized texts, either practical or theoretical. The emphasis is on useful models and interpreting the solutions in the context of concrete applications.The text is divided into several parts. The first three chapters deal exclusively with deterministic models, including linear programming with sensitivity analysis, integer programming and heuristics, and network analysis. The next three chapters primarily cover basic stochastic models and techniques, including decision trees, dynamic programming, optimal stopping, production planning, and inventory control. The final five chapters contain more advanced material, such as discrete-time and continuous-time Markov chains, Markov decision processes, queueing models, and discrete-event simulation.Each chapter contains numerous exercises, and a large selection of exercises includes solutions.

Cystic Fibrosis: A Trilogy of Biochemistry, Physiology, and Therapy

Cystic Fibrosis: A Trilogy of Biochemistry, Physiology, and Therapy

John R Riordan; Richard C Boucher; Paul M Quinton

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press,U.S.
2013
sidottu
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a protein channel that regulates salt movement across the epithelial membranes of the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. In cystic fibrosis patients, salt transport is impeded, causing sticky, viscous mucus to build up and clog these vital organs. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine provides an in-depth examination of cystic fibrosis biology and treatment strategies. Contributors examine the structure and dynamics of CFTR, its normal physiological roles in the airway and digestive epithelia, and how those operations are impaired in patients with cystic fibrosis. The numerous CFTR mutations and how they alter the expression, synthesis, processing, and function of CFTR in cystic fibrosis and other CFTR-related disorders are considered, as are disease- modifying genes that influence disease severity. This volume includes discussions of therapy and treatment strategies for cystic fibrosis, such as airway clearance techniques, CFTR modulation or supplementation, and pancreatic enzyme replacements. It will be an essential reference for molecular and cellular biologists, physiologists, and clinicians interested in understanding the biological basis of the disease and the search for effective therapies.

The Politics of War

The Politics of War

Jean-Christophe Boucher; Kim Richard Nossal

University of British Columbia Press
2017
sidottu
When the Canadian government committed forces to join the military mission in Afghanistan following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, little did it foresee that this decision would involve Canada in a war-riven country for over a decade. The Politics of War explores how, as the mission became increasingly unpopular, Canadian politicians across the political spectrum began to use it to score points against their opponents. This was "politics" with a vengeance.Through historical analysis of the public record and interviews with officials, Jean-Christophe Boucher and Kim Richard Nossal show how the Canadian government sought to frame the engagement in Afghanistan as a "mission" rather than what it was – a war. They examine the efforts of successive governments to convince Canadians of the rightness of Canada's engagement, the parliamentary politics that resulted from the increasing politicization of the mission, and the impact of public opinion on Canada's involvement. This contribution to the field of Canadian foreign policy demonstrates how much of Canada's war in Afghanistan was shaped by the vagaries of domestic politics and political gamesmanship.

The Promising God

The Promising God

Richard P. Bucher

Two common problems ensure that most Christians will see but a few of God's promises fulfilled.The first problem-and the real focus of this book-- is that most Christians are totally unprepared for HOW God keeps his promises--how God gets from point A (making the promise) to point B (making the promise come true). That's a big problem, because . . . the way God gets from promise to fulfillment is so utterly strange and unexpected that many wrongly conclude that what he promised isn't going to happen. That God has said, "No " So they give up and move on--and lose out on the blessing. With copious examples from the Bible, The Promising God will-for the first time--pull back the curtain on God's promise-keeping methodology in easy to understand language. To prepare you. So you don't give up on the promised things and lose out on the blessings. The second problem is that most Christians know only a handful of Biblical promises. That's a problem, because God gives most of his blessings through his promises. The Christians who know more of God's promises, believe them and know how to use them, will experience far more blessings. The Promising God will show you how. In The Promising God, author and theologian Richard Bucher reintroduces us to the God that Christians worship. He truly is the promising God. Promise-making and keeping is not just another of his divine characteristics. It is an essential aspect of his identity as God. It is who he is. It is what he does. "God sure made a lot of promises . . . why does It seem sometimes that he doesn't keep them"?The Promising God is for people who have often wondered to themselves why God so seldom seems to keep his promises. On many occasions they have waited for him to do so, but have come away disappointed and bewildered. Because by all outward appearances, God didn't do what he promised. Eventually they have reached some conclusion like, "What I'm asking must not be God's will for me." Or "God must be displeased with me. He must know that I'm not putting him first in my life." But in most cases, that isn't it at all. The reason that what God promised sometimes doesn't seem to happen probably has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with God. It has to do with how he goes about fulfilling his promises. How he always has gone about fulfilling his promises. Strangely. Inexplicably. In a way that is frequently at odds with what anyone would expect. But once you know God's strange promise-keeping methodology, you'll realize that it isn't you. It's God doing what he has always done. You won't give up. You'll continue believe. You'll see far more promises fulfilled.In the pages of The Promising God you'll also find dozens and dozens of promises. In Chapter Two alone, Dr. Bucher provides concise commentary on 50 of the greatest promises of the Bible. Where God promises to: -give you whatever you ask him in prayer -provide you with all that you need-rescue you from your troubles -guide and direct you-renew and revitalize you-and countless more. And there is so much more. The book will show you: -That knowing how God goes about keeping his promises can be-and often is--the difference between receiving what he has promised or receiving nothing at all.-10 reasons WHY God fulfills his promises in such a strange way. -Why "If it was going to happen, it would have happened by now" is almost never true.-Why God often takes so long to answer our prayer.-That God doesn't require us to be doubt-free. He does expect us fight through our doubts. The book will show you how.-That the keeping of God's promises depends on his character, not ours. -That if your life has worsened while you've been waiting for what God promised to happen, it is probably a good sign, not a bad one -That not knowing how God fulfills his promises has led many to downgrade their expectations for God, guaranteeing that
