Sanitary considerations for contingency operations

CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) Thesis documentMilitary forces are frequently called upon to accomplish missions that involve temporary housing of military and civilian personnel for varying periods of time. This paper addresses the sanitary aspects of providing proper living conditions for military troops, temporarily displaced civilians and refugees. The primary focus is on the collection, storage, removal and treatment of human waste, and provisions for water and power supply to support these systemshttp://archive.org/details/sanitaryconsider00honkCIVIN

Digital enterprise solution for integrated production planning and control

Abstract: Digital enterprise technologies combined with sophisticated optimization algorithms can significantly contribute to the efficiency of production. The paper introduces a novel approach for integrated production planning and control, with the description of the mathematical models and solution algorithms. The deterministic optimization algorithms are complemented by a discrete-event simulation system to assess solution robustness in case of disturbances. The methods are illustrated by describing two prototype systems and by some experimental results obtained in an industry initiated project
