โœฆ Synopsis

However, human behaviour is highly variable and it is therefore essential for manpower planning that population heterogeneity is successfully modelled. In this paper we review methods of incorporating population heterogeneity into manpower modelling. The analysis of di!erentials in a manpower system is emphasized since they are a source of aggregation error in stochastic models. Two strategies have been stressed, the use of observable sources of heterogeneity as they a!ect wastage, and the latent sources which cannot be identi"ed precisely but are known to a!ect the key parameters of most models.

A continuous time Markov-renewal model is presented that generalizes the classical Young and Almond model for manpower systems with given size. The construction is based on the associated Markovrenewal replacement process and exploits the properties of the embedded replacement chain. The joint cumul

A general theory of spatially dependent bacterial growth in heterogeneous systems is developed by combining a structured-cell kinetic model of bacterial metabolism with reaction-diffusion equations describing the transport of nutrients in the growth medium. Rate constants in the theory are determine
