Cost Effectiveness Approach to B-1B Consumable and Reparable Procurement Strategies
The use of a cost effectiveness methodology to evaluate inventory procurement strategies can provide added insight into the best possible use of limited financial resources. This research utilized a cost effectiveness approach to evaluate the procurement of B-1B bomber spare parts used for base-level maintenance operations. Average number of backorders and average MICAP hours data for 32 Federal Supply Class (FSC) categories were drawn from an Arena simulation model based on historical supply and maintenance data from Ellsworth Air Force Base, along with corresponding cost data from the Air Force Total Ownership Cost database. With this data, the cost per average MICAP hour for each FSC were analyzed to gain insight into which FSCs are most likely to positively influence MICAP hour reductions in a cost effective manner. This exploration highlighted the benefits of targeting FSCs with a low procurement cost to cost per MICAP hour ratio to capitalize on the efficient use of appropriated funding and the subsequent effect on MICAP hour reductions.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dangerous Tides
The dangers and risks lurking in the deep waters of the world, be they profane and natural (storms, currents, shoals, cliffs, pirates) or divine and supernatural (the wrath of one or more gods, magic, sea monsters) are as individual and diverse as the stories of their consequences - and as numerous as the intentions behind these retellings and reconfigurations. In their telling, specific dangers become accepted risks that those who undertake the venture of a sea voyage choose (or not) to expose themselves to. Maritime actors make their assessments of the balance between risk and benefit according to historical and contemporary cultural criteria, which are contingent on the discursive horizon of their time, as reflected in iconographic and textual sources. Building on sociological and historical understandings of "risk" as conscious exposure to specific dangers, the case studies in this volume engage with conceptions and discourses of maritime risks in written and visual media from antiquity to the early modern world, with contributions ranging from early Greek epic to British Atlantic merchants in the 1700s. This broad perspective enables a multifaceted study of representations of maritime dangers in words, images, and numbers, and to discuss contemporary discourses on causes, consequences, and methods for avoidance of maritime risk.

Freakonomics Twentieth Anniversary Edition
The legendary bestseller that made millions look at the world in a radically different way returns in a beautiful 20th anniversary edition featuring a new forewordWhich is more dangerous: a gun or a swimming pool? Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? What do real estate agents and the KKK have in common?These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much-heralded scholar who studies the riddles of everyday life--from cheating and crime to sports and child-rearing--and whose conclusions turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives--how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they explore the hidden side of everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a great deal of complexity and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and--if the right questions are asked--is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.This 20th anniversary edition of the book includes a gorgeous new cover design and a new foreword by Stephen Dubner, reflecting on the unexpected impact Freakonomics has had on the world over the last two decades, as well as the New York Times Magazine profile Dubner wrote about Levitt that started it all.

Cause, Effect, and Everything in Between
A practical guide to understanding the science of cause-and-effect for everyday decision-making. In Cause, Effect, and Everything in Between, Aboozar Hadavand provides an easy-to-read and non-technical foundation to causal inference, especially for readers without a strong background in math and statistics. Rather than using statistical equations and mathematical theory, Hadavand focuses on developing readers' ability to analyze causal questions through a causal perspective. Using relatable examples, including the myth of the Swimmer's Body Illusion, the relationship between sleep apnea and growing a beard, and the relationship between smoking and dementia, Hadavand simplifies complex causal ideas. The book starts by defining the fundamental concepts of causality, such as causal questions, causes, and effects. It then explores different types of causal inference problems, graphical tools for expressing causality, the shortcomings of randomized trials, and methods for inferring causality from observational data. Further, Hadavand debunks common misconceptions and teaches readers to differentiate between correlation and causation at a deep level by simplifying the concept of confounding bias and causal graphs. A concise and accessible introduction to causal inference that also includes end-of-chapter case studies with answers, this book equips readers to understand and critique scientific findings involving causal claims.

Agriculture and the State
Here is an irreverent, insightful view of farm programs in the United States, clearly separating political rhetoric from economic reality. Analyzing the effects of price supports, marketing orders, credit and export subsidies, and other farm programs, professor Pasour shows how they especially hurt the small farmer and victimize the general public. He also exposes current farm policies as being responsible for high food prices and the widening destruction of the environment. This book sets forth how only through abolishing the gravy train of farm subsidies and other special privileges will American consumers find relief and American agriculture achieve significant economic progress. Despite record expenditures, government farming programs have not solved the farm problem. However, farm programs still command powerful political support. This book is a hard-hitting analysis of how farm programs have mainly benefitted large corporate farming interests at the expense of small farmers and the general public.
The Economic Consequences of the Peace (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
A prophetic masterpiece that shaped the course of the twentieth century.First published in 1919, The Economic Consequences of the Peace is John Maynard Keynes's searing indictment of the Treaty of Versailles. Drawing on his unique vantage point as a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference, Keynes exposes the flawed logic and vengeful spirit that drove the Allies to demand impossible reparations from a shattered Germany. With clarity and precision, he warns that these punitive measures would not only cripple Germany's recovery, but also imperil the economic stability of all Europe and, ultimately, the world.Keynes's analysis proved uncannily accurate. The economic chaos and resentment he predicted fueled the rise of extremism and paved the way for another devastating conflict. His book quickly became an international sensation, shaping public opinion and influencing policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic. It remains a touchstone for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of economics, politics, and peace.In an era marked by global crises, fractured alliances, and the resurgence of nationalism, Keynes's insights are more relevant than ever. He understood that economic policy and international cooperation are inseparable-and that the seeds of future conflict are often sown in the failures of peace.This meticulously produced new edition invites readers to rediscover Keynes's urgent call for empathy, foresight, and economic wisdom. With its enduring lessons and vivid prose, it stands as a warning-and a guide-for all who care about the fragile architecture of peace. Includes a critical review of The Economic Consequences of the Peace by fellow economist Thorstein Veblen and biographical essays on both authors.
