The intent of this paper is to demonstrate that the theory of stationary point processes is a useful tool for the analysis of stationary inventory systems. In conventional inventory theory, the equilibrium distributions for a specified inventory policy are obtained, whenever possible, by recursive or limiting procedures, or both. A different and more direct approach, based on stationary point processes, is proposed here. The time instants at which stock delivery is effected are viewed as points of the stationary point process, which possesses uniform statistical properties on the entire real axis; hence the equilibrium statistics of the inventory process can be calculated directly. In order to best illustrate this approach, various examples are given, including some that constitute new results.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has provided a high-dimensional catalog of millions of cells across species and diseases. These data have spurred the development of hundreds of computational tools to derive novel biological insights. Here, we outline the components of scRNA-seq analytical pipelines and the computational methods that underlie these steps. We describe available methods, highlight well-executed benchmarking studies, and identify opportunities for additional benchmarking studies and computational methods. As the biochemical approaches for single-cell omics advance, we propose coupled development of robust analytical pipelines suited for the challenges that new data present and principled selection of analytical methods that are suited for the biological questions to be addressed.

RAWAT, Pwho began his education in his native India
received a Bachelor of Technology degree with honors from the Indian Institute of Technology in 1957. His subsequent education includes S. M.‘s in Industrial Management and Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering from M. I. T. in 1961 and a professional degree in Naval Architecture from the same institution in 1965. Rawat's career began as a Naval Architect in preliminary design with the Hamburg firm of Howladtswerke in 1958. A year later he performed as a research assistant in M. I. T.'s School of Industrial Management for a Ford Foundation Project for a top management training program for India. After this two-year period he acted as the head of the Department Head of Engineering at the Ghana Nautical College in West Africa until 1963. He returned to M. I. T. afterwards to work as a research assistant in Naval Architecture on structural optimization programs. From 1965 to 1966 he filled the capacity of Naval Architecture with M. Rosenblatt & Son in the area of structural design on such projects as MOHOLE AGOR 14 and Catamaran Hull. Since 1966 Rawat has been working in various capacities with Litton Industries: Senior Naval Architect on the FDL Project Section Manager of Hull Structures for the LHA and DD Projects
and his present position as Section Manager for Computer Aided Ship Design.

Many useful conclusions can be drawn if hull structural design is considered as a system. Proper definition of system objectives enables setting up of meaningful long range and intermediate goals. Current state-of-art in systems engineering is such that the system objectives can be denned in mathematical form. This provides meaningful scales for progress measurement. The engineering function is to meet the goals set by systems engineering. The state-of-art in engineering has a considerable impact on the definition of system objectives. In recent times we have made considerable progress in developing analytical techniques. Many interesting conclusions result from our experience in using the analytical tools in an iterative manner for design. By using relatively simple algorithms for iteration the analytical processes can be sequenced in such a manner that optimum solution is guaranteed even under a large and complex set of design constraints. Use of computers makes it possible to generate the scantlings using iterative approach with such speed that many important structural configuration decisions can be made by means of thorough parametric analyses. The system objectives therefore are very different in scope today and they should be further modified as technology advances. There are several problems that can be recognized and solved in the systems context. Smooth man-machine operation is an example of this.

Simulation-based methods for statistical inference have evolved dramatically over the past 50 years, keeping pace with technological advancements. The field is undergoing a new revolution as it embraces the representational capacity of neural networks, optimization libraries, and graphics processing units for learning complex mappings between data and inferential targets. The resulting tools are amortized, in the sense that, after an initial setup cost, they allow rapid inference through fast feed-forward operations. In this article we review recent progress in the context of point estimation, approximate Bayesian inference, summary-statistic construction, and likelihood approximation. We also cover software and include a simple illustration to showcase the wide array of tools available for amortized inference and the benefits they offer over Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The article concludes with an overview of relevant topics and an outlook on future research directions.

The commercial exploitation of distributed computing technologies is slowly starting to become popular under the general area of cloud computing. These solutions allow selling and buying of resources (i.e., computing, network, software, and data resources) on demand. Existing solutions in this area are diverse, ranging from Infrastructure-- a-Service (IaaS) models via Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models. Although the economics of these services is not yet fully understood and the interoperability between such services is still lacking, a common market for computing services is slowly developing. Such a market would allow buyers and sellers of computing services to trade their excess capacity or make available their capacity at a cost. However, it is still not p- sible for a market participant to act as a resource provider or seller, or trade based on the current level of demand. Another example of a developing open market is the emergence of Web2.0-based services. These enable consumers to create new services by aggregating services from multiple providers. The benefit of these solutions is that “value” can be created by combining services at different prices.
