In a Model Classification there are four categories:
1- Physical Models:
Those are real, low versions of the original. Examples include a bowl, a scale-model van made with elements from a toy construction set. In conclusion, many models are not concerted with operations research, as a reason of getting delicate analysis of complex systems through physical models is often very difficult.
2- Analogic Models:
This model is step down from the first one as they are physical models, but as a physical analog to give a better description of the system. Maybe the most famous example which was used by this model was the ANTIAC model (the acronym stood for anti-amputation) which proved that the user may use a valid OR analysis without the need of using the compute. The main objective of this problem was how to demonstrate the suppliers to many various military points with the best cost. . The most famous example of an analog model is the antic model which shows that a valid operation research analysis without even resorting to the use of a computer. In this case the main goal is to find the best way to distribute supplies at a military depot to various demand points. This problem can be solved effectively by using techniques from network flow analysis. The actual procedure that was used then took a different approach. An anthill on a platform was used as an analog for the depot and little mounds of sugar on their own platforms were chosen to represent each demand point. And the roads connecting the various nodes was represented through a network and through using bits of strings and the length of each is proportional to the real distance and the width was proportional to the capacity along that link. And ants was used in this experie...

... Considering just one product - gasoline - there are different properties that constrain the blends produced. These include the octane number, lead and sulfur content, volatilities etc., and as a response to this complex problem Texaco developed a system that is called OMEGA at the core of this was a non-linear optimization model which supported the case of interactive decision for optimally blending gasoline the omega was estimated to save Texaco about 30m$ annually and the previously mentioned system StarBlend is considered to be an extension of the OMEGA system where optimal decisions could be made over a longer planning horizon as opposed to a single period and in addition to blend quality constraints , the system also incorporates inventory and material balance constraints , the user uses an algebraic modeling called GAMS and a nonlinear solver called MINO S.
Lieutenant General Harold G. Moore was a phenomenal battlefield commander. His discipline in battle and ability to adapt to a challenging enemy was unprecedented at the time, and his expertise is proven time and time again in the years since his deployment to Vietnam in 1965. It is obvious when studying the battle at landing zone X-Ray that then-Lieutenant Colonel Moore had a masterful grasp of mission command, but his success in the face of a determined enemy was not solely the result of his actions on landing zone X-Ray. His impact on the battle originated long before
C.S. Lewis was one of the greatest know fictional writers; he created a wonderful series of books called The Chronicles of Narnia. His real name was Clive Staples Lewis but also his friends called him “Jack”. He was born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland. C.S. Lewis was married to Joy Davidman, his father was Albert James Lewis and his mother was Florence Augusta Lewis. He is best known for his fictional work and for his non-fictional Christian apologetics. When Lewis was a little boy him and his brother created the world of Boxen, also he had a fascination with anthropomorphic animals falling in love with Beatrix Potter’s and often writing and illustrating his own animal stories. When C.S. Lewis was a teenager most of his writings moved away from the tales of Boxen, and he began using different art forms to try to capture his new-found interest in Norse mythology and the natural world. In 1916 he was awarded a scholarship at University of Oxford.
It is time to stop sitting on the sidelines and join the tip of the spear. Throughout my 14 years in the U.S. Army, I have always challenged myself to seek new goals that will simultaneously serve the Army in a more demanding aspect. My work ethic and passion to serve has landed me at a point in my career where I am ready to apply my abilities to assist the Special Operations Command in any aspect deemed necessary. Joining the elite Special Operations Command is not just a goal, it is something that means much more.
For centuries, the value of horses was known to farming and working communities, but it was not until very recently in history that people began to see the value of a horse for the disabled and mentally handicapped. Hippotherapy, as defined by Barbara Smith, is “the use of the horse as a medical treatment strategy and not as a method to teach riding.” Dozens of studies show the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of this specialized therapy for certain disorders. The horse provides a stepping stone to well-being for people with debilitating illnesses that otherwise could not achieve optimal wellness through conventional therapies.

Fried chicken, a meat product that uses parts of chickens that are “coated with batter and seasoned, flour, and fried” (The Free Dictionary). It is popular all over the world, but is especially popular in the Southern community. However, in the African-American community, this meat product has taken on a racial meaning in the United States. It has become stereotypical for African-Americans to love fried chicken, along with watermelons, cornbread, and collard greens. This new meaning to fried chicken has affected our social community as well. The reason why this stereotype exists in the first place is hidden in history, dating back to the years when slavery was common.
As leaders, we know many people rely on and learn from our knowledge, attitude and

The Denver International Airport opened on February 28th, 1995. It wasn’t available for use nearly 16 months behind schedule costing 4.8 billion dollars, two billion over the spending budget. It is 35,000 acres which makes it the second largest airport on the planet and is about double the size of the next largest airport. The reasoning for opening a new airport for Denver was mysterious because Denver already had a functioning airport. This airport is also a whole 6 miles outside of Denver; basically, in the middle of nowhere. The entire roof of DIA is made of 15 acres of Teflon-coated, woven fiber glass. This material makes it impossible to find the place using radar.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” says Liz Noelcke who conducted a study of fitness in the workplace. Several businesses are now trying to figure out how to incorporate fitness into the office. Google is a very successful company that has supported making their employees healthier by having different options at lunch, and fitness programs throughout the day that varies from yoga, cycling, and Zumba. Employees tend to be happier and more productive when there are fitness programs throughout the day. There are several benefits to having a gym or a workout opportunity for your employees so they can workout on their lunch break. Several people enjoy the time to go workout at work so they can get home and spend time with their families. Also it is good for their health, and if every employee takes advantage of the extra time to workout there would be a huge savings for health benefits and insurance for your company.

My occupation is Psychology, I’d like to become a Psychologist because I like helping people and I would also like to understand why we as humans do certain things. A Psychologist has specific responsibilities and tasks to preform, they need to get information about the job, establish and maintain relationships, and make problem solving decisions. They would also need to Coach others, assist and care for others and also provide advice and consultation to others (Common Tasks).
High school is a very important time because it is when students begin to plan their life. I have started to think about my options and where they will take me in life. I am striving to have the life I have always dreamed about. I want to be able to look back on my life and believe it was successful. I plan on being a psychiatrist and living in Florida by the time I am thirty. I know that there is a lot of work needed to achieve my goals, but I believe with careful planning I can do whatever I would like.
