Reparable Harm: Assessing and Addressing Disparities Faced by Boys and Men of Color in California
$55.00
The study identifies some of the greatest disparities for boys and men of color relative to their white counterparts across specific socioeconomic, health, safety, and school readiness indicators in California and provides information about different strategies for reducing the disparities--including effective programs, practices, and policies--that can begin making an important difference in changing the life course of boys and men of color.

Reparable Inventory Reduction: Impacts on Air Force Fighter Aicraft Mission Capability
$49.95
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A660273. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: During the 1990's the Air Force experienced severe declines in serviceable inventory levels and a rise in their TNMCS rates. Air Force predictions of TNMCS hours during this time period did not account for the upward trend in TNMCS rates. The Air Force uses a regression equation, consisting of possessed hours, flying hours, and sorties, to predict TNMCS hours. This research, through simple linear regression, found a significant relationship between serviceable inventory levels and TNMCS rates for 8 of the 10 aircraft studied. Using this relationship, serviceable inventory levels were then added to the Air Force equations and new multiple regression equations were derived. Results indicate the addition of serviceable inventory as an explanatory variable renders a better Theil's U-statistic for each of the aircraft studied than the current predictions. The study recommends adding a logistics chain variable to TNMCS predictions and careful consideration of further reparable inventory reductions.

Modal Selection Analysis of Depot Level Reparable Asset Retrograde Shipments Within the Continental United States
$23.95
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A709214. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Transportation modal choice for the Air Force retrograde movement of reparable assets within the CONUS is inflexible and is not synchronized with the depot repair process. Additionally, transportation coordinators are compelled by unsynchronized priorities and shipping policies to use express air modes in all cases when the use of LTL modes may be available to meet actual service level requirements at a lower cost, There may be cases where the retrograde shipments of reparable assets via an alternative transportation mode, such as LTL, can still meet fast transportation requirements at an even lower cost than can premium transportation. Historical retrograde shipment data of reparable assets was analyzed in terms of dollars to determine efficiencies resulting from various modal choices between express air and LTL modes. Additionally, the feature of consolidation was explored in portions of the analysis when LTL modes were selected. The Lowest Cost Mode method of modal selection in conjunction with a consolidation strategy whenever LTL was used resulted in a 62,312 dollar or 50.8 percent cost benefit of aggregate transportation costs over a Lowest Cost Mode method without a consolidation strategy. Just the consideration of either LTL or express air modes in each shipment significantly reduced aggregate transportation costs.
