Contingencies are unexpected crises or events that cause a major threat to the safety, security and well-being of a certain population. This research effort builds upon the work on contingency logistics reliability models by Miman (2008) who extended the preliminary work conducted by Thomas (2004) that provides the modeling approach which takes a mission success orientation and focuses on the ability to recover from or prevent a contingency logistics failure. Miman (2008) proposes the sustainability model of a contingency logistics network using the concept of selective maintenance. This problem, once formulated, is a non-convex, non-linear, non-separable, multi-dimensional, discrete knapsac...

The accounts of 16th-century Franciscan monk Bernardino de Sahagun are the primary source for life in pre-conquest Mexico, but historians have mainly been concerned with seeing through the manuscripts to the information it reveals.
