	Wisconsin Late-Season Deer Hotspots
		DMU 63A was the best unit with 225 dead deer, of which 65, or 29 percent, were bucks.
		DMU 65B, again in the central area, came in fifth with a total of 127 deer, and antlered animals were 23 percent of that total.
		DMU 14 came in with 110 whitetails and 35, or 32 percent, were antlered.

		DMUs (diesel multiple units) â” both FRA- (Federal Railroad Administration) compliant and non-compliant â” are emerging as niche players that eventually could have significant impact on the regional rail market.
		The TTA is in the final stages of a procurement of 12 bi-directional married pairs of FRA-compliant DMUs for a 28-mile line that's expected to begin revenue service in mid-2008.
		The DMU will be powered by two turbocharged, intercooled six-cylinder diesel engines connected to a five-speed automatic transmission with integrated torque converter and retarder.

		While the LRV and the lightweight DMU have evolved from vastly different backgrounds, the only major difference between the latest models of the two modes is that LRVs employ electric motors powered through pantographs, and lightweight DMUs use bus-style diesel engines and transmissions.
		Lightweight DMUs are being considered in a number of cities in existing corridors where the cost of electrification may not be justified.
		If the DMU option is selected, the line could be electrified in the future as part of a series of incremental improvements to the line as ridership builds.

	DMU Railcars at the Dean Forest Railway
		DMU stands for Diesel Multiple Unit, which is basically a self powered railway carriage or a number of carriages, ie: ‘multiple’.
		DMUs were first introduced in 1954 just before the British Rail Modernisation Plan in 1955 which quickly led to large numbers of DMUs being built by B.R. Workshops and outside commercial builders.
		The Dean Forest DMU Group was formed to purchase vehicle numbers E50619 and M56492, which arrived at the Dean Forest Railway on the 20th April 1992.

	OR/MS Today - April 1998 - Software Review
		DMUs found to be inefficient are strictly inefficient in a Pareto sense in that at least one other DMU can produce outputs for less input.
		A DEA score of 0 would mean that a DMU is maximally inefficient in comparison to all the other DMUs being compared, while a score of 1.00 would mean that a DMU is 100 percent, relatively efficient by comparison.
		The reference set represents the other DMUs that constitute "best practices" and to which the relatively inefficient DMU is being compared.

	INFOR: Cross-evaluation in DEA: Improving discrimination among DMUs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In order to give a reasonable balance of efficient and non-efficient DMUs from DEA, Charnes and Cooper (1991) have suggested, as a rule of thumb, that there should be three times as many DMUs as the number of inputs plus outputs.
		Although Smith and Maynard claim that the count is "an important supplementary measure in assessing the robustness" of simple efficiency, there are a number of factors that limit the usefulness of the count as a stand-alone statistic.
		Under stochastic assumptions those DMUs that were labelled non-efficient should perhaps more accurately be described as efficient with a certain probability under certain conditions.

		Department of Natural Resources wildlife managers will discuss deer harvest results by DMU, population estimates, and proposed antlerless quotas for the units, and the historic likelihood of reaching those quotas with the regular nine-day hunting season framework.
		A DMU is placed in the Zone T season framework if biologists determine that a regular season framework is not likely to bring the unit to within 20 percent of the established population goal for that unit.
		Wisconsin is divided into 132 deer management units that allow DNR wildlife biologists to better manage the state's deer population based on the amount and types of habitat and other conditions relevant to that geographic area.

		Although DMUs have diesel engines, they are much quieter than the freight trains operating in the same corridor.
		Several DMUs can easily and quickly be coupled together to make a longer train if a higher passenger capacity is needed, for example, during the morning or afternoon peak hours or during special events.
		DMUs are powered by diesel motors which makes them independent from the catenary (e.g.

		A single DMU can seat anywhere from 90 passengers in its standard model to 180 in its double-decker version while pulling one or two conventional passenger cars.
		A DMU was greeted by a chorus of "oohs" and "ahs" as it rolled into Tri-Rail's Griffin Road station at lunchtime Wednesday.
		The DMUs impressed riders with an interior that could rival a hotel lobby: cushioned, upholstered seats; domed and tinted windows; and a quiet, carpeted passenger compartment.

	Frequently Asked Questions About Deer Hunting
		The three special DMUs with the "no spike" restriction are Deer Management Unit 135, Drummond Island (DMU 117) and South Fox Island (DMU 245).
		An antlered deer taken in DMUs 045, 122, 152, 155 or 252 must have at least 1 antler with 3 or more antler points, 1 or more inches in length.
		To be considered for a “public land” antlerless deer hunting license, an individual needs to make application from July 1 through August 1 for the DMU in which they wish to hunt that has public land licenses available.

	DMU Preservation Groups
		Many preserved railways use their DMUs simply as a cheap and convenient train, just as BR did, with no real interest in them.
		Many other preserved DMUs are looked after by internal Diesel or DMU groups, often owned privately by these groups or by individuals.
		DMU Group (West Midlands) has five Class 108 vehicles on the Severn Valley Railway.

	The Michigan Sportsman Forums - Antlerless DMU question
		The DNR expanded DMUs to county units in the northern Lower Peninsula, with the exception of some smaller, quality DMUs with special buck harvest regulations.
		The UP was divided into 13 larger DMUs (and four smaller quality deer management units) because so few people hunt there that smaller management units aren't practical (only about 15 percent of the state's 722,000 deer hunters are in the UP).
		That was because the state had much more control over hunter access to the vast areas of public land in the northern parts of the state (southern Michigan is more than 95 percent private land), and the DNR used that control in an effort to micro-manage the herd.

		DMUs are designated areas of similar land use bounded by major roads or rivers.
		Some DMUs are so overpopulated that additional hunting seasons, call Zone T hunts, are necessary to bring the population down to a healthier level.
		Relates to shooting period for landowners in Intensive Harvest Zone or hunting season for the rest of state, in which deer was shot and tissue samples were collected.

		Zone T units are DMUs where it is projected that the traditional deer season framework would not reduce the deer population to within 20 percent of that unit’s over-winter population goal.
		In deer management units (DMU) in northern Oconto and Marinette counties (41, 44, 45, 49A&B and 50) which as a rule have lots of public land and heavy hunting pressure, deer populations remain at or near prescribed goals.
		The remaining 18 DMUs in the Northeast region are in Zone T season framework, with 15 of these units having the additional "Earn-A-Buck" requirement for the fall of 2004.

	Railcar50 - a celebration of 50 years of first generation DMUs
		The Scottish Region's first DMUs were Inter-City sets for their premier line, from Glasgow - Edinburgh, and introduced in 1957.
		When these vehicles were scheduled for withdrawal a group of enthusiasts set up the 'Swindon Preservation Group', which was significant as it was the first DMU group to be established with the aim of preserving a set.
		This was also significant as they were the first DMU vehicles to be preserved on historical merit - all earlier ones were bought as cheap and convenient, and often disposable, vehicles for low season use.

	Light Rail Terminology
		DMU is a relatively recent evolution of the old term 'MU'.
		The old term was exclusively used for self-propelled electric cars that could run in trains of two or more cars with just one motorman.
		After the evolution, DMU and EMU were used to refer respectively to diesel or electric cars.

	Railway Age: The DMUs are coming—finally
		Two more DMU projects--a new light rail-type system in California and a commuter rail add-on service in Florida--will soon follow.
		While DMUs are not new to the North American passenger rail market (rebuilt, updated examples of the Budd Company's RDC, introduced in the early 1950s, are in revenue service at several locations), modern DMU technology has been slow to gain acceptance in North America.
		Other DMU designs have been proposed but prototypes were never built--one based upon Bombardier's electric mutiple-unit for Montreal's Deux Montages commuter rail fine, and Sumitomo's version of its EMU operating on the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District.
