In many applications of packing, the location of small items below large items, inside the packed boxes, is forbidden. We consider a variant of the classic online one dimensional bin packing, in which items allocated to each bin are packed there in the order of arrival, satisfying the condition above. This variant is called online bin packing problem with LIB (Larger Item in the Bottom) constra...

I . Investigations have been carried out in experimentally-malnourished rats in an attempt to explain the reasons for the development of the two main forms of protein-energy malnutrition in children, kwashiorkor and marasmus. 2. Isoenergetic diets with values for protein:energy (P:E) of 0.21 (control diet; C) 0.032 (low-protein diet; LP) and 0.005 (very-low-protein diet; VLP) were fed to groups...

Development of gilts that conceive early and continue to produce offspring is an objective of swine production. We investigated different patterns of growth on reproductive development and performance of gilts through the first farrowing. At 13 wk of age and 43 kg BW, 286 white crossbred gilts were penned individually and assigned to treatments: Ad lib, ad libitum intake from 13 to 25 wk of age...

Abstract Graphene-based 2D nanomaterials are gaining much interest in energy storage systems, specifically ultracapacitors. Various electrolytes increase the performance of ultracapacitor (UC), Li-Ion capacitor (LIC), and battery (LIB). In present work, we have successfully designed a "three-in-one" artificial method to engineer anode from single precursor for high-performance UC, LIC, LIB. inv...

Li-ion battery, separator, multicoreshell structure, thermal stability, long-term stability. A nanofibrous membrane with multiple cores of polyimide (PI) in the shell of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) was prepared using a facile one-pot electrospinning technique with a single nozzle. Unique multicore-shell (MCS) structure of the electrospun composite fibers was obtained, which resulted from ele...
