PACKER is an algorithm for switchbox routing, based on a novel approach. In an initial phase, the connectivity of each net is established without taking the other nets into account. In general this will give rise to conflicts (short circuits). In the second stage the conflicts are removed iteratively using connectivity p e e ing local tmnsformations. They ”reshape” a net by displacing one of it...

An analytical model is developed to explain the increasing tendency of pork packers to produce their own hogs, based on Grossman and Hart’s property rights theory of the firm. Packer upstream integration is linked to the need to align packer-producer investment incentives in an environment marked by increasing hog buyer consolidation, changing consumer demands, moves toward traceability in the ...

A 45-year-old male, body packer, who confessed to have swallowed 44 packages of cocaine in a total dose of approx. 360 g, was admitted to hospital because of clinical signs of acute intoxication with cocaine followed by ileus. The emergency surgical gastrotomy was initiated, and the conglomerate of Scotch tape and packages with cocaine were removed. Small rupture of one package of cocaine in a ...

In the paper stability losses of packer with a girdle construction have been investigated by taking into account compactness mechanism. Expanding and constricting cases conical surface studied, problem has solved via numerical estimation using finite differences method. With this purpose, continuity condition deformation written for (cylindrical packer) added to condition. first approach soluti...

A variety of established and experimental geophysical techniques was used to measure the vertical distribution of fracture permeability in a 229-meter deep borehole penetrating schist and quartz monzonite near Mirror Lake, New Hampshire. The distribution of fractures in the borehole was determined by acoustic borehole televiewer and other geophysical logs. Fracture permeability was estimated by...
