A special class of the knapsack problem is called the separable nonlinear knapsack problem. This problem has received considerable attention recently because of its numerous applications. Dynamic programming is one of the basic approaches for solving this problem. Unfortunately, the size of state-pace will dramatically increase and cause the dimensionality problem. In this paper, an efficient a...

Abstract Purpose: Many non-pharmaceutical methods have been proposed for the treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain (NCLBP), including Online Exercise at Home (OEH), Hydrotherapy, and Physiotherapy approaches that have shown significant effects. Nevertheless, there are ambiguities in choosing the best option. Therefore, the present study was designed to compare these methods. Methods...

Background: In order to deliver the precise dose to the target in radiotherapy, absorbed dose to water at the reference point should be assessed. When the calibration procedure is performed for a reference dosimeter in the 60Co beam of a Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL), the total uncertainty in absorbed dose to water (Dw) is estimated to be approximately 1.5%. This study attempts...

We consider the task of transmitting a data stream in the sliding window model, where communication takes place over an adversarial noisy channel with noise rate up to 1. For any noise level c < 1 we design an efficient encoding scheme, such that for any window in which the noise level does not exceed c, the receiving end decodes at least a (1−c−ε)-prefix of the window, for any small ε > 0. Dec...
