چکیده
L5–S1 disc and that your pain is probably coming from it. A discogram is suggested. You have no pain from discography at L3–4 or at L4–5, and you are told that both of these discs are normal. The discogram at L5–S1 is abnormal in appearance, and it instantly reproduces your pain pattern, making the pain flare up in the same areas that hurt every day. When local anesthetic is injected into the disc, the pain is completely relieved. It’s the first time you have been without pain in over 6 months. After 3 hours the pain returns. The surgeon tells you that, based on strong scientific evidence, removal of the disk will significantly decrease your level of pain, reducing your reliance on pain medication and improving your function from day to day.

An Algorithm Based on Theory of Constraints and Branch and Bound for Solving Integrated Product-Mix-Outsourcing Problem
One of the most important decision making problems in many production systems is identification and determination of products and their quantities according to available resources. This problem is called product-mix. However, in the real-world situations, for existing constrained resources, many companies try to provide some products from external resources to achieve more profits. In this pape...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Constructing the Pareto Front of Bi-objective Optimization Problems
Here, scalarization techniques for multi-objective optimization problems are addressed. A new scalarization approach, called unified Pascoletti-Serafini approach, is utilized and a new algorithm to construct the Pareto front of a given bi-objective optimization problem is formulated. It is shown that we can restrict the parameters of the scalarized problem. The computed efficient points provide...
