nonlinear knapsack problems (nkp) are the alternative formulation for the multiple-choice knapsack problems. a powerful approach for solving nkp is dynamic programming which may obtain the global op-timal solution even in the case of discrete solution space for these problems. despite the power of this solu-tion approach, it computationally performs very slowly when the solution space of the pr...

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...

The threshold requirement for surrogate motherhood entails that a commissioning parent or parents must be permanently unable to give birth to a child. The question of whether a commissioning mother who suffers from a permanent illness that does not cause infertility as such, but that renders pregnancy a significant health risk to such mother and/or to her prospective child in utero, has arisen ...

BACKGROUND There has been little interest in the research literature on public opinions regarding assisted conception and surrogacy, particularly in European countries, despite the growing evidence showing that problems in adaptation and coping may be related to perceived normative values. This study investigated British women's attitudes to surrogacy using components of the theory of planned b...

This paper presents the demo version of FIVE (Framework for an Integrated Voice Environment). Main characteristics, some implementation details and a demonstrate plan are considered.

Gestational surrogacy – carrying someone else’s baby (or babies) to term and giving birth them is perhaps one of the most intimate acts a human being can perform for others. However, proliferation commercial has drawn concern criticism, with many scholars arguing that it both creates exacerbates global social economic inequalities. Commercial thus raises possibility connection specter reproduct...

conclusions according to the findings of this study, it is essential that health professionals and officials of the ministry of health train mothers about the time, trends, and factors affecting the start of puberty using a multi-dimensional approach that involves religious organizations, community groups, and peer groups. data sources this meta-analysis study was based on english articles publ...
