In this paper, the effects of two different Particle Size Distributions (PSD) on packingbehavior of ideal rigid spherical nanoparticles using a novel packing model based on parallelalgorithms have been reported. A mersenne twister algorithm was used to generate pseudorandomnumbers for the particles initial coordinates. Also, for this purpose a nanosized tetragonal confinedcontainer with a squar...

We propose a new shape-based modeling technique for applications in imaging problems. Given a collection of shape priors (a shape dictionary), we define our problem as choosing the right dictionary elements and geometrically composing them through basic set operations to characterize desired regions in an image. This is a combinatorial problem solving which requires an exhaustive search among a...

In textile industry, marker planning is one of the main operations in the cutting fabric stage. Marker packing is usually used to maximize cloth exploitation and minimize its waste. In this research, a method is used based on new found meta-heuristic imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and Bottom-Left-Fill Algorithm (BLF) to achieve optimal marker packing. Function of the proposed method wa...

This research is concentrates on a very interesting work, the bin packing using hybrid genetic approach. The optimal and feasible packing of goods for transportation and distribution to various locations by satisfying the practical constraints are the key points in this project work. As the number of boxes for packing can not be predicted in advance and the boxes may not be of same category alw...

This paper presents an approach for solving a new real problem in Cutting and Packing. At its core is an innovative mixed integer programme model that places irregular pieces and defines guillotine cuts. The two-dimensional irregular shape bin packing problem with guillotine constraints arises in the glass cutting industry, for example, the cutting of glass for conservatories. Almost all cuttin...

Flow within thick liquid films present owing to capillary effects in the pore space is of key importance in many multiphase flow applications in porous media, for example, drying or oil recovery processes. The viscous resistance to the flow is a key parameter for modelling fluid transport in such situations. It is well known for liquid films wetting the corners of tubes of polygonal cross-secti...

Let T be a tile made up of finitely many rectangles whose corners have rational coordinates and whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a square to be tilable by finitely many Qweighted tiles with the same shape as T , and necessary and sufficient conditions for a square to be tilable by finitely many Z-weighted tiles with the sa...

We explore the effect of shape – jagged vs. regular – in the jamming limit of very gently shaken packings. Our measure of shape ε is the void space occupied by a disordered grain; we show that depending on its number-theoretic nature, two generic behaviours are obtained. Thus, regularly shaped grains (rational ε) have ground states of perfect packing, which are irretrievably lost under zero-tem...
