In the load balancing (or job scheduling) problem, introduced by Graham in the 1960s (SIAM J. of Appl. Math. 1966, 1969), jobs arriving online have to be assigned to machines so to minimize an objective defined on machine loads. A long line of work has addressed this problem for both the makespan norm and arbitrary lq-norms of machine loads. Recent literature (e.g., Azar et al., STOC 2013; Im e...

Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has proven to financially outperform rotation (RF) with low or even moderate social price of carbon in mineral soils. However, date there are no studies compare financial performance joint production (timber and sequestration) between soils peatlands when CCF is applied. A vast variety harvest intervals intensity (expressed as post-harvest basal area) for a matur...

Boreal peatlands are vast carbon (C) stores but also major sources of dissolved organic C (DOC) and nutrients to surface waters. Drainage forest harvesting accelerates DOC leaching. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is considered cause fewer adverse environmental effects. Yet, the effects CCF on processes unrecognised. We study production quality in unharvested, CCF, clear-cut drained peatland fo...

Abstract Background It is essential to identify the chemical components for quality control methods establishment of Chinese Classical Formula (CCF). However, CCF are complex mixture several herbal medicines with huge number different compounds and they not equal combination from each herb due particular formula ratio preparation techniques. Therefore, it time-consuming in a by analyzing LC–MS/...

Construction and demolition activities generate approximately two thirds of the world’s waste, with concrete-based material accounting for largest proportion. Primary aggregates are recovered reused, although cement-rich fine fraction is underutilised. In this study, single metal batch sorption experiments confirmed that crushed concrete fines (CCF) an effective sorbent maximum exclusion 45.2 m...

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the best method of evaluating carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF). DSA, however, has the disadvantage of being an invasive procedure. Computerized tomography (CT) angiography which is noninvasive, have been shown to provide more information about the size and location of fistulas. As a new method, Bone-Subtraction CT Angiography (BSCTA), than conventional C...
