In this paper, we study the 3D strip packing problem in which we are given a list of 3dimensional boxes and required to pack all of them into a 3-dimensional strip with length 1 and width 1 and unlimited height to minimize the height used. Our results are below: i) we give an approximation algorithm with asymptotic worst-case ratio 1.69103, which improves the previous best bound of 2 + ǫ by Jan...

k-visina nekog n-simpleksa siječe njegovu k-stranicu i njoj nasuprotnu stranicu okomito. Tetraedar T ima četiri “vřsne visine” (k = 0) i tri “bridne visine” (k = 1). Visine oba tipa izvodnice su posebnih hiperboloida povezanih s tetraedrom T . Članak obrad-uje te hiperboloide na način nacrtne geometrije i daje sintetičke dokaze nekih dobro poznatih svojstava. Pokazuje se, na primjer, da ako se ...

As a primary energy source for ruminants, volatile fatty acids (VFA) have been estimated to provide up to 75% of the total metabolizable energy (Bergman, 1990). Thus, it is not surprising that diets promoting fermentation and greater production of VFA also promote greater levels of productivity (e.g. milk production) than less fermentable diets (Kolver and de Veth, 2002; Oba and Allen, 2003a,b)...

Introduction Online formative assessments (OFA's) have been increasingly recognised in medical education as resources that promote self-directed learning. Formative assessments are used to support the self-directed learning of students. Online formative assessments have been identified to be less time consuming with automated feedback. This pilot study aimed to determine whether participation a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE As people increasingly engage in online health-seeking behavior and contribute to health-oriented websites, the volume of medical text authored by patients and other medical novices grows rapidly. However, we lack an effective method for automatically identifying medical terms in patient-authored text (PAT). We demonstrate that crowdsourcing PAT medical term identificat...

Korišćenje vegetacionih indeksa za praćenje vegetacije, radi provere funkcionalnosti Sentinel-1 snimaka na ovoj oblasti. U radu su kreirani vegetacioni indeksi i Sentinel-2 kolekciju detekciju fenofaza osnovu njih je odrađena klasifikacija kako bi uporedili rad oba satelita području praćenja vegetacije uz oslonac program Google Earth Engine.

BACKGROUND Current assessments on Output-Based Aid (OBA) programs have paid limited attention to the experiences and perceptions of the healthcare providers and facility managers. This study examines the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of healthcare providers and facility managers in the Kenya reproductive health output-based approach voucher program. METHODS A total of 69 in-depth inte...
