This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm for three dimensional bin packing with heterogeneous bins using Hadoop Map-Reduce framework. The most common three dimensional bin packing problem which packs given set of boxes into minimum number of equal sized bins is proven to be NP Hard. The variation of three dimensional bin packing problem that allows heterogeneous bin sizes and rotation o...

We consider a sequential version of the classical bin packing problem in which items are received one by one. Before the size of the next item is revealed, the decision maker needs to decide whether the next item is packed in the currently open bin or the bin is closed and a new bin is opened. If the new item doesn’t fit, it is lost. If a bin is closed, the remaining free space in the bin accou...

improper transportation of agricultural materials causes mechanical damage to them. the damage isdepended to the physical and mechanical properties of the product and properties of the appliedforce. vibration generated by vehicles during road transportation causes shake the product, contactit with carrier bin and other components, tissues deformation and damage to product. this researchwas cond...

abstract While previous studies on buy-it-now (BIN) auctions focus on the impact of BIN format on economic performances, our study focuses on factors that affect the level of use of BIN auctions by sellers. We propose a conceptual model where culture and product categories are two important factors on the level of use of BIN auctions. Our empirical investigation shows that the level of use of B...

This paper studies auctions with a temporary Buy-It-Now (BIN) price using a two-stage model. In the first stage, a group of bidders (early bidders) are offered a ”Buy-It-Now” (BIN) option to purchase the item immediately at a listed price (BIN price). If no early bidder accepts the BIN price, the BIN option disappears and the second stage starts with an additional group of bidders (late bidders...

Type 2 diabetes (2DM), obesity, and coronary artery disease (CAD) are frequently coexisted being as key components of metabolic syndrome. Whether there is shared genetic background underlying these diseases remained unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of 35 genome screens for 2DM, 36 for obesity or body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity, and 21 for CAD using genome search meta-analysis (GSMA),...
