The computer program WPACKING was validated using bin data for three different bin conditions: 1) a smooth-walled bin filled with wheat, 2) a corrugated-walled bin filled with wheat, and 3) a corrugated-walled bin filled with corn. WPACKING is a computer program which utilizes the differential form of Janssen’s equation to predict the pressures and amount of material stored in a bin. The differ...

We study a variety of NP-hard bin packing problems under a divisibility constraint that generalizes the often encountered situation in which all item sizes are powers of 2. For ordinary one-dimensional bin packing, we show that First Fit Decreasing produces optimal packings under this restriction, and that if in addition the largest item size divides the bin capacity, then even the less powerfu...

Page-coloring and bin-hopping are two well-known page mapping schemes for reducing cache connicts. Previous work found bin-hopping to have 4% less cache miss rate than page-coloring on uniprocessor machines. Using execution-driven simulations, we nd that bin-hopping signiicantly outperforms simplistic page-coloring on CC-NUMA multipro-cessors. In certain cases, bin-hopping has 32% to 58% less e...

We introduce a constraint for one-dimensional bin packing. This constraint uses propagation rules incorporating knapsack-based reasoning, as well as a lower bound on the number of bins needed. We show that this constraint can significantly reduce search on bin packing problems. We also demonstrate that when coupled with a standard bin packing search strategy, our constraint can be a competitive...

A new method for measuring the quantities influenced by bin-to-bin and inside bin correlations is presented. This method is essential for large multiplicity and/or high density of particles in phase space. The method was applied to the two particle correlation functions of e + e − →W + W − events.

The 2297 strain of Bacillus sphaericus produces a crystal of the Bin (binary) toxin that is approximately fourfold larger than that of strain 2362, the strain currently used in VectoLex, a commercial mosquito larvicide. Comparison of the regions downstream from the bin operon in these two strains showed that strain 2362 contained a 1.6-kb region with four orf genes not found in strain 2297. Ins...
