This paper considers the three-dimensional container packing problem (3DCPP) under home delivery service, which predetermines an ordering of delivering ordered cargo boxes to customers, and aims to load a subset of those boxes according to the delivery ordering into a 3D car container with maximal utilization ratio of the container space while prohibiting the process of delivering cargos to eac...

You are a contestant on a game show. There are three closed doors leading to three rooms. Two of the rooms contain nothing, but the third contains a luxury automobile which is yours if you pick the right door. You are asked to pick a door by the MC who knows which room contains the car. After you pick a door, the MC opens a door (not the one you picked) to show an empty room. Show that, even wi...

A room is a simple polygon with a prespecified point, called the door, on its boundary. Search may be conducted by two guards on the boundary who keep mutual visibility at all times, or by a single boundary searcher with a flashlight. Search starts at the door, and must detect any intruder that was in the room at the time the search started, preventing the intruder from escaping through the doo...

The limitations of mathematical logic either as a tool for the foundations of mathematics, or as a branch of mathematics, or as a tool for artificial intelligence, raise the need for a rethinking of logic. In particular, they raise the need for a reconsideration of the many doors the Founding Fathers of mathematical logic have closed historically. This paper examines three such doors, the view ...

So, should the doors be closed? Yes, the building is designed to work with the doors closed. Are the closed doors really an inconvenience for those working in the laboratory? They may think they are, but considering ...

Community-based interventions have greater relevance and a greater chance of success and sustainability when the community is collaboratively involved in the research process. Opening Doors: Project Adventure is a research project designed to evaluate the impact of community-based inclusive recreation, using supportive mentoring, on children and youth with disabilities and special health care n...

The articles in this supplement to Pediatrics raise serious questions about the current policies and practices that affect children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) from traditionally underserved communities and are a call to action at a time when the United States is experiencing both unprecedented demographic shifts and a serious economic downturn. Although CYSHCN from unders...

To improve the existing mechanism for opening the car-door of a mobile shop vehicle, we first apply the contradiction matrix and the idealized design technique of the Theory of the Solution of Inventive Problems (TRIZ) as a reference to ameliorate an automatic car-door opening (closing) system, and find a scheme matching requirements in design. Next, a motor gear transmission system is designed...
