A theoretical and experimental study of fast lower bounds for the two-dimensional bin packing problem
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Article)
We address the two-dimensional bin packing problem with fixed orientation. This problem requires packing a set of small rectangular items into a minimum number of standard two-dimensional bins. It is a notoriously intractable ...
Towards achieving nanofinish on silicon (Si) wafer by ?-wire electro-discharge machining
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the use of nanopowder-mixed dielectric oil and temporary metallic coating on highly doped Si sample to achieve nanometric surface roughness using ?-WEDM operation. To achieve this, two different ...
