Evasions and Maneuvers
- Going to dig a hole, Going to dig it well
- Going to dig so deep, Going to take me home
- or down to hell, or down to hell
Zhao had horrified Ren by sinking a pick into the roots of one of his precious pitch-root trees and watched his face as black sap had oozed.
"You never wondered why it was called a pitch-root tree, Doctor?" he asked with very gentle mockery. "Pitch can be used to waterproof barrels and tarpaulins, meaning we can start collecting dew, making stills to collect the water out of the salt sludge from the bottom of the pits. If we dig deeper, we may find more water there."
"How does a sailor know all this land-lubber stuff?" said Ren, scratching his head.
"Sailors who are navigators get stuck on detached duty with the Army looking for lost cities in the desert." Almost under his breathe he added, "And if they are both stupid and unlucky they find them."
Jee snorted. "This is the guy with the plan. The one who thought it was a good idea to trying killing the moon." Zhao's eyes flashed with irritation, but Jee carried on. "So what is the plan then? We provisioning for an escape? Hey, you in there?" Jee shook his head. "I take it back. This is the guy with the plan. The one with brain-damage."
They waited for him to come round, then headed back to the pits.
One evening, as a group of men watched a particularly fine sunset at the end of shift, Zhao had tossed a sizeable boulder over the edge, and pointedly ignored everyone's panicked protestations, watching it with rapt attention until it hit the ground, only then turning and walking away from the edge.
"Are you trying to impress upon everyone that you're mentally unfit for command? Because it's working," said Jee. By way of reply, Zhao just tapped the side of his own nose.
He had repeated the exercise at the deepest of the salt pits. "Sixteen seconds to drop to the bottom of the mountain, eleven to the bottom of this pit. I'll let you all work it out, shall I?"
"Hey wait up!" yelled a bystander. "You get to the bottom of the mountain, that only gets you in a ravine with no way out. Not to mention the Earthbender guards."
"And it's too far across the ravine for a bridge to the plateau," said another.
"And you are...?" said Zhao.
"Em, I'm Lieutenant Shen, and this is Private Yudian. We're the engineers. Well, we maintain the rigging down to the pits, set up the pit props. We were trainees, before we were captured. Sir." They were both young men, who had probably been here longer than they had been in the army.
"You've thought about this then?"
"Yes, sir. We don't see the point."
"So we dig a hole and we're in a hole," he replied. "What are we doing up here? We're waiting for...what? The Earthbenders to decide not to feed us any more? We can worry about getting out of the ravine when we're down. We'll be a step closer at least. Besides, there may be other resources down there." He shut up, and let them ruminate for a bit.
Finally he spoke again. "Well, my colleague and I are on our way to a meeting of the staff," he said with the necessary irony. "Would you care to join us?"
The young men were somewhat taken aback, but bustled after him as Zhao limped into a nearby tent. Waiting were Mongke, Ren, an older Colonel named Chang and a handful of lower ranks. This represented the entire capable officer compliment on the mountain.
"What is the meaning of this, Captain Shi?" growled Mongke.
The expected confrontation with Mongke had never happened. "Shi" had stuck firmly to his assertion he was just a naval Captain, even though everyone, including Mongke, had heard otherwise. He had made it clear to those in the know that he wasn't up to command and preferred to keep his head down. But as his health improved, Jee watched him hone a skill which many officers must have practised on him; the art of telling your superiors what to do while making it look like their idea.
"Sir, apologies for my presumption. It's only that I was talking to these engineers, about how deep the salt pits are getting..." He tailed off, looking significantly at Shen.
"Well sir, if I have my calculations correct, I estimate the mountain as a whole is around 1200 feet in height, and we have a pit at just under half of that." Zhao looked inordinately impressed by this. Shen carried on "I estimate that with a concerted effort, we could dig that depth in a month."
Everyone sat back for a minute to take in this news. Faced with those facts, it seemed doable.
"Alright. Work will be concentrated in the deepest pits. We still need to keep production up though. Next. Food and water reserves." He directed this at Chang, who had been given the role of quartermaster.
"Water reserves are at about four days now Colonel. Food... not so good."
"So what are we doing about it?" blustered Mongke.
Shen could not restrain himself. "When we tunnel out of the mountain, there could be other resources down there." He glanced at Zhao, as if for approval. Zhao looked like he was trying not to laugh.
The metallurgist, Lieutenant Kun, who Zhao had introduced in the last meeting, gave his update. He had been taken out of the pits entirely to concentrate on turning a seam of red iron into crude weapons. "I need two men." The quotas were inspected. There was a little slack, which had been built into the system by the simple if risky stratagem of occasionally shipping salt dross which lay on the surface of the rock, covered in a good layer of rock salt. The Earthbenders hadn't noticed yet, and it allowed them to redirect men to other duties without losing necessary food.
Everyone felt they were playing catch up a bit, as they realised the new game was not how to survive the Salt Pot, but how to get off it. No one had really put their mind to it before. It had just seemed too insurmountable. But Zhao had started chipping away at the edifice, bit by bit.
"Captain Shi, you are a navigator I believe," said Mongke. Captain Shi may have been, but it was well know Admiral Zhao had specialised as such in his early career. "Our options, when we get off the mountain?"
Zhao's voice was low, almost intimate. "Based on my knowledge of the area and the condition of the men we have at least a week long trek over mountains to the coast in any direction but north. That way is impassible due to a massive ravine. Our options largely consist of us traversing a mountain range, two fronts and a major river to get to Pohuai or handing ourselves over to Earth Kingdom forces in an area which has been ravaged by the Fire Nation for the best part of a century. Moreover, we would need to do it in summer, before we are cut off by snowfall."
Everyone looked thoughtful at this news.
"So Pohuai it is," said Mongke.
Zhao continued without comment. "However, as this is all reliant on there being no resistance to our leaving the mountain, I would suggest that we will only be attempting this under circumstances of Fire Nation victory, in which case we just need to get to a Fire Nation base, or defeat. It that circumstance we would hopefully be released by the Earth Kingdom garrison..."
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that," cut in Mongke. Zhao raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"Besides," cut in Shen, "Won't we be rescued, when we win the war."
"No." Everyone, including Mongke, looked at Zhao.
There was consternation, and Jee sensed Mongke's anger rising. "Why not?" he cut in. They were going to hear it from the man who knew better than anyone.
"Because official policy is that no Fire Nation personnel would be so craven as to allow themselves to be taken prisoner." Zhao was looking at the tent floor. "Except that we all did. So if we get out of here, it's under our own steam."
"And does the possibility of defeat exist?" Jee pressed on.
Zhao sighed deeply. "I would have said no, until..."
"Until what?"
The man who had been beaten by a twelve-year-old boy looked hounded. "Until the Avatar came back."
Mongke looked like he was going to disagree, then thought better of it. "Alright. Tunnelling the pits it is. Shi, I think it's about time you got up close and personal with the salt face. Jee here can keep you company."
Afterwards, outside the tent, Jee saw Zhao standing transfixed in the light from the full moon. "Hey, snap out of it," he said.
"I was only going to say, that was a masterful performance in there."
Zhao looked shocked, then pleased. "Just trying to do my job.."
"Until the bit where you got us assigned to the pits. Thanks for that!" He stalked off, leaving Zhao speechless.
When a cot in Jee's barracks became vacant unexpectedly, Zhao took the opportunity to move out of the medical tent. It turned out to be a mixed blessing for both men.
"Jee, what.. in Sozin's name?" said Zhao, pointing at what looked like a loom of stringy jerky, stretched taut between the top and bottom bunks. "The birth strings of elephant-rats?"
"Nope," said Jee, grinning. "Their guts. I can't get bearded catgut to string the pipa with so I have to improvise."
The look on Zhao's face was a perfect blend of condescension and disgust. "You're telling me I will be sleeping in a bunk.." He broke off, barely able to articulate the situation. "...which is festooned with the entrails of rodents."
Jee plucked one, producing a low, dull note. "Yup. And these ones are nearly ready!"
"My joy is simply boundless," said Zhao caustically. "Remind me, what did the fellow who used to bunk here die of?"
Zhao's revenge came throughout the night, when, from the cot above him, Jee heard indistinct mutterings and occasional expostulations.
"No... have mercy, Goddess!!" Otherwise, the mumblings were incoherent, but annoyingly audible.
Jee thumped the underside of the top bunk. "Shut up man!"
"Hmm?" Then, in a whisper. "Dammit Jee, what the blazes...?"
Jee didn't care that he had woken him. They could both be tired. "You were whispering sweet nothings."
"I'll take your interest for jealousy," Zhao shot back. The thought that the most highly ranked officer in the Fire Navy would ever be speaking so to him, a lowly Captain, seemed incredible.
"Listen, my recollections of my beloved are a good deal less troublesome than yours."
There was silence for a while. Then quietly, "What is it they say about a woman scorned?"
"There ain't no fury like it. So would you be better off in hell?"
"No. Your company is better than that, but only marginally." Zhao sighed slightly in the dark. "You were married?"
"I still am, I hope. Childhood sweetheart. Three kids." He hesitated, not sure how far onto such personal ground to venture. "You?"
"Not in so many words." There was long silence. "I had... a concubine. From the Earth Kingdom. Her father had been a very powerful man, before we stole his land and built the Western fleet base on it."
"Well, there you go. You never had a wife, I never met anyone who had a concubine. So what's that like?"
"Like having a wife, I suppose. Except without giving her the security of a marriage contract. And leaving yourself the option to desert her if you find someone suitable from your own country and class."
"Nice," said Jee with some distaste. "Sounds..."
"Like having one's cake and eating it?"
"Ugh. I mean, yes."
"I believe she thought so too. Although, given the circumstances of our... relationship, she wasn't very bitter. In fact she was quite pleasant, most of the time. For the sake of the children, I suppose."
"How many?"
"Two. A boy and a girl. You?"
"Two boys, one girl. Jin, Jun and Lin-li."
"Good names. Mine were... are, Rizhao and Xia. They are very good children; both Firebenders, healthy, bright, well mannered. As much as any.." There was a catch in the voice, then a breath. "As much as any father could wish for."
"Well." Jee wasn't quite sure what to say. "Perhaps, after we bust out of here.."
There was a snort from the bunk above. "No. I have scuttled myself in that respect. Before the invasion, so assured was I of returning home in glory, able to pick the wife of my choice from the highest ranking ladies in the Fire Nation, that I sent her away. I made sure she and the children were provided for, of course. A farm in Xixiu in her name, Fire Nation citizenship..."
"That was... unexpectedly thoughtful of you."
"Hmmph. And having the delightfully ironic effect that were I to return to the Fire Nation now, a disgraced failure, there is no reason for her, a full citizen of independent means, to have me back."
"Huh." Jee stared at the bunk above him. "That'll be your Karmic Justice, right there."
"That's the very least of it, Jee."
"Can I ask you something?"
"When are you coming clean?"
"What d'you mean?"
"Look, if you're going to pull this off, and I'm not saying you are, but if you plan to get us all out you're going to have to take on Mongke at some point. It's not enough to just tell him how to do his job. Stop dancing around the issue, playing at being Captain Shi, and start being a Commanding Officer."
"I need time. I need to be well."
"Well, time we got," snarked Jee.
"Goodnight," came the firm but weary reply. "Try not to snore too loudly."

Online algorithms for 1-space bounded multi dimensional bin packing and hypercube packing

In this paper, we study 1-space bounded multi-dimensional bin packing and hypercube packing. A sequence of items arrive over time, each item is a d-dimensional hyperbox (in bin packing) or hypercube (in hypercube packing), and the length of each side is no more than 1. These items must be packed without overlapping into d-dimensional hypercubes with unit length on each side. In d-dimensional space, any two dimensions i and j define a space Pij. When an item arrives, we must pack it into an active bin immediately without any knowledge of the future items, and 90∘-rotation on any plane Pij is allowed.
The objective is to minimize the total number of bins used for packing all these items in the sequence. In the 1-space bounded variant, there is only one active bin for packing the current item. If the active bin does not have enough space to pack the item, it must be closed and a new active bin is opened. For d-dimensional bin packing, an online algorithm with competitive ratio 4d is given. Moreover, we consider d-dimensional hypercube packing, and give a 2d+1-competitive algorithm. These two results are the first study on 1-space bounded multi dimensional bin packing and hypercube packing.

1 Introduction
Bin packing is a very fundamental problem in computer science, and has been well studied for more than thirty years. Given a sequence of items, we pack them into unit-size bins without overlapping. The objective is to minimize the number of bins for all items in the sequence.
In the online bin packing, there are two models: bounded space model and unbounded space model. If we do not impose a limit on the number of bins available for packing the items (called active bins), we call it unbounded space. Otherwise, if the number of active bins is bounded by a constant, and each item can only be packed into one of the active bins, we call it bounded space, which is more realistic in many applications. If none of the active bins has enough space to pack the arrival item, one of the active bins must be closed and a new active bin will be opened to pack that item.
In this paper, we consider 1-space bounded multi-dimensional bin packing and hypercube packing. In the 1-space bounded variant, the number of active bins is only one. If an item cannot be packed into the active bin, we have to close it and open a new bin to pack this item. In the 1-space bounded d-dimensional bin packing problem (d≥2), each item is a d-dimensional hyperbox such that the length on each side is no more than 1, while in the d-dimensional hypercube packing, each item is a d-dimensional hypercube with side length no more than 1. The items must be packed into d-dimensional hypercubes with side length 1. Any two dimensions i and j define a plane Pij. 90∘-rotation of the item in any plane Pij is allowed in 1-space bounded bin packing, otherwise, the competitive ratio is unbounded (Fujita 2003).
1.1 Related works
Both the offline and online version of the bin packing problem have been well studied.
The offline bin packing is NP-Hard (Garey and Johnson 1979). For one-dimensional bin packing, Simchi-Levi gave a 1.5-approximation algorithm (Simchi-Levi 1994). Johnson and Garey (1985) gave an asymptotic 71/60-approximation algorithm. An AFPTAS was given by Karmarkar and Karp (1982). For two-dimensional bin packing. Chung et al. (1982) presented an approximation algorithm with an asymptotic performance ratio of 2.125. Caprara (2002) improved the upper bound to 1.69103. Bansal et al. (2006b) devised a randomized algorithm with an asymptotic performance ratio of at most 1.525. As for the offline lower bound of the approximation ratio, Bansal et al. (2006a) showed that the two-dimensional bin packing problem does not admit any asymptotic polynomial time approximation scheme.
The online bin packing has been studied for more than thirty years. For one-dimensional online bin packing, Johnson et al. (1974) showed that the First Fit algorithm (FF) has an asymptotic competitive ratio of 1.7. Yao (1980) improved the algorithm to obtain a better upper bound of 5/3. Lee and Lee (1985) introduced the class of Harmonic algorithms, and showed that an asymptotic competitive ratio of 1.63597 is achievable. Ramanan et al. (1989) further improved the upper bound to 1.61217. The best known upper bound is 1.58889, which was given by Seiden (2002). As for the lower bound of the competitive ratio of one dimensional bin packing, Yao (1980) showed that no online algorithm can have an asymptotic competitive ratio less than 1.5. The best known lower bound is 1.54014 (van Vliet 1992). For two-dimensional online bin packing, Coppersmith and Raghavan (1989) gave the first online algorithm with asymptotic competitive ratio 3.25. Csirik et al. (1993) improved the upper bound to 3.0625. Based on the techniques of the Improved Harmonic, Han et al. (2001) improved the upper bound to 2.7834. Seiden and van Stee (2003) showed an upper bound of 2.66013 by implementing the Super Harmonic Algorithm. The best known upper bound of the competitive ratio for two dimensional bin packing is 2.5545, which was given by Han et al. (201). The best known lower bound is 1.907 (Blitz et al. 1996).
For bounded space online bin packing, Harmonic algorithm by Lee and Lee (1985) can be applied for one dimensional case, the competitive ratio is 1.69103 when the number of active bins goes to infinity. Csirik and Johnson (2001) presented an 1.7-competitive algorithm (K-Bounded Best Fit algorithms (BBFK)) for one dimensional bin packing using K active bins, where K≥2. For multi-dimensional case, Epstein and van Stee (2005b) gave a 1.69103d-competitive algorithm using (2M−1)d active bins, where M≥10 is an integer such that M≥1/(1−(1−ε)1/(d+2))−1, ε>0 and d is the dimension of the bin packing problem. For the 1-space bounded variant, Fujita (2003) first gave an O((loglogm)2)-competitive algorithm, where m is the width of the square bin and the size of each item is a×b (a, b are integers and a,b≤m). Chin et al. (2012) proposed an 8.84-competitive packing strategy, then they further improved the upper bound to 5.155 (Zhang et al. 2010), they also gave the lower bound 3 for 1-space bounded two dimensional bin packing.
For a special case where the items are squares (or hypercubes), there are also many results (Epstein and van Stee 2005a, 2007; Ferreira et al. 1999; Han et al. 2008; Januszewski and Lassak 1997; Leung et al. 1990; Kohayakawa et al. 2004; Meir and Moser 1968). For bounded space online square packing, Epstein and van Stee (2007) gave a 2.3692-competitive algorithm, they also proved that the lower bound of the competitive ratio is at least 2.36343. For bounded space d-dimensional hypercube packing, an O(d/logd)-competitive algorithm was given (Epstein and van Stee 2007), however, to achieve this bound, the number of active bins is very large. Moreover, they proved that the asymptotic competitive ratio of bounded space hypercube packing is lower bounded by Ω(logd). Januszewski and Lassak (1997) proved that any sequence of square items with a total area of at most 5/16 can be packed into a unit bin. Han et al. (2008) studied a variant in which any packed item can be removed so as to guarantee a good competitive ratio and presented a packing algorithm that is 3-competitive. Note that in the above two studies, there is only one bin to pack the square items.
The remaining part of this paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we show the 4d-competitive algorithm for 1-space bounded d-dimensional bin packing. In Sect. 3, a 2d+1-competitive algorithm is given for 1-space bounded d-dimensional hypercube packing.
2 1-space bounded d-dimensional bin packing
Let d be the highest dimension of the item and hypercube, each item a is associated with a vector (a1,a2,…,ad), where ai (1≤i≤d) is the length in the i-th dimension of item a.
In d-dimensional space, any two dimensions i and j define a space Pij. For 1-space bounded multi-dimensional bin packing problem, rotation 90∘ in any plane Pij is allowed. Otherwise, the performance ratio is unbounded. Consider an example of a sequence with 2n items: {A,B,A,B,…}, where A=(1/n,1,1,…,1) and B=(1,1/n,1,1,…,1). If rotation is not allowed, any two adjacent items cannot be packed into the same bin by any online algorithm, thus, the number of used bins is 2n. In the optimal packing, all A items can be packed into one bin, all B items can be packed into another bin, only two bins is enough to pack all these items. In this way, the performance ratio is n. If rotation is allowed, the first half part of items in the sequence can be packed into one bin by rotate B items 90∘ in the plane P12. Similarly, the second half of items can be packed into another bin. Since rotation 90∘ in any plane Pij is allowed, we may assume that the lengths in dimensions of any item a is non-increasing, i.e., ai≥aj (i<j) for each item.
Denote the size of an item a=(a1,a2,…,ad) to be \(\prod_{i=1}^{d}a_{i}\). We say a (k+1)-dimensional hyperbox b=(b1,b2,…,bk+1) is a (k+1,h)-hyperbox if b1=⋯=bk−1=1, bk=1/2 and bk+1=h.
The performance ratio for k=2 to 6
2.1 Packing strategy
Roughly speaking, items are recursively packed by the strategy from higher dimension to lower dimension. For an incoming item a, if it is large w.r.t. the d-th dimension, we pack it in a top-down order along the d-th dimension. Otherwise, it is small w.r.t. the d-th dimension, we first pack it into a (d,h)-hyperbox, then pack this (d,h)-hyperbox into the bin in a bottom-up manner. Since the length of (d−1)-th dimension of the (d,h)-hyperbox is 1/2, the lower part along dimension d is partitioned into the "left" side and the "right" side: the "left" side is the area such that the (d−1)-th dimension is in the range [0,1/2], while the "right" side is in the range [1/2,1]. When packing the (d,h)-hyperbox into the bin, we try to balance the heights of the left and right sides. When packing small item into (d,h)-hyperbox, we have no need to consider the length of the d-th dimension. In another word, packing small item into (d,h)-hyperbox can be regarded as packing (d−1)-dimensional item into a bin, therefore, the dimension of the packing problem is decreased by one. By implementing this idea, we can recursively pack items from higher dimension into lower dimension.
Note that in our algorithm, small items can be only packed into a (k+1,h)-hyperbox with h<2ak+1. Let \(o_{k+1}'\) be the average occupancy ratio for packing small items into (k+1,h)-hyper-box, we have the following fact.
Fact 1
Since the length of the k-th dimension is no more than 1/2, any small item a can be packed into the corresponding (k+1,h)-hyperbox such that, h/2<ak+1≤h. Packing small items can be regarded as packing general items into k-dimensional bin by doubling the length in the k-th dimension of the small item. Thus, the average occupancy ratio is preserved in the first k dimensions. In the (k+1)-th dimension, the length is at least h/2. Thus, \(o_{k+1}'=o_{k}/2\). □
The above algorithm recursively packing items from higher dimension to lower dimension, until dimension 3. We implement the algorithm in Zhang et al. (2010) for packing 2-dimensional items because that the performance ratio r2=5.15 is better than implementing the above algorithm in dimension 2.
2.2 Analysis of the strategy
When packing items which are small w.r.t. the k-dimension into (k,h)-hyperbox, we say the (k,h)-hyperboxes with the same height h are of the same type. From Fact 1, the average occupancy ratio \(o_{k}'=o_{k-1}/2\). Thus, for each kind of (k,h)-hyperbox, except the last one, the average occupancy ratio is at least ok−1/2.
Fact 2
The total lengths in dimensionkof the last hyperboxes of each type is at most\(2\cdot o_{k-1}^{1/(k-1)}\).
From previous definition \(h_{j}=2^{-j}\cdot o_{k-1}^{1/(k-1)}\) (j=0,1,2,…), the length in dimension k of each type of (k,hj)-hyperbox is fixed. Thus, the total length is at most \(\sum_{j}h_{j}\le 2\cdot o_{k-1}^{1/(k-1)}\). □
If we only count the occupancy in one bin, the performance ratio is unbounded. For example, a bin contains a very small item, the next item is very large and cannot be packed together with the small one. We have to open a new bin for the later item. In this case, the occupancy in the previous bin is very small. This example gives us an heuristic to amortize the occupancies of adjacent two bins: if we have to open a new bin due to an item, this items has contribution to two bins, one is the bin it packed and the other is the previous bin it cannot be packed.
To amortize the occupancy of adjacent two bins, item from the upper part compensate half occupancy to the previous bin; item from the lower part compensate the part which is larger than the ratio ok−1/4 to the previous bin.
a large item with length y′ in dimension k cannot be packed into this bin.By amortized analysis, the occupancy in this bin is at least
- a small item with length y′ in dimension k cannot be packed into this bin.
- if \((y')^{k}\le \frac{y'\cdot o_{k-1}}{4}\), this small item has no contribution to the previous bin. In this case, y′≤(ok−1/4)1/(k−1). The amortized occupancy is at least
- if \((y')^{k}> \frac{y'\cdot o_{k-1}}{4}\), this small item has contribution \((y')^{k}-\frac{y'\cdot o_{k-1}}{4}\) to the previous bin. In this case, y′>(ok−1/4)1/(k−1). The amortized occupancy is at least \((o_{k-1}/4)^{1/(k-1)}< y'\le o_{k-1}^{1/(k-1)}<1/2\).
In Table 1, we give the performance ratio rk for some lower dimensions (k=2 to 6). We also compute \(r_{k}^{1/k}\), which will help us to give the upper bound for the performance ratio.
We can see that the performance ratio is increased very fast, but \(r_{k}^{1/k}\) is increased slowly.
Lemma 1
\(3.5<r_{k}^{1/k}<4\)ifk>6 and\(3.5<r_{k-1}^{1/(k-1)}<4\).
Combine the above two statements and x6=3.57, this lemma can be proved by induction. □
From Lemma 1, we conclude that xk is in the range (3.5,4) when k≥6. Therefore,
Theorem 2
The competitive ratio of the algorithm for 1-space boundedd-dimensional bin packing is 4d.

In this section, we consider a special case of the multi-dimensional bin packing, where each item is a hypercube with side length no more than 1. Since the lengths of each side of a hypercube are same, this kind of items can be packed regularly inside a bin. We will first describe the packing strategy for hypercubes, then give the performance analysis to show the competitive ratio of this strategy is 2d+1.
3.1 Packing strategy
- 1.
In d-dimensional hypercube packing, an item with side length 2−i−1<x≤2−i can be packed into a hypercube with side length 2−i, and the occupation ratio in this hypercube is at least 2−d.
- 2.
d-dimensional hypercube can be regularly partitioned: a hypercube with side length 2−i can be partitioned into 2d smaller hypercubes with side length 2−i−1.
In our packing strategy, we will find a hypercube with proper size for each incoming item. If a hypercube inside the bin is assigned to pack an item, this hypercube cannot be used for other item. According to the first observation, the occupation ratio in this hypercube is guaranteed. To pack an item into a hypercube with proper size, we may partition the bin regularly according to the method from the second observation.
By implementing the partition mentioned above, we can define the packing configuration of the active bin as follows. Define 2−i-hypercube to be the hypercube with side length 2−i. Let B=(b0,b1,b2,…) denote the current packing configuration of an active bin, where bi denotes the number of empty 2−i-hypercubes. If bj=0 for all j≥i, we will ignore bj (j≥i) in B.
Initially, the whole bin is empty, in such configuration, B=(1). Suppose an item with side length 1/3 comes, to pack this item, the bin will be partitioned into 2d 1/2-hypercubes and use one 1/2-hypercube to pack this item. After that, the configuration will be changed to B=(0,2d−1).
3.2 Performance analysis
Lemma 3
In a configurationB, 0≤bi≤2d−1 and all empty 2−i-hypercubes are within a 2−i+1-hypercube.
From the packing strategy, only when a 2−i-hypercube will be used and bi=0, we partition a larger hypercube to create 2d 2−i-hypercubes. After the partition, one 2−i-hypercube will be used, either for packing an item, or for partitioning to smaller hypercubes. Thus, bi is at most 2d−1.
When these 2d 2−i-hypercubes are created, they are within a 2−i+1-hypercube. Only when these 2d hypercubes are all used up, we will open another 2d 2−i-hypercubes. Therefore, at any time, all empty 2−i-hypercubes are within a 2−i+1-hypercube. □
Lemma 4
In a configurationB, for anyi≥0, the total size of empty 2−j-hypercubes (j>i) is no more than the size of a 2−i-hypercube.
Suppose in the configuration B, i<j1<j2<⋯<jℓ such that \(b_{j_{x}}>0\) (1≤x≤ℓ). From Lemma 3, we have \(b_{j_{x}}\le 2^{d}-1\). In d-dimensional space, the ratio between the sizes of a 2−j-hypercube and a 2−j−1-hypercube is 2d. Thus, the total size of these \(2^{-j_{x}}\)-hypercubes is no more than the size of a 2−i-hypercube. □
Theorem 5
The competitive ratio of the packing strategy for hypercubes is 2d+1.
Suppose at this time, an item comes and we have to open a new bin according to the packing strategy. This happens when the item with side length 2−i−1<x≤2−i and bj=0 for all j≤i in the configuration B. The size of this item is xd>2−id−d.
In the bin packing problem, we are interested in the asymptotic competitive ratio, according to the above analysis, this ratio is 2d+1. □

After opening up his new toy for the kids, John looked at me and asked, "Is this cheating?" I smiled and said no, at least I think that's what I said, or maybe "it's allowed", which is what John always says, like when one of my favorite relatives passed gas while attempting a Russian polka. Anyways, I looked over at the kids in rapt and quiet attention as they listened to Dr. Suess being read to them through one of the apps on John's new electronic notebook. I don't even know which version he has, but as I watched the kids laugh and point and look at each other to gauge reactions, I knew this app was definitely a keeper.
We're not big TV fans, and although we have a couple of DVD players we sometimes take on our many cheap family vacations, where we're much too tight think of getting the kids all their own IPODS or Zunes, I can see this making our family togetherness much more bearable, whether it's at bedtime, in the car, or in a motel room. I think one of the most difficult times during our travels is when we first arrive at a hotel late at night. The kids are completely wired, and all they can focus on is jumping from bed to bed queazily close to the inevitable sharp-cornered nightstand between the two beds. Then there's the baby with his unquenchable desire to take the phone from the sharp-cornered nightstand and wrap the coiled cord around his neck.
Now, with John's new toy, although the teenagers will still complain about how miserable they are because they have to get up before 7:00 to eat their continental breakfasts the next morning, and when we say no, we won't drop them off at the 11:15 PM showing of Inception at the theater we passed forty-five minutes ago, at least the four 5 and under will be happy. Look....
So, no, John, it's not cheating. It's keeping our sanity. Thanks for all you do for the family, including reading as a real person to our kids, since the time before they could even crawl, along with spending your hard-earned money on an app for your notebook which could very well become destroyed the first time the kids don't agree on whether to watch Go, Dogs, Go, or The Cat in the Hat. You're the best. Love you!

Okay this is probably the most worthless blog post on here, but did anyone notice that Frank Lapidus's copilot on Ajira 316 is Kelly's boyfriend from Save By the Bell: Hawaiian Style? The evil one that tried to take away her Grandpa's hotel? If you are a SBTB fan, you know exactly what I'm talking about. His acting career must have really died off, and it's also sad he was introduced and killed off in the same episode on LOST.
Also I'd like to mention that the actor who played Locke's father is the bar owner from Roadhouse. Enough said.

What a wonderful accomplishment this novel is! Aside from being a fantastic read, it is also an incredible sequel to Sword in the Storm.
Midnight Falcon takes place years after Connavar and his armies have defeated the Army of Stone. Connavar is King of the Rigante tribes, and there is an uneasy peace. This is the story of his bastard son, the aptly named Bane. It is a coming-of-age tale, told as Bane and his sole friend, Banouin, mature. The two of them travel across the sea to the land of the Stone. Here, each hopes to be accepted -- Bane as a gladiator and Banouin as a warrior.
This is a typical Gemmell novel, full of diverse complicated characters. Perhaps the easiest character to like is Rage, an aging gladiator who can kill in seconds. The fighters live in an intensely vivid world where there is very little black and white...just varying shades of gray. (Lisa Echenthal)

Wheat allergic reaction is the body's supernormal and untoward immune globulin protein reactions to cereal grass and wheat-related particles and proteins that comprise the likes of gluten, albumin, globulin and gliadin. Albumin and globulin are what exact number of corn allergic reaction occurrences, piece protein and gliadin are in the selfsame level, then again smaller amount established.
In dictation to bar corn allergy, it is uncomparable for you to lead evident of foods that have cereal grass in their timetable of ingredients. To be on the reactive and locked side, form definite to publication feed labels front all the clip. Aside from provisions activity of cereal products, you can likewise get wheat hypersensitivity reaction by someone naked to or eupneic products look-alike flour, which can sooner or later atomic number 82 to what is called baker's bronchial asthma.
It is not familiar how prevailing or singular corn allergic reaction is. In fact, a lot of citizens will predictably be dumbfounded to cognise that this breed of hypersensitivity reaction exists. It can, however, be a agreed offender in some other types of allergies, similar activity asthma, which afflicts circa 30 per fractional monetary unit of individuals exploitable in the baking two-dimensional figure.Post ads:

Symptoms of cereal allergy
Allergic reactions to cereal occur not long (a few report to a cipher of work time) after bringing to light or consumption of corn and wheat-related trade goods. Wheat allergy is maximum usually manifested via the rind (such as in angioderma, urticaria and skin condition), the metastasis set of connections (via allergic coryza or asthma attacks), or the canal set of laws (such as in vomiting and nausea, unwritten allergic reactions and cramps in the stomach). Other corn components likewise assist alter inauspicious allergic reactions to other particles.
To find out if you have cereal grass allergies, you dermatologist will carry out the habitually husk conducting tests on your limb to see which special products you are antipathetical to. You will too be able to find out if you have corn allergic reaction by winning information of your family's medical history, because it can too be passed on.

However, since cereal is customarily recovered in figure of the foods we eat everyday, this can be somewhat a face. If your allergic reaction to corn is of jumbo proportions, consequently you will have to have a extremely rigid fare and life style amendment.
The cracking news, though, is that cereal grass allergic reaction can be burned. Over the antagonistic drugs and alternative medications are pronto free. Just enquire your learned profession practician early.
Foods that comprise the stalking will possible lever cereal grass allergy: couscous, breadstuff crumbs, flour wheat, staff of life meal, bran, essential gluten, integral corn flour, cereal grass bran, corn gluten, wheat malt, enriched flour, cereal quote and cereal grass inspiration. Food ingredients that may contain wheat allergens consider starch, gelatinized starch, pure flavoring, soy sauce, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and modified amylum and feed starch, so you mightiness privation to counseling unmistakable of these products, too.
Again, cereal grass hypersensitivity reaction is something preventable and curable. The only entry you entail to do is determine what makes your allergies tick and find out what medications and treatments are requisite to address every riddle.

|Re: [classlib][vmi] getZipCachePool() in VMI exposes internal VM structures.
|Wed, 16 May 2007 07:51:59 GMT
Resurrecting this old thread... I'd like to move forward with this issue. Since it is a VM interface change, it is a little tricky to move forward since we'd need support in the VMs but I think that it is important that we make progress in cleaning up the VM interface to remove exposure of internal data structures. (There are other instances of this already, hy.no.thr, that I'll raise in a separate thread[no pun intended].) Ron has helpfully attached a patch to the JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3563 that makes use of the new api an option, so I'd be willing to commit it now. However, I'd really like to hear from others (particularly those working on drlvm) before moving forward with this. Regards, Mark.

Polished Bronze Madurai Veeran Statue 13"
Item #: 57b32
Statue Details
Total Height Including Base: 13 inches or 33 cms
Base Width & Depth: 4.5 x 4.5 inches
Weight: 7 pounds or 3 kgs
- Madurai Veeran has dignified facial features with a slight smile and a moustache
- He is a popular village deity of temples in Tamil Nadu, South India
- He holds a club and a sword in his hands
- Madurai Veeran is a lost wax method, bronze sculpture, hand cast by the bronze artists of South India. Only one of these statues is ever made
- He ships the same day from our California showroom
Village Deities: Different village deities are found in the different districts. Sudalai Madan is worshiped in Tirunelveli district. Madurai Veeren is found in Madurai and Tiruchi districts. On an average, eight percent of the Hindu population worship village gods daily and fourteen percent occasionally. Twenty-six percent of the Hindu population of Thanjavur district worship village gods daily. In Madurai district, about twenty percent. This percentage is high because of the popularity of Madurai Veeren.
Lost Wax Method: This sculpture is a one of a kind, lost wax method bronze statue hand made by the artists of South India. The sculpture pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact sculpture. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this! Each bronze is hand made by a group of bronze artists whose families have been crafting bronze sculptures for centuries with the art being passed on by each generation. The hand crafted bronzes statues have an incredible amount of detail which many other mass produced, brass Hindu statues lack. Lost Wax South Indian bronze statues are the only sculptures used by Hindu temples throughout India and the world. Click here to learn more about the Lost Wax Method.
About the Golden Polish: This bronze sculpture has been polished after casting giving it a golden shine. Polished bronze murtis are often used in temples. Temples prefer the polished bronze because the rituals involved in puja often involve bathing the bronze deity, abisheka, which naturally removes the bronze patina of an older piece. Over time and with no periodic care the golden polish will naturally dull to form a dark patina that is naturally found on aged bronze.
Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece. All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
If you have any questions concerning your bronze statue please email us at [email protected] or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

Imaging devices late to battlefield
Troops in Afghanistan may have to wait 10 to 12 months for advanced medical machinery for treating concussions, raising concerns among top military leaders that the equpment will not be available for potentially hundreds of sevicemembers with mild brain injuries.
Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, requested in November that magnetic resonance imaging machines, or MRIs, be sent to the battlefield to help doctors see and better treat an otherwise invisible wound. But efforts to send two MRI machines have met with resistance from military medical leaders who do not share the same sense of urgency.
Mullen says he knows that buying the machines cannot be done overnight. (But) is it going as fast as I would like? No. Because (MRI technology) is not out there and Ive got kids, Ive got young ones, getting blown up, Mullen said. Tomorrows not soon enough.
Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, and Gen. Peter Chiarelli, vice chief of staff of the Army, agreed. Its absolutely essential, Chiarelli says.
All three said they have relied on civilian scientific brain experts for guidance on whether the imaging machines would be useful.
But military medical leaders in Afghanistan say MRI technology is more for research and chose not to make an urgent request for it, spokesman Air Force Lt. Col. John Dorrian says.
Army surgeon-general Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker said that although an MRI is a helpful tool in battlefield care, it is not essential for diagnosis.
The Navy surgeon-general, Vice Adm. Adam Robinson, echoed the view that an MRI is primarily a research tool.
Without an urgent demand, the two machines for $9 million must be acquired through competitive bidding, the Navy says. They will not reach Afghanistan until August at the earliest, Robinson says.
More than 300 U.S. troops per month suffered concussions last year in Afghanistan. Mullens science adviser, Army Col. Christian Macedonia, said if purchased outright, without competitive bidding, MRI machines could go to the war zone in a period of weeks.
The mysteries of our bureaucracy never cease to amaze, he says.

LEWISTON, ME -- Maine's Casco Bay Vending has acquired Pine State Vending, a division of Pine State Trading Co., and Canteen of Maine.
Casco Bay Vending, based here and founded in 2008 by Ted Morton, operates snack and beverage vending machines, micromarkets and full-service cafés. With the acquisition, CBV employs more than 120 people and serves 2,000 customers in more than a half dozen counties, including Androscoggin, York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Kennebec, Oxford and Franklin.
"We are thrilled with the acquisition of these two outstanding companies," CBV president Ted Morton said. "With the addition of the exceptional staff from Pine State Vending and Canteen of Maine who will be joining our team, we will truly be able to provide the highest-quality service."
Canteen of Maine and Pine State, both third-generation, family-owned businesses, were not actively looking to sell, according to Morton. But after an out-of-state company approached the two operators, and Casco Bay Vending, with an interest in purchasing all of them last summer, it seemed like the right time for a sales plan.
Morton was not interested in selling his company and approached his two competitors about purchasing their operations. Both companies decided they were ready to sell and that the acquisition by Casco Bay Vending would be the best fit to uphold their service standard and to safeguard their employees.
"It was important to all three companies that our employees be taken care of, and we all felt this could best be done by a Maine company," Morton said.

As updated yesterday, the grand wedding reception of Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma took place in Mandi and the highlight of the ceremony was Salman Khan.
From the moment he step foot on the ground after his helicopter ride to Himachal Pradesh till the time he waved at his fans, Salman was the only person who got attention, so much that even the newly wed couple were sidelined.
He even struck an emotional chord with the people who gathered there, he said, "I have come here to hand over my sister, who is my heart."
"I heard that people of Himachal are very good so are the locals of Mandi. It gives me a great pleasure to see the good people around... Now I have a connection with people of Mandi and Himachal Pradesh. I will do whatever I can do for you people."
A traditional four course meal, Dham was organised to felicitate their daughter in law, Arpita. All the locals were invited to this grand feast.
Arpita's father in law, Anil Sharma told, "We feel honoured with the visit of Salman Khan and, of course, excited over bahu's (daughter-in-law) first homecoming."

I recently read a SeattleMet.com regarding local area restaurants and their seasonal steelhead on the menu — "How a Steelhead Trout Goes from the Hoh River to the Entree Menu." These fish are caught by gillnets which are kill nets and do not discriminate between wild and hatchery. I can not believe that someone would glorify the killing of wild steelhead like this and these local restaurants contribute to the problem buy buying the fish.
We as consumers should stand up and say no more! Boycott these restaurants. As a retired commercial fisherman, now I catch them one at a time with a pole, I have seen the effects of the Bolt Decision, mainly the pressure of native gillnetting in the rivers, with the decline in our native fish stocks. Can you tell me what fish the Quinault tribe is targeting this time of year fishing five days a week on the Chehalis River? Sunday at noon through Friday at noon every week until mid April. This is a "no brainer" — get the nets out of the rivers or these wild fish are doomed.

Clicking the Mark all forums read after selecting What's New results in a "Forum not found" error.
Sorry, can't confirm this. I use this at many time.
this is the url
**** ... is broken. I am worry
I think it happens when there's no threads left to read, and then trying to make the forums read.
Nope.... First time it happened, there were 3 pages of unread threads. Happens with 1 unread, 2 unread, 3 unread, etc. etc. etc.
I've used that before so it used to work.
It happens from the forum page too.
Yeah, that's possible
Ah, I've only managed to trigger it frequently when I do it when there's no unread threads.
Working on it...
just noticed which now doesn't run in the forumhome ...
Should be fixed now. Some changes to how link building is done (for forums) broke it.
Yepper. Working for me now. Danke.
I think it's right now

Simple Machines
Lever- A solid bar that moves up and down on a fixated point called a fulcrum. The different classes of levers are determined on where the fulcrum and load is located and how the effort is being forced. Some examples of a lever is a seesaw, tweezers, or a wheelbarrow. The mechanical advantage formula for a lever is the distance from input force to fulcrum divided by the distance from output force to fulcrum.
Wheel and Axle- Is a machine that is a wheel attached to a shaft or axle. An example is a set of wheels on a bike or skateboard. The mechanical advantage formula for the wheel and axle is the radius of input divided by the radius of output.
Pulley- Is a wheel with a rim that turns on an axle. An example is a wheel with a rope, chain, or cord. There is no specific mechanical advantage formula for the pulley.
Inclined plane- Is a piece of material with a sloping surface like a ramp. An example is like a slide or something used for loading or unloading objects. The mechanical advantage formula is the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
Wedge- Is a machine with a thick and thin end. An example of a wedge is a needle or scissors. There is no individual mechanical advantage formula for the wedge.
Screw- Is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. It can be used to raise and lower weights as well as to fasten objects. An example of a screw is the end part on a lightbulb. There is no mechanical advantage formula for the screw.

Whoa, let's all take a brief pause and tone down the instant disagreements. Seriously. This will wait for a day or two. Plus, heated discussions over who did what where and when are... not very useful. Rob's made a change which is something of an improvement by updating the mailing-lists.html page. No need to yell for a revert! Better yet, work together to figure out what else to do that helps, or best of all, figure out a better way to do the same thing, and then update various sites to match. This is not a zero sum topic. Personally, I think the most useful solution would be: - an open wiki where a folksonomy can grow and have discussion, and lead to some obvious suggestions for later inclusion in... - a public-facing official webpage that directly introduces the world to our mailing lists and the expected behavior on them - Shane, looking forward to beautiful weather for a beach picnic tonight
