Imagine placing oranges or tennis balls into a rigid container. How can the balls be arranged such that they occupy the largest volume fraction of the container, otherwise known as the largest packing ...

At each stage of the packing of a closed interval K, a random number of random open intervals (the packing objects) are placed in that part of K which is as yet unoccupied. No overlapping between the ...

We consider two random sequential packing processes in which spheres of unit radius are randomly attached to the surface of a fixed unit sphere. Independent random spheres are generated and added ...

Heats of fusion of inert gases can be calculated using a random close packed model of the liquid and intermolecular potential functions of the Lennard-Jones 6–12 type. Experimental agreement is ...

Alfa Chemistry, headquartered in New York, USA, is an ISO9001:2015 certified supplier of high-quality chemicals, custom synthesis and provider of testing services. Recently, the company announced the ...

In math, the search for optimal patterns never ends. The sphere-packing problem — which asks how to cram balls into a (high-dimensional) box as efficiently as possible — is no exception. It has ...
