Computing medial axis of a simple polygon in linear time based on R-L sequence by Hongyu Chen, Xiaodiao Chen, Yizhao Xue

“…The branches of the medial axis are naturally divided into several panels, such that the branches in the same panel cause no interference with each other and decrease a lot of computational costs. Based on our experiments, the efficiency of the proposed R-L algorithm can be 6 to 17 times greater than that of the state-of-the-art method in TVCG, and up to 419 times greater than the CGAL algorithm. …”

Public and Public Utility Enterprises Restructuring: Statistical and Quantitative Aid for Ensuring Human Resource Sustainability by Mladen Čudanov, Ondrej Jaško, Gheorghe Săvoiu

“…However, the application of this method is not limited to downsizing, as during its application in more than 20 public and public utility enterprises it was sometimes applied to increase output or reduce costs not necessarily connected to labour. Although it finally refers to downsizing, this method can provide fairer and more impartial approach than the subjective estimate of employee surplus, and its arbitral distribution within the enterprise.…”

Assessment of Indicators of the Circular Economy on the Example of the Countries of the European Union and the Possibility of Application in the Conditions of Kazakhstan by A. M. Tleppayev, S. Zh. Zeinolla

“…A model was built using data for the European Union countries, the following variables (factors) were used to build this model: the share of material extracted and returned to the economy, the intensity of CO2 emissions, the level of energy intensity of primary energy, GDP per capita, research and development costs, the share urban population in total. Based on the simulation results, it was concluded that GDP growth and growth in energy intensity, together with an increase in the level of technology in the economy, leads to an increase in the processing of materials and their reuse in economic circulation. …”
