Integer Programming (IP) is a very powerful technique for tackling problems which have a mixture of continuous and discrete activities, notably those involving scheduling. Unlike Linear Programming (LP), IP cannot simply be treated as a black box.
The Anion Gap is an approximate measurement of ions, that is molecules with a charge, either negative or positive. Sodium and potassium are positively charged and therefore called cations; this is why they are often represented as Na+ and K+ respectively.These two are the main cations measured in the blood.he Anion Gap is an approximate measurement of ions, that is molecules with a charge, either negative or positive.

The anion gap measurement is taken from the blood serum or blood plasma. Blood serum is the clear, thin, and sticky fluid part of the blood that remains after the blood has changed from a liquid into a solid.
