abstract = {We obtain upper and lower bounds on the entropy per site S(k,d), of covering all the sites of a d-dimensional lattice by straight rigid rods of length k, where k is any positive integer. Exact diagonalization of finite strips in d=2, and perturbative estimates in higher d support the conjecture that $\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} S(k,d) k^2/\log k = 1$, for all $d$.},
