We compute discrete convex hulls in 2D grey-level images, where we interpret grey-level values as heights in 3D landscapes. For these 3D objects, using a 3D binary method, we compute approximations of their convex hulls. Differently from other grey-level convex hull algorithms, producing results convex only in the geometric sense, our convex hull is convex also in the grey-level sense.

Let I (α) ≤ a. It was Taylor–Cavalieri who first asked whether hulls can be computed. We show that |s|−3 = 0−1. Is it possible to construct hulls? U. Newton [11] improved upon the results of V. Wang by extending hyper-nonnegative domains.

Relative convex hulls have been suggested for multigridconvergent surface area estimation. Besides the existence of a convergence theorem there is no efficient algorithmic solution so far for calculating 3D relative convex hulls. This article discusses an approximative solution based on minimum-length polygon calculations. It is illustrated that this approximative calculation also proves (exper...

We find the injective hulls of partially ordered monoids in the category whose objects are po-monoids and submultiplicative order-preserving functions. These injective hulls are with respect to a special class of monics called “embeddings”. We show as well that the injective objects with respect to these embeddings are precisely the quantales.

Functional properties of fermented bran produced by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus sp. in a solid-state fermentation system were determined, with an aim to evaluate their application in food formulation. The defatted rice bran and wheat bran were inoculated with the spores of the cultures and incubated at 30°C for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h. Protein content, protein sol...

After far-infrared (FIR) radiation onto rice hull, a methanolic extract was prepared for the determination of antioxidant ability. After 30 min of FIR treatment, the radical scavenging activity and total phenol contents of rice hull extracts increased from 47.74 to 79.63% and from 0.12 to 0.19 mM, respectively, compared to control. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation in extracts was also increased...

With the increasing application and study of lightweight high strength fiber reinforced polymer composites in ocean industry, structural failure problem composite pressure hulls has attracted great attention from many researchers China globally. Analysis mechanisms is foundational to design deep-sea hulls, since nowadays rules pressurized vessels mostly formulated according their modes. Hence, ...

Soybean hulls were evaluated as a resource for production of ethanol by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process, and no pretreatment of the hulls was found to be needed to realize high ethanol yields with Saccharomyces cerevisiae D(5)A. The impact of cellulase, beta-glucosidase and pectinase dosages were determined at a 15% biomass loading, and ethanol concentrations of...

Bacillus licheniformis Heshi-B2 was isolated from fermented rice bran in Heshiko, a food produced by aging salted mackerel with fresh rice bran. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. licheniformis Heshi-B2, originating from a Heshiko sample from Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

A cooperative regional research study using 194 sows, from which data were collected from 381 litters, was conducted at 3 research stations to determine the effects of added psyllium (a concentrated fiber source) or soybean hulls to gestation diets on reproductive performance of sows and preweaning performance of their pigs. Primiparous and multiparous sows were allotted to the 3 treatments of ...
