The creative economy is one of the world's most dynamic economic development drivers. Countries that can effectively develop and utilize will reap substantial benefits. potential in Indonesia continues to grow, including Lebak Regency, Banten Province. Regency possesses excellent natural, cultural, human resources. Palm sugar well-known SME products. This study aims identify framework for contr...

The advent of the Internet and the development of the Next Generation Network (NGN) have enabled the development of value added services (VAS), while operators’ investments in licenses and their desire to stay competitive on the market have triggered the development. When forming VAS, special attention needs to be paid to the purchase of resources (e.g., transport capacity and content) needed f...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of sun-drying, ensiling and addition of polyethylene glycol (peg) on deactivation of tannins in the pistachio by-products hull (pbh). the chemical composition, protein quality and phenolic compounds of fresh pistachio by-products hull, sun-dried and ensiled for either 30 or 60 days were assessed. organic matter digestibility (omd) and met...

This study investigates the effect of sub-phonemic variation in bilabial stop and sibilant fricative consonants on word identification. Recent research suggests that sub-phonemic variation in stop voicing contrasts influences lexical processing. The present study seeks further support for this view by examining listeners’ responses to synthetic speech varying along VOT and fricative place conti...

Within this paper we study the Minkowski sum of prisms (" Cephoids ") in a finite dimensional vector space. For a vector a ∈ R n with positive components we write ¯ a = (1 ¯ a 1 1 ¯ an) and denote by = ¯ a = {x ∈ R n || ¯ a, x 1 , x 0} the associated prism. We provide a representation of a finite sum of prisms in terms of inequalities.

Let SH denote the homothety class generated by a convex set S ⊂ R: SH = {a + λS | a ∈ R, λ > 0}. We determine conditions for the Minkowski sum BH + CH or the Minkowski difference BH ∼ CH of homothety classes BH and CH generated by closed convex sets B,C ⊂ R to lie in a homothety class generated by a closed convex set (more generally, in the union of countably many homothety classes generated by...

Fakhruddin has proved that for two lattice polygons P and Q any lattice point in their Minkowski sum can be written as a sum of a lattice point in P and one in Q, provided P is smooth and the normal fan of P is a subdivision of the normal fan of Q. We give a shorter combinatorial proof of this fact that does not need the smoothness assumption on P .

Under the extra assumption that the boundary is of class C this was proven by S. Nakajima (= A. Matsumura) in 1926 Theorem 1 solves this problem. For convex bodies with C boundaries and positive curvature Nakajima’s result was generalized by Chakerian [?] in 1967 to “relative geometry” where the width and brightness are measured with with respect to some convex body K0 symmetric about the origi...
