An algorithm for computing the convex hull of a simple polygon is presented. Its correctness and complexity are also shown. Computational geometry Convex hull Simple polygon Algorithm

Computational Fluid Dynamics is used to investigate the global forces and moments acting on the KVLCC2 hull form under going straight line, drift and pure sway planar motion mechanism tests. Simulated results are compared with experimental results for the unappended hull in shallow water and a fully appended hull with a propeller acting at the ship self propulsion point. A body fitted mesh unde...

Generalizing the fact that Scott’s continuous lattices form the equational hull of the class of all algebraic lattices, we describe an equational hull of LFP, the category of locally finitely presentable categories, over CAT. Up to a set-theoretical hypothesis this hull is formed by the category of all precontinuous categories, i.e., categories in which limits and filtered colimits distribute. ...

A space-efficient algorithm is one in which the output is given in the same location as the input and only a small amount of additional memory is used by the algorithm. We describe four space-efficient algorithms for computing the convex hull of a planar point set.

In the paper, technology of melanin and powder from buckwheat ( Fagopyrum esculentum ) hull obtaining is studied. Buckwheat a by-product grain production has high antioxidant activity. It cheap source for raw material with content cellulose brown pigment. Russia, strategical crop used in child dietary nutrition. hulls, which volume about 22% total processed grain, are practically not used. At s...

in this experiment, physical and chemical characteristics and estimation of effective fiber and digestibility of some agricultural by-products such as lerd, pulp and date kernel, grape pomace, pistachio hulls, lime and rice straw were determined by using in vitro technique. experimental data were analyzed as a complete randomized design, with three replicates. physical and chemical characterist...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

in this research effectiveness of immersing three types of contaminated pistachios fresh with hull (exocarp or epicarp), dried in shell and dried with hull from ohady cultivar in ozonated water 0 ppm (control), 4 and 8 ppm ozone concentrations in aqueous solution for range of exposure times 0(control), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and12 hours, to decrease of aflatoxin (b1, b2, g1, g2 and total) were investig...

The pomegranate, Punica granatum L., has been the subject of current interest as a medicinal agent with wide-ranging therapeutic indications. In the present study, pomegranate ethanolic seed and hull extracts were tested, in comparison with a commercial sample, for the inhibition of aldose reductase, an enzyme involved in the etiology of diabetic complications. In vitro inhibition of rat lens a...
