Existing theories on shape digitization impose strong constraints on feasible shapes and require error-free measurements. We use Delaunay triangulation and α-shapes to prove that topologically correct segmentations can be obtained under much more realistic conditions. Our key assumption is that sampling points represent object boundaries with a certain maximum error. Experiments on real and gen...

This paper proposes a solution to the problem of finding the boundary of the gamut of a color printing device or of a color image. A surface triangulation of a set of points in the color space is computed using an alpha-shape, which is a generalization of a convex hull applicable also to nonconvex solids. The desired level of detail can be controlled by means of an alpha parameter. A method for...

background: alpha-thalassemia syndrome includes a group of hereditary anemia in which expression of alpha globin chains is decreased or absent. impaired rbc in patients with thalassemia causes vessel involvement and endothelial cell vessel disturbance. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is the most important regulator for endothelial cell proliferation. so, the aim of this study is to co...

addition of potassium cyanide to a mixture of schiff base and lithium perchlorate afforded a-aminonitriles in high yields. addition of potassium cyanide to a methanolic solution of schiff base and phosphoric acid afforded a-aminonitriles. when the reaction mixture was refluxed it gave a-amino acids in high yields.
