Abstract This study presents a new mathematical hull-form that is expressed as an explicit function with 10 parameters, which called the Matsui in this study. The proposed was developed by expanding modified Wigley so following parameters can be independently varied: main dimensions $$L$$ L , $$B$$ B<...

Visual hull reconstruction is the process of generating three dimensional scene geometry from silhouette images captured from different views of a scene. The visual hull is the shape maximally consistent with its silhouette projection [4]. It has been popular due to its good approximating qualities for many objects and its ease and speed of implementation. It is commonly used as a starting poin...

We elaborate on the use of shadow systems to prove a particular case of the conjectured lower bound of the volume product P(K) = minz∈int(K) |K|||K|, where K ⊂ R is a convex body and K = {y ∈ R : (y − z) · (x − z) 6 1 for all x ∈ K} is the polar body of K with respect to the center of polarity z. In particular, we show that if K ⊂ R is the convex hull of two 2-dimensional convex bodies, then P(...

In this study the chemical composition and iron bioavailability of hull and hull-less soybean flour from the new cultivar UFVTN 105AP was evaluated. The hemoglobin depletion-repletion method was used in Wistar rats. Soybean hull flour presented 37% more total dietary fiber and higher content of iron than hull-less soybean flour. The phytate:iron molar ratio, however, was 2-fold lower in the soy...

This paper presents a new way to compute the Delaunay triangulation of a planar set P of n points, using sweep-circle technique combined with the standard recursive edge-flipping. The algorithm sweeps the plane by an increasing circle whose center is a fixed point in the convex hull of P . Empirical results and comparisons show that it reduces the number of in-circle tests and edge-flips, and i...

High performance machines have become available nowadays to an increasing number of researchers. Most of us might have both an access to a supercomputing center and an algorithm that could benefit from these high performance machines. The aim of the present work is to revisit all existing parallelization alternatives, including emerging technologies like software-only speculative parallelizatio...

In the context of N. Brown’s Hom(N,RU ), we establish that given π : N → RU , the dimension of the minimal face containing [π] is one less than the dimension of the center of the relative commutant of π. We also show the “convex independence”of extreme points in the sense that the convex hull of n extreme points is an n-vertex simplex. Along the way, we establish a version of Schur’s Lemma for ...
