Convex Hulls under Uncertainty [PDF]
We study the convex-hull problem in a probabilistic setting, motivated by the need to handle data uncertainty inherent in many applications, including sensor databases, location-based services and computer vision. In our framework, the uncertainty of each input site is described by a probability distribution over a finite number of possible locations ...

Let \(E\) be a pluripolar set in \(\mathbb{C}^N\) and \(D\) be its neighborhood. Two types of pluripolar hulls of \(E\) relative to \(D\) are considered: \[ E^*_D:= \cap\bigl \{z\in D;u(z)= -\infty\bigr\}\quad\text{and}\quad E^-_D:= \cap\bigl\{z \in D;u(z)= -\infty\bigr\} \] where the intersections are taken over all plurisubharmonic functions in \(D\)

Factors Determining Genotypic Variation in the Speed of Rice Germination
Rapid germination is important for both direct seeded rice in the field and for the production of germinated brown rice for healthy food. This study aims to evaluate genotypic differences in germination speed and identify characteristics that determine ...

Global Structural Behavior and Leg Strength for Jack-Up Rigs with Varying Environmental Parameters
In the mobile jack-up unit, the leg supporting the hull is a very important structure, and it is important to closely examine the changes in accident load, environmental load, and seabed ground during jack-up operation.

Flatulence-causing galactooligosaccharides of Phaseolus coccineus L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L.
Phaseolus coccineus beans were assayed for the presence of raffinose and stachyose in whole seeds and in the morphological parts of the seed: cotyledon, hypocotyl and hull. The quantitative composition of the galactooligosaccharides of Ph.
