This paper presents a fast method for computing whether or not two convex polygons in three dimensions intersect. The test relies exclusively on the sign of 4 4 determinants. The source code is available online.

Some techniques which average multiple AMSR satellite data passes into daily sets create images with diminished temporal resolution. This results from averaging data of multiple overlapping passes separated by many hours. Overlap can be reduced by instead grouping data according to local time of day. This new method maximizes temporal resolution by decreasing both the number and the temporal va...

Phonological priming between spoken words was examined using CVCVC bisyllabic pseudoword primes and word or pseudoword targets. The influence of different types of overlap was compared, prime and target sharing the coda, the rime or the final syllable. The task was target shadowing. Two priming conditions were used, the auditory targets being preceded by auditory primes in unimodal and by visua...

which, again, we can solve using a Cauchy integral and (31). The problem of finding K± is more delicate. At first sight, we could take the logarithm of (33), giving logK+− logK− = logG. This looks similar to (31), but it usually happens that logG(t) is not continuous for all t ∈ C , which means that we cannot use (30). However, this difficulty can be overcome. The problem of finding K± such tha...

A new type of microwave radiometer detector has been developed that is capable of identifying high and low levels of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and of reducing or eliminating its effect on the measured brightness temperatures. The Agile Digital Detector (ADD) digitizes its pre-detection radiometer signal, performs digital sub band filtering, and then measures the first four moments of t...

A single precision floating-point fused add-subtract unit and fused dot-product unit is presented that performs simultaneous floating-point add and multiplication operations. It takes to perform a major part of single addition, subtraction and dot-product using parallel implementation. This unit uses the IEEE-754 single-precision format and supports all rounding modes. The fused add-subtract un...

4.1.2 EXTRACTION TIME PROFILES Extraction time profiles for CBZ using C18 coatings of varying thickness (n=3 fibres) were constructed in order to determine the time required to reach equilibrium. As shown in Figure 3, using static conditions the equilibrium was reached in 60 minutes (15 μm coating) and 300 minutes (30 μm coating). These times are too long to perform equilibrium in vivo SPME sam...
