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...

O personalization services belong to a class of economic goods with a “no free disposal” (NFD) property where consumers do not always prefer more services to less because of the privacy concerns. These concerns arise from the revelation of information necessary for the provision of personalization services. We examine vendor strategies in a market where consumers have heterogeneous concerns abo...

We show that for a given set S of 2n points in general position in the plane, there is a cubic 3-connected crossing-free geometric graph on the vertex set S if and only if the interior of the convex hull of S contains at least n − 1 points of S. We also give similar results for sets of odd cardinality. Analogous partial results are given if the 3-connected crossing-free geometric graph is not r...

A new perspective on the analysis of turbulent boundary layers streamlined bodies is provided by deriving axisymmetric Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations in an orthogonal coordinate system aligned with streamlines, streamline-normal lines and plane symmetry. Wall-resolved large-eddy simulation using unstructured overset method performed to study flow about DARPA SUBOFF hull at a Reynolds...

An eco-friendly "on-water" protocol for efficient catalyst-free synthesis of the Hantzsch dihydropyridines from aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and vinylogous aldehydes has been developed with minimum auxiliary substances, toxic reagents, organic solvents, and disposal problems.

Lightweight ice-class vessels offer the possibility of increasing payload capacity while making them comparable in energy consumption with non-ice-class during ice-free periods. We approach development a lightweight hull by dividing ice–hull interactions into quasi-static loading and impact phases. Then, investigative outcomes concepts for each phase may be combined to develop ice-going hull. I...

A generalization of a result of Berezin and Gel’fand in the context of Eaton triples is given. The generalization and its proof are Lie-theoretic free and requires some basic knowledge of nonsmooth analysis. The result is then applied to determine the distance between a point and a G-orbit or its convex hull. We also discuss the derivatives of some orbital functions.

This article resides in the realm of the noncommutative (free) analog of real algebraic geometry – the study of polynomial inequalities and equations over the real numbers – with a focus on matrix convex sets C and their projections Ĉ. A free semialgebraic set which is convex as well as bounded and open can be represented as the solution set of a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI), a result which s...
