the net analyte signal standard addition method was used for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of sertraline and fluoxetine in pharmaceutical preparations. the method combines the advantages of the standard addition method with the net analyte signal concept to enable the extraction of information about an analyte from the spectra of multi-component mixtures. this method uses full s...

We survey the connection between two results from rather different areas: failure of the 3-space property for local convexity (and other properties) within the category of quasiBanach spaces, and the irreducibility (in the sense of Minkowski difference) of large families of finite dimensional polytopes. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 46A16, 46B03, 52B15..

A global visibility map is a spherical image built to describe the complete set of global visible view directions for a surface. In this paper, we consider the computation of global visibility maps for regions on the boundary of a polyhedron. Both the self-occlusions introduced by a region and the global occlusions introduced by the rest of the surfaces on the boundary of the polyhedron are con...

In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions are provided. Two particular applications concern the cases of convex sets with the Minkowski addition and the polarity transform and the family of non-negative convex functions with the ...

Given a lattice polytope Q ⊆ IR, we define an affine scheme M̄ that reflects the possibilities of splitting Q into a Minkowski sum. On the other hand, Q induces a toric Gorenstein singularity Y , and we construct a flat family over M̄ with Y as special fiber. In case Y has an isolated singularity only, this family is versal.
