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...

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...

The articles listed below represent a bibliography of research on the female condom; this is an update of the original female condom bibliography created in 2010 by the Cervical Barrier Advancement Society (CBAS). To update the 2010 bibliography, we searched in PubMed for the term “female condom” in titles and abstracts from articles published between June 2010 and October 2011. This version of...

“Just add water” is the modern chime turning various prepared foods into family dinner; however, is it good advice for people at the table as well? In this issue of JASN, Berl1 describes how solute intake affects the kidney’s handling of water. What of the converse: How does intake of water affect kidney function and other physiologic variables? A brief search of the Internet will find multiple...

We present an algorithm to compute an approximate overlap of two convex polytopes P1 and P2 in R3 under rigid motion. Given any ε ∈ (0, 1/2], our algorithm runs in O(ε−3n log3.5 n) time with probability 1− n−O(1) and returns a (1− ε)-approximate maximum overlap, provided that the maximum overlap is at least λ ·max{|P1|, |P2|} for some given constant λ ∈ (0, 1]. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F...
