Face Detection by Fine Tuning the Gabor Filter Parameter
Face detection technique recognition is developed by using and fine tuning the Gabor Wavelet parameters. An extensive study of these parameters have been made and checked on a large acquired data set of face images, for extracting the features. The Facial data consists of 320 frontal face 180 non-face images. (Total=500 images) Artificial Neural Network is then used on the extracted features fo...
متن کاملFine Tuning of the Lactate and Diacetyl Production through Promoter Engineering in Lactococcus lactis
Lactococcus lactis is a well-studied bacterium widely used in dairy fermentation and capable of producing metabolites with organoleptic and nutritional characteristics. For fine tuning of the distribution of glycolytic flux at the pyruvate branch from lactate to diacetyl and balancing the production of the two metabolites under aerobic conditions, a constitutive promoter library was constructed...
متن کاملEfficiency gains from organizational innovation: Comparing ordinal and cardinal tournament games in broiler contracts
We analyze the contract settlement data of a poultry company who contracts the production of broiler chickens with a group of independent growers. The company originally used rank-order (ordinal) tournaments to compensate their contract growers and later switched to cardinal tournaments. Based on the observed payment mechanism we construct an empirical model of a rank-order tournament game and ...
متن کاملLocation Privacy: Privacy, Efficiency and Recourse through a Prohibitive Contract
In certain circumstances an individual may not be in control of their private location information and thus vulnerable to a privacy violation. In this paper, we ensure location privacy through the establishment of a prohibitive contract in a situation where an individual wishes to minimize privacy loss and a service provider aims to maximize profits. Given the possible strategies we show that a...
متن کاملEfficiency Gains and Mergers
In the theoretical literature, strong arguments have been provided in support of the efficiency defense in antitrust merger policy. One of the most often cited results is due to Williamson (1968) that shows how relatively small reduction in cost could offset the deadweight loss of a large price increase. Furthermore, Salant et al. (1983) demonstrate that (not for monopoly) mergers are unprofita...
