We propose two new models for view-independent face recognition, which lies under the category of multiview approaches. We use the so-called “mixture of experts” (MOE) in which, the problem space is divided into several subspaces for the experts, and then the outputs of experts are combined by a gating network to form the final output. Basically, our focus is on the way that the face space is p...

Nanoparticulate metal–insulator–metal ensemble chemiresistors in which the Au nanoclusters are functionalized with mercaptohexanoic acid are investigated as sensors of amines, and especially of triethylamine to which they are found to be extraordinarily sensitive with a minimum detectable level of less than 500 ppt. The dependences of the response on dose, time, and temperature are studied in d...

【Objective】 In order to quantify the nitrogen accumulation and partitioning of protected cultivated tomato plant. 【Method】 The field experiments on cultivars and fertilizer were conducted in 2009 and 2010, and cultivars: B1, B2, and B3 were adopted.【Result】 The simulation models of nitrogen accumulation and partitioning for protected cultivated tomato plant were built by analyzing the relations...

The equilibrium partitioning of formaldehyde (HCHO) between air and snow was studied in a series of laboratory experiments conducted at 51C, 151C, and 351C, in order to understand how partitioning of HCHO between air and polar snow varies with temperature, and thus seasonally on the ice sheet. Measured partitioning coefficients were 56, 93, and 245mol l 1 atm 1 for 51C, 151C and 351C, respectiv...

in this paper we introduce the concept of weakly prime ternary subsemimodules of a ternary semimodule over a ternary semiring and obtain some characterizations of weakly prime ternary subsemimodules. we prove that if $n$ is a weakly prime subtractive ternary subsemimodule of a ternary $r$-semimodule $m$, then either $n$ is a prime ternary subsemimodule or $(n : m)(n : m)n = 0$. if $n$ is a $q$-...

[1] This paper discusses the reversibility of gas-particle partitioning in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed from a-pinene ozonolysis in a smog chamber. Previously, phase partitioning has been studied quantitatively via SOA production experiments and qualitatively by perturbing temperature and observing particle evaporation. In this work, two methods were used to isothermally dilute the SO...

The membrane raft hypothesis postulates the existence of lipid bilayer membrane heterogeneities, or domains, supposed to be important for cellular function, including lateral sorting, signaling, and trafficking. Characterization of membrane lipid heterogeneities in live cells has been challenging in part because inhomogeneity has not usually been definable by optical microscopy. Model membrane ...
