In this report, I use CAS-PEAL dataset [1] to try and generate facial expressions. That is, I take in, say, a smiling face, and try to generate a face that is neutral. I build off Ghodrati’s, et al. [2] to see if I generate facial expressions. Finally, I use a variant of Deep Convolutional Adversarial Networks, hereafer DCGAN’s, [7] to generate a facial expressions.

We present results from an experiment similar to one performed by Packard [24], in which a genetic algorithm is used to evolve cellular automata (CAs) to perform a particular computat iona l t ask . Packard examined the frequency of evolved CA rules as a function of Langton's A par amet er [17]; he interpret ed t he results of his experiment as giving evidence for two hypotheses: (1) CA rules t...

BACKGROUND Clinical trials demonstrated the efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) relative to carotid endarterectomy when performed by physicians with demonstrated proficiency. It is unclear how CAS performance may be influenced by the diversity in CAS and non-CAS provider volumes in routine clinical practice. METHODS AND RESULTS We linked Medicare claims to the Centers for Medicare and M...

To investigate the effects of carvacrol supplementation diets in rainbow trout induced by LPS, we measured gene expressions relative to pro-inflammatory and apoptosis in kidney and liver. Fish, which that were studied by four different treatments with three replicates each, was 44.71±1.33 gr. All fish were infected with E. coli LPS (25 µg ml-1) expect control and only carvacrol containing diet ...

Dans un service de 36 lits de medicine in­fantile une periode de 18 mois, 33 enfants furent hospitalises pour une affection hematologique maligne: 21 cas de leucemie aigi.ie, 1 cas de leu­cemie myeloide chronique, 2 cas de lymphomes malins, 9 cas de Hodgkin aux differents stades evolutifs.  Aucune complication neurologique ne fut observe chez les malades attaints de Hodgkin. Ia moitie des enfa...

We address the problem of blind source separation in the case of a time dependent mixture matrix. For a slowly and smoothly varying mixture matrix, we propose a systematic expansion which leads to a practical algebraic solution when stationary and ergodic properties hold for the sources. Resum e Nous consid erons le probl eme de la s eparation aveugle de sources dans le cas d'une matrice de m e...

A toxicological evaluation of two novel bitter modifying flavour compounds, 3-(1-((3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(3-hydroxybenzyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (S6821, CAS 1119831-25-2) and 3-(1-((3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(3-hydroxybenzyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (S7958, CAS 1217341-48-4), were completed for the purpose of assessing their...

Photodissociation pathways of HNO3 involving the four lowest electronic singlet states (S0, S1, S2 and S3) were studied by the MS-CAS(12e,8o)PT2/6-31+G* method. All critical points, i.e. minima, transition states and minimum energy conical intersections, were explored systematically by the global reaction route mapping (GRRM) strategy utilizing the anharmonic downward distortion following (ADDF...
