However, little is known about whether gender nonconformity, as a visible marker of one's stigmatized status as a transgender individual, heightens trans people's experiences with discrimination and, in turn, their health.

Participants completed measures of preference for online social interaction, depression, loneliness, problematic Internet use, and negative outcomes resulting fro...

This paper delves into the problem of face recognition using color as an important cue in improving recognition accuracy. To perform recognition of color images, we use the characteristics of a 3D color tensor to generate a subspace, which in turn can be used to recognize a new probe image. To test the accuracy of our methodology, we computed the recognition rate across two color face databases...

PURPOSE To evaluate the surgical results of asymmetric bilateral lateral rectus recession in exotropic Duane retraction syndrome with abnormal face turn toward the opposite side according to secondary deviation measurements. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS Seven cases of unilateral exotropic Duane retraction syndrome were reviewed. All cases had globe retraction on adduction and...

Existing studies of social network interactions have either been restricted to online communities, where unambiguous measurements about how people interact can be obtained, or have been forced to rely on questionnaires...
