The right to privacy and the related principle of confidentiality generally govern the behavior of psychiatrists and other physicians in presenting medical cases in the professional literature and elsewhere. The ethical obligation by physicians to maintain privacy has been embodied in the Hippocratic Oath and its modern-day successors. The right to privacy is supported by numerous other traditi...

Photos are commonly falsified by compositing two or more people into a single image. We describe how such composites can be detected by estimating a camera’s intrinsic parameters. Differences in these parameters across the image are then used as evidence of tampering. Expanding on earlier work, this approach is more applicable to low-resolution images, but requires a reference image of each per...

Abstract Inequalities play an important role in pure and applied mathematics. In particular, Jensen’s inequality, one of the most famous inequalities, plays main study existence uniqueness initial boundary value problems for differential equations. this work, we prove some new Jensen-type inequalities m -convex functions apply them to generalized Riemann-Liouville-type integral operators. Furth...

The occipital face area (OFA) is face-selective. This enhanced activation to faces could reflect either generic face and shape-related processing or high-level conceptual processing of identity. Here we examined these two possibilities using a state-dependent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigm. The lateral occipital (LO) cortex which is activated non-selectively by various types o...

The contributions of local and global features to object identification depend upon the context. For example, while local features play an essential role in identification of words and objects, the global features are more influential in face recognition. In order to evaluate the respective strengths of local and global features for face recognition, researchers usually ask participants to reco...

What role does the wild duck play in Ibsen’s famous drama? I argue that, besides mirroring the fate of the human cast members, the duck is acting as animal subject in a quasi-experiment, conducted in a private setting. Analysed from this perspective, the play allows us to discern the epistemological and ethical dimensions of the new scientific animal practice (systematic observation of animal b...
