Micro-expressions are brief spontaneous facial expressions that appear on a face when a person conceals an emotion, making them different to normal facial expressions in subtlety and duration. Currently, emotion classes within the CASME II dataset are based on Action Units and self-reports, creating conflicts during machine learning training. We will show that classifying expressions using Acti...

We examined diversity, community composition, and wing-state of Carabidae as a function of forest age in Piedmont North Carolina. Carabidae were collected monthly from 396 pitfall traps (12×33 sites) from March 2009 through February 2010, representing 5 forest age classes approximately 0, 10, 50, 85, and 150 years old. A total of 2,568 individuals, representing 30 genera and 63 species, were co...

One of the most widely methods used to size estimation is Function Point Analysis. Since the introduction of object-oriented development in industrial practice, many OO and Function Point -like approaches have been presented. This paper proposes the use of the composition relationship among analysis classes to improve the rules included in many of the FP-like approaches in order to identify Int...

Lattice protein models, as the Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) model, are a common abstraction to enable exhaustive studies on structure, function, or evolution of proteins. A main issue is the high number of optimal structures, resulting from the hydrophobicity-based energy function applied. We introduce an equivalence relation on protein structures that correlates to the energy function. We discuss th...
