Traditionally, in face authentication/identification methods the presumption concerning face/head symmetry is used, which is logical in terms of the next qualitative reduction of primary data to templates as well as not using the primary face images, for example, in advanced applications that concern creating techniques by means of which it is possible to reproduce the extraordinary complexity ...

Lawrence-Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, U.S.A. Abstract The recent experimental advances in cold atomic traps have induced a great amount of interest in fields from condensed matter to particle physics, including approaches and prospects from the theoretical point of view. In this work we investigate the general properties and the ground state of an asymmetrical dilute gas of cold fer...

Infrared spectra of some deuterio analogues of carboxylic acids in heavy water have been investigated and their spectral behavior in carbonyl stretching frequency region have been interpreted in terms of their structural behavior in aqueous solutions. It has been shown that a linear relationship exists between carbonyl stretching frequency of solvated acids at infinite dilution and their...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of low-load, short-duration stretching with or without high-intensity, pulsed short-wave diathermy on hamstring flexibility. DESIGN AND SETTING: We used a single-blind, repeated-measures design (pretest and posttest for all treatments) that included a placebo. The 3 independent variables were treatment mode, pretest and posttest measurements, and day. Treatment...
