Face expression recognition is an active area of research with several fields of applications, ranging from emotion recognition for advanced human computer interaction to avatar animation for the movie industry. This paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art emotion recognition based on the visual analysis of facial expressions. We cover the main technical approaches and discuss the issue...

While people seem willing to buy software for PCs that crashes regularly, embedded software in products like cars, trains, airplanes, cellular phones, switching systems, elevators, or medical devices must meet significantly higher product quality standards. To ensure high availability, the design process for embedded software must address the challenge of stringent time-to market and quality re...

Observational studies, particularly those using large administrative claims databases, have become increasingly popular sources of comparative effectiveness or comparative safety research. Studies using claims data often face challenges and criticisms due to the lack of certain clinical information, such as lifestyle risk factors, disease severity, and questionable accuracy of disease diagnoses...

In this paper, we consider the problem of face detection under pose variations. Unlike other contributions, a focus of this work resides within efficient implementation utilizing the computational powers of modern graphics cards. The proposed system consists of a parallelized implementation of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with a special emphasize on also parallelizing the detection proc...

this study was an attempt to analyze the applications and problems of conducting blended learning (bl) in view point of the agricultural students from bu-ali sina university. the study has employed a surveying methodology with interviewing and included a combination of descriptive and quantitative research methods. statistical population of the study included 500 agricultural students from bu-a...

A new simple analytical model for prediction of cooling rate in the solidification process based on the local heat flux density extracted during solidification is introduced. In the modeling procedure, a solidifying control volume is considered in the mushy zone in which a heat balance equation is used to derive the present model. As the local heat flux density is a measurable parameter, the pr...

background: the gail model has been widely used for estimation of absolute risk of breast cancer development. the original model and most of the validation studies have been performed among western populations and controversial results have been reported regarding the applicability of this model in asian populations. our aim was to investigate the performance of this model in iranian women. met...

FACE TO FACE: FRANCO BELTRAMETTI AND JUDITH DANCIGER: A COUPLE OF TRANSLATORS
 In 1973 Franco Beltrametti, a Swiss author strictly connected to both the authors of Beat Generation and those Italian neo-avant-garde (Gruppo 63), published bilingual collection poems in English that he significantly titled Face face (Grosseteste, England). As stated book itself, versions are translations by hi...

It is well known that the UMACE filter is mostly used for face detection system, text recognition and fingerprint verification. However, in this study, the potential of UMACE to detect changes in EEG data from epilepsy monitoring routine is explored using only one channel of EEG recording. A novel method to analyse and detect variances in scalp EEG is performed by comparing the abnormal region ...

BACKGROUND Facial expressions of emotions represent classic stimuli for the study of social cognition. Developing virtual dynamic facial expressions of emotions, however, would open-up possibilities, both for fundamental and clinical research. For instance, virtual faces allow real-time Human-Computer retroactions between physiological measures and the virtual agent. OBJECTIVES The goal of th...
