nima yooshij applied various techniques in order to describe diverse poetic subjects. this research deals with analysing the usage of these expressive techniques from two perspectives - poetic and structural. nima applied structural expressive techniques more often than poetic expressive techniques in order to describe various poetic subjects. these techniques include adjectives, adverbs, adjec...

This paper presents a new range Doppler algorithm (RDA) for bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing in a general configuration based on a bistatic point target reference spectrum: the improved extended Loffeld’s bistatic formula (ILBF). The ILBF spectrum is proved to be comparably accurate with the spectrum derived using the method of series reversion (MSR). Based on the expansion of...

Protein recommendations by some professional organizations for young adults engaged in resistance training (RT) are higher than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), but recommendations for resistance-training older adults (>50 years old) are not well characterized. Some argue that the current RDA is adequate, but others indicate increased protein needs. Although concerns have been raised ab...

PURPOSE To investigate the molecular basis of inherited retinal dysplasia in miniature Schnauzers. METHODS Retina and retinal pigment epithelial tissues were collected from canine subjects at the age of 3 weeks. Total RNA isolated from these tissues was reverse transcribed to make representative cDNA pools that were compared for differences in gene expression by using a subtractive hybridizat...

This paper presents a novel and effective method for facial expression recognition including happiness, disgust, fear, anger, sadness, surprise, and neutral state. The proposed method utilizes a regularized discriminant analysis-based boosting algorithm (RDAB) with effective Gabor features to recognize the facial expressions. Entropy criterion is applied to select the effective Gabor feature wh...

The swinging up control for a remotely driven Acrobot (RDA) is studied and an energy based controller is designed via the Lyapunov stability theory. The analysis of convergence of the energy as well as the motion of the RDA under the controller is presented. The conditions on control parameters for achieving a successful swinging up control are given. Furthermore, simulation and experimental re...
