BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fer kinase is activated by a number of growth factors and cytokines, and phosphorylates cortactin during cell shape change induced cortical actin reorganisation. In addition, Fer participates in cytoskeletal interactions mediated by cadherins, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1), and integrins, and has recently been implicated in limiting the innate immun...

Facial occlusion is a challenging research topic in facial expression recognition (FER). This has resulted in the need to develop some interesting facial representations and occlusion detection methods in order to extend the FER to uncontrolled environments. It should be noted that most of the previous work focuses on these two issues separately, and on static images. We are thus motivated to p...

Facial expression recognition (FER) is one of the most important methods influencing human-machine interaction (HMI). In this paper, a comparison was made between two models, model that built from scratch and trained on FER dataset only, previously data set containing various images, which VGG16 model, then reset using dataset. The FER+ augmented to be used in training phases proposed models. m...

Abstract Facial expression recognition (FER) is utilized in various fields that analyze facial expressions. FER attracting increasing attention for its role improving the convenience human life. It widely applied human–computer interaction tasks. However, recently, tasks have encountered certain data and training issues. To address these issues FER, few-shot learning (FSL) has been researched a...

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect different supplementation conditions on fatigue and performance in flywheel half-squat tests senior men. Sixteen active males (age: 22.8±4.9 years; body mass index: 23.7±2.4 kgm-2) participated intervention during a 4-week period. Four experimental were established using double-blind design: placebo, caffeine (CAF), beetroot juice (BRJ), combined...

BackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease that disrupts several social cognitive abilities, including the theory of mind (ToM) and facial emotion recognition (FER). It unclear how specific ToM subcomponents, affective ToM, are affected in patients with MS abilities subtypes.MethodsA search PubMed, Web Science, Embase databases was conducted until June 2020. E...

<span>Sentiment analysis based on images is an evolving area of study. Developing a reliable facial expression recognition (FER) device remains difficult challenge as recognizing emotional feelings reflected in image dependent diverse set factors. This paper presented ensemble-based model for FER that incorporates multiple classification models: i) customized convolutional neural network ...
