In this paper we describe the application of the Golden Ratio to three-dimensional facial scans. The Golden Ratio is believed to be a blueprint for facial features that conform to beauty. Faces are scanned using the Minolta VI-700 range data scanner. The acquired 3D meshes are viewed and manipulated using 3DS Max and MAXScript. A Golden Mask, constructed based on the Golden Ratio is used to ind...

INTRODUCTION In orthodontics, facial esthetics is assumed to be related to golden proportions apparent in the ideal human face. The aim of the study was to analyze the putative relationship between facial esthetics and golden proportions in white adolescents. METHODS Seventy-six adult laypeople evaluated sets of photographs of 64 adolescents on a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 100. The f...

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

Golden Rice was engineered from normal rice by Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer in the 1990s to help improve human health. Golden Rice has an engineered multi-gene biochemical pathway in its genome [5]. This pathway produces beta-carotene, a molecule that becomes vitamin A when metabolized by humans [6]. Ingo Potrykus worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and ...

The golden hour is the time following an injury during which appropriate medical attention carries highest likelihood of a better outcome. concept was probably derived from French Military’s World war I data for care trauma victims, but it suitable all types acute emergencies. During these sixty minutes, health providers must focus on eliminating or mitigating effect critical events. If not tim...

The golden section, ϕ = (1 + √5)/2 = 1.618... and its companion ϕ = 1/ϕ = ϕ -1 = 0.618..., are irrational numbers which for centuries were believed to confer aesthetic appeal. In line with the presence of golden sectioning in natural growth patterns, recent EEG recordings show an absence of coherence between brain frequencies related by the golden ratio, suggesting the potential relevance of th...
