This study aims at analyzing the characteristics of the food need in the area of Jombang and Probolinggo regencies as well as developing a model of local superiority-based policy to achieve the food security. This study employs descriptive qualitative approach. This study is carried out in eight months in March to October 2015. The respondent of the study is the governmental staff of Jombang an...

This paper introduces a new concept of LLE eigenface modelled by local linear embedding (LLE), and compares it with the traditional PCA eigenface from principle component analysis (PCA) on pose identity and face identity recognition through face classification. LLE eigenface is found outperforming PCA eigenface on the discrimination/recogntion of both face identity and pose identity. The superi...

The paper defines the notions of laughter, humour, ridicule and irony in terms of a cognitive model of communication and social action, and analyses some uses of irony and ridiculisation in an Italian trial of high political import, that has been seen as a “degradation ritual” of a whole political class. In ridiculisation, one remarks some lack of power of the other, that contrasts with some pr...

Several complete methods for solving linear Diophantine constraints have been proposed. They can handle innnite domains, but their pruning during search is relatively weak. In contrast to those, consistency techniques based constraint propagation provides stronger pruning and have been applied successfully to many combinatorial problems, but are limited to nite domains. This paper studies the c...

to comparison the photosynthetic parameters and leaf chlorophyll content and fluorescence of safflower (carthamus tinctorios l.) cultivars under salinity stress, a pot experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in summer 2011 in university of yasouj. first factor included four salinity levels (zero, 75, 150 and 225 mm (formed as 20 to 1...

A facial composite system is described for use in criminal investigations which has distinct advantages over current methods. Unlike traditional feature based methods, our approach uses both local and global facial models, allowing a witness to evolve plausible, photo-realistic face images in an intuitive way. The basic method combines random sampling from a facial appearance model (AM) with an...
