While face and facial feature detection is an important and popular problem in image processing and algorithm development, the work presented here is far less important. Here I attempt to build on existing methods of face detection and facial feature detection in order to automate and customize an old practical joke where one scribbles facial hair onto a picture of friends, celebrities, or even...

The thesis comprises five principle research chapters presented as articles (chapters 2-6) detailing both experimental and field studies on microbial interaction with mineral surfaces. Chapters 2, 3, 4 are articles that detail the results and conclusions of the experimental work on fungal behavior and involvement in mineral alteration and “diagenesis” of natural mineral substrates. Chapter 5 pr...

Introduction: Aqueous fluids have left their fingerprint on almost all the known chondrite groups and attest to the fact that water was a widespread agent of change in the early solar system [1,2]. The interaction of liquid or gaseous water with the primary products of nebular processes caused significant textural, mineralogical, compositional and isotopic changes that are often very complex to...

Magnetic susceptibility was measured for 700 samples of drill core from thirteen drill holes in the porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit of the Stinkingwater mining district in the Absaroka Mountains, Wyoming. The magnetic susceptibility measurements, chemical analyses, and alteration class provided a database for study of magnetic susceptibility in these altered rocks. The distribution of the ma...

Patch context is a way to describe the effect that the surroundings exert on a landscape patch. Despite anthropogenic context alteration may affect species distributions by reducing the accessibility to suitable patches, species distribution modelling have rarely accounted for its effects explicitly. We propose a general framework to statistically detect the occurrence and the extent of such a ...
