Web services designed for human users are being abused by computer programs (bots). The bots steal thousands of free email accounts in a minute, participate in online polls to skew results, and irritate people in chat rooms. These real-world issues have recently generated a new research area called Human Interactive Proofs (HIP), whose goal is to defend web services from malicious attacks by di...

This work explains the development of a novel approach to beautify a face, merging an evolutionary approach and aesthetics graph drawing. The objective of this work is to build a beautify face seen against the input face. The aesthetics graph drawing algorithm works as the mutation operator. The approach of force-directed graph drawing which in turn is the solution to aesthetical graph drawing ...

The utility of the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) in localizing lesions has not been thoroughly examined to date. In the present study, six scoring systems (Freedman et al., 1994; Ishiai, Sugishita, Ichikawa, Gono, & Watabiki, 1993; Mendez, Ala, & Underwood, 1992; Rouleau, Salmon, Butters, Kennedy, & McGuife, 1992; Sunderland et al., 1989; Tuokko, Hadjistavropoulos, Miller, & Beattie, 1992; Watson, A...

The human figure drawing test as a psychodiagnostic method has been used for almost 100 years. During this period it gained its supporters and opponents. can be approached in several ways that have historically developed. aim of work is to present interpretative paradigms (complex evaluation systems), which different theoretical backgrounds well interpreting the results. Each approaches – perfo...

INTRODUCTION Olfactory dysfunction is an early and common symptom in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Recently, the relation between olfactory dysfunction and cognitive loss in IPD has been reported. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relation between olfactory dysfunction and cognitive impairments in early IPD related with this theory. METHODS In this study, we included 28 patien...

Abstract The contribution of motor efficiency to the maintenance psychological well-being in cognitively impaired older individuals is still insufficiently examined. This investigation primarily intended evaluate whether muscular strength mediates relationship between different facets (i.e., personal satisfaction, emotional competence, coping), negative mood, and central executive through Clock...

Neural processes for naturalistic drawing might be discerned into object recognition and analysis, attention processes guiding eye hand interaction, encoding of visual features in an allocentric reference frame, a transfer into the motor command and precise motor guidance with tight sensorimotor feedback. Cerebral representations in a real life paradigm during naturalistic drawing have sparsely...
