When seeking for small local patterns it is very intricate to distinguish between incidental agglomeration of noisy points and true local patterns. We propose a new algorithm [2] that addresses this problem by exploiting temporal information which is contained in most business data sets. The algorithm enables the detection of local patterns in noisy data sets more reliable compared to the case ...

In this paper we present a preliminary study for designing interactive systems that are sensible to human emotions based on the body movements. To do so, we first review the literature on the various approaches for defining and characterizing human emotions. After justifying the adopted characterization space for emotions, we then focus on the movement characteristics that must be captured by t...

objective: attempts to treat class ii malocclusions without extraction in non-compliant patients have led to utilization of intraoral molar distalizing appliances. the purpose of this study was to investigate dental and skeletal effects of bonded molar distalizer (bmd) which is a simple molar distalizing appliance. materials and methods: sixteen patients (12 girls, four boys) with bilateral hal...
