people use spiritual intelligence as spiritual capacities and resources for vital decision making and critical thinking in existential subjects or trying to solve daily problems. there is not a valid and reliable scale in this area which is developed based on islamic conceptualization. the aim of this study was defining spiritual intelligence, determining domains of it, and developing items and...

This paper proposes a scale invariant face detection method which combines higher-order local autocorrelation (HLAC) features extracted from a log-polar transformed image with linear discriminant analysis for \face" and \not face" classi cation. Since HLAC features of log-polar image are sensitive to shifts of a face, we utilize this property and develop a face detection method. HLAC features e...

A circuit of faces in a polyhedron is called a zone if each face is attached to its two neighbors by opposite edges. (For odd-sized faces, each edge has a left and a right opposite partner.) Zones are called alternating if, when odd faces (if any) are encountered, left and right opposite edges are chosen alternately. Zigzag (Petrie) circuits in cubic (= trivalent) polyhedra correspond to altern...

This paper provides a new approach to recognize facial expressions. In this paper, facial expression recognition is based on appearance based features or we can say that low level features. We used two different approaches to categories the expression into seven different classes. These classifications based on Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Local Gabor Binary Filter (LGBP). First...

This paper proposes a robust approach for face detection and gender classification in color images. Previous researches about gender recognition suppose an expensive computational and time-consuming pre-processing step in order to alignment in which face images are aligned so that facial landmarks like eyes, nose, lips, chin are placed in uniform locations in image. In this paper, a novel techn...

We aimed to evaluate the reliability of the modified Rankin Scale applied telephonically compared with face-to-face assessment in clinically stable hospitalized patients with acute stroke. One hundred and thirty-one patients were interviewed twice by 2 certified nurses (unstructured interview). Half of the patients were randomized to be interviewed by telephone followed by the face-to-face asse...
