This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics associated with conscious and non-conscious processing of naked and dressed human bodies. To this effect, stimuli of naked men and women with visible primary sexual characteristics, as well as dressed bodies, were presented to 20 heterosexual male and female participants while acquiring high resolution EEG data. The stimuli were either conscio...

Detection, tracking, segmentation and pose estimation of people in monocular images are widely studied. Two-dimensional models of the human body are extensively used, however, they are typically fairly crude, representing the body either as a rough outline or in terms of articulated geometric primitives. We describe a new 2D model of the human body contour that combines an underlying naked body...

We identify a time-dependent class of metrics with potential applications to cosmology, which emerge from negative-tension branes. The cosmology is based on a general class of solutions to Einstein-dilaton-Maxwell theory, presented in hep-th/0106120. We argue that solutions with hyperbolic or planar symmetry describe the gravitational interactions of a pair of negative-tension q-branes. These s...

We report the creation of Ge2Sb2Te5 metasurfaces on sapphire substrates by ablation method and study their structural properties scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force (AFM), optical diffraction. The main emphasis is technique, which boils down to obtaining bright Laue diffraction patterns a screen, observing them with naked eye, analyzing fine structure reflections. It has been demon...

in recent years, patterns of consumerism have dominated body like other areas of human life in a way that people who belong to different classes of society pay much more attention to their appearance. so people (especially women) try to conform to advertised beauty patterns with respect to their body, face and physical appearance, or probably try to change such features. therefore, paying much ...
