BACKGROUND Facial emotion recognition (FER) is essential to guide social functioning and behaviour for interpersonal communication. FER may be altered in severe mental illness such as in psychosis and in borderline personality disorder patients. However, it is unclear if these FER alterations are specifically related to psychosis. Awareness of FER alterations may be useful in clinical settings ...

Fer kinase, a protein involved in the regulation of cell-cell adhesion and proliferation, has been shown to be required during invertebrate development and has been implicated in leukemia, gastric cancer, and liver cancer. However, in vivo roles for Fer during vertebrate development have remained elusive. In this study, we bridge the gap between the invertebrate and vertebrate realms by showing...

We here revisit expansion schemes used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for the calculation of effective Hamiltonians and propagators, namely, Magnus, Floquet, and Fer expansions. While all the expansion schemes are powerful methods there are subtle differences among them. To understand the differences, we performed explicit calculation for heteronuclear dipolar decoupling, cross-polarizatio...

BACKGROUND Identification of famous landmarks (FLI), famous faces (FFI) and recognition of facial emotions (FER) is affected early in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). FFI, FER and FLI may represent domain specific tasks relying on activation of distinct regions of the medial temporal lobe, which are affected successively during the course of AD. However, the data on FFI and FER in MCI ar...

In this paper a novel genetically-inspired learning method is proposed for face expression recognition (FER) in visible images. Unlike current research for FER that generally uses visually meaningful feature, we proposed a Genetic Programming based technique, which learns to discover composite operators and features that are evolved from combinations of primitive image processing operations. In...

While behavioural difficulties in facial emotion recognition (FER) have been observed in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), behavioural studies alone are not suited to elucidate the specific nature of FER challenges in ASD. Eye tracking (ET) and electroencephalography (EEG) provide insights in to the attentional and neurological correlates of performance, and may therefore provide...

The lateralization of emotion processing is currently debated and may be further explored by examining facial expression recognition (FER) impairments in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Furthermore, there is also debate in the literature whether FER deficits in individuals with TLE are more pronounced in the right than in the left hemisphere. Individuals with TLE were tested with an FER task desi...

One of the most important parameters that control reliability growth is the fault exposure ratio (FER) identi ed by Musa et al. It represents the average detectability of the faults in software. Other parameters that control reliability growth are software size and execution speed of the processor which are both easily evaluated. The fault exposure ratio thus presents a key challenge in our que...

We present laser-induced fluorescence velocimetry measurements obtained using the Xe I 6s[3/2]2 → 6p[3/2]2 transition at 823.4 nm (vacuum) and the Xe I 6s’[1/2]1 → 6p’[3/2]2 transition at 834.9 nm (vacuum) from the inside and in the near-field plume of a 6-kW Hall thruster. The thruster is operated under seven conditions with discharge voltages ranging from 150 to 600 V, and anode mass flow rat...
