Background: Applying modern method of infertility treatment must be necessarily based on the cultural and social norms of the community. The purpose of this study, is based on the deeper understanding of the perceptions and attitudes of infertile couples about the socio-cultural aspects of using modern technologies of embryo or egg donation. Materials and Methods: The data were collected from11...

We examined the neural response patterns for facial identity independent of viewpoint and for viewpoint independent of identity. Neural activation patterns for identity and viewpoint were collected in an fMRI experiment. Faces appeared in identity-constant blocks, with variable viewpoint, and in viewpoint-constant blocks, with variable identity. Pattern-based classifiers were used to discrimina...

The use of Viewpoints in requirements engineering is an emerging area of research. This paper establishes the context for viewpoint-based requirements engineering and then gives a critical review of the existing methods. A viewpoint method is seen here as a requirements engineering process of identifying viewpoints, reasoning within a viewpoint, reasoning between different viewpoints, and revis...

We produced morph sequences between identities at a variety of viewpoints, ranging from the three quarter leftward facing view, to the three quarter rightward facing view. We measured the strength of identity adaptation as a function of changing test viewpoint whilst keep the adaptation viewpoint constant, and as a function of adaptation viewpoint whilst keeping test viewpoint constant. Our res...
