Aesthetic-Driven Image Enhancement by Adversarial Learning

We introduce EnhanceGAN, an adversarial learning based model that performs automatic image enhancement. Traditional image enhancement frameworks involve training separate models for automatic cropping or color enhancement in a fully-supervised manner, which requires expensive annotations in the form of image pairs. In contrast to these approaches, our proposed EnhanceGAN only requires weak supe...

Enhancement of Natural Convection Heat Transfer in Annular Enclosures

Natural convection heat transfer was investigated experimentally in a concentric-cylinders annulus. To enhance the rate of heat transfer, pin fins were installed on the surface of the inner cylinder. Two fin arrangements were employed, namely, staggered and in-line arrangements. The length of the fins varied from 2 to 8 cm and the Rayleigh number Ra changed in the range from 5 x 105  to 5 x 106...

Botulinum Toxin in Aesthetic Medicine: Myths and Realities

BACKGROUND Several formulations of Botulinum toxin serotype A (BoNT-A) for aesthetic indications are available, with numbers likely to increase. Preparations are not interchangeable, based on dose unit comparisons. OBJECTIVE Numerous myths and misconceptions regarding the use of BoNT-A for aesthetic indications have arisen, which this review aims to lay to rest. MATERIALS AND METHODS This r...
