ExCuSe: Robust Pupil Detection in Real-World Scenarios
The reliable estimation of the pupil position is one the most important prerequisites in gaze-based HMI applications. Despite the rich landscape of image-based methods for pupil extraction, tracking the pupil in real-world images is highly challenging due to variations in the environment (e.g. changing illumination conditions, reflection, etc.), in the eye physiology or due to variations relate...
متن کامل$(-1)$-Weak Amenability of Second Dual of Real Banach Algebras
Let $ (A,| cdot |) $ be a real Banach algebra, a complex algebra $ A_mathbb{C} $ be a complexification of $ A $ and $ | | cdot | | $ be an algebra norm on $ A_mathbb{C} $ satisfying a simple condition together with the norm $ | cdot | $ on $ A$. In this paper we first show that $ A^* $ is a real Banach $ A^{**}$-module if and only if $ (A_mathbb{C})^* $ is a complex Banach $ (A_mathbb{C})^{...
متن کاملDefining hormesis.
Much confusion surrounds the concept of hormesis and what its biological meaning represents. This paper provides a definition of hormesis that addresses its historical foundations, quantitative features, and underlying evolutionary and toxicologically based mechanistic strategies. Hormesis should be considered an adaptive response characterized by biphasic dose responses of generally similar qu...
متن کاملHow Good is This Excuse
Utilizing studies which validate voter turnout, previous researchers have been able to identify a strong tendency for individuals to report voting when they in fact did not. In this paper, we assess the effectiveness of a new turnout question on reducing voter over-reporting in the National Election Study. Providing respondents with socially acceptable excuses for not voting, we find that this ...
متن کاملRadiation Hormesis
The word “hormesis” is derived from the Greek word “hormaein” meaning: “to excite,” which is the origin of the word “hormone.” In 1902, the English physiologist, E. Starling, discovered that an acid extract from the human duodenum contained a substance designated as secretin that, when discharged into the bloodstream, stimulated the pancreas to release its secretions when food has passed throug...
