Human Body via Art

Embalming: an art of preserving human body.

Human Body Posture via Hierarchical Evolutionary Optimization

This paper presents an evolutionary approach to estimating upper-body posture from multi-view markerless sequences. We fit a 24-dof skeleton model to sparse 3-D stereo data from an array of cameras. We use a particle swarm optimization algorithm which is intrinsically parallel, can incorporate constraints and does not require motion models. We subdivide the high-dimensional search space based o...

Chemical Engineering via Art

The major aim of this article is to demonstrate via art different aspects of Chemical Engineering. This is a new approach developed by the author to describe scientific and engineering subjects via art, thus making them more understandable and easy to percept. The author has reached this conclusion after teaching several times a course on “The Interaction Between Art and Science” as well as wri...

A different body: diagnostic imaging and body art.

An important dimension to the 20th century becoming a “biologic era” had been the development of diagnostic imaging. It began at the end of the 19th century, when Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) discovered x-rays; he was awarded the Nobel Prize for this in 1901 (1 ). George Ansell and Joseph Rotblat, working in Liverpool, visualized the thyroid in 1948, using radioiodine. The American engineer Hal ...

I-7: Human Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation:State of The ART

In recent years, advances in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood, adolescent and adult cancer have significantly improved the survival rate and life expectancy of cancer patients. However, chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments are gonadotoxic and may induce the loss of ovarian function and fertility with consequent premature ovarian failure (POF). A number of factors determine the level...
