Beauty has been an intriguing issue since the evolving of a culture in mankind. Even the Neanderthals are believed to have applied makeover to enhance facial structures and thus underline beauty. The determinants of beauty and aesthetics have been defined by artists and scientists alike.

The Sparse BLAS

We discuss the interface design for the Sparse Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS), the kernels in the recent standard from the BLAS Technical Forum that are concerned with unstructured sparse matrices. The motivation for such a standard is to encourage portable programming while allowing for library-specific optimizations. In particular, we show how this interface can shield one from conce...

Zach The Epsilon Calculus and Herbrand Complexity

Hilbert’s ε-calculus is based on an extension of the language of predicate logic by a term-forming operator εx. Two fundamental results about the ε-calculus, the first and second epsilon theorem, play a rôle similar to that which the cut-elimination theorem plays in sequent calculus. In particular, Herbrand’s Theorem is a consequence of the epsilon theorems. The paper investigates the epsilon t...

Soft tissue facial profile and anteroposterior lip positioning in Iranians

  Objective: Since orthodontic and orthognathic treatment planningin each ethnic group must be done according to the soft tissue facial characteristicsregarded as beauty,they thus vary from country to country.The main purpose of this articlewas to determine the mean range of the middle third of soft tissue facial profile and anteroposterior lip positioningusing 3angular and 2 linear measurement...
