Introduction: Communicating Reproduction

Introduction: Communicating Reproduction.

Communication should be central to histories of reproduction, because it has structured how people do and do not reproduce. Yet communication has been so pervasive, and so various, that it is often taken for granted and the historical specificities overlooked. Making communication a frame for histories of reproduction can draw a fragmented field together, including by putting the promotion of e...

Analysis and Reproduction of Facial Expressions for Realistic Communicating Clones

This paper presents a novel view-based approach to quantify and reproduce facial expressions, by systematically exploiting the degrees of freedom allowed by a realistic face model. This approach embeds e cient mesh morphing and texture animations to synthesize facial expressions. We suggest using eigenfeatures, built from synthetic images, and designing an estimator to interpret the responses o...

Analysis and reproduction of facial expressions for communicating clones

We present a novel view{based approach to quantify and reproduce facial expressions, by systematically exploiting the degrees of freedom allowed by a realistic face model, which embeds e cient mesh morphing and texture animations to synthesize facial expressions. For this purpose, we propose to use eigenfeatures, built from synthetic images, and design a linear estimator to interpret the respon...

Communicating vaccine safety during the development and introduction of vaccines.

Vaccines are the best defense available against infectious diseases. Vaccine safety is of major focus for regulatory bodies, vaccine manufacturers, public health authorities, health care providers and the public as vaccines are often given to healthy children and adults as well as to pregnant woman. Safety assessment is critical at all stages of vaccine development. Effective, clear and consist...
