Expressive Faces Confuse Identity

We used highly variable, so-called 'ambient' images to test whether expressions affect the identity recognition of real-world facial images. Using movie segments of two actors unknown to our participants, we created image pairs - each image within a pair being captured from the same film segment. This ensured that, within pairs, variables such as lighting were constant whilst expressiveness dif...

CONFUSE: LLVM-based Code Obfuscation

In the past decade, code obfuscation techniques have become increasingly popular due to their wide applications on malware and the numerous violations of intellectual property caused by reverse engineering. In this work, we examine common techniques used for code obfuscation and provide an outline of the design principles of our tool Confuse. Confuse is an LLVM tool which modifies the standard ...

Multiple inhalers confuse asthma patients.

This study investigated the influence of the use of different types of inhalers on the adequacy of inhalation technique among adult asthmatics. Three hypotheses were tested: first, patients using only one type of inhaler will demonstrate adequate inhalation technique more often than those with two or more types. Secondly, patients using a combination of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) will demonstra...
