the skin is the largest tissue of man with several functions. cosmetics/cosmeceuticals agents always are needed to be evaluated for their detrimental effects on the skin. nowadays, the therapeutic potential of stem cells has and fibroblasts have increased the hope for a successful cell therapy in aesthetic medicine. stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell ...

The relationship between language and culture has become a rich source of inquiry in the context of English language teaching. Learning materials can depict cultural content in different cultural senses, namely aesthetic, sociological, semantic, and pragmatic. The present study aimed to investigate the way cultural aspects are represented in the reading and dialog sections of global (American E...

Texture is an essential factor for human aesthetic perception. We investigate the relationship between computational texture features and the perceived and aesthetic properties of visual textures, obtained from a psychological experiment. We use linear feature selection and neural networks to extract a set of 8 texture features which are capable of predicting 6 perceived and aesthetic properties.

BACKGROUND Aesthetic results following breast reconstruction have been shown to be a major contributor to patient satisfaction. While many presume that complications after reconstruction impact final aesthetic results, little data exist to substantiate this putative relationship. OBJECTIVE To track and evaluate aesthetic outcomes following implant reconstructions with complications. METHODS...

BACKGROUND Aesthetic skeletal surgery of the face is a powerful tool to alter the facial skeleton; the facial form is enhanced through the use of alloplastic implants and osteotomies of the facial bones. However, the ultimate aesthetic appearance is dictated by how the soft tissue envelope drapes over the altered skeletal foundation. Intraoperative and postoperative fat grafting enhances the fi...

An important aspect of screen design is aesthetic evaluation of screen layouts. However, no one knows how to measure aesthetic value. This article proposes a theoretical approach to capturing the essence of the artists’ insight. We introduce several aesthetic measures for graphic screens. The results of our informal study demonstrate close relationships between artistic vision and the proposed ...

Current technology systems, focusing in product design, do not provide a complete creative environment. This paper proposes the ‘fusion’ of artificial agents and human designers in a synthetic environment for aesthetic product design. Computational models alone cannot fulfil the cycle of aesthetic product design because they are unable to evaluate variables related to aesthetic features of prod...
