there have been sparse reports in literature of avulsion and degloving injuries of individual areas of face like the nose, eyelids, ear and even mandible. hemi-facial degloving is extremely rare. we present a case of post-assault degloving of the nose, part of forehead with anterior wall of frontal sinus, entire upper and lower eyelids and the cheek. proper planning and staging of the surgical ...

abstract background: pregnancy can be in conflict with sexual function which can be affected by physical and psychological changes during pregnancy. therefore, comparison of the effect of face‑to‑face education with group education on sexual function during pregnancy in couples was the purpose of this research. materials and methods: in this quasi‑experimental pre‑test post‑test study, 64 pregn...

1] demonstrates that simple schematic faces evoke neural responses comparable to those evoked by photographic face stimuli. The authors argue that this shows that schematic visual stimuli may still validly represent face processing, although it has been argued that such non-photographic faces lack many of the visual properties of the human face. In this commentary I would like to elaborate on t...

cephalometry is an important branch of anthropology in which the dimensions of head and face can be determined. these dimensions are used to show indexes for studying brain growth and formation of all types of head and face. indexes are vary from 65 to 95 for head and 65 to105 for face, which are used to determine 4 international anatomic types of head and 5 international anatomic types of face...

Microproblematica are microfossils whose suprageneric taxonomic status is unknown. Many microproblematica display an encrusting way of life and can therefore be included in the group of “micro-encrusters” that during the Upper Jurassic were conspicuous components of microbial carbonate crusts (e.g. LEINFELDER et al., 1993; SCHMID, 1996; DUPRAZ & STRASSER, 1999, 2002). These forms are widespread...

We tried using several local and global features for the TRECVID 2011 instance search task. From last year’s experience, we understood that face features were effective for this task. So we tried using a well-known face recognition algorithm for this task, and obtained better results for certain topics. Unfortunately our runs included some bugs, so the results were worse than last year’s. Our b...

This paper proposes a novel method for video-based real time face recognition. The proposed method uses motion information to detect the face region, and the region is processed in color space to determine the location of the eyes. The system extracts only the gray level features relative to the location of the eyes. Autoassociative Neural Network (AANN) model is used to capture the distributio...

This paper presents an implementation of a system designed for location of human faces and facial features such as pupils, eyes, nose and mouth. The kernel of the system is an integration of several algorithms, such as human face center -of-gravity template, illumination compensation, and so on . A false-face removal algorithm is proposed in this paper especially for the distinguish ing of cart...

Ten junior doctors with no postgraduate anaesthetic experience attempted to ventilate the lungs of 50 anaesthetized patients, using either a laryngeal mask or a Guedel airway and face mask. Success was defined as the production of two successive tidal volumes exceeding 800 ml within 40 s. The failure rate was significantly greater using the laryngeal mask compared with the face mask (P < 0.05) ...

In this paper, a proposed face recognition technique for still images is developed and evaluated. It employs wavelet decomposition as a preprocessing step. Then, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) approach is applied on the second level approximation subband to extract the main features of the face. Finally, Probabilistic Radial Basis Function Neural Network (PRBF NN) is used for the image clas...
