In this work we have built a face recognition system using a new method based on recent advances in compressed sensing theory. The authors propose a method for recognizing faces that is robust to certain types and levels of occlusion. They also present tests that allow to assess the incidence of the proposed method. Face detection and recognition are issues that are being widely studied due to ...

PURPOSE Cancer is an increasingly important health problem, and is second only to cardiovascular disease as cause of death. Cancer diagnosis causes significant changes in patients and their families, and social relationships are affected. For this reason, we examined the lives of patients subsequent to their diagnosis and sought to determine any changes in their lifestyles. METHODS Between Ma...

we report the direct soft chemical synthesis and characterization of a family of face centered cubic (fcc) and partially ordered face centered tetragonal (fct) fept nanoparticles (nps) suitable for biomedical applications. both fcc and partially ordered fct-fept nps are synthesized by employing a simple polyol method. by using polyvinyl pyrolidone (pvp) as a stabilizer in various ratios during ...

BACKGROUND Out-of-hours primary care (OOH-PC) is intended to provide medical care services for health problems that cannot wait until normal office hours. Children under five years of age represent about 19% of all OOH-PC contacts in Denmark, and the frequency of calls assessed as severe by health professionals is markedly lower for children than for other age groups. Several studies have quest...

BACKGROUND Hearing loss can affect approximately 15% of the pediatric population and up to 40% of the adult population. The gold standard of treatment for hearing loss is amplification of hearing thresholds by means of a hearing aid instrument. A hearing aid is an electronic device equipped with a topology of only three major components of aggregate cost. The gold standard of hearing aid fittin...
