background :soft tissue profile can be widely different in various populations. furthermore, this profile can be also continues to change throughout life. however, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the soft tissue profile in iranian population. in order to determine normal reference values of facial parts in our populations, we aimed to measure standards for facial soft tissue ...

It is argued that the high-Mg content (mg-number1⁄4 95 3) of the serpentine minerals in serpentinized peridotite is a consequence of the environmental FeMg 1 exchange potential imposed on the system by the abundance of olivine and orthopyroxene. Mass balance in the serpentinization reaction then requires the precipitation of an ironrich mineral that in most cases is magnetite.This causes hydrog...

Our aim was to determine the differences in the esthetic preferences of Iranian patients, dentists, and orthodontists with regard to facial profile esthetics. Materi...

many researchers adopt local binary pattern for pattern analysis. however, the long histogram created by local binary pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. this paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
