We propose a new, direct, correlation-free approach based on central moments of profiles to the asymptotics of width (size of the most abundant level) in some random trees of logarithmic height. The approach is simple but gives precise estimates for expected width, central moments of the width, and almost sure convergence. It is widely applicable to random trees of logarithmic height, including...

The gender recognition system with large sets of training sets for personal identification normally attains good accuracy. The features set are applied to three different applications: Pre-processing, Feature Extraction and Classification. The gender are classified on the basis of distance between eyebrow to eye, eyebrow to nose top, nose top to mouth, eye to mouth, left eye to right eye, width...

Introduction: Since palmaris longus tendon is the first choice for grafting, its anatomical variation is important. This study was designed to find the anatomical variations of this tendon in Iranian population by performing a study on cadaver. Method: In this study, 150 forearms belonged to 75 cadavers were studied. After exploring the proximal end of tendon, tendon width was measured at its p...

This paper presents a study of how exaggerated facial expression in the lower face region affects perception of emotion and the Uncanny Valley phenomenon in realistic, human-like, virtual characters. Characters communicated the six basic emotions, anger, disgust, fear, sadness and surprise with normal and exaggerated mouth movements. Measures were taken for perceived familiarity and human-liken...

introduction: raising the knowledge of skeletal and soft tissue changes with aging has been highly essential due to an increasing demand for aesthetic facial surgery following aging. the aim of this study is to evaluate the three dimensional computed tomographic images and process of changes in mandible with aging. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, the facial ct scans were obtai...

background and aim: it is well - known that sex hormones regulate bone metabolism. sex steroids increase osteoblasts activities and affect growth, remodeling and bone homeostasis. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of sex hormones deficiency on craniofacial growth in rats. methods & materials: fifty, thirty–day–old wistar rats comprised the sample in this experimental study. 25 ma...

Body weight and nine morphostructural characters (withers height, rump height, heart girth, body length, head width, cannon circumference, shoulder width, rump width and rump length) of 83 White Fulani cows aged 1.5-2.4 years old were used to study the problem of multicollinearity instability in the estimation of body weight from morphological indices. Pairwise phenotypic correlations indicated...

Facial characteristics are an important basis for judgements about gender, emotion, personality, motivational states and behavioural dispositions. Based on a recent finding of a sexual dimorphism in facial metrics that is independent of body size, we conducted three studies to examine the extent to which individual differences in the facial width-to-height ratio were associated with trait domin...
