In order to build a fully automated system that analyzes the information in face image, there is a need for robust and efficient face detection algorithms. One of the fastest and most successful approaches in this field was presented by Viola. In this paper, Viola approach is used as the basis algorithm in order to propose a new efficient face detection system. Using Haar-like features for faci...

Her comments on my work cover a rich variety of topics. I won't try to comment on everything she has to say, but she has focused on a number of issues that I have also thought about and think are important. Broadly speaking we do agree, I believe, about the role of models in the philosophy of science and also in various parts of science as well. I have several comments, so I will highlight each...

Embedded systems such as mobile phones, handheld computer systems, robots etc., are becoming increasingly more important in our daily lives. There are countless examples of embedded systems on which it is feasible to have a robust face detector. For example to increase the interaction between a human and a robot, a first step for the robot could be to detect the face of the human it interacts w...

BACKGROUND The present study was aimed to provide ethnopharmacological basis for the medicinal use of Viola betonicifolia whole plant in indigestion and constipation. METHODS Mice were used in in-vivo prokinetic and laxative studies while in-vitro experiments were conducted on isolated tissues of rabbit and guinea-pig gut preparations suspended in a tissue bath to measure isotonic contraction...

background :    searching for the potent natural antibiotics will improve the treatment of most infectious diseases. cyclotides are potent active peptides derived from some plant families like violaceae. viola tricolor (the pansy) has been found to have numerous cyclotides. nowadays cyclotides attract more attention for their antibacterial activities.  the current research studied the antimicro...

The aim of this research project was to determine the extent to which neck pain is present in violin/viola players and to investigate if fine motor control and dexterity are influenced by dysfunctions as such. This is important to know as impairments in dexterity are expected to have an impact on motor control in violin/viola playing and contribute to a decrease in performance excellence. Playi...
