Regularization is a method used in mathematics and statistics to deal with insufficient information. The reader must supply additional information in the form of an operator. From where is this operator to come, and what does it mean? It amounts to us, as practitioners, specifying a “style” of model. Where the model is a signal or an image, it amounts to specifying one weighting function in phy...

This exploratory paper argues that pleasure-oriented product development with manufacturing flexibility is the next challenge of mass customization if seeking pleasure is the nature of mankind. Preferable product style of a fashion trend is widely accepted to visually enhance a product to satisfy today’s consumer demands. Considerable work remains to be done to integrate product styling (proces...

The perming of hair is a common styling procedure with negative impact on the overall properties fibers. Usually, this process uses harsh chemicals to promote disruption disulfide bonds and formation new change shape hair. Here, we explored bovine serum albumin (BSA), silk fibroin (SF), keratin two fusion recombinant proteins (KP-UM KP-Cryst) as agents. A phosphate buffer prepared at different ...

Hair care in African American women is wrought with historical and cultural issues. Dermatologists need to improve their understanding of hair and scalp disorders in their African American patient population by being informed about the styling methods commonly used by and for these patients. The styling habits described in this article are intended to encompass the hairstyles adapted by a wide ...

FOA [Formatting Object Authoring] is an open-source authoring tool that applies rich styling to XML content. It allows the styling to be re-used across multiple documents. It also allows the author to build or import a library of style components. It is based on XSL-FO, the W3C-defined markup language, whose aim is to add rich styling to XML content, especially for paginated documents. The arch...

The interactive styling and rendering of virtual hair is essential for creating realistic looking human avatars for use in computer games, virtual worlds, and movie special effects. Hair models can contain tens of thousands of hair strands and hence it is important to develop techniques to modify the hair in a realistic fashion and to render it at interactive frame rates. In this paper we prese...

Creative tools are proposed that allow color stylists to take advantage of their training in the art and design fields. A simple reflection model is employed that has the minimum number of free parameters required to design solid and metallic color finishes from conceptualization to fabrication. The parameters correspond to color specification terms familiar to designers such as face color, flo...

In order to meet customers’ demand for perceptual cognition of product form, this paper proposes method to optimize the design of product form based on supporting vector and artificial fish swarm algorithm. First, determine features of targets, representative samples and modeling design parameters for product perceptual design survey; and then, use supporting vector to obtain the mapping relati...
