Several studies have identified the importance of holistic information in face recognition. However, only few studies have investigated how it is influenced by changes of configuration. In Experiment 1, four faces were created by changing the distance between the eyes and the mouth. Participants evaluated the size of the face on three dimensions -- face length, face width and face range by usin...

The pathological changes of erythrocytes were detected at the nanometer scale, which was important for revealing the onset of diseases, early diagnosis, and effective therapies. Diseases may disturb the morphology and function of erythrocytes at molecular scale. There were dramatic surface deformations in topography of erythrocytes from a patient with elliptocytosis complicating idiopathic thro...

the tabriz fault in northwest of iran is the important geological structure in our country which historical earthquakes were recorded around it. the purpose of this paper is the study of tabriz fault seismotectonic activity. the method of research is drawing 23 cross section vertical to tabriz fault between tabriz and bostan-abad distinguish mountain-front faceting, mountain-front sinuosity and...

The Rembrandt basin is crosscut by the largest fault scarp on Mercury, Enterprise Rupes, and a second scarp complex, Belgica Rupes, extends to the basin’s rim. Topographic data derived fromMESSENGER orbital stereo images show that these tectonic landforms bound a broad, relatively flat-floored valley with a mean width of ~400 km. Crosscutting relations suggest that the accumulation of structura...

OBJECTIVE To statistically analyze the long-term results of alar base reduction after rhinoplasty. METHODS Among a consecutive series of 100 rhinoplasty cases, 19 patients required alar base reduction. The mean (SD) follow-up time was 11 (9) months (range, 2 months to 3 years). Using preoperative and postoperative photographs, comparisons were made of the change in the base width (width of ba...

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 random trees of logarithmic height. The approach is simple but gives very 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...
