Purpose: Accurate and reliable measurement of patient-reported outcomes is crucial to ongoing practice improvement and clinical research in facial aesthetics. The FACE-Q is a new patient-reported outcome instrument (PRO) composed of numerous independently functioning scales and checklists designed to measure outcomes important to facial aesthetic patients. Here we describe the development and v...

In this paper, we proposed a new fast technique of face authentication based on extraction of a simple Statistical features derived from the image of face. Once the feature vector is extracted, we comparing it with the feature vector of face which is authenticated, and we calculated the error rates in the two sets of validation and test for the data base XM2VTS according to the protocol of Laus...

A steady-state one-dimensional axisymmetric numerical model of a mechanical seal in two-phase flow is presented. In this work non-linear thermal implemented using coupled (monolithic) approach, linking the fluid film and sealing rings. It solved for temperature fields solids, heat fluxes between fluids enthalpy fluid, vapor mass fraction, Newtons method. The novelty approach lies 1) coupling 2)...

BACKGROUND As the population ages, it is increasingly important to use effective short cognitive tests for suspected dementia. We aimed to review systematically brief cognitive tests for suspected dementia and report on their validation in different settings, to help clinicians choose rapid and appropriate tests. METHODS Electronic search for face-to-face sensitive and specific cognitive test...
