Since a human object is an important element of the moving pictures being processed by mobile terminals, establishing a human object extraction method encourages dissemination of new applications. In accordance with the requirement of mobile applications, this paper proposes a low-cost human object extraction method, which consists of a face object and a hair object extraction based on their co...

Abstract Basic Brown 16 pigment and three types of surfactants were used to prepare the cationic, nonionic, anionic basic hair dyes. White bleached dyed using dyes shampooed 10 times acidic, neutral, alkaline shampoos prepared in study. with dye resulted a lower L *, b * values K/S compared cationic nonionic results statistically significant at α = 0.05. Hair showed significantly higher Δ E ab ...

In a computer-aided system for skin cancer diagnosis, hair removal is one of the main challenges to face before applying process automatic lesion segmentation and classification. this paper, we propose straightforward method detect remove from dermoscopic images. Preliminarily, regions consider as candidate border/corner components located on image frame are automatically detected. Then, determ...

We identified the genetic variants for eye color by Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) in a Dutch Caucasian family-based population sample and examined the genetic correlation between hair and eye color using data from unrelated participants from the Netherlands Twin Register. With the Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis software package, we found strong genetic correlations between various co...

The relationships between MC1R gene variants and red hair, skin reflectance, degree of freckling and nevus count were investigated in 2331 adolescent twins, their sibs and parents in 645 twin families. Penetrance of each MC1R variant allele was consistent with an allelic model where effects were multiplicative for red hair but additive for skin reflectance. Of nine MC1R variant alleles assayed,...

BACKGROUND Hairdressers are occupationally and personally exposed to hair dye substances and adverse reactions from the skin are well known. Currently, little is known about personal exposure to hair dye ingredients and temporary black tattoos. OBJECTIVES To investigate hairdressers' professional and personal risk exposures and to compare the frequency of temporary tattoos among hairdressers ...

present study is aimed to quantify the protection factor of UV filters and antioxidant containing hair care products. Most of the techniques used to define oxidative damage to hair structures are focused on the macromolecular hair structure properties. Table 1 lists some of the most widely used endpoints to measure oxidative damage and UV protection in hair care. Color is perhaps the most obvio...

OBJECTIVE To study the long-term outcome of adverse effects reported by persons who used a commercial hair-straightening product known as the Rio Hair Naturalizer System (World Rio Corporation). DESIGN Survey of individuals who contacted the Food and Drug Administration in 1994 and 1995 to report adverse effects linked to using the product. SETTING Persons residing in the United States. P...
