In this paper, we propose a new supervised learning algorithm, which is named the Generalized Marginal Fisher Analysis (GMFA), to utilize the advantages of the Marginal Fisher Analysis (MFA) and the Generalized Singular Value Decomposition (GSVD) techniques for face recognition. The experimental results on several standard face databases demonstrate that GMFA outperforms LDA/Fisherface, LDA/GSV...

13C metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is a tool of metabolic engineering for investigation of in vivo flux distribution. A direct 13C enrichment analysis of intracellular free amino acids (FAAs) is expected to reduce time for labeling experiments of the MFA. Measurable FAAs should, however, vary among the MFA experiments since the pool sizes of intracellular free metabolites depend on cellular meta...

Steady-state (13)C metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is currently the experimental method of choice for generating flux maps of the compartmented network of primary metabolism in heterotrophic and mixotrophic plant tissues. While statistically robust protocols for the application of steady-state MFA to plant tissues have been developed by several research groups, the implementation of the method is...

PURPOSE Retinal dystrophy through outer photoreceptor cell death affects 1 in 2,500 people worldwide with severe impairment of vision in advanced stages of the disease. Optogenetic strategies to restore visual function to animal models of retinal degeneration by introducing photopigments to neurons spared degeneration in the inner retina have been explored, with variable degrees of success. It ...

Background and aim: Maternal concept is part of the feminine gender role. The important part of the maternal concept is the unique relationship experience between mother and child that begins with  maternal-fetal attachment(MFA) during pregnancy. The aim of this study is predict the MFA according to Gender role in pregnant women in Shiraz city. Methods:This descriptive correlational study was c...

Noise-corrupted signals and images can be reconstructed by minimization of a Hamiltonian. Often this Hamiltonian is a non-convex functional. The solution of minimum energy can then be approximated by the Graduated Non-Convexity (GNC) algorithm developed for the weak membrane by Blake and Zisserman. The GNC approximates the non-convex functional by a convex functional, and varies the solution sp...
