3D facial landmarks are known to be diagnostically relevant biometrics for many genetic syndromes.The objective of this study was to extend a state-of-the-art image-based 2D facial landmarking algorithm for the challenging task of 3D landmark identification on subjects with genetic syndromes, who often have moderate to severe facial dysmorphia.The
In this study, a two-dimensional depth-integrated non-hydrostatic wave model is developed.The model solves the governing equations with hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic pressure separately.The velocities under hydrostatic pressure conditions are firstly obtained and then modified using the biconjugate gradient stabilized method.The hydrostatic front
The paper examines a complex of figurative meanings of the entomonym “abelha” (“bee”), manifested in the space of the Portuguese poetic text of the 19th–20th centuries.The purpose of the work is to trace the transformation of the image and its semantic increments.We used methods of contextual, stylistic, semantic analy
Abstract In this work, we assess the reproducibility and prognostic value of CT-derived radiomic features for resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Two radiologists contoured tumour regions on pre-operative CT of two cohorts from two institutions undergoing curative-intent surgical resection for PDAC.The first (n = 30) and second cohor
Distinguishing between a fair and unfair tackle in soccer can be difficult.For referees, choosing to call a foul often requires a decision despite some level of ambiguity.We were interested in whether a well documented perceptual-motor bias associated with reading direction influenced foul judgments.Prior studies have shown that readers of left-to-
