The Effect of Linear and Angular Midline Deviation on Smile Attractiveness Regarding Facial Height

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate ordinary people`s perception about smile attractiveness in long face and short face subjects with linear and angular midline deviations. Methods: Frontal facial smiling images of two young Iranian females (one short face and one long face) were manipulated by Adobe Photoshop CS3 software. Four photos with different linear midline deviations to right (1mm, 2mm, 3mm and 4mm) and four photos with counter clockwise angular midline deviation (2˚, 6˚, 10˚, 14˚) were produced. Sixty Iranian individuals (30 males and 30 females) were asked to determine from which photo on, they found that the smile is unattractive. Results: Unlike angular midline deviation, there was no statistically significant difference in the acceptability limitation for linear midline deviation between long face and short face subjects. The mean of unattractive limitation for angular midline deviation was 8.44˚ and 6.56˚ in long face and short face subjects, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found in ratings between male and female examiners. Conclusion: Angular midline deviation is more acceptable in long face people. On the other hand, the attractiveness of the two facial types is similarly affected by linear midline deviation

Árboles del Santuario Histórico de Machu Picchu: Monitoreo de diversidad y carbono a largo plazo

Entender cómo la riqueza, diversidad y almacenamiento de carbono varían y se distribuyen a través de una gradiente altitudinal en los bosques montanos andinos es fundamental para entender cómo estos bosques se están adaptando a los efectos del calentamiento global. Exploraciones botánicas y colecciones generales fueron realizadas en el Santuario Histórico de Machu Picchu (SHM) desde los 1600 a 4200 m.s.n.m. Además, se establecieron dos parcelas permanentes de 1.0 ha en los sectores de Intipunku (SHM–01) a 2653 msnm y Kantupata (SHM–02) a 3200 msnm, con la metodología estandarizada de RAINFOR en el año 2013, y fueron remedidas en el 2016. Las determinaciones indican que existen 364 especies en el Santuario Histórico de Machu Picchu, incluyendo las especies silvestres como cultivadas, helechos arborescentes y palmeras. En los últimos años, cuatro especies nuevas para la ciencia cuyas colecciones tipo son provenientes de los bosques del SHM fueron descritas: Ocotea alveata van der Werff, Ocotea mollivillosa van der Werff (Lauraceae), Bunchosia cuscana W.R. Anderson (Malpighiaceae), Ficus machupicchuensis C.C. Berg (Moraceae). En las dos parcelas permanentes se registraron un total de 69 especies en 1286 individuos. Individualmente en la parcela SHM–01 se registraron 26 familias, 36 géneros y 45 especies en 682 individuos; y en la parcela SHM–02: 22 familias, 28 géneros y 31 especies en 604 individuos. La biomasa aérea almacenada fue mayor en el sector cuyas colecciones tipo son provenientes de los bosques del SHM fueron descritas: Ocotea alveata van der Werff, Ocotea mollivillosa van der Werff (Lauraceae), Bunchosia cuscana W.R. Anderson (Malpighiaceae), Ficus machupicchuensis C.C. Berg (Moraceae). En las dos parcelas permanentes se registraron un total de 69 especies en 1286 individuos. Individualmente en la parcela SHM–01 se registraron 26 familias, 36 géneros y 45 especies en 682 individuos; y en la parcela SHM–02: 22 familias, 28 géneros y 31 especies en 604 individuos. La biomasa aérea almacenada fue mayor en el sector Intipunku (146 Mg ha ) que en el sector de Kantupata (101 Mg ha ). Nuestras investigaciones demuestran que los bosques Andinos de Machu Picchu proveen importantes servicios ecosistémicos y presentan un gran potencial para nuevas investigaciones científicas.

A Preliminary Study: Marine Biogeography of Nautilus in the Bangka Belitung Seas, Indonesia

Nautilus is the only surviving genus whose members were numerous and widely dispersed in the oceans throughout the Jurassic and Miocene times. It represents the only living member from the Family Nautilidae and is often considered as a living fossil. Nautilus is found with high biodiversity in Ambon, Indonesia, and were in special cases even found in Bangka Belitung, far from their original habitat. This study aimed to understand the historical component of the habitat and distribution of Nautilus in Bangka Belitung and to determine the depth, temperature, current, and environmental heterogeneity relate to Nautilus. Nautilus samples were found in Bangka Belitung Seas nearby a crack region at 50–75 m deep while the optimal depth of the Nautilus was 150–300 m, depending on the local area. The locations in the Bangka Belitung Seas where Nautilus found have sea surface temperatures between 30-31°C and 27-28°C during the East Monsoon and the West Monsoon respectivelly. The implications of temperature as a limiting factor are fairly significant, as it restricts the upper limit of the living habitat to predictable depths, which vary both geographically and seasonally during the West Monsoon when surface temperatures approach habitable levels. Sea currents at the Bangka Belitung Seas move at 0–0.6 m.s-1 during the East Monsoon and speed up near the North Natuna Sea. During the West Monsoon, currents predominantly flow from the Natuna Sea to the Java Sea at 0–0.5 m.s-1. Large-scale deep-water currents and the effects of smaller currents on scent dispersal influence the directional movements of Nautilus.
Artificial Intelligence on the Identification of Beiguan Music

This research determines an identification system for the types of Beiguan music – a historical, nonclassical music genre – by combining artificial neural network (ANN), social tagging, and music information retrieval (MIR). Based on the strategy of social tagging, the procedure of this research includes: evaluating the qualifying features of 48 Beiguan music recordings, quantifying 11 music indexes representing tempo and instrumental features, feeding these sets of quantized data into a three-layered ANN, and executing three rounds of testing, with each round containing 30 times of identification. The result of ANN testing reaches a satisfying correctness (97% overall) on classifying three types of Beiguan music. The purpose of this research is to provide a general attesting method, which can identify diversities within the selected non-classical music genre, Beiguan. The research also quantifies significant musical indexes, which can be effectively identified. The advantages of this method include improving data processing efficiency, fast MIR, and evoking possible musical connections from the high-relation result of statistical analyses.
Ethamsylate Attenuates Mutilated Secondary Pathogenesis and Exhibits a Neuroprotective Role in Experimental Model of Spinal Cord Injury

Deficits in the neuronal connection that succumbs to the impairment of sensory and motor neurons are the hallmarks of spinal cord injury (SCI). Secondary pathogenesis, which initiates after the primary mechanical insult to the spinal cord, depicts a pivotal role in producing inflammation, lesion formation and ultimately causes fibrotic scar formation in the chronic period. This fibrotic scar formed acts as a major hindrance in facilitating axonal regeneration and is one of the root causes of motor impairment. Cascade of secondary events in SCI begins with injury-induced blood spinal cord barrier rupture that promotes increased migration of neutrophils, macrophages, and other inflammatory cells at the injury site to initiate the secondary damages. This phenomenon leads to the release of matrix metalloproteinase, cytokines and chemokines, reactive oxygen species, and other proteolytic enzymes at the lesion site. These factors assist in the activation of the TGF-β1 signaling pathway, which further leads to excessive proliferation of perivascular fibroblast, followed by deposition of collagen and fibronectin matrix, which are the main components of the fibrotic scar. Subsequently, this scar formed inhibits the propagation of action potential from one neuron to adjacent neurons. Ethamsylate, an anti-hemorrhagic drug, has the potential to maintain early hemostasis as well as restore capillary resistance. Therefore, we hypothesized that ethamsylate, by virtue of its anti-hemorrhagic activity, reduces hemorrhagic ischemia-induced neuronal apoptosis, maintains the blood spinal cord barrier integrity, and decreases secondary damage severity, thereby reduce the extent of fibrotic scar formation, and demonstrates a neuroprotective role in SCI.

High-Gain Fabry–Pérot Antenna With Reconfigurable Scattering Patterns Based on Varactor Diodes

In this article, a low radar cross section (RCS) and high-gain Fabry–Pérot (F-P) antenna with reconfigurable scattering beams based on varactor diodes is proposed. The partially reflecting surface (PRS) of the proposed F-P antenna is composed of an anisotropic frequency-selective absorber (AFSA) and an active phase gradient metasurface (PGM) loaded with varactor diodes. The proposed AFSA can absorb the cross-polarized wave and make the co-polarized wave pass through. The in-band co-polarized scattering beams can be tuned continuously with stable radiation beams by changing the capacitance of the varactor diodes. Therefore, the proposed device can reduce the RCS for in-band co- and cross-polarized incident waves. Moreover, taking advantage of the path difference between the radiating and scattering waves, the gain enhancement and RCS reduction (RCSR) are realized simultaneously. Simulated results show that the scattering beam can be tuned dynamically from –40° to 40° with a maximum gain enhancement of 7.2 dB. The co-polarized in-band reconfigurable scattering beam and the stable gain enhancement are first implemented in a single antenna. A significant monostatic RCSR is obtained for the co- and cross-polarized wave in the frequency band of 5.5–7 GHz with a maximum reduction value of 20 dB. The experimental and simulated results are in good agreement.
Thermal-optic tuning cascaded double ring optical sensor based on wavelength interrogation

Based on the Vernier effect of the cascaded double ring resonator (CDRR) sensor, a sensor consisting of a microfluidic control system, a sensing ring, and a reference ring with a micro-heater for thermal tuning is proposed in this paper. In wavelength interrogation, a broadband spectrometer or a large tunable range laser is not required. The shift of the output spectrum caused by the refractive index change of the sample is converted into the change of the electric power by the thermal tuning heater. Due to the Vernier effect, the sensitivity of the sensor is 20 times higher than that of the single ring. The spectral envelope of the thermal-optic tuning of the sensor was fitted by a Gaussian function in the wavelength range of 8 nm. The experimental results showed that the sensitivity was 33.703 W/RIU, and the limit of detection was 1.34×10−5 RIU.
Research on Sheepskin Contour Extraction Method Based on Computer Vision Measurement Technology

Manual trimming of sheepskin is intensive labor, and the working environment is full of rotten smells. The tannery is facing increasingly severe recruitment difficulties. This paper uses computer vision technology to study automatic recognition of sheepskin contours, which is the basis for the subsequent automatic trimming of sheepskin. After observing and analyzing the raw sheepskin images collected by an industrial array camera, a method of sheepskin contour extraction based on computer vision measurement technology is proposed in this paper. This method uses the fast Otsu threshold algorithm based on the pixel set to perform binary image segmentation. Combined with morphological processing for edge defect filling and topology analysis of boundary contour tracking algorithm to extract maximum contour information, it has a pixel-level three-dimensional de-noising preprocessing function and can accurately extract the sheepskin contour in the raw sheepskin image. The experimental results show that using the fast Otsu threshold algorithm proposed in this paper for binary segmentation to extract sheepskin contours, the detection rate is nearly 160% faster than the traditional Otsu algorithm, the edge protection is better, the error segmentation is reduced by nearly 3% and it has good anti-noise performance. It can meet the industrial production requirements of subsequent automatic cutting of sheepskin.
A recommendation system for energy saving and user engagement in existing buildings

Ranked as the major energy-consuming sector, the building industry continuously introduces enhanced energy management systems towards more energy efficiency. Besides the technological progress, still high amounts of resources are wasted worldwide due to a wrong usage of energy systems in existing building stock. As response, this paper proposes an ICT-based recommendation system that provides building users with hands-on executable recommendations in order to reduce their energy consumption. Indeed, because of their lack of energy awareness and knowledge, people may need guidance in their daily usage of a building in order to change their energy behaviour and to save energy. For that purpose, the recommendation system analyses building operation data in real time in order to identify energy wastes as well as suitable energy conservation measures that shall help saving energy. One main challenge is to provide a highly scalable solution that can be easily applied in a wider range of buildings thus enabling resource saving at a large scale or even worldwide. For that purpose, the system relies on a model-based expert system for easy adaptation in any building regardless of their type, size and usage.

A Shear Hinge Model for Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams

The lumped plasticity method is an efficient analytical approach to assess the system-level performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Through this analysis approach, the nonlinearity effects are calculated using plastic hinges located in critical parts of the structure. Because of the complexity associated with shearrelated mechanisms in RC members, the number of shear hinge models developed in the literature are limited. This paper presents a comprehensive shear hinge model for RC beams capable of capturing advanced mechanisms such as interactions between shear force and bending moment, effects of nonlinear stress and strain distributions through the section, and compression softening effect in concrete. The model provides closed-form equations for five key points on the shear force-shear deformation response by satisfying the compatibility, equilibrium, and constitutive relationships. By comparing the performance of the model against test results, other analysis methods, and design codes at the component and system level, the effectiveness of the model in capturing the shear behavior is demonstrated.
Capitalize Your Data: Optimal Selling Mechanisms for IoT Data Exchange

More and more IoT data is being traded online in cloud-based data marketplaces due to the fast-growing market demand. Within the current data selling mechanisms, data consumers have difficulties in making purchasing decisions due to uncertain IoT data quality and inflexible pricing interface. To resolve these issues, potential solutions could be to launch data demonstrations and release free sampling data to reduce the uncertainty about data quality, and to charge based on the volume of data actually used to enable flexible pricing. However, there is still no clear understanding of economic benefits of these mechanisms. In this paper, we design the optimal data selling mechanisms for IoT data exchange, and derive the following two results. First, whether to deploy a data demonstration and how much free sampling data to release depend on the extent of data consumers' inaccuracy perceptions for data quality, which varies over a wide range in IoT applications. We found that the data vendor has no incentive to conduct these strategies if data consumers extremely overestimate data quality. Second, although flexible data pricing mechanisms provide convenience for real-time and streaming IoT data exchange, it brings less economic benefits to the data vendor compared with the fixed pricing scheme, which sells the whole data set with a fixed price. We evaluate the optimal selling mechanisms on a real-world Taxi GPS data set, and evaluation results verify the insights derived from our theoretical analysis.
