Published: April 2016

ABSTRACT: In all countries, members of the UPOV (Union Internationale pour la Protection des Obtentions Végétales), of which Brazil is a signatory, to protect a new plant variety is necessary to carry out DUS (Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability) tests. DUS testing forCapsicum spp. is based on 48 descriptors, which involve qualitative and quantitative traits, observed from germination to fruit harvest. This paper describes the performance of DUS tests on lines of chili peppers, which are candidates for protection; we discuss the main aspects related to operational difficulties, the relevance of some descriptors for the protection process and highlight the importance of protecting new plant varieties as national intellectual property. Four C. annuum var.annuum recombinant inbred lines were tested. The Capsicum Breeding Program of the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro developed the lines, which are resistant to bacterial spot. They were tested under greenhouse conditions from June to November 2013; and from January to July 2014 in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The 'Jalapeño M' commercial genotype was used as control and treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with seven plants per plot with five replications. Besides the 48 descriptors, stipulated by legislation for Capsicum DUS testing, we included a descriptor for bacterial spot resistance. The descriptors that enabled distinction varied with each line. Although being distinctive for some descriptors, L1 and L2 lines were neither homogeneous nor stable. L6 and L8 recombined lines were characterized by homogeneity and stability. Fruit shape, capsaicin presence, number of days for flowering and bacterial spot resistance were descriptors that allowed for differentiation between treatments. In conclusion, the L6 and L8 recombined lines met the DUS test requirements; therefore, they may be subjected to the protection process with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply.

Published: April 2016

RESUMO A produção e o consumo de produtos agrícolas, oriundos do modelo da agricultura orgânica, vêm se expandindo ao longo dos anos. Esse modelo de agricultura necessita cada vez mais de genótipos adaptados ao seu manejo para expandir sua produção e atender as necessidades da população. Sendo assim, o melhoramento participativo tem um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento de cultivares que atendam as necessidades desse modelo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de 12 linhagens de tomateiro sob dois sistemas orgânicos. Os experimentos foram conduzidos na Fazenda Escola da Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL) (experimento I) e em uma propriedade no distrito de Guaravera (experimento II), Londrina-PR. As seguintes linhagens foram avaliadas: IPA-6 Super, Lignon, Viradoro, SPH92-434, Rimone, Massag-72, RG Angarten, Missouri91, TXL-1004, H1548, Rio Fuego e CTN. O delineamento adotado foi de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições. Foram avaliados seis caracteres agronômicos (número e massa média de frutos comerciais, produção total de frutos comerciais, espessura da parede do fruto, comprimento e diâmetro do fruto) e quatro caracteres organolépticos (pH, teor de sólidos solúveis, acidez e relação entre teor de sólidos solúveis e acidez). Verificou-se uma ampla variabilidade entre os genótipos e ambientes avaliados, sendo que os resultados do experimento I foram superiores aos do experimento II para os caracteres relacionados à produtividade. Com os resultados obtidos recomenda-se a linhagem H1548 para os produtores orgânicos do norte do Paraná.

Published: April 2016

RESUMO: O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a heterocedasticidade entre as fileiras de cultivo e entre as colheitas em tomate cereja cultivado em ambiente protegido e determinar o tamanho ótimo de parcela para avaliar as características produtivas da cultura. Para isso instalou-se dois ensaios de uniformidade em estufas plásticas, cada uma contendo oito fileiras espaçadas 1 m entre si. Utilizou-se o híbrido Lili, e as mudas foram espaçadas em 0,5 m. Foram realizadas três colheitas e as análises foram realizadas com base nas colheitas individuais e agrupadas. A homocedasticidade entre as fileiras de cultivo e entre as colheitas para cada fileira de cultivo foi obtida pelo teste de Bartlett. O tamanho de parcela (em número de plantas) foi calculado para cada fileira e colheita (individual ou agrupada). Observou-se heterocedasticidade entre as fileiras de cultivo para pelo menos um caractere em todas as colheitas (individuais ou agrupadas). Ocorreu heterocedasticidade entre as colheitas dentro de cada fileira de cultivo para todas as variáveis. Estas duas características justificam a necessidade de se estimar o tamanho ótimo de parcela para cada situação. O tamanho de parcela (em número de plantas) foi diferenciado entre as fileiras e as colheitas, sendo esta estimativa menor quando as três colheitas são agrupadas. É recomendado o agrupamento das colheitas e a adoção de parcelas contendo sete plantas de tomate, independente da fileira de cultivo.

Published: April 2016

RESUMO: A otimização do espaço na produção de hortaliças é de suma importância para o agricultor; algumas vezes esse é o limiar do lucro. Novos arranjos de plantas com disposições diferentes buscam maximizar a produção. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a produtividade de ervilha de vagens comestíveis em diferentes densidades de plantio, variando o espaçamento entre covas e o número de plantas por cova. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com oito tratamentos no esquema fatorial 4 x 2 (espaçamentos entre covas de 0,2; 0,3; 0,4 e 0,5 m com 1 ou 2 plantas por cova), representando densidades de 20.000 a 100.000 plantas/ha para o espaçamento de 1,0 m entre linhas, com seis repetições. Foram avaliadas a produtividade total e comercial, a produção de vagens comerciais por planta e o número de vagens comerciais. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste F, sendo as médias referentes ao número de plantas por cova comparadas pelo teste de Tukey e as referentes aos espaçamentos pela análise de regressão. Foi obtida maior produtividade de vagens comerciais (15,53 t/ha com 2 plantas por cova) e menor produção por planta (150 g com 2 plantas por cova), quanto menor o espaçamento (0,2 m). Caso o produtor resolva plantar com um espaçamento maior, aconselha-se o uso de duas plantas por cova.

Published: April 2016

RESUMO As características da solução nutritiva empregada em sistemas de cultivo sem solo com uso de substratos é um dos fatores que influenciam a emissão de estolhos. A condutividade elétrica (CE) da solução nutritiva está relacionada com concentração de nutrientes na solução nutritiva, mas ainda pouco relatada na literatura para produção de mudas de morango no Brasil. Assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi determinar o efeito da condutividade elétrica da solução nutritiva no crescimento de plantas matrizes de morangueiro e na produção de estolhos para produção de mudas com torrão. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, esquema fatorial (5x2), sendo as CEs de 0,4; 0,8; 1,2; 1,6 e 2,0 dS/m e as cultivares de morangueiro a Camino Real e Oso Grande, com 20 repetições de uma planta matriz. O plantio foi feito em vasos com areia, sendo as plantas fertirrigadas com solução nutritiva nas cinco condutividades elétricas. Os estolhos foram coletados semanalmente e contabilizados, sendo descartados aqueles necrosados. Quinzenalmente, foram coletadas amostras de 15 estolhos de cada tratamento, nas quais foi determinado o número de folhas, diâmetro de coroa e massa seca. Em fevereiro, uma amostra de 45 estolhos coletados em cada tratamento foi enraizada em bandejas de poliestireno contendo 40 cm3 de substrato orgânico para determinação da taxa de formação de mudas, do diâmetro de coroa, do número de folhas expandidas e da massa seca da parte aérea e das raízes. Ao final do experimento, foram coletadas, também, plantas matrizes para determinação da área foliar e da massa seca de raízes, coroas, pecíolos e folhas. Concluiu-se que o aumento da condutividade elétrica reduziu o crescimento das plantas matrizes e a produção de estolhos e de mudas com torrão foram maiores com valores de CE na faixa entre 0,8 e 1,1dS/m.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate whether performing surgery in degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine modify the spinopelvic balance and influences the clinical outcome and the quality of life of patients. Methods: The spinopelvic balance was evaluated in 25 patients using plain radiographs of the lumbosacral region including the proximal femur, as well as evaluating the quality of life on two separated occasions. Results: The measure of spinopelvic balance was obtained by averaging the angles of sacral slope, pelvic version and pelvic incidence. Mean preoperative angles were 59.88º, 22.84º, and 37.44º, respectively, and the mean postoperative values were 61.56º, 24.64º, and 37.32º, respectively. Regarding the questionnaires on quality of life, the Oswestry index showed mean preoperative values of 46.24, characterized as severe disability and mean postoperative values of 13.29 denoting satisfactory response after surgical treatment. The SF-36 questionnaire showed important and significant improvement in quality of life in different domains, with the exception of physical limitation and social aspects, with a p-value of 0.02 and 0.025, respectively. Conclusion: Patients undergoing surgical treatment of degenerative lumbar diseases showed no significant changes in the spinopelvic balance, but showed significant improvement in quality of life after surgery.
Zoulikha, the Martyr of Cherchell, in Film and Fiction
Authors: Mortimer Mildred
Published: April 2016

Readers of assia djebar's oeuvre are well aware of her commitment to restoring algerian women to their proper place in the history of their nation's anticolonial struggle. Beginning with her third novel, Les enfants du nouveau monde (1965; Children of the New World), a text offering a panoramic view of women's participation in the Algerian War, Djebar signaled her intent to chart women's political and psychological awakening during the anticolonial struggle. In contrast to this early text, Djebar's penultimate work, La femme sans sépulture (2002; “Woman without a Tomb”), focuses on one revolutionary figure: Yamina Echaïb Oudaï, known as Zoulikha, the martyr of Cherchell.
The Other Matter of the South
Authors: Watson Jay
Published: April 2016

In a recent book i suggested that what haunts the field of southern studies is not the proverbial specter so much as an insistent materiality that troubles and illuminates the spaces, communities, and minds of the southern United States. I made a case for human materiality, in its diverse manifestations and histories, as an important methodological tool in the study of the cultural logics, illogics, and resistances that have shaped and sometimes stymied life in what Leigh Anne Duck calls “the nation's region” (Watson 9-27). Here I want to make a briefer but complementary case for the centrality of other materialities in scholarship on that region. To access them effectively, southern studies will need to forge closer, more creative ties with the field of environmental studies and with the habit of mind that Timothy Morton calls “the ecological thought.”
Manifesto for a Queer South Politics

Whereas the past decade of progress for LGBTQ Americans has accompanied a turn away from liberalism and a silencing of radicalism, in that gays who face discrimination are seen as innocent victims while unarmed black men gunned down by police are seen as thugs, and in that queers celebrate judicial acknowledgment of their dignity while food stamps disappear, recipients of public assistance are tested for drugs, one third of young black men have been incarcerated, torture is an instrument of American foreign policy, and the top one percent get wildly richer each year;
Future Souths, Speculative Souths, and Southern Potentialities
Authors: Davis Larose
Published: April 2016

This is a moment for relentless forward gazing, an impulse already evident, for example, at two conferences in 2013: race in space, a gathering at Duke University, where Mae Jemison spoke about her project 100 Year Starship, and the meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association, with the theme of making meaning in networked worlds. In several ways, the path that I want to propose for southern studies and particularly the study of southern literature is inflected by the conversations at these conferences. It is also informed by my tangential interest in speculative fictions—not necessarily of the literary variety—and by a desire to see more scholarship that goes beyond underscoring the tensions and anxieties of various Souths, scholarship attuned to the generative possibilities and (I, perhaps naively, suggest) the hopes that might emerge from the sites that we call Souths.
On Language and Empire: The Prologue to Grammar of the Castilian Language (1492)
Authors: Nebrija Antonio De , Armillas-Tiseyra Magalí
Published: April 2016

On 18 august 1492, the lexicographer and grammarian antonio de nebrija'S castilian grammar—variously referred to as Gramática castellana, Gramática de la lengua castellana, and Gramática sobre la lengua castellana—was printed in Salamanca. Modeled on his earlier Latin grammar, Introductiones latinae (1481), it was the first such systematization of a modern (vernacular) European language and part of an emergent print and lexical humanist culture in the early modern period. Nebrija dedicated the project to Isabel I of Castile in a prologue that opens with a declaration for which the text is notorious: “language was always the companion [compañera] of empire, and followed it such that together [junta mente] they began, grew, and flourished—and, later, together [junta mente] they fell.”
Sustaining supply chains
Authors: Graham Richard
Published: April 2016

This paper considers the importance of, and conditions for, a vibrant supply chain within the UK rail infrastructure sector. It explores issues that underpin supply chain innovation, sustainable growth within the supplier base and the benefits that the nation and informed clients gain through adoption of supply chain sustainability. Procurement practices have changed in recent years, and, particularly during the post-2012 Olympics period, there is a greater awareness now of the conditions required to deliver national economic infrastructure and the commercial conditions that promote efficient delivery and enable supply chain innovation. This paper includes some findings in 2015 of the initiative termed the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain’, steered by Robert Mallett (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), Chris Williams-Lilly (Rail Champions) and Richard Graham (CH2M). This work highlights the need for greater client focus on infrastructure operational requirements and outcomes, for the development of operational asset performance and functional requirements for the underlying projects that then inform the supply chain and its engagement in effective delivery of those outcomes. Within this early definition lies the client establishment of effective vertical supply chain relationships, their promotion of small to medium-sized enterprise investment and capabilities to achieve the clients’ defined end-state requirements.

Published: April 2016

We analysed the role of socially oriented NGOs and volunteer services in the implementation of the objectives of National Strategy for Action on Children 2012–2017 and priority activities in the provision of services to vulnerable children and their families. The article provides the examples of innovative social practices and technologies developed and implemented by NGOs, which become generally accepted, widely used, and codified later. We show the role of the nonprofit institutions for the implementing the international experience. There is an increasing of the role of socially oriented NGOs as a partner of the regional authorities in the formulation and implementation of social policy modernization in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation over the past few years, including the organi- zation of interdepartmental and multidisciplinary interaction. The paper provides detailed analysis of the significance of the volunteer institution in the creation of conditions for development and socialization of children-orphans and children with disabilities, to identify further relevant activities in the context of deinstitu- tionalization of children in different categories without parental care, and trans- ferred to family care forms. The analysis showed that effective socially oriented NGOs, volunteer movements and public sector hampered by inadequate legal framework, weak activity of charitable organizations at the municipal level, the uncertainty of the evaluation of the action of NGOs and its effectiveness (lack of evaluation criteria), lack of staff training system for NCOs, "the fear of the authorities” is to transfer certain functions and powers as the national partner, the false perception of NGOs as a source of wealth and additional resources.

Published: April 2016

The complex symbiotic relationship between wood-feeding termites and microorganisms inhabiting their intestinal tracts is a fascinating phenomenon in nature. To understand the physiological functions of symbiotic micro-organisms, bacteria were isolated from the gut homogenate of Reticulitermes chinensis with different media and culture conditions. Under aerobic conditions, 105 bacterial strains were isolated with 1/5 LB medium, 1/3 TSB medium and a modified basal mineral medium, MM-4. Most dominant isolates were bacteria in the genera Bacillus (27.6%) and Lactococcus (21.9%). Under anaerobic conditions, 60 bacterial strains were isolated with 1/5 LB medium, 1/3 TSB medium and a modified Peptone-Yeast medium. The predominant isolates were bacteria in the genus Enterobacter (41.7%) and Citrobacter (33.3%). Many of these bacterial isolates shared high sequence similarity (>98%) in 16S rRNA genes to bacterial clones obtained from the same termite and the other wood-feeding termites or cockroaches. Several bacterial species such as Deinococcus and Gryllotalpicola were isolated from termite gut for the first time. Characterization of these isolates showed that (i) most of Enterobacteriaceae and Lactococcus strains were able to hydrolyze uric acid; and (ii) many of the Bacillus and Streptomyces strains presented endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity. The preliminary results of this work gave us hints of possible functions of symbiotic bacteria in nitrogen recycling and cellulose degradation in the gut of wood-feeding termites

Vitiligo associated hypoacusis: a case control study
Authors: Maheshwari Abhishek , Panigrahi Rajlaxmi , Mahajan Shruti
Published: April 2016

Background: Vitiligo is a progressive depigmenting cutaneous disorder, resulting from the loss of melanocytes. In the inner ear, melanocytes are believed to play an important role in development and normal functioning of stria vascularis. Acoustic abnormalities in vitiligo patients remain obscured for long durations. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of subclinical sensorineural hearing loss in vitiligo patients, if any, in comparison with controls and to detect any relevant demographic or clinical finding characteristic of hypoacusis in vitiligo patients.

Methods: A prospective case control study was undertaken in 50 vitiligo patients (case group), who were compared with another 50 age and sex matched healthy volunteers (control group). All cases underwent detailed dermatological and ENT examination and were subjected to tests like pure tone audiometry, transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE).

Results: A statistically significant (p value = 0.039), higher average pure tone hearing threshold (APT-HT) was noted in vitiligo patients in comparison with the control group. Vitiligo originating at the head and neck was strongly associated with hypoacusis (54.55%, 6 of 11 cases). TEOAE reproducibility % was reduced to 42.6% in the vitiligo group.
Conclusion: Vitiligo is associated with subclinical sensorineural hypoacusis. Vitiligo with its primary site in head and neck region and co-exixting leucotrichia shows a strong association with asymptomatic sensorineural hypoacusis in such patients. Pure tone audiometery and TEOAE can be effectively used to assess and follow up vitiligo patients for asymptomatic subclinical sensorineural hypoacusis.
Parotid tumour presents as acute onset neck pain: a case report
Authors: Unger Mark D. , Gulyanich Taras M.
Published: April 2016

Salivary gland tumors occur in the major and minor salivary glands. Major salivary gland tumors are frequently reported, with those arising in the parotid gland being most common. Patients with parotid tumors may be entirely asymptomatic. Some of the commonly reported symptoms directly related to parotid tumors include painless swelling of the parotid gland, ipsilateral facial palsy, and facial pain. This case report describes a clinically diagnosed parotid tumor presenting as ipsilateral, acute onset neck pain without preceding cervical trauma in the face of normal physical examination, cardiac, and laboratory workup. The common causes of neck pain are highlighted and further discussion suggests a nociceptive mechanism responsible for this report of acute neck pain.
Giant multiloculated ameloblastoma of the mandible: a case report and review of literature
Authors: Virmani Nitish , Dabholkar Jyoti
Published: April 2016

Ameloblastomas, in general, are considered benign but locally invasive neoplasms. They present as slow growing, painless swellings and can grow to enormous sizes over the years. While planning the treatment of ameloblastoma, it is important to understand the growth characteristics and removing the full extension of tumor, including the surrounding tissue. Recurrence of ameloblastoma in many cases reflects the inadequacy or failure of the primary surgical procedure. We report a case of giant multiloculated ameloblastoma of the mandible with destruction of the cortical plate and extensive and rapid infiltration of the buccal mucosa. Along with the clinical and imaging features, the importance and method of ruling out malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma in such a case is discussed.

Slaves, Money Lenders, and Prisoner Guards: The Jews and the Trade in Slaves and Captives in the Crimean Khanate
Authors: Kizilov Mikhail
Published: April 2016

The Crimea, a peninsula lying in the Northern part of the Black Sea, has been inhabited since ancient times by representatives of various ethnic groups and confessions. Trade in slaves and captives was one of the most important (if not the most important) sources of income of the Crimean Khanate in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The role which was played by the Jewish population in this process has still not been properly investigated. Nevertheless, written documents contain frequent references to the involvement of the Jewish population (both Karaite and Rabbanite) in the trade in slaves and prisoners of war carried out by the Crimean Khanate in the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries. Despite their fragmentary character, the sources allow us to attempt to restore a general view of the problem and to come to essential conclusions regarding the role and importance of the Jewish population in the Crimean slave trade.
Were Tefillin Phylacteries?
Authors: Cohn Yehudah
Published: April 2016

The article analyses anomalies in the Qumran tefillin corpus, the earliest archaeological evidence for the practice, in the light of which I argue that tefillin originated as ‘length-of-days’ amulets. These anomalies and other features of Qumran tefillin are also explained, with reference to this hypothesis, against the backdrop of comparative evidence for ancient amuletic ritual. A popular / private model for tefillin practice is highlighted, and I additionally argue that the etymology of the word ‘tefillin’ reflects the objects’ function as a prayer in material form. I conclude that tefillin were indeed protective amulets, i.e. phylacteries, calling into question the implications of this finding for the Jewish encounter with Hellenistic religion. In an appendix I bring the Qumran mezuzot into the picture, suggesting that these may in fact have been tefillin, and that they are in any event support for my argument.

Sistem pendukung pembelajaran tenses adalah suatu sistem pembelajaran terkomputerisasi yang dirancang untuk membantu seseorang dalam mendalami tenses. Tenses merupakan materi dasar dalam grammar yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan waktu kejadian memiliki struktur kata pembentuk kalimat yang berbeda-beda pada tiap penunjuk kejadiannya. Dari struktur kata pembentuk kalimat itulah sistem dapat membedakan tenses bentuk apa kalimat tersebut. Untuk membedakannya, sistem menggunakan metode forward chaining. Metode forward chaining adalah metode yang digunakan untuk mencari kesimpulan dari fakta-fakta yang terkumpul. Sistem kerja aplikasi ini adalah dengan memecah susunan kalimat menjadi kata kemudian dari kata tersebut oleh sistem akan dicari fakta-fakta dari kata tersebut.

Published: April 2016

Penjadwalan mata kuliah merupakan hal yang penting dalam proses kegiatan akademik dan juga menjadi suatu permasalahan yang sangat sulit dipecahkan, khususnya pada jurusan teknik informatika UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. Dengan keterbatasan dosen yang ada, jumlah kelas dan jumlah ruangan dituntut agar tetap bisa memenuhi kebutuhan pelayanan kepada mahasiswa. Penelitian sebelumnya tentang optimasi penjadwalan perkuliahan menggunakan algoritma genetika dengan metode seleksi Roulette Wheel, belum menunjukkan hasil yang maksimal, terbukti dengan tingkat kesalahan sebesar 27,79%. Oleh karena itu dengan penelitian ini dicoba untuk memperbaiki penelitian tersebut, yaitu menggunakan algoritma genetika dengan metode seleksi Rank. Selain itu dalam penelitian ini akan dibandingkan hasilnya dengan metode Simulated Annealing.Algoritma genetika merupakan pendekatan komputasional untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang dimodelkan dengan proses biologi dari evolusi, meliputi seleksi, crossover, dan mutasi. Berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya di atas yang menggunakan metode seleksi Roulette Wheel, dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode seleksi Rank, yang sekaligus merupakan perbaikan dari metode seleksi Roulette Wheel. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa dalam penelitian ini dihasilkan jadwal yang optimal dengan parameter genetikanya yaitu ukuran populasi 10, probabilitas crossover 0,70 dan probabilitas mutasi 0,15. Penelitian ini juga berhasil memperbaiki tingkat kesalahan menjadi 0%. Estimasi waktu penjadwalan rata-rata untuk algoritma genetika pada penelitian ini adalah 3 jam 13 menit 54 detik dalam 5 kali percobaan. Sedangkan pada Simulated Annealing membutuhkan waktu rata-rata 25 menit dengan kondisi jadwal yang sama-sama optimal.Sehingga algoritma genetika dengan metode seleksi Rank dapat digunakan untuk menjadwalkan perkuliahan pada jurusan teknik informatika Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang.

Published: April 2016

Dewasa ini perhatian peneliti dalam memanfaatkan teknologi biometrik pada kehidupan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengenal karakteristik manusia sudah banyak. Teknologi ini mengidentifikasi bagian tubuh manusia yang unik dan tetap seperti sidik jari, mata dan wajah manusia. Hal khusus di bidang identifikasi dan pengenalan wajah manusia memanfaatkan pengolahan dan analisis citra wajah, seperti menentukan daerah komponen wajah manusia dan karakteristiknya, yang akan membentuk suatu semantik wajah yang membantu mengungkapkan bagaimana komponen individu berperan dalam pengenalan wajah. Pada penelitian ini dikembangkan sistem yang memisahkan citra wajah ke dalam komponen wajah, kemudian mengekstraksinya ke dalam fitur mata dan batas wajah pada citra diam tunggal yang diambil dari posisi tampak depan. Antara tiap komponen diukur jaraknya, kemudian dikombinasikan dengan fitur lainnya untuk membentuk semantik wajah. Melalui tahapan deteksi wajah, berdasarkan model warna kulit dan normalisasi daerah wajah serta ekstraksi fitur mata, maka jarak masing-masing fitur dapat ditentukan.

Authors: Mustofin Misbakhul , Nurhayati Hani
Published: April 2016

Algoritma Backtracking (Runut-Balik) merupakan algoritma yang sangat baik dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan yang memiliki banyak kemungkinan karena algoritma ini tidak memeriksa semua kemungkinan yang ada. Algoritma ini hanya mempertimbangkan kemungkinan yang mengarah kepada solusi, sehingga proses pencarian   menjadi   jauh   lebih   cepat.   Algoritma   Multiplicative  CRNG  adalah algoritma  pembangkit  bilangan  acak  yang  baik  karena  tidak  membangkitkan bilangan yang sama secara berturut-turut. Pembangkit dan penyelesai permainan Sudoku Hijaiyah merupakan permasalahan yang dapat diselesaikan dengan baik menggunakan  perpaduan  antara  algoritma  Backtracking  dan  algoritma Multiplicative CRNG.
