Separating Directional Lighting Variability in Statistical Face Modelling Based on Texture Space Decomposition
(IEEE, 2007-07-04)In this paper we propose a simple method for decomposing the linear texture space of a facial appearance model into two linear subspaces, one for inter-individual variability and another for variations caused by directional ... -
Separating the wheat from the chaff: Evaluating success determinants for online Q&A communities
(NUI Galway, 2017-05-15)Researchers and community managers try to measure the success of online communities using a variety of success determinants, such as member activity, turnover and interaction. Although many success determinants have been ... -
Separation and characterization of two chemically distinct lipopolysaccharides in two pectinatus species.
(American Society for Microbiology, 1992-05-01)Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from the type strains of the anaerobic beer spoilage bacteria Pectinatus cerevisiiphilus and P. frisingensis were extracted with the 5:5:8 volume ratio modification of the phenolchloroform-petroleum ... -
Seq-ing improved gene expression estimates from microarrays using machine learning
(Springer Nature, 2015-09-04)Background: Quantifying gene expression by RNA-Seq has several advantages over microarrays, including greater dynamic range and gene expression estimates on an absolute, rather than a relative scale. Nevertheless, microarrays ... -
Sequential compression biomechanical device in patients with critical limb ischemia and nonreconstructible peripheral vascular disease
(Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01)Objectives: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients who are unsuitable for intervention face the dire prospect of primary amputation. Sequential compression biomechanical device (SCBD) therapy provides a limb salvage option ... -
Sequestration of rhBMP-2 into Self-Assembled Polyelectrolyte Complexes Promotes Anatomic Localization of New Bone in a Porcine Model of Spinal Reconstructive Surgery.
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2014-02-27)Efficient and therapeutically safe delivery of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) continues to be a central issue in bone tissue engineering. Recent evidence indicates that layer-by-layer self-assembly ... -
Series parallel linkages
(Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 2011-07-01)We study spaces of realisations of linkages (weighted graphs) whose underlying graph is a series parallel graph. In particular, we describe an algorithm for determining whether or not such spaces are connected. -
Serious Play as a method for process design
(Springer, 2014-09-20)As motivating and including people is a crucial aspect in any plan-ning, design and change process there is always a need for appropriate methods and tools to support this. Lego Serious Play (LSP) is such a method which ... -
Serotonin and the neural processing of facial emotions in adults with autism
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2012-10-01)Context: People with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have lifelong deficits in social behavior and differences in behavioral as well as neural responses to facial expressions of emotion. The biological basis to this is ... -
Serotyping of campylobacter jejuni based on heat stable antigens: relevance, molecular basis and implications in pathogenesis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1999-03-01) -
Serratus plane block: a novel ultrasound-guided thoracic wall nerve block
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-08-07)We present a novel ultrasound-guided regional anaesthetic technique that may achieve complete paraesthesia of the hemithorax. This technique may be a viable alternative to current regional anaesthetic techniques such as ... -
Sers-based quantitative detection of ovarian cancer prognostic factor haptoglobin
(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2015-03-01)Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is increasingly being used for biosensing because of its high sensitivity and low detection limit, which are made possible by the unique Raman 'fingerprint' spectra from the ... -
