Face Boundary Formulation for Harmonic Models: Face Image Resembling by Hung-Tsai Huang, Zi-Cai Li, Yimin Wei, Ching Yee Suen

“…Face combination and resembling are performed by employing blending curves for generating the face boundary, and face images are converted by numerical methods for harmonic models, such as the finite difference method (FDM), the finite element method (FEM) and the finite volume method (FVM) for harmonic models, and the splitting–integrating method (SIM) for the resampling of constituent pixels. For the second goal, the age effects of facial appearance are explored to discover that different ages of face images can be produced by integrating the photos and images of the old and the young. …”

Blessed be the fruit: resquícios de um viés controlista em ações sobre cirurgia de laqueadura no Judiciário de Santa Catarina (2015-2016) by Amanda Muniz Oliveira, Horácio Wanderlei Rodrigues

“…Para tanto, foram analisadas decisões judiciais proferidas nesse tempo-espaço, a partir das quais foi possível concluir que os juízes aplicam a lei de maneira indiscriminada, ora ignorando e ora salientando os requisitos nela estabelecidos, e, ainda, que existem resquícios, talvez não intencionais, de um pensamento controlista, preocupado não em respeitar o desejo individual de cada mulher ou as normas legais estabelecidas, mas em efetivar os direitos reprodutivos a partir de uma lógica neomalthusiana: a cirurgia de laqueadura é deferida, mas não sob o fundamento de que se trata da vontade da mulher, e, sim, porque a mulher é hipossuficiente financeiramente.…”

X-ray emission from hot gas and XRBs in the NGC 5846 galaxy by Kyadampure Anil, Vagshette Nilkanth, Patil Madhav

“…The surface brightness distribution of the X-ray emitting gas in this galaxy exhibit structures in the form of discontinuities due to the presence of a pair of cold fronts at ∼20 \sim 20 kpc. The presence of these cold fronts were confirmed in the azimuthally averaged surface brightness profile and sectorial temperature profiles and may have formed due to minor mergers. …”

First demonstration of a TES based cryogenic Li $$_2$$ 2 MoO $$_4$$ 4 detector for neutrinoless double beta decay search by G. Bratrud, C. L. Chang, R. Chen, E. Cudmore, E. Figueroa-Feliciano, Z. Hong, K. T. Kennard, S. Lewis, M. Lisovenko, L. O. Mateo, V. Novati, V. Novosad, E. Oliveri, R. Ren, J. A. Scarpaci, B. Schmidt, G. Wang, L. Winslow, V. G. Yefremenko, J. Zhang, D. Baxter, M. Hollister, C. James, P. Lukens, D. J. Temples

“…The detector is a 2-cm-side cube with 21 g mass that is strongly thermally coupled to its readout chip to allow rise-times of $$\sim $$ ∼ 0.5 ms. This design is more than one order of magnitude faster than present NTD based detectors and is hence expected to effectively mitigate backgrounds generated through the pile-up of two independent two neutrino decay events coinciding close in time. …”
