Consistent movement of viewers' facial keypoints while watching emotionally evocative videos. by Shivansh Chandra Tripathi, Rahul Garg

“…Unlike existing facial expression-based methodologies that measure CRM of secondary indicators like inferred emotions, keypoint, and ICA-based features, the Average t-statistic is closely associated with the direct measurement of consistent facial muscle movement using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). This is evidenced in DISFA dataset where the time-series of Average t-statistic has a high correlation (R2 = 0.78) with a metric called AU consistency, which directly measures facial muscle movement through FACS coding of video frames. …”

Spontaneous Overgrowth of Jointing in the Working Chambers of Power Gas-Liquid Thermal Installations – Diffusion Dynamic Processes by T. V. Ryzhova, D. N. Bukharov, M. M. Arakelian, S. M. Arakelian

“…The process of modification and development of a 3D fractured structure based on the Griffiths load theory for dislocations is described, taking into account the gradual sequential transition from a stable state to a growth stage. As a result of the action of such dynamic loads in a solidstate object, a rapid change in the parameters of microcracking is observed, which can be represented as local micro-explosions, viz. the growth and fusion of natural microcracks into larger ones; the emergence of new microcracks; the disclosure of large microcracks with the formation of defects of the next hierarchical level. …”
