Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), also known as Fisherface method, uses the Fisher’s linear discriminant criterion to overcome the limitations of eigenfaces method (Batagelj, 2006). This criterion tries to maximize the ratio of the determinant of the between-class scatter matrix of the projected samples to the determinant of the within-class scatter matrix of the projected samples. The aim is to maximize the between-class scatter while minimizing the within-class
The most commonly used vision-based coding system is the facial action coding system (FACS) proposed by Ekman and Friesen [5] for The Facial Action Coding System: A Technique for the Measurement of Facial Movement, FACS enables facial expression analysis through standardized coding of changes in facial motion in terms of atomic facial actions called Action Units (AUs). The tracking and recognition of facial activities are characterized by three levels, first in the bottom level, facial feature points
Digital Forensics is a topic that is becoming increasingly important in computing and often requires the intelligent analysis of large amounts of complex data extracted from crime scene. Digital forensics investigation is the process of extracting, analysis digital evidence for use as admissible proof about committed crimes. This process can help to reconstruct the crime events. Big Data analytics (BDA) is a process of analyzing Big Data. The objective of Big Data Analytics is to extract knowledge
Review Article The aim of this study is to determine the impact of Grade Point Average (GPA), multiple clinical rotations, and the sequence of the clinical rotation on graduates’ of college of pharmacy performance on the North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NAPLEX test). Clinical rotations are defined as those clerkship experiences that are not based solely on order entering, or dispensing of medication but requires pharmacist-patient contact and patient monitoring. Examples of clinical

Introduction: The relevance of brand of communities is steadily increasing for the past many years. Ahonen and Moore (2005) said that community activity “is the biggest change in business in 100 years”. The recent changes in marketing and consumer behavior stress the need for understanding the relationship between the brand and consumer behavior in terms of their identity, attachment, culture and societal influence. One of the recent concepts in consumer behavior that explains the connection between
Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI is a procedure, in wide use since the 80s, to see the anatomy of the internal organs of the body. It is based on the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), first described in landmark papers over fifty years ago (Rabi et al. 1938; Rabi, Millman, and Kusch 1939; Purcell et al. 1945; Bloch, Hansen, and Packard 1946) (4 ). . The MRI is a valuable diagnostic and research tool with also practical applications for surgical planning and conquering diseases. This
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for persons ages 10 to 24 years old (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2013). Risk factors for suicide, particularly interpersonal violence and alcohol use, are alarmingly prevalent in this population (Bagge & Sher, 2008; Wolford-Clevenger & P. Smith, 2014). However, understanding of the mechanisms through which these factors promote suicide risk in young adults is limited. Research that organizes these risk factors into a parsimonious understanding
