Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level

Helena Miljkovic, Radomir Zikic

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we ...

Removing Algorithmic Discrimination (With Minimal Individual Error)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Le Nguyen Hoang

We address for the first time the problem of correcting group discriminations within a score function, while minimizing the individual error. Each group is described by a probability density function on the set of profiles. We first solve the problem analy ...

Skin lightening products' violations in Europe: An analysis of the rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background: Skin lightening products containing dangerous levels of chemicals pose a serious health concern for consumers. However, to date, the extent of these products in Europe has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to determine whe ...

Method and Procedure in Metal Detection and Distinctive Discrimination of Size, Shape, and Location of Hidden Single and Multi-Material Targets

Chafic Abu Antoun

This work provides a procedure and methodology for the design of an electro-magnetic sensor based on induction due to ferromagnetic and pure electrically conduc-tive hidden targets. The electromagnetic sensor is made of one or several excitation coils, whi ...

What impacts skin color in digital photos?

Stefan Winkler, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

Skin colors are important for a broad range of imaging applications to assure quality and naturalness. We discuss the impact of various metadata on skin colors in images, i.e. how does the presence of a metadata attribute influence the expected skin color ...

"Self pop-out": agency enhances self-recognition in visual search

Olaf Blanke, Roy Salomon, Oliver Alan Kannape, Joan Llobera Mahy

In real-life situations, we are often required to recognize our own movements among movements originating from other people. In social situations, these movements are often correlated (for example, when dancing or walking with others) adding considerable d ...

Clinical and genetic investigation of a large Tunisian family with complete achromatopsia: identification of a new nonsense mutation in GNAT2 gene

Complete achromatopsia is a rare autosomal recessive disease associated with CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2 and PDE6C mutations. This retinal disorder is characterized by complete loss of color discrimination due to the absence or alteration of the cones function. Th ...

SleepPic. Hardware Developments for a Wearable On-line Sleep and Wake Discrimination System

Dario Floreano

The design of wearable systems comes with constraints in computational and power resources. We describe the development of customized hardware for the wearable discrimination of human sleep and wake based on cardio-respiratory signals. The device was desig ...

Automatic Skin Enhancement with Visible and Near-Infrared Image Fusion

Sabine Süsstrunk

Skin tones, portraits in particular, are of critical importance in photography and video, but a number of factors, such as pigmentation irregularities (e.g., moles, freckles), irritation, roughness, or wrinkles can reduce their appeal. Moreover, such “defe ...

Face Image Enhancement Using 3D and Spectral Information

Sabine Süsstrunk, Charles Dubout

This paper presents a novel method of enhancing image quality of face pictures using 3D and spectral information. Most conventional techniques directly work on the image data, shifting the skin color to a predefined skin tone, and so do not take into accou ...

Effect of wellbore storage and finite thickness skin on flow to a partially penetrating well in a phreatic aquifer

David Andrew Barry

An analytical model is presented for the analysis of constant flux tests conducted in a phreatic aquifer having a partially penetrating well with a finite thickness skin. The solution is derived in the Laplace transform domain for the drawdown in the pumpi ...

Assessing human skin color from uncalibrated images

Sabine Süsstrunk

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolled lighting c ...

Color correction of uncalibrated images for the classification of human skin color

Sabine Süsstrunk

Images of a scene captured with multiple cameras will have different color values due to variations in capture and color rendering across devices. We present a method to accurately retrieve color information from uncalibrated images taken under uncontrolle ...

Notch1 and Notch2 receptors influence progressive hair graying in a dose-dependent manner

Freddy Radtke, Friedrich Beermann

The Notch signaling pathway is involved in diverse biological processes such as cell fate decisions or stem cell maintenance. In this study, we assessed the role of this pathway for melanocyte development and hair pigmentation using RBP-Jkappa, Notch1, and ...

Automatic Red-Eye Removal based on Sclera and Skin Tone Detection

Patrick Vandewalle

It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...

Consistent image-based measurement and classification of skin color

Sabine Süsstrunk

Little prior image processing work has addressed estimation and classification of skin color in a manner that is independent of camera and illuminant. To this end, we first present new methods for 1) fast, easy-to-use image color correction, with specializ ...
