A Comparison Of Four Classification Algorithms For Facial Expression Recognition, Hivi I. Dino, Maiwan B. Abdulrazzaq

Polytechnic Journal

Facial expression recognition (FER) has achieved an extreme role in research area since the 1990s. This paper provides a comparison approach for FER based on three feature selection methods which are correlation, gain ration, and information gain for determining the most distinguished features of face images using multi-classification algorithms which are multilayer perceptron, Naïve Bayes, decision tree, and K-nearest neighbor (KNN). These classifiers are used for the mission of expression recognition and for comparing their proportional performance. The main aim of the provided approach is to determine the most effective classifier based on minimum acceptable number of features by analyzing …

Oyster reefs are vital to estuarine health, but they experience multiple stressors and globally declining populations. This study examined effects of hypoxia and tributyltin (TBT) on adult Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) exposed either in the laboratory or the field following a natural hypoxic event. In the laboratory, oysters were exposed to either hypoxia followed by a recovery period, or to hypoxia combined with TBT. mRNA expression of HIF1-α and Tβ-4 along with hemocyte counts, biomarkers of hypoxic stress and immune health, respectively, were measured. In field-deployed oysters, HIF1-α and Tβ-4 expression increased, while no effect on hemocytes was …

The Potential Of Mln3651 In Combination With Selumetinib As A Treatment For Merlin-Deficient Meningioma, Rimmer J Lyons, Emanuela Ercolano, Daniele Baiz, Mahindra Makhija, Allison Berger, Todd Sells, Steve Stroud, David Hilton, Claire L. Adams, C. Oliver Hanemann

Peninsula Medical School

Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumour, and surgical resection is the main therapeutic option. Merlin is a tumour suppressor protein that is frequently mutated in meningioma. The activity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, CRL4-DCAF1, and the Raf/MEK/ERK scaffold protein Kinase suppressor of Ras 1 (KSR1) are upregulated in Merlin-deficient tumours, which drives tumour growth. Identifying small molecules that inhibit these key pathways may provide an effective treatment option for patients with meningioma. We used meningioma tissue and primary cells derived from meningioma tumours to investigate the expression of DDB1 and Cullin 4-associated factor 1 (DCAF1) and KSR1, …

Does Expectation Influence Relationship? A Mixed Methods Investigation Of Parental Expectation And Parent-Child Relationship Among Chinese Family Groups 期望是否會影響關係？華裔家庭中父母的期望對親子關係的影響之研究, Sharon Chiang, Sharon Chiang, Sharon Chiang

Education Dissertations

Abstract

Parental expectation, particularly among Chinese family groups, is understood to be formative upon their children’s identity, behavior in family relationships, educational success and decisions in career choices. China's long history of traditionalism in its social values, heavily based on Confucian philosophy of the family, bears this out. Significant social changes have happened in recent years due to political shifts, modernization, capitalization, immigration, and government population control policies. However, expectation is an element on which both academic study and educational research are rather limited. Current study has touched on the topic of parental expectation and raised some awareness, but the …
