A U-Net Architecture for Inpainting Lightstage Normal Maps

In this paper, we investigate the inpainting of normal maps that were captured from a lightstage.Occlusion of parts of the face during performance capture can be caused by the movement of, e.g., arms, hair, or props.Inpainting is the process of interpolating missing areas of an image with plausible data.We build on previous works about general imag

Factors influencing the community participation approaches used in Aedes mosquito management in the Torres Strait, Australia

Abstract Background Aedes-borne disease risk is increasing in tropical and sub-tropical regions across the globe.While Aedes-borne disease continues to disproportionally affect low- and Valve middle-income countries, parts of high-income countries, such as the Torres Strait region in Australia are also at risk.The Torres Strait is a group of island

Inhibitory and bactericidal power of mangosteen rind extract towards Porphyromonas Gingivalis and Actinobacillus Actinomycetemcomitans (Laboratory test)

Introduction: The bacteria that cause the occurrence of pathogens of periodontal disease are gram negative anaerobes.These bacteria include Pophyromonas Gingivalis and Actinobacillus Actinomycetemcomitans.Mangosteen skin extract is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti microbial, and anti oxidant properties.The extract of the mangosteen peel is alt

3PNMF-MKL: A non-negative matrix factorization-based multiple kernel learning method for multi-modal data integration and its application to gene signature detection

In this current era, biomedical big data handling is a challenging task.Interestingly, the integration of multi-modal data, followed by significant feature mining (gene signature detection), becomes a daunting task.Remembering this, here, we proposed a novel framework, namely, three-factor CRICKET PROTEIN VANILLA penalized, non-negative matrix fact
