Most present face recognition approaches recognize faces based on still images. In this paper, we present a novel approach to recognize faces in video. In that scenario, the face gallery may consist of still images or may be derived from a videos. For evidence integration we use classical Bayesian propagation over time and compute the posterior distribution using sequential importance sampling. Th

Even though each country is trying to follow its own monetary policy, it is affecting other countries which have, trade and capital flow links with each other. hence, the monetary policy of each individual country has an impact at the global level. The study analyses this interdependence. More specifically, this book discusses the emerging international financial structure, the liquidity crises, f

Here we report a method for increased resolution of single exposure three modality x-ray images using super-resolution. The three x-ray image modalities are absorption-, differential phase- contrast-, and dark-field-images. To create super-resolution, a non-mechanically movable micro- focus x-ray source is used. A series of almost identical x-ray projection images is obtained while the point sourc

Metoden som presenteras i detta dokument är en tillämpning av ByggaF påprefabricerad småhustillverkning av hus med träbaserad stomme kallad:”ByggaF för Prefabricerade småhus med trästomme”, hädanefter omnämnd somByggaF-PST. ByggaF-PST är en metod som säkerställer, dokumenterar ochkommunicerar fuktsäkerheten i hela byggprocessen, från planering tillbruksskede. Metoden innebär ett arbetssätt för att

This dissertation examines Swedish welfare workers’ attitudes towards migrants and migration, their perceptions of welfare work with migrants and organisational working conditions. The dissertation is based on original survey data capturing attitudes and views of welfare workers in two Swedish welfare organisations. The thesis’ conceptual framework draws on three perspectives: street-level bureauc

BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are associated with adverse outcomes in educational achievements and economic performances. Moreover, the prevalence of these disorders is unequally distributed among different population subgroups. Our objective is to investigate whether the economic consequences of depression and anxiety differ between population subgroups of different gender, socioeconomic sta

In "Intentional action and side-effects in ordinary language” (2003), Joshua Knobe reported an asymmetry in test subjects’ responses to a question about intentionality: subjects are more likely to judge that a side effect of an agent’s intended action is intentional if they think the side effect is morally bad than if they think it is morally good. This result has been taken to suggest that the co

Through a discourse analysis of French and Swedish legislative debates from 1968 to 2017, this article examines how actors challenge and reinforce dominant ideas about the link between nationality and political rights. We argue that the broader political culture influences which discursive strategies—or “frames”—are more likely to structure parliamentary debates in different national contexts. How

In multicellular organisms cells grow, divide and adopt different fates, resulting in tissues and organs with specific functions. In recent years, a number of studies have brought quantitative knowledge about how these processes are orchestrated, shedding new light on cells as active and central players in morphogenesis. We explore recent advances in understanding plant morphogenesis from a quanti

In plants the dorsoventral boundary of leaves defines an axis of symmetry through thecentre of the organ separating the top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) tissues. Although thepositioning of this boundary is critical for leaf morphogenesis, how the boundary is established andhow it influences development remains unclear. Using live-imaging and perturbation experimentswe show that leaf orientation,

Evolution involves developmental change. Species comparisons play an important role in comparative cognition because they can uncover common patterns and shared principles in cognitive evolution. Developmental studies reveal foundational elements of cognitive abilities and how they are constructed and integrated. Sensorimotor cognition is such a key element that forms the foundation for later-deve
