Automatic age progression and estimation from faces
Recently, automatic age progression has gained popularity due to its numerous applications. Among these is the frequent search for missing people, in the UK alone up to 300,000 people are reported missing every year. Although many algorithms have been proposed, most of the methods are affected by …

Facial identification from online images for use in the prevention of child trafficking and exploitation
… received a 432% increase in child sexual abuse images for the purposes of identification between 2005 and 2009 (U.S. Department of Justice, 2010), and they assisted in the identification of 2,589 victims related to indecent images of children in 2015 (NCMEC, 2015a). In relation to the vast number …

Type II diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular markers in humans: a prospective study in hellenic homogeneous population
… biochemical factors in a selection of different age groups of diabetic patients was studied. The purpose of the present work was the identification of biochemical parameters in plasma, which may serve as predisposition factors to CVD in T2DM patients of different age. The variability of …

Studies of Seismic Sources in Antarctica Using an Extensive Deployment of Broadband Seismographs
… provide several lines of evidence including the age progression of the exposed volcanic line as well as radar images featuring a recent ash layer supporting the continued magmatic activity in the ECR. My final investigation is into a new type of icequake in East Antarctica associated with …

Computational Face Recognition Using Machine Learning Models
… due to e.g., occlusion, low-resolution, and ageing. The problem of computer-based face recognition using partial facial data is still largely an unexplored area of research and how does computer interpret various parts of the face. Another challenge is age progression and regression, which is …

An Imaging Approach to Examine Telomere Dynamics and Regulation of Gene Expression with Aging
… methods to measure the shortest (not just average) telomere lengths (TLs) are needed. Progressive telomere shortening with increasing age has been associated with shifts in gene expression through models such as the telomere position effect (TPE), which suggests reduced interference of the …

Future Preventive Gene Therapy of Polygenic Diseases from a Population Genetics Perspective
… diseases. Computer simulations of population age progression under the assumption that relative disease liability remains proportionate to individual polygenic risk have demonstrated that individuals with higher polygenic risk scores will become ill and be diagnosed proportionately earlier, …

Unravelling the Dynamical Mechanisms Underpinning Intra-Plate Volcanism Within and Around Earth's Continents
… exhibit a geometrical pattern known as a linear age progression, in which volcanoes grow older in the direction of plate motion, mantle plumes are the preferred driving mechanism for the initiation of mantle melting. Elsewhere, shallower convective instabilities, bound to significant changes in …

Dentofacial morphology analysis: improved guidelines for forensic craniofacial reconstruction
… craniofacial reconstruction (CFR): (i) the average soft tissue depth (ASTD) pattern, (ii) naso labial soft tissue estimation, and (iii) facial musculature estimation/reconstruction with particular emphasis on the origin of a muscle that helps define the shape of the cheeks, the zygomaticus major …

Facial Identification of Children: A Test of Automated Facial Recognition and Manual Facial Comparison Techniques on Juvenile Face Images
… to be of the utmost importance.<br/><br/>Images of child sexual abuse are shared, copied, and distributed online and their origin can be difficult to trace. Current investigations attempting to identify the children within such images appear to focus on the determination of places or …
