Published: July 2007

The dimensionality of face space is measured objectively in a psychophysical study. Within this framework, we obtain a measurement of the dimension for the human visual system. Using an eigenface basis, evidence is presented that talented human observers are able to identify familiar faces that lie in a space of roughly 100 dimensions and the average observer requires a space of between 100 and 200 dimensions. This is below most current estimates. It is further argued that these estimates give an upper bound for face space dimension and this might be lowered by better constructed "eigenfaces" and by talented observers.

Background: Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is the standard of care for moderate and/or severe skeletal class III (SCIII) malocclusion. Following orthognathic surgery, morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint structures (TMJ) may contribute to condylar resorption (CR).

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the morphological signs of condylar resorption (changes in the condylar head, position, neck, disk, and joint space) following orthognathic surgery in patients with SCIII compared with those with skeletal class II (SCII) malocclusion.

Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) entails designing molecules that could potentially interact with a specific biomolecular target and promising their potential binding. The stereo- arrangement and stereo-selectivity of small molecules (SMs)--based chemotherapeutic agents significantly influence their therapeutic potential and enhance their therapeutic advantages. CADD has been a well-established field for decades, but recent years have observed a significant shift toward acceptance of computational approaches in both academia and the pharmaceutical industry.

Looped Penrose Drainages of Acute Hand Infections in Vulnerable Populations.

Purpose: Acute hand infections (AHIs) remain a challenge for hand surgeons and represent a condition for which clinical outcomes are considerably affected by social barriers. We previously described the looped Penrose drainage technique, where a drain is sutured to itself in a loop and the outflow tract of egress is maintained, thus obviating the need for large incisions, wound closure, or repeat packing, thereby reducing the follow-up burden. In the face of escalating numbers of socioeconomically vulnerable patients, especially in urban settings, we aimed to characterize the clinical features and outcomes of this technique in an urban population of patients with AHI.

Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) can provide high-throughput imaging by computationally combining low-resolution images at different spatial frequencies within the Fourier domain. The core algorithm for FPM reconstruction draws upon phase retrieval techniques, including methods such as the ptychographic iterative engine (PIE), regularized PIE (rPIE), and embedded pupil function FPM (EPRY-FPM). The calibration of the physical setup plays a crucial role in the quality of the reconstructed high space-bandwidth product (SPB) image.

In this study, we demonstrate a novel and efficient fabrication methodology for nonclose-packed, two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals exhibiting square lattice structures. In our recent work, we detailed the formation of 2D colloidal crystals via the electrostatic adsorption of three-dimensional (3D) charged colloidal crystals onto oppositely charged substrates. These 3D colloidal crystals possessed a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice structure with their (111) planes aligned parallel to the substrate, facilitating the formation of 2D crystals with triangular lattice arrangements upon adsorption.
