A Face Identification System Based on the Mahalanobis–Taguchi System

In this paper, we propose a face identification system based on the Mahalanobis–Taguchi System (MTS). The MTS is one of the pattern recognition methods frequently used in quality engineering, and can perform robust pattern recognition by using training data, including noise. It is likely that this advantage will allow the effective implementation of a robust face identification system against lighting and face position fluctuations. Moreover, the MTS can optimize the number of attributes required for identification by using the orthogonal array and the signal/noise (SN) ratio. The face identification system has to deal with many users and the amount of data in a facial image is large. Therefore, the time required for identification can be decreased and the amount of data in the facial image database can be reduced by performing the optimization. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed system through practical experiments. The experimental results revealed that the MTS was an effective method for robust face identification, and could effectively reduce the number of attributes required for identification.     

Data distribution schemes of sparse arrays on distributed memory multicomputers

A data distribution scheme of sparse arrays on a distributed memory multicomputer, in general, is composed of three phases, data partition, data distribution, and data compression. To implement the data distribution scheme, many methods proposed in the literature first perform the data partition phase, then the data distribution phase, followed by the data compression phase. We called a data distribution scheme with this order as Send Followed Compress (SFC) scheme. In this paper, we propose two other data distribution schemes, Compress Followed Send (CFS) and Encoding-Decoding (ED), for sparse array distribution. In the CFS scheme, the data compression phase is performed before the data distribution phase. In the ED scheme, the data compression phase can be divided into two steps, encoding and decoding. The encoding step and the decoding step are performed before and after the data distribution phase, respectively. To evaluate the CFS and the ED schemes, we compare them with the SFC scheme. In the data partition phase, the row partition, the column partition, and the 2D mesh partition with/without load-balancing methods are used for these three schemes. In the compression phase, the CRS/CCS methods are used to compress sparse local arrays for the SFC and the CFS schemes while the encoding/decoding step is used for the ED scheme. Both theoretical analysis and experimental tests were conducted. In the theoretical analysis, we analyze the SFC, the CFS, and the ED schemes in terms of the data distribution time and the data compression time. In experimental tests, we implemented these three schemes on an IBM SP2 parallel machine. From the experimental results, for most of test cases, the CFS and the ED schemes outperform the SFC scheme. For the CFS and the ED schemes, the ED scheme outperforms the CFS scheme for all test cases.

Chemical amplification — A novel approach to ultratrace analysis

The lowest concentration that can be estimated with 100% error in chemical analysis by instrumental technique is referred to as detection limit. It is equal to the ratio of twice the background signal to the magnitude of analytical signal corresponding to a concentration of unity. Detection limit (dl) could be improved if the analytical signal alone could be selectively amplified without affecting the background. It is shown that this could be achieved by chemical amplification. Atomic amplification of two or three orders of magnitude could be obtained by combining two chemical amplifications in series. It is demonstrated that by using heteropoly acid formation as the first amplification reaction and determining molybdenum in the heteropoly acid by catalyticdc polarographic wave, a detection limit for the hetero atom of less than a ppb can be obtained. It is pointed out that the approach of selectively amplifying analytical signals by tandem chemical amplification reactions makes it possible to perform ultratrace analysis (ppb level) with classical instrumental analytical techniques which havedl at ppm level.

Metabolic and cardiovascular responses to exercise with caffeine

The effect of caffeine on circulation and metabolism was studied during a discontinuous maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max) test on a bicycle ergometer. Eight male subjects were chosen for their minimal use of caffeine of which six normally did not ingest caffeinated beverages. Two caffeinated and two decaffeinated (control) trials were administered to each subject following double-blind and counterbalanced testing procedures. One hour before exercise, subjects ingested decaffeinated coffee with or without 350 mg of caffeine anhydrous added. Cardiac output (Q) was measured by a C0₂ rebreathing technique. Compared to control trials, caffeine increased the VO₂ max by an average of 140ml min?¹ (p <0-0·5)l. In addition, during caffeine trials, the average maximal heart rate (HR max) was elevated by 5 beats min^?1 (p<0·01). There were no other statistically significant changes in metabolic (VO₂ and R) and cardiovascular (Q, HR, SV and (a-v) 0₂ diff) variables during either submaximal or maximal exercise. Performance, as measured by total exercise time on the VO₂ max test, was not significantly different (p>0·05). It was concluded that caffeine has a small physiological but a statistically significant effect on VQ₂ max and HR max. During submaximal exercise, caffeine did not significantly effect the cardiovascular system.
