This document summarizes a research paper on facial expression recognition for security purposes. It begins with an introduction on the importance of facial expressions in interpersonal relations and security. It then describes the system architecture, which involves detecting faces and facial features, representing subtle expression changes, and interpreting these changes to recognize emotions. The system employs the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) to classify facial deformations into action units. Potential issues addressed include geographical variability, personalization and calibration, and dealing with missing values through facial symmetry. Evaluation results show average accuracy of 71.7% for recognizing emotions like joy and surprise.
Effect of Co doping on the structural and physical properties of SrC4H4O6.3H2...IJMER
Single crystals of strontium tartrate and cobalt doped strontium tartrate crystals were
grown by the single diffusion gel growth technique. The growth conditions were optimized by varying
the parameters such as pH, concentration of the gel, gel setting time and concentration of the reactants.
Silica gel was used as the growth medium with test tubes as crystallization vessels. Crystals having
different morphologies were obtained (transparent and few opaque). The grown crystals were
characterized by carrying out PXRD, SXRD, FTIR spectral, UV-Vis-NIR spectral, SHG, PL spectral,
AAS, microhardness and TG/DTA measurements. The tri hydrate crystals belong to the monoclinic
crystal system and the tetra hydrate crystals belong to orthorhombic crystal system and are optically
transparent, NLO active, mechanically soft and thermally stable up to 100 °C. AAS measurement
revealed the presence of Co atoms in the doped crystals. Results indicate that Co-doping significantly
increases SHG efficiency. Details are presented
Orientation Effects of Stress Concentrators on the Material Deformation Behav...IJMER
Present investigation pertains to carry out to experimental work to generate data in order to
establish the mode of material deformation and fracture in AISI 316 stainless steel strips of 1.70mm thickness in
the presence of elliptical notches at the center of the specimen whose major axis were designed to incline to the
tensile axis at an angle of 0o
, 45o
and 90o
and the same happens to be the axis of rolling. An elliptical hole of
8.00mm (major axis) with 5.0mm (minor axis) were machined in each specimen so as to correspond to the above
angles of 0o
45o
and90o
and one specimen without any elliptical hole as a notch for comparative analysis of the
experimental data. These flat specimens with and without stress concentrators were tested under tension using
Hounsfield Tcnsomctcr and the changes in notch geometry have been recorded at various loadings. Further, the
visual appearance of the cracks initiation have been continuously observed and recorded. The effect of stress
ratio factors and the strain ratio parameters on the mode of fracture on material deformation in and around the
stress concentrator has been thoroughly analyzed and it has been established that the crack initiation began
either at the inner tips of the minor or the major axis of the elliptical stress concentrator, but, always
perpendicular to the direction of loading irrespective of the rolling direction and the orientations of the stress
concentrators. However, the changes in the rotation of the major and the minor axis of the elliptical stress
concentrators were found to alter, and, this alteration in fact assisted in estimating the strains along the major as
well as the minor axis of the stress concentrators. Relation between a plastic strain ratio with respect to the ratio
between the major and the minor strains was observed to be of extremely complex nature. The overall
observation in the present investigation has indicated that thin strips or sheet specimens containing a single or
multiple or a combined type of stress concentrators will create a keen interest in the research approach of the
investigators and make them aware of the seriousness of the presence of the stress concentrators and caution
them to incorporate any possible design notifications in order to avoid any catastrophic failure (s).

Time Dependent Quadratic Demand Inventory Models when Delay in Payments is Ac...IJMER
An EOQ model is constructed for deteriorating items with time dependent quadratic demand rate. It is assumed that the deterioration rate is constant and the supplier offers his retailer the credit period to settle the account of the procurement units. To solve the model it is further assumed that shortages are not allowed and the replenishment rate is instantaneous. We have presented the models under two different scenarios, viz., (i)the offered credit period is less than or equal to the cycle time and (ii) the offered credit period by the supplier to the retailer for settling the account is greater than cycle time. The objective is to minimize the retailers total inventory cost. Salvage value is also taken to see its effect on the total cost. A numerical example is given to study the effect of allowable credit period and the total cost of the retailer.
This document presents a study on detecting bilirubin levels in human blood using laser technology. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced from the breakdown of heme and high levels can indicate jaundice. The study used a 532nm laser passed through blood samples containing known and unknown amounts of bilirubin. By measuring the transmitted laser power, the absorption coefficient was calculated and used to determine bilirubin concentrations. Tests on adult and baby blood samples found the laser technique results matched well with standard medical bilirubin measurements, within an error of 1.5-2%. Therefore, this laser method shows potential for noninvasively detecting jaundice levels.
This document summarizes a strategy for choosing optimal process parameters for operating a nutrient mist reactor to grow hairy roots. It presents a theoretical model and numerical simulations.
The model describes the evolution of liquid holdup and nutrient concentration in the root bed under intermittent misting cycles. Guidelines are provided for selecting the feed concentration, flow rate, and durations of mist-ON and mist-OFF cycles. Numerical simulations show that the reactor can be run with very low cumulative mist-ON duration (e.g. 10% of total time) while keeping the mist-OFF for most of the time (e.g. 90%), to prevent nutrient deficiency or waterlogging in the root bed. The optimal durations of misting cycles depend on

2. Top 3 SEO Mistakes to Avoid
Search Engine Optimization doesn’t require a PhD in Web Technology but it’s important that you create
a solid plan before you begin. In fact once you get to grips with some of the seo basics you can achieve a
lot.
Does it take work? Well yes!*! Like anything in life you get out what you put in. So here are 3 classic
mistakes that new online marketers make and it is critical that you avoid them.
1. Choosing the wrong keywords.
Understanding keywords and how they affect your ability to increase targeted website traffic is
paramount. They are the foundation of your SEO efforts and if you choose wrong, you may end up with
nothing to show for your hard work!
Conversely, if you optimize each page for intelligent keywords, you’ll get an increase in website traffic
from those looking for the types of products and services you offer. As a starter use the Google keyword
tool. If you want something that will save you time and is more specific you can’t go wrong
with Samurai. This is a keyword tool I actually use every day. There is also a free trial. I think it is over
12 days. In theory you could get most of it done in this time.
2. Disregarding the need to optimize each page.
Many novice SEO consultants and expert business owners optimize the homepage but disregard the rest.
That is why I love blogs so much unless your website consists of just one page, this is something you’ll
want to avoid.
For best results each page of your website should be optimized around 1-2 keyword phrases. This way,
you’ll improve your chances of getting good rankings (and traffic) across a variety of terms.
It’s near impossible to get each page ranked well for dozens of terms. This is why it is so crucial to
optimize each and every page.

3. 3. Forgetting to build backlinks.
Many website owners mistakenly believe that their website will garner good search engine rankings and
attract links without any involvement on their part. While natural links may come over time, you will
need to build links yourself if you really want to compete.
After ensuring that you’ve chosen the right keywords, the building of links should be your number one
priority. This activity will do more to improve your ranking in the SERPs than any other.
