...Re Face Recognition Paper Adriana Zachry Psych/560 November 13, 2012 Christopher Wessinger Face Recognition Paper Face recognition develops slowly through life. Recognizing a face can be a difficult for the individual and also for the brain system that processes. The complexity of recognizing individual faces can be a difficult task at times. Recognizing faces also includes looking at an individual’s emotional expression and then, being able to take that information and processing it. This can be more complicated because facial recognition also includes the processing of emotions and emotional content. The brain can easily recognize a face without encountering any complications. Facial identification is essential for recognition of people in the social context within our society. The basic process of visual perception includes translating incoming stimulus into a perception and memory. When an individual will initially sees an object or a person, this information then gets processed through the brain. Bottom up and top down processing plays a critical role in object recognition. When we first look at an object we process it. This is called bottom up processing. When people apply previous knowledge to that object, it is known as top down processes. There is also a process when we recognize an object; we match an incoming object with stored information that helps us to recognize what is before us. A study was conducted by Palmer, Rsich and Chase on the perspective...

...My project #1 paper will be on if a parent deploying has a negative effect on children. My argument is that deploying does have a temporary negative effect on children. I believe that this is an important topic that has been somewhat overlooked. Children with military personnel parents face unique challenges compared to other children and those challenges may cause negative side-effects. Without recognizing that these negative effects occur, it is not possible to support the children affected and possibly counteract the negative effects. The audience I intend to address are a few different groups, first the parents. Most military parents are aware of how their children are affected when exposed to a deployment, for those that are not, however,...

...Visual Information Processing Paper Laura Nancy Vargas PSYCH/64 December 2, 2013 Holly Berry Perception Paper Humans have a unique and wonderful device in how one sees. The eye and brain work together to turn the world into visual data one’s brain can understand and use. There are some eye conditions that inhibit the sight or the recognition of the shapes one sees. Research continues to overcome these conditions as well as to further understand the biochemical reaction that gives humans the sight and understanding one has of visual data. Included in the paper are some of the latest research methods. Describe Visual Information Processing The way a human eye and brain works together to produce visual data understandable to the brain is through a biochemical reaction to light turned into neural impulses by the brain. The section of the brain dedicated to interpreting vision is the visual cortex. . Light passes through the lens and the vitreous humor and falls on the retina at the back of the eye (J.R. Anderson, 2009, pg. 34). The retina includes the light sensing or photoreceptor cells. These cells change physical shape when exposed to light. The photoreceptor cells are of two kinds; rods and cones. At this point the photochemical process occurs that turns the information of the light, including shapes, texture, color, orientation, and depth, into neural impulses. Rods are the cells that when exposed to less light energy are responsible for less sharp images, the kind...

...Speaking as a college student today, I face the racial ghost of the Jim Crow past, experience implications that African Americans have faced before, and if the trend continues reality suggests that I will face them forever. As my identity of a black man in America, it is constantly being attacked, with many microaggressions I battle outside in the world. Inside, it is tiresome, mentally it is like being paper cut 3,000 times with wounds that heal slowly and being left with scars that never leave. With microaggressions To set right Racial Battle Fatigue is to stop microaggressions in its tracks. “Recognizing and Interrupting” is a remedy to stop microaggressions. By “Recognizing and Interrupting”, includes taking the action to interrupt the oppressive action after it has been recognized. This is very important, because this will lead individual to more of an anti-oppression approach to microaggressions. “Educating Self”, being more educated in microaggressions, and the effects it has on an individual can actually improve skills to handling...

...Intended goal/s: The goal of this activity is to introduce children to the names of various emotions and to assist them in recognizing how people look when they are experiencing a particular emotion. This activity is also designed to promote the children’s social skills and can be tailored to include children from ages 3 to 5yrs old. There is a vast difference in social ability in those ages, therefore, the lesson needs to be modified slightly depending on the age group. For the younger children, who might not be capable of working in in groups of 2, a small group with a teacher would be the best way to implement the activity. Furthermore, those who are 5yrs old would benefit from grouping up with a partner as they are old enough to stay on...

...OLU Lawal English 101 Section 0203 The Bully and the School Having the chance to wake up every weekday and go to school is an opportunity 121 million children around the world lack (Shah, "Poverty Facts and Stats”). On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of the children in the United States, and other First World countries, have access to educational resources. Yet, around 160,000 children in the United States alone miss school because of bullying (Phoenix & Honda, “Our children Faces a Bullying Epidemic”). Since most bullying takes place at school, it is imperative that these schools take actions by implementing anti-bullying policies into their school code of conduct. The schools are primarily responsible for reducing bullying among students and must seek effective solutions to this growing problem. Bullying would not be such a huge problem if school officials stepped up and started intervening. But how can they intervene when many cannot even recognize signs of bullying, or have not been trained on how to properly handle the situation? If not handled correctly, it can worsen and create more issues for the victims. In a survey done by Frank Barone, principal of Amsterdam High School New York, teachers believed approximately 16% of students are bullied victims (Barone,80). Barone also surveyed students, 58% of whom revealed that they are bullied victims. He found three core reasons as to why teachers and faculty members do not recognize bullying. First, the teachers...

...Abstract— Face recognition is a biometric system used to verify or identify a person from a digital image. This involve extracting features of face and then recognize it, regardless of expression, lighting, illumination, transformations (translate, rotate and scale image), ageing and pose. The existing approaches are deblurring based, joint deblurring and recognition, deriving blur invariant features and direct approach, which uses convolution model for performing face recognition in the presence of blur. So these methods cannot handle non uniform blurring situations that frequently arise from rotations and tilts in hand held cameras. In this paper, face recognition is done, in the presence of space varying motion blur. We have taken the concept that the set of all images obtained by non-uniformly blurring a given image form a convex set. We develop an algorithm based on TSF (Transformation Spread Function) model. On each focused...

...by reading the manual Action Item 2: Set aside twenty minutes two times a week to practice using positive tone of voice, facial expression and body language when I speak. o Intermediate Goal 3: Get feedback and track my progress Action Item 1: Have face-to-face interaction with someone else and ask them where you did good and where you need more practice. Action Item 2: Be conscious of hand gestures, facial grimacing, and bodily/ kinesthetic movement. In this personal goal to develop both verbal and nonverbal communication skills, the very first thing that I must accomplish is to be an active listener. To be an active listener is to engage all of my senses. Making sure that I am present and giving the person that I am speaking with my undivided attention. Showing interest and encouraging the person to express himself or herself completely without interruption, judgement or criticism. In order to complete this goal, I have to be aware that developing effective communication skills is a process that may not occur overnight. Even though I may feel a need to interrupt, it is critical to hear exactly what a person is saying verbally and read accurately the nonverbal cues. There may be some barriers that I have to face to see this completely through. Like age, sex, ethnicity or race, or cultural differences. Being attuned to my own values, beliefs, traditions and customs allows...

...ABSTRACT This paper looks at the challenges of intergenerational as well as intercultural communication. It will examine where these challenges come from and how best to overcome them for effective workplace communication. Effective Communication Communicating Across Generational and Cultural Lines With people working later in their lives, there are more generations in any given workplace than ever before. The topic of intergenerational communication has moved to the forefront as it carries its own unique challenges and rewards. The International Encyclopedia of Communication refers to intergenerational communication as applying “to interactions involving individuals who are from different age cohorts or age groups” (Intergenerational Communication). Simply put, intergenerational communication means the way in which we communicate between different generations in the workplace. Currently there are four potential generations in the workplace. Each has their own unique set of values and way of working. Rieva Lesonsky defines each generation in her article Managing Different Generations in the Workplace: 1) Traditionalists – Born between 1922 and 1942 “These are the traditionalists, valuing hard work and commitment, loyalty to a cause and a company. "Whatever it takes" can be heard as their motto, and they will do just that to get a job done. However, Builders like things to be the way they've always been; what worked for them will work for others. They are...

...Online education vs. traditional education a compare and contrast Traditional education used to be the primary means of furthering ones education. However, in recent years online education has become more popular and is currently the preferred means of education. When concerning the convenience of the education, and resources online education has surpassed its opponent. Did you know that According to the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics Enrollment in degree-granting institutions between 2000 and 2010, increased by 37 percent, from 15.3 million to 21 million? (Source U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. (2011).The Condition of Education 2011(NCES 2011 -033), Table A-43-1). During the same period, online education courses accounted for an estimated 12.2 million enrollments. These numbers are hard to ignore, and it is safe to say that while some people feel traditional education is better for their educational needs; online education is quickly becoming the preference for Americans returning to school, but why? I want to compare the two and let you choose for yourself. From the outside, looking in we can see that both online and traditional education hold their students to a very high academic standard. Both have an academic code of conduct that is in place to ensure the quality of the education provided. With either online or traditional education, penalties are in place for students who violate the...

...Communication/Information Technology Paper In many of the organizations today, one may observe a great deal of communication sources that a company may use for communicating. For example, in most health care facilities a physician may use a pager as a source for communication whenever he or she is needed or the administrative staff would rely on emails when communicating throughout the company. In researching voice recognition, this paper will include how this system affects communication in health care, the advantages and disadvantages of using the system, how efficient and effective communication is with this system, and what is the short and long term financial impact of the organization. Voice recognition is an electronic system in which the voice of a human is recognized by a machine such as a computer. In using the speech recognition systems, the system is pre-programmed with stored template words with each input of speaking is compared and the closest word or phoneme is given out. In using the voice system in health care, communication can be less complicated. When considering the use of handwriting in health care reading files or paperwork a doctor signed off on can be a puzzle in figuring out what was written. Handwriting documents gives an immediate access to a record, using the handwriting system documentation is not as comprehensive as a dictated note. Using voice recognition in communication ensures the doctor prompt and accurate documents. Voice recognition in...

...few decades. In an increasingly global economy, the main lever by which central governments can influence the success of the domestic economy is by ensuring its public sector operates efficiently. The central governments of the developed economies have adopted similar change agendas to transform their public sectors. These change agendas entail the introduction of new structures, new kinds of organizations and a ‘reinvention’ of many parts of the public sector. The intention of successive governments has been the creation of a ‘New Public Sector’, which is more strategic and corporate in its thinking. This ‘New Public Sector’ is intended to replace a public sector characterized by bureaucracy, professionalism and departmentalism. In this paper we take a specific look at the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) from an accounting perspective to shed light on the influence and changes involved of defining something as an accounting entity. We will look closer at and critically evaluate the issues involved in the representation of NOMS as an accounting entity. Furthermore, we will analyze the implications of the representation of NOMS as an accounting entity on definitions of organizational accountability. Therefore, we look in a next step which aspects of NOMS’ accountability are highlighted in the Accounts and what aspects are left out? Finally we examine what issues, items and risks are kept “off-balance sheet”? And what might be consequences of this. According to Hendrikson...
