17 Jun 1994TL;DR: A novel face-finding method that appears quite robust is reported on, using "snakelets" to find candidate edges and a voting method to find face-locations.
Abstract: In the problem area of human facial image processing, the first computational task that needs to be solved is that of detecting a face under arbitrary scene conditions. Although some progress towards this has been reported in the literature, face detection remains a difficult problem. In this paper the authors report on a novel face-finding method that appears quite robust. First, "snakelets" are used to find candidate edges. Candidate ovals (face-locations) are then found from these snakelets using a voting method. For each of these candidate face-locations, the authors use a method introduced previously to find detailed facial features. If a substantial number of the facial features are found successfully, and their positions satisfy ratio-tests for being standard, the procedure positively reports the existence of a face at this location in the image.

TL;DR: In this article, the spinless nodal fermion semimetal phase in ZrSiS was established using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations.
Abstract: The search for new topological phases of matter is a major new direction in condensed matter physics. Recent experimental realizations of Dirac and Weyl semimetal phases pave the way to look for other exotic phases of matter in real materials. In this paper, the authors present a systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of ZrSiS, a potential topological nodal semimetal candidate. Their systematic measurements establish the spinless nodal fermion semimetal phase in ZrSiS, which is supported by their first-principles calculations. This work puts forward the ZrSiS-type material family as a new platform to explore exotic states of quantum matter.

TL;DR: Even when foods are not palatable, large packages and containers can lead to overeating, and it may be that portion size can also be used to increase the consumption of less preferred healthful foods, such as raw vegetables.

TL;DR: The timing of the energy intake and the ratio of certain ingested macronutrients are likely the attributes which allow for enhanced recovery and tissue repair following high-volume exercise, augmented muscle protein synthesis, and improved mood states when compared with unplanned or traditional strategies of nutrient intake.
Abstract: Position Statement: The position of the Society regarding nutrient timing and the intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in reference to healthy, exercising individuals is summarized by the following eight points: 1.) Maximal endogenous glycogen stores are best promoted by following a high-glycemic, high-carbohydrate (CHO) diet (600 – 1000 grams CHO or ~8 – 10 g CHO/kg/d), and ingestion of free amino acids and protein (PRO) alone or in combination with CHO before resistance exercise can maximally stimulate protein synthesis. 2.) During exercise, CHO should be consumed at a rate of 30 – 60 grams of CHO/hour in a 6 – 8% CHO solution (8 – 16 fluid ounces) every 10 – 15 minutes. Adding PRO to create a CHO:PRO ratio of 3 – 4:1 may increase endurance performance and maximally promotes glycogen re-synthesis during acute and subsequent bouts of endurance exercise. 3.) Ingesting CHO alone or in combination with PRO during resistance exercise increases muscle glycogen, offsets muscle damage, and facilitates greater training adaptations after either acute or prolonged periods of supplementation with resistance training. 4.) Post-exercise (within 30 minutes) consumption of CHO at high dosages (8 – 10 g CHO/kg/day) have been shown to stimulate muscle glycogen re-synthesis, while adding PRO (0.2 g – 0.5 g PRO/kg/day) to CHO at a ratio of 3 – 4:1 (CHO: PRO) may further enhance glycogen re-synthesis. 5.) Post-exercise ingestion (immediately to 3 h post) of amino acids, primarily essential amino acids, has been shown to stimulate robust increases in muscle protein synthesis, while the addition of CHO may stimulate even greater levels of protein synthesis. Additionally, pre-exercise consumption of a CHO + PRO supplement may result in peak levels of protein synthesis. 6.) During consistent, prolonged resistance training, post-exercise consumption of varying doses of CHO + PRO supplements in varying dosages have been shown to stimulate improvements in strength and body composition when compared to control or placebo conditions. 7.) The addition of creatine (Cr) (0.1 g Cr/kg/day) to a CHO + PRO supplement may facilitate even greater adaptations to resistance training. 8.) Nutrient timing incorporates the use of methodical planning and eating of whole foods, nutrients extracted from food, and other sources. The timing of the energy intake and the ratio of certain ingested macronutrients are likely the attributes which allow for enhanced recovery and tissue repair following high-volume exercise, augmented muscle protein synthesis, and improved mood states when compared with unplanned or traditional strategies of nutrient intake.

TL;DR: The first observation of conical diffraction arising from k-space singularities in the band-structure of a periodic potential is predicted and presented.
Abstract: We study wave dynamics in honeycomb photonic lattices, and demonstrate the unique phenomenon of conical diffraction around the singular diabolical (zero-effective-mass) points connecting the first and second bands. This constitutes the prediction and first experimental observation of conical diffraction arising solely from a periodic potential. It is also the first study on k space singularities in photonic lattices. In addition, we demonstrate "honeycomb gap solitons" residing in the gap between the second and the third bands, reflecting the special properties of these lattices.
