Appearance comparisons styles and eating disordered symptoms in women
Eating Behaviors, 2016The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between styles of upward and downward appearance comparisons and eating disordered symptoms in women.

Proton MRI appearance of cystic fibrosis: Comparison to CT
European Radiology, 2006Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most frequent inherited disorder leading to premature death in the Caucasian population. As life expectancy is limited by pulmonary complications, repeated imaging [chest X-ray, multislice high-resolution computed tomography (MS-HRCT)] is required in the follow-up. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung parenchyma is a

A comparison of two appearance based methods for gender recognition
2017 25th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2017Gender recognition has been widely used in research areas like biometric security systems, human computer interaction and verbal/nonverbal communication in recent times. However, due to different appearances of human face and negative environmental effects on face images, gender recognition is still a hot research area in the field of computer vision ...

Eating Behaviors, 2017
While the frequency of weight-based teasing during childhood/adolescence has been linked to eating disturbance, limited research has examined the impact of negative appearance commentary experienced in young adulthood. Appearance comparisons have been shown to mediate the relationship between weight-based teasing frequency in childhood/adolescence and ...

Comparison of models to simulate leaf appearance in wheat
European Journal of Agronomy, 1995Prediction on of leaf appearance in cereals is important for modelling canopy development and timing crop management practices. Four models which aim to predict leaf emergence on the basis of temperature and, in three cases, photoperiod are compared against independent data from a wide range of sites, sowing dates and cultivars of spring and winter ...

Body Image, 2008
This research examined whether comparison target moderates the effects of naturally occurring appearance-focused social comparisons on women's affect, appearance esteem, and dieting thoughts. During daily activities, body-satisfied (BS) women and body-dissatisfied (BD) women recorded their comparison targets and reactions to comparison information. For

From competition to compassion: A caregiving approach to intervening with appearance comparisons
Body Image, 2018This study used a novel intervention grounded in social mentalities theory to compare the effects of cultivating a caregiving versus competitive mentality when intervening with appearance comparisons. For 48 hours, 120 female undergraduates were randomly assigned to use one of three strategies whenever they made unfavorable appearance comparisons ...

Upward appearance comparison and the development of eating pathology in college women
International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2013ABSTRACTObjectiveBody dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors are common among college women, yet only a subset of this population develops clinically significant disordered eating symptoms during college. Appearance‐based social comparisons, particularly those made to others with “better” bodies (i.e., upward appearance comparisons), have ...

Comparison and combination of ear and face images in appearance-based biometrics
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2003Researchers have suggested that the ear may have advantages over the face for biometric recognition. Our previous experiments with ear and face recognition, using the standard principal component analysis approach, showed lower recognition performance using ear images.

Comparison of mapping techniques in appearance-based topological maps creation
2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010), 2010In this paper we compare two methods to carry out topological mapping using only visual information captured by a robot. This map should contain enough information so that the robot can estimate its position and orientation and redundant information should be removed to get an acceptable computational cost during the localization process.
