Comparative study of manufacturing techniques for coronagraphic binary pupil masks: masks on substrates and free-standing masks [PDF]
, 2012 We present a comparative study of the manufacture of binary pupil masks for coronagraphic observations of exoplanets. A checkerboard mask design, a type of binary pupil mask design, was adopted, and identical patterns of the same size were used for all the masks in order that we could compare the differences resulting from the different manufacturing ...

A Unified Framework for Masked and Mask-Free Face Recognition via Feature Rectification [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Face recognition under ideal conditions is now considered a well-solved problem with advances in deep learning. Recognizing faces under occlusion, however, still remains a challenge. Existing techniques often fail to recognize faces with both the mouth and nose covered by a mask, which is now very common under the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2025.Regenerative pond aquaculture for EU food system. ABSTRACT Pond aquaculture and water protection in Europe suffer from conflicts, whereas multitrophic freshwater aquaculture technologies face hardships with over‐regulations in Europe. As such, inland freshwater aquaculture in land‐locked Europe has not given its contribution or echoed its importance in

Development and Evaluation of Monoclonal Antibodies for the Glucoside of T-2 Toxin (T2-Glc)
Toxins, 2013 The interactions between fungi and plants can yield metabolites that are toxic in animal systems. Certain fungi are known to produce sesquiterpenoid trichothecenes, such as T-2 toxin, that are biotransformed by several mechanisms including glucosylation.

Real Masks and Spoof Faces: On the Masked Face Presentation Attack Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Face masks have become one of the main methods for reducing the transmission of COVID-19. This makes face recognition (FR) a challenging task because masks hide several discriminative features of faces. Moreover, face presentation attack detection (PAD) is crucial to ensure the security of FR systems.
