Faster and safer evacuations induced by closed vestibules [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Improving emergency evacuations is a top priority in human safety and in pedestrian dynamics. In this paper, we use the social force model, in order to optimize high-anxiety pedestrian evacuations. We explore two architectural layouts, the 1-door vestibule, and the 2-doors vestibule.

Improving competitive evacuations with a vestibule structure designed from panel-like obstacles [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 It has been shown that placing an obstacle in front of an exit door has proven to be a successful method to improve pedestrian evacuations. In this work, we will focus on the space limited by the exit and the obstacles (i.e. the vestibule structure).

Nasal Patches and Curves for Expression-robust 3D Face Recognition [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
(PAMI), vol. 39, no. 5, pp. 995-1007, 2017, 2019 The potential of the nasal region for expression robust 3D face recognition is thoroughly investigated by a novel five-step algorithm. First, the nose tip location is coarsely detected and the face is segmented, aligned and the nasal region cropped. Then, a very accurate and consistent nasal landmarking algorithm detects seven keypoints on the nasal ...

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 223-229, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Bacterial meningitis (BM) and meningoencephalitis (BMEM) are associated with high case fatality rates and neurologic sequelae in people, but limited data exists on outcome in dogs. Hypothesis/Objectives To report the clinicopathologic features, treatment and outcome of BM/BMEM in dogs, with a focus on clinical presentation, relapse ...

SARS-CoV-2 Entry Genes Are Most Highly Expressed in Nasal Goblet and Ciliated Cells within Human Airways [PDF]
Nature Medicine, 2020, 2020 The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the etiologic agent responsible for COVID-19 coronavirus disease, is a global threat. To better understand viral tropism, we assessed the RNA expression of the coronavirus receptor, ACE2, as well as the viral S protein priming protease TMPRSS2 thought to govern viral entry in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets ...

Aneurysmal Fibrous Histiocytoma in Nasal Vestibule Mucosa
İstanbul Medical Journal, 2015 Aneurysmal fibrous histiocytoma is a different variant of dermatofibroma, characterized by blood-filled spaces within the fibroblastic tumor. In addition to the typical features of a dermatofibroma, it contains large cleft-like or cavernous blood-filled ...

Nasal airflow of patient with septal deviation and allergy rhinitis
Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art, 2021 A numerical simulation of a patient’s nasal airflow was developed via computational fluid dynamics. Accordingly, computerized tomography scans of a patient with septal deviation and allergic rhinitis were obtained.

Speaker-independent Speech Inversion for Estimation of Nasalance [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The velopharyngeal (VP) valve regulates the opening between the nasal and oral cavities. This valve opens and closes through a coordinated motion of the velum and pharyngeal walls. Nasalance is an objective measure derived from the oral and nasal acoustic signals that correlate with nasality.

Primary spray break-up from a nasal spray atomizer using Volume of Fluid to Discrete Phase Model [PDF]
, 2023 Spray atomization process involves complex multi-phase phenomena. Abundant literature and validation of spray modelling for industrial applications like fuel injection in internal combustion and turbine jet engines are available. However, only a handful of studies, primarily limited to discrete phase modelling, of low-pressure applications, such as ...
