Fullerene-Like Spheres with Faces of Negative Curvature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Given R\subset N, an (R,k)$-sphere is a k-regular map on the sphere whose faces have gonalities i\in R. The most interesting/useful are (geometric) fullerenes, i.e., (\{5,6\},3)$-spheres. Call _i=1 + \frac{i}{k} - \frac{i}{2} the curvature of i-gonal faces. (R,k)-spheres admitting _i<0 are much harder to study.

A novel general kernel-based non-negative matrix factorisation approach for face recognition

open access: yesConnection Science, 2022
Kernel-based non-negative matrix factorisation (KNMF) is a promising nonlinear approach for image data representation using non-negative features. However, most of the KNMF algorithms are developed via a specific kernel function and thus fail to adopt ...

Negative triangles : simple geometric shapes convey emotional valence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It has been suggested that downward pointing triangles convey negative valence, perhaps because they mimic an underlying primitive feature present in negative facial expressions (Larson, Aronoff, and Stearns, 2007). Here, we test this proposition using a

The Negative Effect of Ability-Focused Praise on the “Praiser’s” Intrinsic Motivation: Face-to-Face Interaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Most previous research has demonstrated that receiving ability-focused praise (e.g., “You are smart”) negatively affects intrinsic motivation following failure.

Emotional context can reduce the negative impact of face masks on inferring emotions

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
While face masks prevent the spread of disease, they occlude lower face parts and thus impair facial emotion recognition. Since emotions are often also contextually situated, it remains unknown whether providing a descriptive emotional context alongside ...

Recognition of faces in photographic negative [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Science, 1970
Recognition of faces from still photographs was measured asa function of whether the faces were presented in positive or in negative during the initial viewing and subsequent recognition procedures. Recognition accuracy was significantly lower when faces were initially viewed in negative, regardless of their mode of presentation during the recognition ...
