Locality-aware Channel-wise Dropout for Occluded Face Recognition [PDF]
, 2021 Face recognition remains a challenging task in unconstrained scenarios, especially when faces are partially occluded. To improve the robustness against occlusion, augmenting the training images with artificial occlusions has been proved as a useful approach.

Fatalities due to intestinal obstruction following the ingestion of foreign bodies [PDF]
, 1994 Two fatalities due to an occlusive ileus following the ingestion of foreign bodies in patients with psychiatric disorders are described. A severely mentally handicapped young man developed a temperature and died 1 h after admission to a surgical ward. At

Finding Temporally Consistent Occlusion Boundaries in Videos using Geometric Context [PDF]
, 2015 We present an algorithm for finding temporally consistent occlusion boundaries in videos to support segmentation of dynamic scenes. We learn occlusion boundaries in a pairwise Markov random field (MRF) framework. We first estimate the probability of an spatio-temporal edge being an occlusion boundary by using appearance, flow, and geometric features ...

When Face Recognition Meets Occlusion: A New Benchmark [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The existing face recognition datasets usually lack occlusion samples, which hinders the development of face recognition. Especially during the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic, wearing a mask has become an effective means of preventing the virus spread. Traditional CNN-based face recognition models trained on existing datasets are almost ineffective for ...

Blood, 2015 Treatment of vaso-occlusive crises (VOC) or events in sickle cell disease (SCD) remains limited to symptom relief with opioids. Animal models support the effectiveness of the pan-selectin inhibitor GMI-1070 in reducing selectin-mediated cell adhesion and

Wound healing and hyper-hydration - a counter intuitive model [PDF]
, 2016 Winters seminal work in the 1960s relating to providing an optimal level of moisture to aid wound healing (granulation and re-epithelialisation) has been the single most effective advance in wound care over many decades.

Haemodynamic unloading reverses occlusive vascular lesions in severe pulmonary hypertension.
Cardiovascular Research, 2016 AIMS An important pathogenic mechanism in the development of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension is hypothesized to be a cancer-like cellular proliferation independent of haemodynamics. However, because the vascular lesions are inseparably coupled

The Importance of Hydration in Wound Healing: Reinvigorating the clinical perspective [PDF]
, 2016 Balancing skin hydration levels is important as any disruption in skin integrity will result in disturbance of the dermal water balance. The discovery that a moist wound healing environment actively supports the healing response when compared to a dry ...
