Towards Interpretable Face Morphing via Unsupervised Learning of Layer‐Wise and Local Features

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Discovering meaningful face morphing is critical for applications in image synthesis. Traditional unsupervised methods rely on global or layer‐wise representations, neglecting finer local details and thus limiting the control over specific facial attributes.

Contribution of genetic and environmental factors to obesity indices and their overlap

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Numerous indices have been developed to quantify obesity and the distribution of body fat; however, none are sufficient alone, and combined usage is complicated by their potential intercorrelation. This study aims to quantify genetic and environmental influences on anthropometric measures, 12 derived obesity indices and the extent of ...

Non-linear relationship between relative fat mass and diabetes risk in Japanese adults: a retrospective cohort study

Scientific Reports
Background: Relative fat mass (RFM) represents a newly developed sex-specific anthropometric formula to estimate total body fat percentage. Nonetheless, research examining the correlation between RFM and the risk of diabetes remains scarce. This research

Use of the oral microbiota as screening test to identify children at risk for caries development. A systematic review of longitudinal studies

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated trends in oral microbiota composition (index test) that could indicate potential candidates to identify children at risk for dental caries development compared with visual/tactile examination (reference test). MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Lilacs, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases were searched up ...
