Image enhancing drugs: A narrative review on the motivational risk factors influencing skin lightening use
(2021-06-05)Introduction In societies that place a great emphasis on physical appearance and body aestheticism, the use of image enhancing drugs (IEDs) has become increasingly widespread. Of particular concern is the use of skin ... -
The image of the Shanghai 2010 Expo the contribution of single pavilions to Shanghai's global image
(2013-12)This article offers a retrospective of the Shanghai World Expo 2010, placing it within an historical framework and hence comparing it to the other major World Expos from 1851 on. The study analyzes various national ... -
Image redundancy reduction for neural network classification using discrete cosine transforms
(2000)High information redundancy and strong correlations in face images result in inefficiencies when such images are used directly in recognition tasks. In this paper, discrete cosine transforms (DCT) are used to reduce image ... -

Images in Space: The Challenges of Architectural Spatiality in Comics
(Inter-Disciplinary Press, 2016-01-01)A selection of hypercomics that extend the concept of the Infinite Canvas are examined to address the challenges of architectural spatiality. As comics gradually leave behind the trappings of the printed page, the language ... -
Images, light curves and spectra of GRB afterglow
(1999)We calculate the light curve and spectra near the peak and the self absorption break, for an adiabatic blast wave described by the Blandford-McKee solution, considering the emission from the whole region behind the shock ... -
Imagination in a Christmas Carol

Imagine an Imageless Imagination
(2017-11-10)A trend in contemporary discussion pertaining to the imagination has attempted to theoretically conceptualise a type of qualia-free imagination, commonly referred to as propositional imagination. This paper argues that an ... -
Imaging and polarimetry of the galactic-center in the near infrared
(1984)IR images of the Galactic center in H, K, L-prime and M are the bases of the present measurements of positions, magnitudes and colors for 35 sources which can be divided into two classes: those with colors typical of ... -
Imaging cortical vasculature with stimulated Raman scattering and two-photon photothermal lensing microscopy
(2012-05)The ability to map microvascular morphology and hemodynamic parameters, such as blood volume, is desirable for many biomedical studies and will lead to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of angiogenesis and vascular ... -
Imaging drugs, metabolites and biomarkers in rodent lung: a DESI MS strategy for the evaluation of drug-induced lipidosis
(2019-12)Within drug development and pre-clinical trials, a common, significant and poorly understood event is the development of drug-induced lipidosis in tissues and cells. In this manuscript, we describe a mass spectrometry ... -
Imaging Linear Polarimetry of Proto-planetary Nebulae: the Origins of Asymmetry
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2000)It now seems likely that asymmetries in the circumstellar envelope (CSE) of intermediate mass stars develop during the latter stages of mass outflow as a star approaches the tip of the AGB. These asymmetries in the CSE ... -
Imaging of X-Ray-Excited Emissions from Quantum Dots and Biological Tissue in Whole Mouse
(2019-12-16)Optical imaging in clinical and preclinical settings can provide a wealth of biological information, particularly when coupled with targetted nanoparticles, but optical scattering and absorption limit the depth and resolution ... -
Imaging polarimetry of class I young stellar objects
(1998-09-21)We present near-infrared imaging polarimetry of three class I young stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud. We use Monte Carlo simulations to analyse the flux distributions and polarization patterns of these three ... -
Imaging Polarization of the Blue-excess Hot Dust-obscured Galaxy WISE J011601.41–050504.0
(2022-07-28)We report on VLT/FORS2 imaging polarimetry observations in the R Special band of WISE J011601.41–050504.0 (W0116–0505), a heavily obscured hyperluminous quasar at z = 3.173 classified as a Hot Dust-obscured Galaxy (Hot ... -
An Imaging survey of nearby spiral galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002)We describe the progress of a large optical and near-infrared imaging study of a complete sample of 57 spiral galaxies. We have obtained B, I, K' and Ha imaging to map stellar populations and massive star formation (SF) ... -
Imaging the environment of A z = 6.3 submillimeter galaxy with scuba-2
(2014-08-28)We describe a search for submillimeter emission in the vicinity of one of the most distant, luminous galaxies known, HerMES FLS3, at z = 6.34, exploiting it as a signpost to a potentially biased region of the early universe, ...
