relatives suggest that it is located far forward. Narial blood supply and cavernous tissue corroborate the rostral position in dinosaurs. A rostral nostril was, and remains, a virtually invariant rule of construction among Amniota, which has consequences for (i) nasal airstreaming, and hence various

is designed to work on ordinary frontal videos and to be able to recover brief nostril occlusion. Using the nostril position a motion compensated Accumulated Difference Image (ADI) is generated. This ADI is less noisy than the non-compensated one, and this leads to better mouth region tracking. Results show

This report describes our approach to the localization of the position of nostrils and chin. Basic demand is a good functionality on pictures of face without special make-up. The input picture contains face, hair and shoulders of observed person. We don't use any special lighting conditions

to detect difference of image density. We represent nostril position by a center of gravity of extracted nostril region, and apply moving average to a sequence of the detected nostrils positions. We decide reference positions of nostrils through a procedure that an interval of moving average is fixed into a

Background: The ancient Indian practice of ‘Pranayam ’ is clamed to improve pulmonary functions. Alternative Nostril Breathing (ANB) is a relatively less studied part of prayanam with regard to pulmonary functions. Methods: We investigated the effect of ANB on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR

retracted nostril rim was performed in 10 patients, using the combination of auricular composite graft, internal fixation with a retainer, and external continuing suspension with anchoring sutures. The procedure was successful in maintaining the grafted cartilage in the ideal position and in avoiding

the nostril excluded from contact with the rostral scale, distinctly enlarged and spinous tubercles on the dorsal surface, and specific colouration of juveniles and adults. The relationships of the new species are obscure: Based on the nostril position, P. lohatsara belongs to the phe-netic Paroedura picta

's condition with positive airway support provided by a brushless DC (BLDC) motor driven respirator blower fan by measuring Respiration Rate (RR). To measure the respiration rate, a pair of capacitive type respiration rate sensors are mounted below Right Nostril (RN) and Left Nostril (LN), in such a way

In this paper, we propose a method for fast and accurate extraction of feature points such as pupils, nostrils, mouth edges, and the like from dynamic images with the purpose of face recognition. Accuracy of face extraction with these feature points used as criteria greatly affects the capabilities

Ventilation rate (/v) in bats has been measured using various techniques. These include: holding the bats and positioning a hot-wire anemometer close to one nostril (Roberts, 1972); attaching a face mask incorporating a flow probe (Suthers
