Background: Residents of rural areas may be at increased risk of mental health problems. If so, public health programs aimed at preventing poor mental health may have to be customized for delivery to rural areas. The purpose of this study... more
Despite the importance of rigorous testing data for evaluating face recognition algorithms, all major publicly available faces-in-the-wild datasets are constrained by the use of a commodity face detector, which limits, among other... more
The number of images and videos available for search on the Internet is in the order of a trillion images, making current brute force search techniques prohibitively inefficient on such large scales. As society continues to increase our... more
As unconstrained face recognition datasets progress from containing faces that can be automatically detected by commodity face detectors to face imagery with full pose variations that must instead be manually localized, a significant... more
Automatic face recognition technologies have seen significant improvements in performance due to a combination of advances in deep learning and availability of larger datasets for training deep networks. Since recognizing faces is a task... more
Three COVID-19 vaccines are licensed for emergency use in the USA: the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna/NIH mRNA-based vaccines, and the Johnson & Johnson (J&J)/Janssen human adenovirus (Ad26) vaccine. These vaccines have immunized ~160... more
Background: Numerous COVID-19 vaccines are authorized globally. To date, *71% of doses comprise the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and *17% the Moderna/NIH vaccine, both of which are messenger RNA (mRNA) based. The chimpanzee Ad-based... more

The role of metals in forming the primary cross-links in slug glue was investigated. Several metal-binding proteins were identified in the defensive glue produced by the slug Arion subfuscus . Notably, the C-lectins that are unique to the... more
