The rheology of saltwater taffy by Chan, San To, Haward, Simon J., Fried, Eliot, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…As a sufficiently high frequency is exceeded, taffy transitions from a critical gel-like state to an elastic solid-like state. The master curve can be described by the fractional Maxwell gel (FMG) model with three parameters: a plateau modulus, a characteristic relaxation time, and a power-law exponent. …”

Real-time facial expression recognition system by Xu, Meng Yao

“…To implement the face expression recognition, histogram-of-oriented-gradient (HOG) based object detector, active shape model (ASM) and extreme learning machines (ELM) algorithms are used in this project. The real-time recognition system could locate face regions, extract facial features and recognise basic human expressions that could be considered as an important study or exploration for the future driving safety enhancement.…”
