Researchers who have tried to measure appearance discrimination, or "uglyism" and "looksism," and the impact of what they call the "beauty premium" and the "plainness penalty" on income, say that the time has come for ugly to peek out from beauty's shadow.
The first order moment (mean) roughly measures the appearance of images.
Cronbach's alpha for the measures of appearance schematicity, thin internalisation, dietary restraint, and body dissatisfaction in the present experiment was.97,.97,.74, and.93, respectively.
This is a direct transport assay that measures the appearance in the PM of a pulse of radiolabelled ergosterol generated in the ER.
This is a fascinating finding, providing very strong support for the inclusion of objective measures of appearance in studies exploring the psychosocial impact of PE, particularly where this includes an evaluation of treatment.
In this way, the event-related spectral perturbation measure [ 36] may be applied to measure event-locked changes in spectral power, and intertrial phase coherence to measure the appearance and degree of this consistency near experimental events.
We further integrate the brightness, color, and texture cues for measuring the appearance similarity between regions in an over-segmentation, which, together with the CREA information, are utilized for making the region merging decisions.
We measured grain appearance quality (different types of chalky grains) and grain shape (width, length, thickness) with a grain quality inspector (RGQI20A; Satake Corp., Hiroshima, Japan) equipped with image analysis software.
The reaction was performed at room temperature for 1 min by measuring the appearance of phenol at 270 nm with the use of continuously and automated recording spectrophotometer.
Progression was defined as a 20% increase in the diameter of all measured lesions, appearance of new lesions and/or doubling from baseline of CA125 tumor marker concentration.
