Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products to perform multi-modality vertebrae recognition are provided. Aspects of the present disclosure disclosed and described herein enable a multi-modality vertebrae recognition engine that recognizes vertebrae by using a three-stage recognition approach: landmark detection, global shape registration, and local pose adjustment. These stages cover the matching from local to global spine structures. The three stages are implemented by three modules in the hierarchical deformable model, the local appearance module, global geometry model, and local geometry model. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the overall workflow can be understood as a three-stage top-down registration. The goal of the registration is: 1) to align the global shape of the spine model, and 2) to align the vertebrae poses with the local image structures around identified landmarks.

Abstract: A liquid adhesive for nail polish is a topical composition that is used to facilitate the application and removal of nail polish as well as the creation of intricate nail polish designs. The composition includes rubber latex and water. The liquid adhesive may also include an antiseptic composition of ammonium hydroxide and thiram, a preserving composition of zinc oxide, an aromatic agent, a coloring agent, and a moisturizing agent. The rubber latex forms a liquid-impermeable coating on the surface of the user's skin or nail once applied. This allows a dried coating of the liquid adhesive to be peeled from the skin or nail along with any nail polish applied over the coating. The composition may additionally exhibit antimicrobial and antifungal properties as well as a resistance to decomposition and other unwanted chemical and physical changes.
