Syed A. Naqi
No full textDr. Syed A. Naqi in a faculty photograph. Physical description: black-and -white print (photograph)17X12mmDr. Syed A. Naqi in listed in the 1979-1980 Faculty Directory with the following information. "Associate Professor of Veterinary Microbiology & Parasitology; B.V.Sc. (D.V.M.)-Osmania U. (India)1961; M.S. 1967 and Ph.D. 1969 in Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology at Texas A&M ; Diplomate, A.C.V.M." As of 2017 he was listed as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology. One of his special areas of study is Avian medicine. He left Texas in 1987 to join the faculty at Cornell University and as of 2016 was teaching Microbiology and Immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar.
"Syed had an interesting history. After completing his veterinary training at Osmania University in India, he took a position as a Research Associate with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) India Program, managing a large poultry operation in that country. Dr. Earl Moore, who had been on the Cornell faculty as a turkey pathologist in the late 1940s and early 1950s, was in India at the time working with the USAID program helping to modernize the poultry Industry. He met Dr. Naqi and, impressed with his abilities, convinced him to come to the United States for advanced work in avian medicine. Syed did so, earning an MS (1967) and a PhD (1969) at Texas A&M University and ultimately joining the avian disease faculty there. Thus, there was a link between Naqi and Calnek in that they both were indebted to Earl Moore for the nudges that teered them into research careersin avian medicine. Dr. Naqi gained a strong reputation for both his teaching and his research skills and represented an ideal addition to our faculty. Accordingly, he was aggressively recruited and was appointed as a Full Professor with tenure." [Calnek, Bruce W. , A History of Avian Medicine at Cornell University 1898-2008.

Mediapipe based Preprocessed VGGFace2 Dataset
No full textVGGFace2 Dataset and Face Mesh PreprocessingIntroductionThe VGGFace2 dataset is a large-scale face recognition dataset containing over 3.31 million images of 9,131 identities, with an average of 362 images per identity. The dataset is designed to include extensive variations in pose, age, illumination, ethnicity, and profession, making it one of the most diverse and challenging face recognition datasets available. For more details, please refer to the original publication:VGGFace2: A dataset for recognizing faces across pose and age - DOI: 10.48550/arXiv.1710.08092
Preprocessing Using MediaPipe 3D Face MeshOn this dataset, we applied the MediaPipe-based 3D face mesh algorithm to accurately detect faces while removing all background elements, including hair. Our preprocessing strictly retained facial landmarks, ensuring that only the essential facial features were preserved. This approach significantly enhanced the accuracy and generalization of our model, as the model was trained exclusively on landmark-based facial data.
Training and PerformanceThe preprocessed data was utilized to train Xception model, which resulted in remarkably accurate outcomes due to the strictly landmark-based facial representation. The model demonstrated robust performance including explainable-AI, proving that eliminating unnecessary background elements contributed positively to its efficiency and reliability.

Recent Case: Syed v. M-I, LLC
No full textIn a case of first impression for the federal appellate courts, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held in Syed v. M-I, LLC that when a liability waiver is included in the document that contains the disclosure and authorization information, the FCRA is violated based on Section 1681b(b)(2)(A)’s mandate that the document consist “solely” of the disclosure and authorization. More importantly, the court held that including such a liability waiver was a willful violation of the statute, potentially resulting in increased penalties

Teacher Ethics Perspective Syed Naquib Al-Attas and KH. M. Hasyim Asy'ari
No full textThis study wants to reveal in detail the teacher's ethics according to two different points of view. First, the point of view of the leader of Islamic education reformer Syed Naquib Al-Attas Malaysia. Second, is the figure of Indonesian Islamic education, KH. M. Hasyim Asy'ari Indonesia. The research method used is a literature study combined with content analysis. So the answer is that the teacher ethics perspective of Syed Naquib Al-Attas and KH. M. Hasyim Asy'ari has differences in the details. However, it has a similar goal, namely to strengthen the transfer of knowledge that is strongly connected with the transfer of attitude (Adab/Akhlak)
