In this paper, an automated video surveillance for crime scene detection using statistical characteristics is presented. The system is named Public Safety System(PSS). If the scene shows some peculiar situation such as purse-snatching, kid napping and fighting on the street, the PSS recognize the situation and automatically report to agency. Localization of moving targets in the scene and human behavior...
This study was designed to elucidate the problem-solving skills used by frequent and infrequent Chinese video game players to negotiate impasses encountered while playing video game. All participants were instructed to think aloud while playing a video game for 20 consecutive minutes. Comments were made with thinking aloud. Findings showed that frequent players made significantly greater reference...
Cellular polymer films have an enhanced charge storage capability, since the charge drift across the film is hindered by the presence of voids. Furthermore, modulating the morphology of those cellular polymer structures, very high piezoelectric activities can be obtained. In this work, polypropylene (PP) and polyetherimide (PEI) cellular films were produced using novel methods and their morphology,...
The knowledge discovery process is interactive in nature and therefore minimizing query response time is imperative. The compute and memory intensive nature of data mining algorithms makes this task challenging. We propose to improve the performance of data mining algorithms by re-architecting algorithms and designing effective systems support. From the view point of re-architecting algorithms, knowledge-conscious...
This paper discusses an ontology based language modeling text mining approach to the annotation of protein community. Communities appear to play an important role in the functional properties of complex networks. Being able to annotate the identified the community structure in a biological network can help us to understand better the structure and dynamics of biological systems. Traditional method...
This paper addresses the identification of critical modes in electric power systems and the effective locations of decentralized Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) for a wide range of operating conditions. First the critical modes and the suitable locations for PSSs are identified for a nominal system by checking eigenvalue ranking indices and residues corresponding to these critical modes. Then perturbations...
We have developed a software system, PHI-PSI, on the Connection Machine that uses a parallel algorithm to retrieve and use information from a database of 112 known protein structures (selected from the Brookhaven Protein Databank) to predict the structures of other proteins. The φ and angles of each amino acid (the angles each amino acid forms with its immediate neighbors) in a protein are used to...
