The data of this article are generalized the distribution of meteorological indexes, sedimentation rates, chemical elements (including their state forms) and palinological remnants in the manyaged sediments and deposits thickness of SE Baltic region areas (Pustelnikovas, 2012 a, b, Pustelnikovas et al., 1996, 2012 et al.).
The most fundamental means of maintaining mechanical safety is to systematically carry out safety design and analysis in the mechanical design process. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is to take the advantages of the level analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Firstly, the evaluation index system is divided into ladder level structure, calculated the index...
This Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a field in which the developer makes a user friendly system. In this paper, a real-time Human-Computer Interaction based on the hand data glove and k-NN classifier for gesture recognition is proposed. HCI is becoming more and more natural and intuitive to be used. The important part of body that is hand is most frequently used as interaction in digital environment...
To evaluate the ambient air quality status of the Fuxin city in Aug-Nov, 2011, we established fuzzy comprehensive evaluation mathematical model and membership function using lower semi-trapezoid distribution through the distribution of data collection and selecting the main factor affecting air quality, and have the result that urban monthly average air quality has declined with the temperature during...
Sustainable development analysis is the important problem in contemporary domestic and international. The analysis about sustainable development evaluation index system spreads widely in the international, this paper analyzes sustainable development index system of research results in the relevant international organizations and main developed countries. We point out the characteristics of the related...
Existing structural similarity (SSIM) index comprises of one term on luminance comparison and the other term on contrast and structure comparison. In this paper, the SSIM index is first improved by introducing three weighting factors to the second term such that it is adaptive to local intensities of two images to be compared. The improved SSIM (iSSIM) index is further extended for two images with...
Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive and in-vivo imaging modality, which can take images from different depths of the human skin. A challenging problem is to detect a clinically important subsurface section of the skin, the Dermis/Epidermis junction, in RCM images. This is a tough problem because of the huge variation of texture and intensity features across both intersubject and...
China is the largest country to produce and consume Chinese medicine in world. People have come to realize that the side effects of chemical medicine gradually because serious pollution, ecological environment deterioration and human ‘lifestyle disease’ are among the most severe challenges with which human beings are faced today. The voice for “return to nature” becomes louder and louder. To find...
Although vaccination is still the most cost-effective strategy for tuberculosis control, there is an urgent need for an improved vaccine. Current BCG vaccine lacks efficacy in preventing adult pulmonary tuberculosis, the most prevalent form of the disease. Targeting nasal mucosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection site, will allow a simpler, less prone to risk of infection and more effective immunization...
In this work, we decompose an input video clip into multiple smaller intervals, measure the quality of each interval separately, and apply a fusion approach to integrating these scores into a final one. To give more details, an input video clip is first decomposed into smaller units along the temporal domain, called the temporal decomposition units (TDUs). Next, for each TDU that consists of a small...
Joint motion profiles from nine human test subjects were recorded while catching and lifting a sphere. Significant differences between the two tasks presented themselves consistently across all test subjects. In general, larger abductions and hyperextensions of the metacarpophalangeal joints were observed. The joint motions of the test subjects were simulated in Simulink with a skeletal structure...
Processing short texts is becoming a trend in information retrieval. Since the text has rarely external information, it is more challenging than document. In this paper, keyword clustering is studied for automatic categorization. To obtain semantic similarity of the keywords, a broad-coverage lexical resource WordNet is employed. We introduce a semantic hierarchical clustering. For automatic keyword...
The detection of salient regions from mesh surfaces is an important preprocessing step for many 3D applications, such as mesh simplification, registration, segmentation and compression, etc. The detected salient regions can facilitate the understanding of the structure and finding the regions/components that are important on 3D surfaces. This paper proposes a novel method for saliency detection by...
Significant structural and functional development of the heart occurs during the ontogenesis. Age-related features of the left ventricular (LV) functional geometry (FG), i.e. changes in the LV shape during the cardiac contractile cycle, are insufficiently studied. We assessed the differences in quantitative characteristics of LVFG between healthy adults and newborn infants of the first five days of...
In this paper, effective grading of arecanuts is proposed. The Arecanut RGB image is converted into YCBCR color space. Three sigma control limits on color features are determined for effective segmentation of arecanuts. Color features are used for the grading of arecants with the help of support vector machines (SVMs) into two grades i.e. Boiling and Non-boiling nuts effectively. Experimental k-fold...
Binary numbers (BNs) generation is crucial for wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) security because they can be utilized for authentication or encryption of physiological data in WBSNs for healthcare applications. The paper compared pseudorandom number generators and biometrics based binary number generators for WBSNs, i.e. generated from the linear congruential generator (LCG) and the interpulse...
Functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI) has great potential for assessment of rehabilitation effects and several objective scale. Our aim of this study is evaluating the objective scale of rehabilitation using the LI index in fMRI. The index of left hand task was improved time by time otherwise the index of the right hand task was slightly decreased. Our study confirmed the LI index can be objective...
Do individual differences in dispositional behavioral tendencies, such as immersive tendency and need to belong, play a significant role in human-robot interaction? To answer this question, the present study conducted a 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment to examine the effects of immersive tendency (high vs. low) and need to belong (high vs. low) on individuals' perceptions of a social robot. Preliminary...
This paper presents the propensities of preference for Human Robot Interaction (HRI) according to different personalities and facial expressions of humans and robots. This study is based on two types of personalities: extroverted and introverted. According to the personality, the facial expressions are distinguished to express extroversion and introversion. The design of experiment is a 3 (participant's...
BPM software is playing more and more important role in the enterprise management, and the trust evaluation of Business Processes Management software is becoming a hot research topic. Based on inductive analysis of business processes software used in various fields, this paper has made a trust definition and has built an evaluation index system that confirms the importance of the indicators by the...
