A video stream consists of a number of shots each of which has different boundary types such as cut, fade, and dissolve. Many previous approaches can find the cut boundary without difficulty. However, most of them often produce false alarms for the videos with large motions of camera and objects. In this paper, we demonstrate that the shape of the histogram difference between two successive col...

TRECVID (TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation) is sponsored by NIST to encourage research in digital video indexing and retrieval. It was initiated in 2001 as a “video track” of TREC and became an independent evaluation in 2003. AT&T participated in three tasks in TRECVID 2006: shot boundary determination (SBD), search, and rushes exploitation. The proposed SBD algorithm contains a set of finite sta...

We present improved algorithms for automatic fade and dissolve detection in digital video analysis. We devise new two-step algorithms for fade and dissolve detection and introduce a method for eliminating false positives from a list of detected candidate transitions. In our detailed study of these gradual shot transitions, our objective has been to accurately classify the type of transitions (f...

In this study, we report the detection of dissolve oxygen (DO) by using a blend Ruthenium oxide and polyaniline (PANI) coated on platinum electrodes. Optical properties PANI were characterized Ultraviolet - Visible (UV-Vis) Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. order to study sensitivity thin films PANI: blend, cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements was performed with electrodes oxide. ...

CONTEXT Bitter taste, as well as dissolve time, presents a significant challenge for the acceptability of formulations for oral transmucosal drug delivery. OBJECTIVE To characterize a novel sublingual tablet formulation of buprenorphine/naloxone with regards to pharmacokinetics, dissolve time and formulation acceptability. METHODS Dry mixing techniques were employed to produce a small and f...

Abstract Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2 ) is the most refractory copper mineral when treated in conventional sulfate media leaching systems. This first study to examine use of a dimethyl sulfoxide (CH 3 SOCH , DMSO) solution containing chloride (CuCl for chalcopyrite. Leaching experiments concentrate composed mainly chalcopyrite were conducted at ambient pressure 313–413 K. The fractions Cu, Fe, S, Au, ...

Nitrogen-filled “Vacutainers” (Becton-Dickinson, Rutherford, N. J. 07070) have been proposed for the anaerobic collection of specimens for blood gas determinations (1). We have indicated (2) that these devices, as currently supplied by the manufacturer, contain oxygen and may produce spuriously high P(02) and percentage oxyhemogobin (HbO) values. We had previously indicated preference for the u...
