It is difficult to create scenes where multiple characters densely interact with each other. Manually creating the motions of characters is time consuming due to the correlation of the movements between the characters. Capturing the motions of multiple characters is also difficult as it requires a huge amount of post-processing of the data. In this paper, we explain the methods we have proposed...

Common Chinese characters between Japanese and Chinese have been proved to be effective in Japanese-Chinese phrase alignment. Besides common Chinese characters, Japanese and Chinese also share many other semantically equivalent Chinese characters. However, there are no available resources for this kind of Chinese characters. In this paper, we propose a statistical method aiming to detect these ...

This paper presents a true-concurrent approach to formalising integration of Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with Web services. Our approach formalises common notions in service-oriented computing such as conversations (interactions between clients and web services), multi-party conversations (interactions between multiple web services) and coordination protocols, which are central in a tran...

There is increasing evidence that sedentary behaviour is in itself a health risk, regardless of the daily amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Therefore, sedentary behaviour should be targeted as important health behaviour. It is known that even relatively small changes of health behaviour often require serious efforts from an individual and from people in their environment to beco...

In this paper, a problem of sub-word segmentation of printed Sindhi, an Arabic style scripting language, into characters is addressed. Printed or handwritten Sindhi text is cursive in nature. In the cursive writing, mostly the subsequent characters in a word are joined with each other. In the proposed segmentation algorithm, first of all, Height Profile Vector (HPV) of thinned primary stroke of...

In patients taking antiplatelet medications who are undergoing dental surgery, physicians and dentists must weigh the bleeding risks in continuing antiplatelet medications versus the thrombotic risks in interrupting antiplatelet medications. Bleeding complications requiring more than local measures for hemostasis are rare after dental surgery in patients taking antiplatelet medications. Convers...
