This paper examines Internal Vowel Alternation (IVA) in Noun Plurals (e.g. 'tooth/teeth') and Past Tense formation (e.g. 'sing/sang') according to the signoriented theory of the Columbia School (CS) in general and the theory of Phonology as Human Behavior (PHB) in particular. Today, these IVA forms are considered to be "irregular", and are vestiges of former prevalent and productive processes i...

objective : this study aimed to review papanicolaou (pap) smears in patients of shohada hospital in tehran. materials and methods :  a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out and a database search of all pap smear reports from 1995 to 2005 at cytopathology department was reviewed. the abnormal pap smear reports based on the bethesda system were assessed. results : a total of 13315 pap...

The quality of general movements (GMs) was assessed repeatedly during the first postnatal months in a mixed group of 52 children at either low or high risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. In addition, all children were reexamined at 4 to 9 years. The follow-up assessment consisted of a neurological examination and an evaluation of behaviour by means of parental questionnaires. The quality of ...

This paper applies a video modelling technique to a surveillance scenario where pedestrians are monitored to detect unusual events. The aim is to investigate the components of an automatic vision system capable of detecting normal and abnormal behaviour. Such a system has application in surveillance scenarios like town centre plazas, stadiums, train stations and shopping malls. Surveillance usu...

Intelligent Video-Surveillance (IVS) systems are being more and more popular in security applications. The analysis and recognition of abnormal behaviours in a video sequence has gradually drawn the attention in the field of IVS, since it allows filtering out a large number of useless information, which guarantees the high efficiency in the security protection, and save a lot of human and mater...

We address the analysis of fish trajectories in unconstrained underwater videos to help marine biologist to detect new/rare fish behaviours and to detect environmental changes which can be observed from the abnormal behaviour of fish. The fish trajectories are separated into normal and abnormal classes which indicate the common behaviour of fish and the behaviours that are rare/ unusual respect...

This paper proposes an unsupervised abnormality detection method using a distributed video surveillance system in an intersection. Among the most important researches in intelligent transportation systems, especially in field of urban traffic management, automatically intersection flow monitoring is one of the critical and challenging tasks. The main focus of this paper is to analyse activities...
