Behaviour recognition in a video scene consists of several distinct sub-tasks: objects or object parts must be recognised, classified and tracked, qualitative spatial and temporal properties must be determined, behaviour of individual objects must be identified, and composite behaviours must be determined to obtain an interpretation of the scene as a whole. In this paper, we describe how these ...

This paper analyses the treatment effect of the "coagulation-sedimentation-O3-biological sand filtration-GAC" combined process on phthalic acid esters in secondary effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plant and meanwhile evaluate its health risk. The results indicated that when the concentrations of DBP and DiOP in secondary effluent were at range of 0.41 mg/L-0.814 mg/L and 0.23 mg/L-0.3...

The western is the only fully-fledged film genre defined by geographical location. Yet does this mean that place, or a sense of place, plays a more significant role in the Western than in other film genres? On the face of it, it would seem that it does not. For the most part, place typically appears in the Western as little more than the scenic background to the action that is the real thread o...

Preservation of extraordinary natural resources, protection of water quality, and restoration of impaired waters require a strategy to identify and protect least-disturbed streams and rivers. We applied two objective, quantitative methods to determine stream ecological integrity of headwater reaches of 10 Ozark rivers, 5 with Wild and Scenic River federal protective status. Thirty-four variable...

This paper conducts a systematic research on evaluation destinations with help Delphi method hierarchical analysis, selecting four factors such as facility services, teaching, geographic environment resource characteristics to ...

Standard cultivation fails to grow most microorganisms, whereas in situ cultivation allows for the isolation of comparatively diverse and novel microorganisms. Information on similarities and differences in the physiological properties of isolates obtained from in situ cultivation and standard cultivation is limited. Therefore, we used the arctic sediment samples and compared two culture collec...

The objective in the Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) problem is to develop an automatic classification algorithm that matches human subjective ratings. Algorithms such as Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Decision Trees (DT) have been applied to this problem with limited success, motivating our search for a better classifier. Since this is obviously a nonlinear classification problem, we a...
