Experimental trampling trials using a standardized methodology were undertaken in 10 replicate blocks in three vegetation types in an urban reserve in the subtropics of Australia. In each block different intensities of trampling (controls, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400 and 500 passes) were applied, and vegetation parameters were measured pre-trampling, immediately after trampling and...

in the present study, mechanical properties and low cycle fatigue behavior of a solid-solutionized aa6061 aluminum alloy produced by equal channel angular pressing (ecap) process were investigated. the grain refinement after two passes of ecap significantly increased the yield stress and ultimate tensile stress and decreased the ductility of the alloy. however, the improvement of low cycle fati...

Hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. In this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. This method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. The mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. Several...
