In this paper, we present a new solution to the problem of multi-camera tracking with non-overlapping fields of view. The identities of moving objects are maintained when they are traveling from one camera to another. Appearance information and spatio-temporal information are explored and combined in a maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework. In computing appearance probability, a two-layered hist...

BACKGROUND Protein S100B is soon in clinical use as a sensitive marker after mild traumatic head injury in adults. Initial studies of S100B in pediatric head injury have shown promising results. Venous sampling can be challenging in children and capillary samples are often a preferred option. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between capillary, venous and arterial measurement...

This paper describes analysis of on-chip bus power in the presence of arrival time variations of input signals. With shrinking process geometries, coupling power between neighboring bus lines has enlarged. The coupling power depends on not only signal transition type but also the relative signal transition time difference. For conventional dynamic power estimation, deterministic models of the t...

An arrival flight traffic model is presented to simulate time-varying arrivals via airport arrival fixes to runway. The underlying simulation was developed to support an analysis of airborne holding at airport meter fixes, based on changes in arrival capacity and operating procedures of the destination airport. A principal challenge was developing a modeling approach for aircraft arrivals, wher...

this paper presents the prediction of vehicle's velocity time series using neural networks. for this purpose, driving data is firstly collected in real world traffic conditions in the city of tehran using advance vehicle location devices installed on private cars. a multi-layer perceptron network is then designed for driving time series forecasting. in addition, the results of this study a...

Recent investigations have shown that the influences of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) may be detrimental to the seismic response of structure, and hence neglecting this phenomenon in analysis and design may lead to an un-conservative design. The objective of this paper is to quantify the effects of nonlinear soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of a low-rise special moment fram...
