In this paper, we provide a tool for automatically choosing appropriate music clips from a given audio collection and properly combining the chosen clips. To seamlessly concatenate two different music clips without causing any audible defect is really a hard nut to crack. Borrowing the idea from the musical dice game and the DJ’s strategy and considering psychoacoustics, we employ the currently...

In this thesis, I designed a system for augmenting a space with linked audio. Using this system, individuals can associate audio clips with a location in real-world space. When an individual using the system passes through this augmented space, he or she can hear the audio clips that have been left by traveling through the associated locations. Furthermore, audio clips in the environment can be...

Video clip retrieval plays a critical role in the content-based sports video retrieval. This paper proposes a content-based retrieval strategy of sports video clip in which visual and auditory features and text information are extracted to locate similar video clips. Because in sports game play scenes are concerned and interested for most audiences, a long sport video is first automatically seg...

We studied the effects of anteroventral third ventricle (AV3V) lesions on the vascular Na+-pump activity and blood pressure of rats prepared by the two-kidney Goldblatt procedure. Blood pressures and Na+-pump activity of the isolated tail arteries, measured as ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+-uptake were determined in rats with renal artery clips, rats with AV3V lesions, and rats with AV3V lesions. Rats...

Currently, tissue adhesives and glues are an alternative technology in clinical applications that are important both to the medical industry and surgical profession. Many of these emerging tissue adhesives could modify difficult surgical procedures by stabilizing tissue surfaces through hemostasis, sealing of wounds, and fixation of tissue in areas inaccessible to staples, clips, and suture pla...

This study is one of the very few, and the most extensive to date, which has examined deceptive behavior in a real-life, high-stakes setting. The behavior of 16 suspects in their police interviews has been analyzed. Clips of video footage have been selected where other sources (reliable witness statements and forensic evidence) provide evidence that the suspect lied or told the truth. Truthful ...

High-resolution image reconstruction refers to the problem of constructing a high resolution image from low resolution images. One approach for the problem is the recent framelet method in [4]. There the low resolution images are assumed to be small perturbation of a reference image perturbed in different directions. Video clips are made of many still frames, usually about 30 frames per second....

We analyzed the community structure of a network of news clips where relationships were established by the coreference of entities in pairs of clips. Community detection was applied to a unidimensional version of the news clips network, as well as to a multidimensional version where dimensions were defined based on three different classes of entities: places, people, and dates. The goal was to ...

Emotion recognition is an open problem in Affective Computing the field. Music emotion recognition (MER) has challenges including variability of musical content across genres, the cultural background of listeners, reliability of ground truth data, and the modeling human hearing in computational domains. In this study, we focus on experimental music emotion recognition. First, we present a music...
