We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of bilinear operators made of physical quark fields for domain-wall QCD. We find that finite parts of such renormalization factors have reasonable values at 1-loop except an overlap factor between the physical quark field and the zero mode in the theory. We point out that the 1-loop estimate of overall renormalization factors becomes unreliable at t...

PURPOSE The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is experiencing a dramatic increase in physical inactivity, with women having higher levels of inactivity than men among all age groups. It is assumed that factors such as dress codes, restrictions on going outdoors, and conservative norms are the main reasons for women's low physical activity. Our aim was to explore the different parameters related to physic...

Tracking multiple objects in surveillance scenarios involves considerable difficulty because of occlusions. We report a composite tracker based on feature tracking and colour based tracking that demonstrates superior performance under high degrees of occlusion. Disjoint foreground blobs are extracted by using change masks obtained by combining an online-updated background model and flow informa...

In this paper, we present an improved mean shift for robust object tracking in complex environment. Traditional RGB color model used in mean shift tracker is sensitive to interference from similar background. In order to solve this problem, a new saliency-color target model is proposed through using the state-of-the-art target representation and updated background-weighed method. In addition, t...

This series documents the scientific basis for stock assessments and fisheries management advice in New Zealand. It addresses the issues of the day in the current legislative context and in the time frames required. The documents it contains are not intended as definitive statements on the subjects addressed but rather as progress reports on ongoing investigations.

The mean shift algorithm is a well-known statistical method for finding local maxima in probability distributions. Besides filtering and segmentation it is applied in the field of object tracking. There are several approaches that use the mean shift method for locating target objects in video sequences. This paper compares three similar approaches and investigates their performance on different...

An automatic object tracking and video summarization method for multicamera systems with a large number of non-overlapping field-of-view cameras is explained. In this system, video sequences are stored for each object as opposed to storing a sequence for each camera. Objectbased representation enables annotation of video segments, and extraction of content semantics for further analysis and sum...

background: regular physical activity has a positive effect on physical, mental, and social aspects of individual and community health. regarding prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as primary hypertension, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases that sedentary is responsible for them, health policy makers plan to encourage people to do more physical activity. growth of beneficial he...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Epstein-Barr virus-related (EBV-related) lymphoid hyperplasia of the tonsils and adenoids is a precursor to post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). The incidence of post-transplantation adenotonsillar hypertrophy, a potential early sign of PTLD or EBV-related lymphoid hyperplasia, is not known. We sought to identify potential risk factors for adenotonsill...

Two experiments on the internal representation of auditory stimuli compared the pairwise and grouping methodologies as means of deriving similarity judgements. A total of 45 undergraduate students participated in each experiment, judging the similarity of short auditory stimuli, using one of the methodologies. The experiments support and extend Bonebright's (1996) findings, using a further 60 s...
