In this paper, a new approach for segmentation of sartorius muscle (M. sar.) with the tendon attachment sites (TAS) from 3D Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images is presented. The segmented muscle is used in a human gait modeling software. By means of the modeling, the cause of gait pathologies could be diagnosed. In this approach, three Active Shape Models (ASM) are employed. Two of them are 2D model...

In this paper, we proposed a new approach based on dominant set [1] for tone error detection in strong accented Mandarin. First, the final boundary generated from forced alignment is regulated by the F0 contour in order to locate the final domain more accurately. After that, proper normalization techniques are explored for the tone features. Finally, clustering and classification methods based ...

in order to investigate the growth curve of broiler chickens at line level, respectively 154 and 144 birds from two paternal lines a and b of a commercial broiler line were used. line a were selected several generations for low feed conversion rate and line b were selected several generation for high body weight. body weight was measured at 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 54 days of...
