Video moment retrieval targets at retrieving a golden in video for given natural language query. The main challenges of this task include 1) the requirement accurately localizing (i.e., start time and end of) relevant an untrimmed stream, 2) bridging semantic gap between textual query contents. To tackle those problems, early approaches adopt sliding window or uniform sampling to collect clips ...

One of the methods for retrofitting reinforced concrete moment frames is the use of steel braces. In this research, the seismic performance of a double-skinned concrete framing system reinforced with two concentric (CBF) and eccentric (EBF) steel bracing, was investigated under seven near-fault earthquake records of varying intensity. For this purpose, two ten-story concrete frames with five sp...

A probabilistic frame is a Borel probability measure with finite second moment whose support spans R. A Parseval probabilistic frame is one for which the associated matrix of second moment is the identity matrix in R. Each probabilistic frame is canonically associated to a Parseval probabilistic frame. In this paper, we show that this canonical Parseval probabilistic frame is the closest Parsev...

BACKGROUND changes in lower-limb joint moments are important outcome measures for treatment and prevention of knee osteoarthritis. However, it is known that both the magnitude and amplitude of joint moments are affected by the choice of anatomical reference frame. The purpose of this study was to identify features of joint moment waveforms that, regardless of the choice of reference frame, are ...

This article introduces three simple ideas that lead to the efficient design of regular moment frames. The finite module concept assumes that the moment frame may be construed as being composed of predesigned, imaginary rectangular modules that fit into the bays of the structure. Plastic design analysis aims at minimizing the demand-capacity ratios of elements of ductile moment frames by induci...

The most commonly used analysis method in performance-based design (PBD) is nonlinear static (NSA). In unsymmetrical 2D frames, unlike for the symmetrical state, NSA should be performed two lateral loading directions. This complicates process of achieving a feasible optimal addition to increasing volume calculations. this study, overcoming issue, two-step approach proposed PBD steel moment-resi...

An electrically neutral current-loop, with magnetic dipole m0, that is at rest in a static, uniform electric field E0 experiences no force or torque. However, if that system is observed in the lab frame where the loop has velocity v parallel to E0, and v c, where c is the speed of light, then there appears to be an electric dipole moment, p = v/c×m0 associated with the loop (in Gaussian units)....
