Circadian rhythms have evolved in a wide variety of organisms, allowing them to anticipate the 24-h diurnal cycle of daylight and darkness and adjust endogenous biological processes to this predictable cycle. This rhythm, which is regularly entrained by the actual onset of daylight, involves a set of circadian clock–regulated genes that operate in a feedback-controlled loop to ensure proper exp...

Recognizing human actions play an important role in applications like video surveillance. The recent past has witnessed an increasing research on view-invariant action recognition. Huang et al. proposed a framework based on discriminative model for human action recognition. This model uses STIP (Space – Time Interest Point) to extract motion features and view invariants. Then a discriminative m...

We offer a reflection on our own praxis as designers and developers of a learning system for mature-age students through the Open University (OU) UK’s internationally recognised supported-open learning approach. The learning system (or course or module), which required an investment in the range of £0.25–0.5 million to develop, thus reflects our own history (traditions of understanding), the hi...

Object Movement Identification from videos is very challenging, and has got numerous applications in sports evaluation, video surveillance, elder/child care, etc. In thisresearch, a model using sparse representation is presented for the human activity detection from the video data. This is done using a linear combination of atoms from a dictionary and a sparse coefficient matrix. The dictionary...
