In this paper, we have designed a machine visionbased method to identify the defected or missed or grounded rail anchors/fasteners that attach each line with the sleepers. Rail line inspection system is executed manually, especially in third world countries, like Bangladesh. This manual inspection is lengthy, laborious and subjective. To detect and classify the damaged or missed or grounded rai...

In this paper, we propose spatio-temporal silhouette representations, called silhouette energy image (SEI) and silhouette history image (SHI) to characterize motion and shape properties for recognition of human movements such as human actions, activities in daily life. The SEI and SHI are constructed by using the silhouette image sequence of an action. The span or difference of the end time and...

BACKGROUND Knowledge and understanding of what health insurance covers is an important public health issue. In Israel, whereas national health insurance covers all residents, optional supplemental health insurance (SHI) can be purchased from the healthcare providers, for additional, special services. The purpose of this study was to identify disparities between Jews and Arabs in their knowledge...

Abstract For a balanced sutured manifold $(M,\gamma )$, we construct decomposition of $SHI(M,\gamma )$ with respect to torsions in $H=H_{1}(M;\mathbb {Z})$, which generalizes the $I^{\sharp }(Y)$ previous work authors. This can be regarded as candidate for counterpart torsion spin$^{c}$ decompositions $SFH(M,\gamma )$. Based on this decomposition, define an enhanced Euler characteristic $\chi _...

The article reported three new species of the genus Xiphidiopsis Redtenbacher, 1891 in China: Xiphidiopsis (Xiphidiopsis) minorincisus Han, Chang & Shi sp. nov., Xiphidiopsis (Xiphidiopsis) protensus Han, Chang & Shi sp. nov. and Xiphidiopsis (Xiphidiopsis) anisolobulus Han, Di & Shi sp. nov.
