Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...

A novel neural-based solution to the problem of dynamic load balancing in homogeneous distributed systems is proposed. The winner-Take-All (WTA) neural network model is used for implementing the selection and location policies of a typical dynamic load balancing algorithm. Unlike most of the previous literature that assumed independent tasks, which is not always true, tasks with interprocess co...

Fatigue strength of cross-shaped specimens of SPR joints made of SPCC was evaluated at load angles of 0°, 45°, and 90°. For the static strength at load angles of 0°, 45°, and 90°, the maximum loads were determined to be 4890N, 1969N, and 1611N, respectively. Regarding for the relationship between the load amplitude and the number of cycles (Nf), the results were 014 . 0 3 . 2209 − = f amp N P ,...

Lianas can create dense foliage that reduces the light available for host trees on which they grow and directly damage during their development. A better estimation of liana load understanding determinants impacts in tropical forests are both important community ecology ecosystem science. This has, however, never been studied to date central Africa. Here, we evaluated intensity, determinants, t...
