GÁL Z. Future Bangalores? The increasing role of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in offshoring services, Regional Studies. The paper gives an overview of offshoring services into Central and Eastern Europe. Many Eastern European countries invigorated by EU enlargement became important locations for offshore service centres. Building on the region‘s nearshoring advantages such as geographical-c...

Content analysis of video and still images is attractive for multiple reasons, such as enabling content-based actions and image manipulation. This paper presents a new algorithm and feature model for blue-sky detection. The algorithm classifies the sky areas by computing a pixel-accurate sky probability. Such a probabilistic measure matches well with the requirements of typical video enhancemen...

The stability of radiance measurements taken by the Sky Quality Meter (SQM)was tested under rapidly changing temperature conditions during exposure to a stable light field in the laboratory. The reported radiance was found to be negatively correlated with temperature, but remained within 7% of the initial reported radiance over a temperature range of -15 °C to 35 °C, and during temperature chan...

We present a novel algorithm for detection of sky areas in outdoor color images. In contrast to sky detectors in literature that detect only blue, cloudless sky we intend to detect all sorts of sky, i.e. blue, clouded and partially clouded sky. Our approach is based on the analysis of color, position, and shape properties of color homogeneous spatially connected regions detected by the CSC. An ...

Sky is among the subject matters frequently seen in photographs and useful for image understanding, processing, and retrieval. We propose a novel approach to sky detection based on color classification, region extraction, and physicsmotivated sky signature validation. First, the color classification is performed to generate a belief map of sky colored pixels. Next, connected components are extr...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Improving quality of life (QOL) of healthy people living with HIV (PLHIV) is critical needing home-based, long-term strategy. Sudarshan Kriya yoga (SKY) intervention is acknowledged for its positive impact on health. It is hypothesised that SKY would improve PLHIV's QOL, justifying an evaluation. METHODS In this open label randomized controlled pilot trial, 61 adult PL...

In this research, we propose an architectural solution to implement the voice over IP (VoIP) service in campus environment network. Voice over IP (VoIP) technology has become a discussion issue for this time being. Today, the deployment of this technology on an organization truly can give a great financial benefit over traditional telephony. Therefore, this study is to analyze the VoIP Codec se...

in a profoundly impressive verse in shahnameh, sky is likened to red ruby. the present paper is attempted to probe into the background of the conventional belief regarding the relationship between sky and stone, for the semantic structure of the verse is composed in such a way that it is not possible to consider this relationship as being a conceptualistic viewpoint so that one may establish so...
