A modified mean shift algorithm for visual object tracking

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The CamShift is an adaptive version of Mean Shift algorithm. It has received wide attention as an efficient and robust method for object tracking. However, it is often distracted or interfered by the other larger objects with similar colors. This paper presents a novel tracking algorithm based on the mean shift framework. Unlike the CamShift, which uses the probability density image determined by the color feature, the proposed algorithm employs the probability density image derived from both color and shape features. Experimental results indicate the proposed algorithm improves robustness without sacrificing computational cost, as compared to the conventional CamShift algorithm.

Model Construction and Research HypothesesModel Construction.According to the summary of literatures, this paper puts forward and constructs the model of the influence of the IWOM on the purchase intention of the consumers from the aspects of the quality of IWOM information, the quantity of IWOM, the professionalism of IWOM and the timeliness of IWOM.
The Impact of Social Media on Taobao’s Marketing Strategy

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

With the rapid development of Internet technology, social media has become an indispensable and important means in enterprise marketing. This study focuses on the impact of social media marketing on Taobao’s strategic marketing. Through the analysis of the marketing practices of many merchants on the Taobao platform and combined with consumer behavior data, it is found that social media marketing has a profound impact on Taobao’s marketing strategy in many aspects. In terms of brand promotion, social media marketing can help Taobao merchants quickly increase brand awareness. Merchants release product information and promotional activities through social media platforms such as Weibo and WeChat, attract the attention of potential consumers, form a ripple effect of brand communication, and effectively expand the brand radiation range of Taobao stores. At the same time, user-generated content (UGC) on social media, such as consumers’ positive reviews and sharing of orders, is an important word-of-mouth asset for Taobao stores and has a positive impact on the long-term marketing strategy of Taobao stores. However, social media marketing also brings certain challenges to Taobao, such as the spread of false information and intensified competition. Taobao needs to constantly adjust and optimize its own marketing strategy to fully utilize the opportunities brought by social media marketing and effectively respond to related challenges. This study aims to provide valuable references for Taobao merchants and platform operators when formulating and adjusting marketing strategies.
Field Evaluation of IPM Tools Against Brinjal Shoot and Fruit Borer, Leucinodes orbonalis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Investigations were carried out to assess the field efficacy, economic viability and reasons for non adoption of alternative IPM tools vis a vis pesticides against brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guen.) in Orissa, India. Egg parasite, Trichogramma chilonis alone or in combination with Bracon hebetor did not have much impact on brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB). Neem (Azadirachtin) based products such as Multineem, neem seed kernel extract (NSKE), neem oil and neem cake were found ineffective against BSFB. Mass trapping alone or in conjunction with neem oil, neem cake, and neem oil soaked gunny cloths resulted in poor improvement over untreated plots. Mass trapping + neem oil spray + shoot clipping gave significantly higher protection resulting in 38.0 per cent improvement over untreated plots, but damage was still high as against pesticide treated plots. The most effective treatment was cypermethrin @30 g a.i./ha against the pest, which was superior to any of the IPM tools or their combinations tested in present experiments. Chemical control recorded highest protected yield (132.5 q/ha), additional income (Rs.53760/ha) and cost benefit ratio (1:5.3). Mass trapping supplemented with neem spray and clipping was second in order to fetch higher protected yield (55.2q/ha), additional income (Rs.8090/ha), the cost: benefit ratio was lower (1:1.4) than other less effective treatments. Nylon net barrier+ clipping recorded less improvement in pest damage over control but yielded highest pesticide free marketable yield.

Evaluation of the Impact of SAMG on the Level-2 PSA Results of a Pressurized Water Reactor

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) uses a systematic approach to estimate the reliability and risk of a nuclear power plant (NPP). Over the past few years, severe accident management guidance (SAMG), which delineates the mitigation actions of core melt accidents of an NPP, has been developed to support operators and staff in the technical support center in dealing with those misfortunes. It can be expected that the implementation of SAMG will lower the containment failure frequency and reduce the amount of radionuclides released to the environment during the accident. The plant studied is the Maanshan NPP of Taiwan Power Company, which employs a Westinghouse-designed three-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR) with large dry containment.The containment system event trees and containment phenomenological event trees of the Level-2 PSA model are modified to incorporate the new mitigation actions specified in SAMG. The HCR (Human Cognitive Reliability) and THERP (Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction) models are used to quantify the human error probability (HEP) of all the actions in the Level-2 PSA model. The MAAP4 (Module Accident Analysis Program version 4) code is used to perform thermohydraulic calculations to determine the demand time required in the HEP analysis.The results show that the frequency of most of the source term categories is reduced except the one in which both the reactor pressure vessel and containment are intact. The containment failure frequency is reduced by 14.8% after the implementation of SAMG. The frequency of containment early failure is reduced by 16.2%. Most of the reduction in the containment early failure frequency comes from the reduction in the induced steam generator tube rupture (STGR). The frequency of induced SGTR was reduced from 2.3 × 10–7/reactor·yr to 1.0 × 10–8/reactor·yr.

Microfluidic Sensor for Dielectric Spectroscopy Measurement of Microliter Biological Fluids over 1-60 GHz

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A wideband microfluidic sensor based on a microfluidic channel and a millimeter wave coplanar waveguide sensor is proposed. The sensor operates in a frequency band ranging from 1GHz to 60GHz and is used to measure the dielectric spectrum of microliter volume liquids. When the microwave signal incident on the interface of the liquid sample, transmission and reflection will occur, and the transmission and reflection coefficients are related to the dielectric constant of the liquid sample, and the dielectric constant of the sample to be measured can be deduced from the measured scattering parameters. The dielectric spectrum results measured at 150mmol/L NaCl were compared with the commercial Keysight results to verify the accuracy of the sensor. Finally, complex biological liquid samples tumor cell suspension MCF-7 and WBC were measured. The difference between NaCl solution and the working frequency band reflected the difference between different cell suspensions. The error range of the five consecutive measurements was much smaller than the difference between tumor cells. These results provide support for distinguishing different tumor cell suspensions.
The long-range contribution to quasi-elastic collisions of atoms

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A theoretical investigation of quasi-elastic atom-scattering is presented. The transition potential for the system, which consists of an excited atom in a neutral atom in the ground state, is derived and split into short- and long-range parts. A general expression for the leading long-range (two-photon exchange) part of the inelastic potential is obtained and the correct threshold behaviour of the partial-wave amplitude is discussed. The cross sections sigma short(nl to nl') and sigma long(nl to nl') of l-changing collisions of the Rydberg atoms are estimated for large values of n, and small as well as large angular momentum transitions. It is found that sigma short>> sigma long if n2qmin<<1 r n>>l,l' when n to infinity .
Double Fronting in Bavarian Left Periphery

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This paper deals with specific properties of the left periphery in Bavarian, a Southern dialect of German that allows doubly filled COMP in embedded clauses. It investigates the phenomenon of double fronting, which represents a specific kind of extraction from an embedded clause (“Bavarian extraction” [BE]) that is only licensed if the clause has undergone fronting to the left periphery. In addition to the gap in the fronted embedded clause, a further gap may be licensed in this construction that represents a position in the matrix clause. The paper provides answers to the following questions: (1) Is the target position of BE in the embedded or in the matrix clause? (2) What motivates BE and why is clausal fronting required? (3) What are the properties of the gap in the matrix clause and how is this gap licensed? (4) Why is BE from wh-clauses with complex wh-elements disallowed?

Comparative analysis between plate and cannulated screw in fracture of the posterior malleolus: a retrospective observational cross-sectional study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Ankle fractures account for approximately 4% of all fractures, with an annual incidence of 124 in 100,000 people in the United Kingdom. More than a third of these contain involvement of the posterior malleolus. Objective: It was to analyze and compare the anteroposterior screw (PAS) and posterior support plate (PSP) techniques in postoperative results and percentage of complications, comparing radiographic and functional results in the surgical treatment of the posterior malleolus. Methods: The present study followed a retrospective observational and cross-sectional model (STROBE). The Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Student-t test, Wilcoxon Rank test, Mann-Whitney test, Pearson Chi-Square test, and binary and predictive logistic regression analysis were used, adopting a confidence risk of 0.05. Results and Conclusion: A total of 18 patients were included (12 PAS and 6 PSP). For the PAS group, the mean time to fracture healing on radiography was 9.92 weeks, and for the PSP group, it was 11.83 weeks. Using predictive logistic regression analysis, PAS and PSP consolidation times showed a statistically significant difference in data distribution (with p=0.888>0.05), and Haraguchi's classifications for PAS and PSP did not show a statistically significant association, with p>0.05. The two techniques, anteroposterior screw fixation posterior support plate, have advantages and disadvantages inherent to the procedure, as well as the surgeon's aptitude for each technique can be a confusing factor for the study. Little discrepancy was observed in the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the patients analyzed.

The\nInfluence of Intrinsic Framework Flexibility on\nAdsorption in Nanoporous Materials

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

For applications of metal–organic\nframeworks (MOFs) such\nas gas storage and separation, flexibility is often seen as a parameter\nthat can tune material performance. In this work we aim to determine\nthe optimal flexibility for the shape selective separation of similarly\nsized molecules (e.g., Xe/Kr mixtures). To obtain systematic insight\ninto how the flexibility impacts this type of separation, we develop\na simple analytical model that predicts a material’s Henry\nregime adsorption and selectivity as a function of flexibility. We\nelucidate the complex dependence of selectivity on a framework’s\nintrinsic flexibility whereby performance is either improved or reduced\nwith increasing flexibility, depending on the material’s pore\nsize characteristics. However, the selectivity of a material with\nthe pore size and chemistry that already maximizes selectivity in\nthe rigid approximation is continuously diminished with increasing\nflexibility, demonstrating that the globally optimal separation exists\nwithin an entirely rigid pore. Molecular simulations show that our\nsimple model predicts performance trends that are observed when screening\nthe adsorption behavior of flexible MOFs. These flexible simulations\nprovide better agreement with experimental adsorption data in a high-performance\nmaterial that is not captured when modeling this framework as rigid,\nan approximation typically made in high-throughput screening studies.\nWe conclude that, for shape selective adsorption applications, the <i>globally</i> optimal material will have the optimal pore size/chemistry <i>and</i> minimal intrinsic flexibility even though other nonoptimal\nmaterials’ selectivity can actually be improved by flexibility.\nEqually important, we find that flexible simulations can be critical\nfor correctly modeling adsorption in these types of systems.
The economic design of bulk cargo carriers

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

During the past few years the computer has gradually been accepted as an essential tool for the naval architect. A large number of programs have been developed to perform every task in the design office. The naval architect is now able to embark upon investigations which previously required a prohibitive amount of computation. Such an investigation is one in which the computer is used to derive the most favourable combination of length, beam and draft for any design based on the owner's basic requirements of deadweight speed and range of operation. The aim of this thesis and it's associated computer programs is to assist the naval architect to produce a more profitable design, for a bulk cargo carrier, A whole series of suitable designs is synthesised by the computer and the economic performance of each is deduced and assessed by comparison with others. The criterion for comparing the series of designs is obtained by assessing the minimum cost per ton of cargo deadweight. Requirements other than the minimum cost affect the choice of design. Account must be taken of the operational performance in cargo handling, the loss of speed etc. Unfortunately, no easy relationships have been derived to take these factors into account, and the program system must content itself with producing a large number of designs which are technically acceptable. In order to obtain the large number of acceptable designs, the program derives a series of designs by methodically varying the three parameters, Length/ Beam and Beam/Draft Ratio and the Block Coefficient. The features of each design are derived using well known relationships supplemented by formulae based on detailed analysis of existing bulk carrier designs. The capital cost of each design is estimated using the "Motor Ship Magazine" Bulk Carrier as a basis. The fixed cost items such as crew and insurance are obtained and expressed as a cost per day. A typical route on which the design is expected to operate is simulated as a series of activities and the performance of each design on the route is assessed. The program has been run to carry out a detailed design study for a typical bulk/ bulk carrier route. The route chosen was: East Coast U.S.A. to Japan with coal. Japan to Chile under ballast. Chile to East Coast U.S.A. with iron ore. Four series were produced to investigate the effect of changes in deadweight, speed, block coefficient and length. Graphs showing the results of these variations are given. The background to the bulk cargo trade is described as are the principal features of bulk carrier design. The uses and possible extensions to the program system are discussed.
Ab initioStudy on Mechanism of Forming a Silicic Bis-Heterocyclic Compound Between Dimethylmethylenesilylene and Ethene

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction of forming a silicic bis-heterocyclic compound between singlet dimethylmethylenesilylene (Me2C=Si:) and ethene has been investigated with the CCSD(T)//MP2/6-31G* method. From the potential energy profile, it can be predicted that, this reaction has one dominant channel. The presented rule of this dominant channel: the 3p unoccupied orbital of Si in dimethylmethylenesilylene and the π orbital of ethene forming the π→p donor-acceptor bond, resulting in the formation of three-membered ring intermediate (INT1); INT1 then isomerizes to a four-membered ring silylene (P2), which is driven by ring-enlargement effect; due to sp3 hybridization of Si atom in P2, P2 further combines with ethene to form a silicic bis-heterocyclic compound.
