Human action recognition has gathered significant attention in recent years due to its high demand in various application domains.In this work, we propose a novel codebook generation and hybrid encoding scheme for classification of action videos.The proposed scheme develops a discriminative codebook and a hybrid feature vector by encoding the featu
Abstract Background The non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation is potentially advantageous in asthma management.Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) measurement is cheap and has been proposed to reflect airway inflammation and oxidative stress but current data are conflicting.The purpose of this meta-analysis is to determine whether eCO is elevate
Topography is a critical element in the hydrological response of a drainage basin and its availability in the form of digital elevation models (DEMs) has advanced the modeling of hydrological and hydraulic processes.However, progress experienced in these fields may stall, as intrinsic characteristics of free DEMs may limit new sword stand findings,
Background: Alveolar bone defects in children still have a high incidence.Conventional bone Rotary Cutters graft technique that has been used as a defect therapy is still not effective, so new techniques with tissue engineering approach are needed.Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) as one of the indicators of osteogenic differentiation has not bee
