In this paper, we develop a method for tracking markless human pose in monocular video human motion. The number of required particles will grow exponentially when particle filter is applied to high dimensional tracking problems such as tracking human body poses, and particle filter with partitioned sampling is adopted to deal with this problem. We design a 2D human body model with constraints, ...

We introduce an interacting particle system to model the emergence of drug resistant diseases, one of the most serious health problems in modern society. We are interested in diseases for which a natural strain may mutate into a drug resistant strain. This happens, for instance, when antibiotics are misused. The main result of our analysis is that with an efficient drug against the natural stra...

In pulping and papermaking, dirt particles significantly affect the quality of paper. Knowledge of the dirt type helps to track the sources of the impurities which would considerably improve the paper making process. Dirt particle classification designed for this purpose should be adaptable because the dirt types are specific to the different processes of paper mills. This paper introduces a ge...

Consider the system of particles on Z a where particles are of two types A and B--and execute simple random walks in continuous time. Particles do not interact with their own type, but when an A-particle meets a B-particle, both disappear, i.e., are annihilated. This system serves as a model for the chemical reaction A + B ~ inert. We analyze the limiting behavior of the densities pA(t) and pB(...

We obtain the hydrodynamic limit of one-dimensional interacting particle systems describing the macroscopic evolution of the density of mass in infinite volume from the microscopic dynamics. The processes are weak pertubations of the symmetric exclusion process by shift operators describing the spread of particles around positions where new sites are created.

Abstract. We deduce the kinetic equations describing the low density (and the large number of particles) limit of interacting particle systems with k-nary interaction of pure jump type supplemented by an underlying ”free motion” being an arbitrary Feller process. The well posedness of the Cauchy problem together with the propagation of chaos property are proved for these kinetic equations under...

objective: soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure. so, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. methods: this...

due to the positive effects of fiber on human health, production and distribution of high fiber containing foods is on the increase. amongst different foods, bread is a suitable option to convey fiber in human diets. flat breads which are very common in asian countries, are mainly produced from white flour and hence are low in fiber. the main objectives followed in this study were to produce hi...
