Kurzfassung. Taking an inspiration from psychological studies of visual attention, the contribution of this paper lies in prediction of the critical points of the trajectory using the structure of a scene and physical motion model. On one side, we present our approach for video analysis that differs from traditional tracking techniques by predicting future states of the moving object rather tha...

Knowledge-based systems are widely used in health care and more recently in rehabilitation. The most complex and demanding task performed by physical therapists is the rehabilitation of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke patients. The repercussions of stroke are very subjective, and it can be very complex and demanding to assess and treat post-stroke patients. This research developed a pr...

This updated and revised paper gives an overview of my PhD research. It focuses on two newly developed approaches. Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) allows the identification of related work by analyzing the co-occurrence of citations within documents. In contrast to co-citation analysis various factors, such as the proximity of citations to each other, are taken into account. The second approa...

the behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. the farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from birjand and 41 km away from qaen on the farrokhi river. there are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...

previous research has identified the nominal group as the most distinctive feature of the research article title. in contrast, the findings reported in this paper suggest theme/rheme is the dominant structure in title text. theme/rheme structures order and tie nominal groups in titles. when a title starts with a methodological term the first position nominal group acts as a theme marker. thus, ...

in this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). the solution of the problem includes two main parts. in the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. in the second part, ada...

the stability analysis of islanded inverter-based microgrids (ibmgs) is increasingly an important and challenging topic due to the nonlinearity of ibmgs. in this paper, a new linear model for such microgrids as well as an iterative method to correct the linear model is proposed. using the linear model makes it easy to analyze the eigenvalues and stability of ibmgs due to the fact that it derive...

We envisage retrieval in textual case-based reasoning (TCBR) as an instance of abductive reasoning. The two main subtasks underlying abductive reasoning are ‘hypotheses generation’ where plausible case hypotheses are generated, and ‘hypothesis testing’ where the best hypothesis is selected among these in sequel. The central idea behind the presented two-stage retrieval model for TCBR is that re...
