This paper presents a new application that improves communication between digital media and customers at a point of sale. The system uses several methods from various areas of computer vision such as motion detection, object tracking, behavior analysis and recognition, semantic description of behavior, and scenario recognition. Specifically, the system is divided in three parts: low-level, mid-...

For a process normally distributed and a target located at the mid-point of a twosided tolerance interval, Vännman suggests a family of indices depending on two parameters. In order to choose the parameters which allow to obtain an index that is sensitive to departures of the mean from the target, we need to take the properties of its estimator into account. For a target not located at the mid-...

Methods of numerical integration of ordinary differential equations exploiting the Cayley transform arise in a variety of contexts, ranging from the classical mid-point rule to symplectic and (almost) Poisson integrators, to numerical methods on Lie Groups. In earlier work, the first author investigated the interplay between the Cayley transform and the Jacobi identity in establishing certain e...

This work reports the voltammetric behaviour of decamethylcobaltocenium, DmCc(+), in different ionic liquids for the first time. Its redox potential was studied relative to that of decamethylferrocene, DmFc, and it is shown that the difference in the mid-point potential between these two permethylated transition-metal sandwich complexes is independent of the ionic liquid composition. A variable...

Objectives Use of a reliable method to determine the degree of skeletal development of the mid-palatal suture is important in the choice of treatment between orthopedic maxillary expansion and surgical expansion in adolescents and young adults. The aim of this study was to review the new methods for evaluation of mid-palatal suture maturation. Methods Electronic search was conducted in PubMed ...

In the vicinity of the quark-hadron critical point, in the phase diagram of QCD, simple power-law relations constrain the mid-rapidity net-baryon density profile, for different heavy-ion processes, in a unifying scheme. The corresponding scaling variable specifies the proximity of a given experiment to the critical point. An important phenomenological aspect of the critical properties in the ba...

properly defines a special polygon. We are interested in a part of such a sequence. It is shown that if the first point and the last point of the subsequence are different, it becomes a special polygonal sequence. The concept of „a part of” is introduced, and the subsequence having this property can be characterized by using „mid” function. For such subsequences, the concepts of „Upper” and „Lo...
