Time stamp superimposed on the video frames can be used as indices for video indexing and retrieval systems. Some applications use it for speed detection of objects. In this paper, we propose a time stamp detection approach based on edge detection method. Furthermore, we apply temporal properties of video frames so that time stamp can be located quickly. We also propose our digit recognition mo...

This paper presents a quantitative analytical method for measuring functional fit between a specific ecosystem and a defined set of institutions. Functional misfits, the focus of this paper, can arise as a result of gaps in governance—a lack of institutional provision for a socioecological system component or link. The method measures such misfit using a similarity metric (simple matching). Thi...

New algorithms, based on a very efficient method to compute the A-range, have been used to extend known tables of the extremal /¡-range, to complete the solution in the case k = 3, and to find a lower bound for the extremal 2-range.

CERTAIN BASIC COST FACTORS must be continuously recognized in analysis of the costs of the old-age and survivors insurance program. These factors include: (a) population; (b) mortality; (c) family composition; (d) number of years of credited employment prior to qualification for benefits; (e) remarriage of widowed beneficiaries; (f) employment of widowed beneficiaries, older children, and aged;...

We investigate the effect of food stamp cashout on undernutrition using household data from cashout experiments in Alabama and San Diego, California. We apply dominance methods to test for differences in nutrient distributions at or below the recommended dietary allowances.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
