In this paper, we propose a novel approach for dominant color region detection using dominant sets clustering and apply it to soccer video shot classification. Compared with the widely used histogram based dominant color extraction methods which require appropriate thresholds and sufficient training samples, the proposed method can automatically extract dominant color region without any thresho...

Much of our focus of attention has been on sub-clinical or subtle joint pain experienced by healthy soccer players. The present study aimed to determine at which joint such subclinical pains are the most prominent, and to examine the pain-relieving effect of a chicken comb extract (CCE)-containing supplement product (test product) on these athletes. A total of 46 collegiate soccer players, cons...

3D Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as a new platform to meet the performance requirements and scaling challenges of System on Chip. More investigations require addressing challenges in multiport topologies, minimizing foot printing of nodes and interconnections of wires. This paper discusses multi-port NoC topologies and routing in 2D hexagonal and 3D mesh NoC. Deadlock free routing for 2D he...

This paper proposes a novel automatic dominant color region detection algorithm that is robust to temporal variations in the dominant color due to field, weather and lighting conditions throughout a sports video. The proposed algorithm uses two color spaces, a control space and a primary space. The robustness of the algorithm results from adaptation of the statistics of the dominant color in th...

most of the materials used in the industry of aero-engine components generally consist of titaniumalloys. advanced materials, because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, lightweight and general corrosion resistance. in fact, chemical wear resistance of aero-engine alloyprovides a serious challenge for cutting tool material during the machining process. the reductionin cutt...

Mechanical resonators are widely used as inertial balances to detect small quantities of adsorbed mass through shifts in oscillation frequency. Advances in lithography and materials synthesis have enabled the fabrication of nanoscale mechanical resonators, which have been operated as precision force, position and mass sensors. Here we demonstrate a room-temperature, carbon-nanotube-based nanome...

Materials such as waste tire chips were widely used to improve the strength of soil. The objective of this study is to discuss the residual strength or steady-state behavior of sand-waste tire chip mixtures. A series of undrained monotonic triaxial compression tests were conducted on reconstituted saturated specimens of sand and sand-tire chip mixtures with variation in the tire-chip contents f...
