In this paper a new body motion-based Human Behaviour Analysing (HBA) approach is proposed for the sake of events classification. Here, the inetersting events are as normal and abnormal behaviours in a ATM scenario. The concept of Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), which is a known human movement analysing system, is used in order to define and extract sufficient features. A two-phase probabilistic...

The topical stance detection problem addresses detecting the stance of the text content with respect to a given topic: whether the sentiment of the given text content is in FAVOR of (positive), is AGAINST (negative), or is NONE (neutral) towards the given topic. Using the concept of attention, we develop a two-phase solution. In the first phase, we classify subjectivity whether a given tweet is...

While steady-state solutions of backlog and delay have been derived for essential wireless systems, the analysis of transient phases still poses significant challenges. Considering the majority of short-lived and interactive flows, transient startup effects, as caused by sleep scheduling in cellular networks, have, however, a substantial impact on the performance. To facilitate reasoning about ...

The objective of the original ‘adaptive participant’s presumption protocol’ (AP) was to achieve the performance advantages of one-phase commit protocols, whenever possible, and, at the same time, the wide applicability of two-phase commit protocols. Specifically, AP operates as a one-phase commit protocol for the commit processing of a transaction so long as the transaction is not associated wi...

Two intelligent abilities and three inverse problems are reelaborated from a probability theory based two pathway perspective, with challenges of statistical learning and efforts towards the challenges overviewed. Then, a detailed introduction is provided on the Bayesian Ying-Yang (BYY) harmony learning. Proposed firstly in (Xu,1995) and systematically developed in the past decade, this approac...

This article is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of the electromagnetic fields scattered by a perfectly conducting plane containing two sub-wavelength rectangular cavities. The problem is formulated through an integral equation, and a spectral analysis of the integral operator is performed. Using the generalized Rouché theorem on operator valued functions, it is possible to localize two types...

[1] Several models for two-phase flow in porous media identify trapping and connectivity of fluids as an important contribution to macroscale hysteresis. This is especially true for hysteresis in relative permeabilities. The trapping models propose trajectories from the initial saturation to the end saturation in various ways and are often based on experiments or pore-network model results for ...

Word-of-mouth (WOM) is recognized as an effective communication channel among consumers. The Internet provides consumers with richer sales information and more online associates than do brick-and-mortar stores but makes complex the assessment of the shaping of electronic WOM (eWOM) intention and return on eWOM. Thus, we will conduct two experiments to examine the shaping of eWOM intention and r...

In this paper we consider a two-phase flow problem in porous media and study its singular limit as the viscosity of the air tends to zero; more precisely, we prove the convergence of subsequences to solutions of a generalized Richards model.

Delivery companies are offering an increasing number of time-definite services. Yet, little research has been done that explores the design of delivery networks and accounts for these time-definite services. In this paper, we explore such design problems for networks with a specified number of edges B > n − 1. We present a two-phase heuristic solution approach that first constructs a network an...
