Human action recognition has become one of the most active research topics in human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence, and has attracted much attention. Here, we employ a low-cost optical sensor Kinect ...
We explore characteristics of the UK labour market with special emphasis on explanation of the existing wage inequalities, determinants of participation, and variation in the magnitude of hours of labour supplied am...
The rat posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) is responsive to the orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and is a putative candidate to participate in neural circuits that modulate feeding behavior. Here, we studied the effe...
In this paper we derive analytically the optimal set of relays for the maximal destination signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in a two-hop amplify-and-forward cooperative network with frequency-selective fading channels. Sim...
From the perspective of migrants 'self-selection and skill transferability theories, this paper compares human capital return rates of different migrant groups in urban China and discuss the possibility of economic s...
The aim of this study was to assess the ability of Nile tilapia to balance its own diet, when two ingredient mixes were offered, using carbon stable isotopes. In order to accomplish that, 225 Nile tilapia juveniles (...
