The first step in generic video processing is temporal segmentation, i.e.shot boundary detection.Camera shot transitions can be either abrupt (e.g.cuts) or gradual (e.g.fades, dissolves, wipes).Sports video is one of the most challenging domains for robust shot boundary detection.We proposed a shot boundary detection algorithm for soccer Mop Bucket

Relationship between vertebral endplate degeneration (Modic changes, Schmorl nodes, endplate irregularities) and Bone Mineral Density
Objective: The end plate plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity, balancing biomechanical and supplying nutrition, how dose it changes with the reduced bone mineral density (BMD) remains unknown.The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between lumbar end plate degeneration and normal BMD, osteopenia and
New episodic learning interferes with the reconsolidation of autobiographical memories.
It Round Dining Table is commonly assumed that, with time, an initially labile memory is transformed into a permanent one via a process of consolidation.Yet, recent evidence indicates that memories can return to a fragile state again when reactivated, requiring a period of reconsolidation.In the study described here, we found that participants who
