In this work, we study the ability to use hand gestures for human-machine interaction from wrist-worn sensors.Towards this goal, we design a wrist-worn prototype to capture RGB video stream of hand gestures.Then we built a new wrist-worn gesture dataset (named WiGes) with various subjects in interaction with home appliances in different environment

The correct representation of convection in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is essential for quantitative precipitation forecasts.Due to its small horizontal scale convection usually has to be parameterized, e.g.by mass flux convection schemes.Classical schemes originally developed for use in coarse grid NWP models assume zero net convect

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is an emerging approach of software engineering.MDE emphasizes the construction of models from which the implementation should be derived by applying model transformations.The Ontology Definition Meta-model (ODM) has been proposed as a profile for UML models of the Web Ontology Language (OWL).In this context, transfor

The water cooling system plays an important role in the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station.To reduce the leakage current among metal components, a certain number of platinum electrodes are installed at the distributary pipes.However, due to electric field distortion around the platinum electrode, over 66% faults of the cooling sys

Our previous work on the mechanism of virulence for the unique isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus that cause acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VPAHPND) revealed that it was mediated by a binary Pir-like toxin pair ToxA and ToxB.These toxins are located on the pVA plasmid, a plasmid carried by AHPND-causing strain of V.parahaemolyticus with
