The Relationship Of The Grip Strength Of The Aiming Arm To Weight, Some Special Characteristics Physical Abilities, And The Numerical Level Of The Effectiveness Of The Shot Put And The Javelin Throwing For Novice Students, Amal Suleiman Saleh Alzoubi

Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Research in Higher Education مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للبحوث في التعليم العالي

The study aimed to identify the relationship of the grip strength of the aiming arm with weight, some special characteristics, physical capabilities, and the numerical level of the two events of shot put and javelin throwing among junior athletics students. The researcher used the descriptive approach to suit the nature of the study. Physical tests, special measurements and the distance of the digital performance level for the shot put and javelin actions were performed,The Results showed that there is a moderate correlation between grip strength and (arm length, upper arm circumference, and burst strength of the arms) and the absence …

Stochastic Trajectory Prediction Via Motion Indeterminacy Diffusion, Tianpei Gu, Guangyi Chen, Junlong Li, Chunze Lin, Yongming Rao, Jie Zhou, Jiwen Lu

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Human behavior has the nature of indeterminacy, which requires the pedestrian trajectory prediction system to model the multi-modality of future motion states. Unlike existing stochastic trajectory prediction methods which usually use a latent variable to represent multi-modality, we explicitly simulate the process of human motion variation from indeterminate to determinate. In this paper, we present a new framework to formulate the trajectory prediction task as a reverse process of motion indeterminacy diffusion (MID), in which we progressively discard indeterminacy from all the walkable areas until reaching the desired trajectory. This process is learned with a parameterized Markov chain conditioned by …

Ubnormal: New Benchmark For Supervised Open-Set Video Anomaly Detection, Andra Acsintoae, Andrei Florescu, Mariana-Iuliana Georgescu, Tudor Mare, Paul Sumedrea, Radu Tudor Ionescu, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Mubarak Shah

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Detecting abnormal events in video is commonly framed as a one-class classification task, where training videos contain only normal events, while test videos encompass both normal and abnormal events. In this scenario, anomaly detection is an open-set problem. However, some studies assimilate anomaly detection to action recognition. This is a closed-set scenario that fails to test the capability of systems at detecting new anomaly types. To this end, we propose UBnormal, a new supervised open-set benchmark composed of multiple virtual scenes for video anomaly detection. Unlike existing data sets, we introduce abnormal events annotated at the pixel level at training …

Pstr: End-To-End One-Step Person Search With Transformers, Jiale Cao, Pang Yanwei, Rao Anwer, Hisham Cholakkal, Jin Xie, Mubarak Shah, Fahad Shahbaz Khan

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

We propose a novel one-step transformer-based person search framework, PSTR, that jointly performs person detection and re-identification (re-id) in a single architecture. PSTR comprises a person search-specialized (PSS) module that contains a detection encoder-decoder for person detection along with a discriminative re-id decoder for person re-id. The discriminative re-id decoder utilizes a multi-level supervision scheme with a shared decoder for discriminative re-id feature learning and also comprises a part attention block to encode relationship between different parts of a person. We further introduce a simple multi-scale scheme to support re-id across person instances at different scales. PSTR jointly achieves the …

Maximum Spatial Perturbation Consistency For Unpaired Image-To-Image Translation, Yanwu Xu, Shaoan Xie, Wenhao Wu, Kun Zhang, Mingming Gong, Kayhan Batmanghelich

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Unpaired image-to-image translation (I2I) is an ill-posed problem, as an infinite number of translation functions can map the source domain distribution to the target distribution. Therefore, much effort has been put into designing suitable constraints, e.g., cycle consistency (CycleGAN), geometry consistency (GCGAN), and contrastive learning-based constraints (CUTGAN), that help better pose the problem. However, these well-known constraints have limitations: (1) they are either too restrictive or too weak for specific I2I tasks; (2) these methods result in content distortion when there is a significant spatial variation between the source and target domains. This paper proposes a universal regularization technique called …

Collin Walsh ’13 Named A "Careers & The Disabled" Magazine “National Employee Of The Year”, James Owsley Boyd

Keep Up With the Latest News from the Law School (blog)

On the third day of Foreign Service orientation as a U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service special agent candidate, Collin Walsh couldn’t walk.

The 2013 Maurer School of Law alumnus had been experiencing mild symptoms, like skin sensitivity in his legs, over the previous week, but didn’t make anything of it.

In that first week of DSS training, Walsh went from mild symptoms to near complete immobility. Seemingly overnight, the former NCAA All-American middle-distance runner couldn’t move. . .

Water Banking Can Help Great Salt Lake, Sarah E. Null

Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications

Utah’s Great Salt Lake is a treasured resource, yet dedicated flows have not been established to preserve the economic, ecological, and cultural values that the lake provides. Utah’s prior appropriation law allocates water rights based on time of first use, meaning agricultural water uses typically have senior rights. Utah’s Water Banking Act, which was adopted in 2020, presents an opportunity to reallocate some water to the environment within existing appropriative rights water law.

Under the act, water users can create local water banks to temporarily lease water. Leased water can be used for various purposes, including environmental or agricultural uses. …

How Disillusioned Debate Documentarians Discovered The Silver Lining, Gypsy Moody, Chuck Hodgin

Library Faculty Scholarship

Belmont University was chosen to host the final presidential debate of the 2020 election. Undeterred by even the COVID-19 pandemic, administration was determined to forge ahead with holding this historic event at Belmont. They formed a committee to document the event and archive its materials. As IR managers, we thanked our lucky stars for this huge opportunity and potential spotlight for our relatively unheralded IR. We were tasked with writing a scalable preservation policy and collecting and archiving physical and digital Debate materials. Unfortunately, our pursuit of these goals revealed that the university had some work to do before we …
