This paper presents a new kernel-based algorithm for video object tracking called rebound of region of interest (RROI). The novel algorithm uses a rectangle-shaped section as region of interest (ROI) to represent and track specific objects in videos. The proposed algorithm is constituted by two stages. The first stage seeks to determine the direction of the object’s motion by analyzing the changing regions around the object being tracked between two consecutive frames. Once the direction of the object’s motion has been predicted, it is initialized an iterative process that seeks to minimize a function of dissimilarity in order to find the location of the object being tracked in the next frame. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is that, unlike existing kernel-based methods, it is immune to highly cluttered conditions. The results obtained by the proposed algorithm show that the tracking process was successfully carried out for a set of color videos with different challenging conditions such as occlusion, illumination changes, cluttered conditions, and object scale changes.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
