MPEG-4 aims at providing standardized core technologies allowing efficient storage, transmission and manipulation of video data in multimedia environments. In order to achieve this broad goal, rather than a solution for a narrow set of applications, functionalities common to clusters of applications are under consideration. The encoded representation, along with the set of tools and algorithms ...

A common way to study protein function is to deplete the protein of interest from cells and observe the response. Traditional methods involve disrupting gene expression but these techniques are only effective against newly synthesized proteins and leave previously existing and stable proteins untouched. Here, we introduce a technique that induces the rapid degradation of specific proteins in ma...

Wireless techniques have developed extremely fast over the last decade and using them for data and power transmission in particle physics detectors is not sciencefiction any more. During the last years several research groups have independently thought of making it a reality. Wireless techniques became a mature field for research and new developments might have impact on future particle physics...

Treadmill walking gait analyses are frequently conducted due to their ease of collecting multiple strides of data, minimal space required and ability to finely control speed. The question of whether treadmill (TM) walking gait replicates overground (OG) walking gait on a level surface, has been extensively studied. From a spatiotemporal perspective, TM walking on a level surface generally simul...

In this paper, a TDMA-based Randomly Addressed Polling protocol (TRAP) is proposed. TRAP employs a variable-length TDMA-based contention stage with the length based on the number of active stations. Simulation results are presented that reveal the superiority of TRAP against the RAP protocol in cases of medium and high offered loads. Furthermore the implementation of TRAP is much simpler than t...

A solution to get the problem off, have you found it? Really? What kind of solution do you resolve the problem? From what sources? Well, there are so many questions that we utter every day. No matter how you will get the solution, it will mean better. You can take the reference from some books. And the interdependencies in the discovery and adoption of facebook applications an empirical investi...

This study presented a transformation approach of Model Driven Architecture for 3-tiered applications. Mapping rules from computation independent model to platform independent model and from platform independent model to platform specific model were developed. This approach was demonstrated using an on-line bookshop application. With this approach, the weak link of Model Driven Architecture, tr...
