Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a commonly adopted mechanism to mitigate packet loss/bit error during real-time communication. An adaptive, Fuzzy based FEC algorithm provide robust video quality metric for multimedia transmission over wireless networks has been proposed optimize the redundancy of generated code words from Reed-Solomon encoder and save bandwidth network channel. The scheme on ...

This study tested the impact of moxidectin at peripartum on nematode fecal egg count (FEC) and clinical parameters on ewes in the high altitude tropical Andes of Colombia. FEC and clinical evaluations were performed on 9 occasions in 43 naturally infected ewes before and during gestation and after lambing. Moxidectin (Mox, 200 µg kg(-1)) was applied at late pregnancy (T 1, n = 15) or 48 hours a...

OBJECTIVE To compare larvicidal regimens of fenbendazole and moxidectin for reduction and suppression of cyathostomin fecal egg counts (FEC) in a transient herd of embryo transfer-recipient mares. DESIGN Randomized, complete block, clinical trial. ANIMALS 120 mares from 21 states, residing on 1 farm. PROCEDURES An initial fecal sample was collected from each mare; mares with an FEC ≥ 200 ...

BACKGROUND Extensive studies have confirmed the efficacy of taxanes in combination with anthracycline-based chemotherapy on breast cancer. However, few studies have assessed the efficacy of weekly taxane-anthracycline regimens on locally advanced breast cancer. This study was to compare the efficacy and safety of a weekly taxane-anthracycline regimen with those of tri-weekly anthracycline-based...

Haemonchus contortus is a blood-sucking parasite causing the presence of faecal occult blood (FOB). The objective was to study three different FOB tests in order to have a new indicator of H. contortus infection in sheep that could be included in the genetic evaluation system as an alternative selection criterion to faecal worm egg count (FEC). A total of 29 Corriedale lambs were experimentally...

Replacement of graphite with alloying and conversion materials, having high specific capacity, has emerged as versatile route to increasing the energy density Li-ion batteries. A key challenge is large volume change in these which leads an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The use sacrificial additives, such fluoroethylene-carbonate (FEC), been established effective strategy for cons...

Erasure resilient FEC codes in off-line packetized streaming rely on time diversity. This requires unrestricted buffering time at the receiver. In real-time streaming the playback buffering time must be very short. Path diversity is an orthogonal strategy. However, the large number of long paths increases the number of underlying links and consecutively the overall link failure rate. This may i...

© 2011 Mari Carmen Domingo 299 Energy consumption is a key issue in body sensor networks (BSNs) since energy-constrained sensors monitor the vital signs of human beings in healthcare applications. In this paper, packet size optimization for BSNs has been analyzed to improve the efficiency of energy consumption. Existing studies on packet size optimization in wireless sensor networks cannot be a...

With the development of computer technology and Internet technology, more and more real-time error control principles are implemented. Based on research of error control technology, In this thesis, we implement data packet’s coding and decoding based on Reed-Solomon code through looking chart; and emulate the real-time error control systems that use error control methods of FEC and FEC/ ARQ. Ex...

Forward error correction (FEC) has been widely used in optical communication systems to compensate for the degradation of the received optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR). Current optical networks tend to use the same type of FEC for all the lightpaths even though lightpaths with higher OSNRs can be established by FECs with lower overhead. This paper proposes an adaptive approach to choose the...
