We present an efficient rate control strategy for H.264 in order to maximize the video quality by appropriately determining the quantization parameter (QP) for each macroblock. To break the chicken-and-egg dilemma resulting from QP-dependent ratedistortion optimization (RDO) in H.264, a preanalysis phase is conducted to gain the necessary source information, and then the coarse QP is decided fo...

To improve the performance of a robust control, in presence of internal or external disturbance and uncertainties, to make a smooth tracking and elimination of high frequency disturbances especially in accurate systems with minimum power consumption an integration of robust optimal controller considered. Here, derivation and implementation of the proposed controller based on the combination of ...

This paper mainly deals with the models for type free h-calculus defined by Plotkin [IS], Engeler [12] and Scott [22]. (See also [9] for a similar construction.) Plotkin-Scott-Algebras (PSE-Algebras, in view of Engeler’s approach) are built up in a very natural set theoretic way and provide a generalization of early ideas in Scott [20,21]. Namely, the notion of application (interpreting formal ...

Part 1 of this paper is the previously unpublished 1972 memorandum [43], with editorial changes and some minor corrections. Part 2 presents what happened next, together with some further development of the material. The rst part begins with an elementary set-theoretical model of the -calculus. Functions are modeled in a similar way to that normally employed in set theory, by their graphs; di cu...

the locus of control is a construct reflecting beliefs about the control of behavior and life events. according to this perception, people are grouped into two main categories: an internal and external locus of control. the main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between wheat yield performance, locus of control and wheat growers’ (wg) characteristics. survey research met...

We present a systematic study of N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories which are in the Coulomb phase. We show how to find all such theories based on a simple gauge group and no tree-level superpotential. We find the low-energy solution for the new theories in terms of a hyperelliptic Seiberg-Witten curve. This work completes the study of all N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories where the Dynkin i...
