In this paper, we investigate the transmission of H.263 video sequences over wireless networks with error recovery provided by a twostep adaptive hybrid ARQ scheme using RS codes. Each video frame is divided into data packets for transmission. For each packet transmission, by using a simple table-driven approach, the best RS code is selected from a given set of codes to minimize the transmissio...

Infected tibial nonunions with bone loss pose an extremely challenging problem for the orthopaedic surgeon. A comprehensive approach that addresses the infection, bone quality, and overlying soft-tissue integrity must be considered for a successful outcome. Acute shortening with an Ilizarov frame has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of open tibia fractures with simultaneous bone and so...

For the majority of object tracking scenario, the emphasis has been put on achieving robust motion estimation in different situations. In this paper, besides introducing a multiple frame based 3D motion estimation to handle the partial occlusion problem, we present an object shape delineation scheme by dual region growing. As it is well−known, the problem of shape extraction of a moving object ...

Quantization in the minisuperspace of non minimal scalar-tensor theories leads to a partial differential equation which is non separable. Through a conformal transformation we can recast the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an integrable form, which corresponds to the minimal coupling case, whose general solution is known. Performing the inverse conformal transformation in the solution so found, we c...

The linguistic annotation of noun-verb complex predicates (also termed as light verb constructions) is challenging as these predicates are highly productive in Hindi. For semantic role labelling, each argument of the noun-verb complex predicate must be given a role label. For complex predicates, frame files need to be created specifying the role labels for each noun-verb complex predicate. The ...

let $l$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{r}l$ be the ringof continuous real-valued functions on $l$. we study the frame$mathfrak{o}(min(mathcal{r}l))$ of minimal prime ideals of$mathcal{r}l$ in relation to $beta l$. for $iinbeta l$, denoteby $textit{textbf{o}}^i$ the ideal${alphainmathcal{r}lmidcozalphain i}$ of $mathcal{r}l$. weshow that sending $i$ to the set of minimal prime ideals...

in this paper, we characterize multiresolution analysis(mra) parseval frame multiwavelets in l^2(r^d) with matrix dilations of the form (d f )(x) = sqrt{2}f (ax), where a is an arbitrary expanding dtimes d matrix with integer coefficients, such that |deta| =2. we study a class of generalized low pass matrix filters that allow us to define (and construct) the subclass of mra tight frame multiwav...

To avoid a new exposition and partial damage of a knee arthrodesis site due to the removal of the Wichita fusion nail (WFN), a new extraction technique was developed, using a femoral osteotomy at the proximal end of the nail. Fixing the osteotomy with an Ilizarov frame offered the possibility to perform an additional correction of length and/or alignment if necessary.

In this paper, we present the results of an experiment in which we assess the usefulness of partial semi-automatic annotation for frame labeling. While we found no conclusive evidence that it can speed up human annotation, automatic pre-annotation does increase its overall quality.

We provide existence and uniqueness of global (and local) mild solutions for a general class of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations driven by Wiener processes and Poisson random measures under local Lipschitz and linear growth (or local boundedness, resp.) conditions. The socalled “method of the moving frame” allows us to reduce the SPDE problems to SDE problems.
