ABSTRACT An efficient and flexible coding technique is proposed in this paper inspired by the SP frame in the H.26L standard, which can achieve a drift-free bitstream switching at the predicted frame. The proposed scheme improves the coding efficiency of the SP frames in the H.26L standard by limiting the mismatch betwe...

The development of additive manufactured metals is in the transition phase, from research into technology 3D printing and resulting properties towards their use industrial practice. article analyses possibilities producing bicycle frames using printing. stresses a frame are analysed for measured load spectra FEM simulation. approach to fatigue life assessment based on directly multipliers detai...

Video abstraction allows searching, browsing and evaluating videos only by accessing the useful contents. Most of the studies are using pixel domain, which requires the decoding process and needs more time and process consuming than compressed domain video abstraction. In this paper, we present a new video abstraction method in H.264/AVC compressed domain, AVAIF. The method is based on the norm...

In the article, we find new dilatation results on non-commutative $$L^p$$ spaces. We prove that any self-adjoint, unital, positive measurable Schur multiplier some $$B(L^2(\Sigma ))$$ admits, for all $$1\leqslant p<\infty $$ , an invertible isometric dilation -space. obtain a similar result completely Fourier VN(G), when G is unimodular locally compact group. Furthermore, establish multivariabl...

A fruitful approach for solving signal deconvolution problems consists of resorting to a framebased convex variational formulation. In this context, parallel proximal algorithms and related alternating direction methods of multipliers have become popular optimization techniques to approximate iteratively the desired solution. Until now, in most of these methods, either Lipschitz differentiabili...

The main purpose of this paper was to use a combination of Energy-based design method and whale algorithm (WOA), hereinafter referred to as E-WOA, to optimize steel moment frames and improve the seismic performance. In E-WOA, by properly estimating the seismic input energy and determining the optimal mechanism for the structure, steel frames are designed based on the energy balance method; acco...

An experimental study is conducted on three ½ scales, single-story, single-bay, frame specimens. The first specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with solid-brick infill. The second specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with hollow clay perforated-brick infill. The last specimen was a reinforced concrete frame without any infill. These three specimens were tested by pseudostatic method. Di...
