The goal of this paper is to discuss how current trends in video acquisition, display and applications may impact video compression technology. We start by discussing some of these key trends, and in particular the challenges posed by scaling (increased frame resolutions) and the need for flexible access to complex datasets. Then we provide an overview of the recent evolution of video compressi...

The paper extends the mathematical formalism of quantum physics to include economics. The novelty of the approach is based upon a human-factor-based behavioral model of an intelligent agent. The model is quantum inspired: it is represented by a modified Madelung equation in which the gradient of quantum potential is replaced by a specially chosen information force. It consists of motor dynamics...

Understanding and quantifying ES flows is essential for the sustainable management of social-ecological systems, as it directly captures human-nature interactions within system not solely its individual elements. Especially in degrading marine most assessments focus on either biophysical or socio-economic elements these failing to capture interactions. This systematic literature review aims sta...

Recent experiments by several groups have uncovered a novel fingering instability in the spreading of surface active material on a thin liquid film. The mechanism responsible for this instability is yet to be determined. In an effort to understand this phenomenon and isolate a possible mechanism, we have investigated the linear stability of a coupled set of equations describing the Marangoni sp...

The design and implementation of personal communications systems requires the prediction of wave propagation relating to signal-to-noise and signal-to-interference calculation in a cellular system [93]. Small-cell network configurations especially microand pico-cell types are of major interest for urban environments. The commonly used criteria for the definition of a micro-cell is related to th...

We report on an effort to study the connections between dynamics in simulated radio galaxy plasma flows and the properties of nonthermal electron populations carried in those flows. To do this we have introduced a new numerical scheme for electron transport that allows a much more detailed look at this problem than has been possible before. Especially when the dynamics is fully three dimensiona...
