The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

Several compressionschemesfor Internet video utilize block-based conditional replenishment (CR) where block updates are coded independently of the past. In the current Internet video tools, blocks are compressed with a single-layer representation. We propose a new approach that compresses image blocks using a layered representation. Our Layered-DCT (LDCT) compression algorithm, derived from pro...

We are concerned about the problem of the real-time transmission of constant quality video. A gain in channel utilization is achieved when several Variable Bit Rate video sources share a common channel. To achieve such gain, the impact of cell losses on video quality degradation should be considered. Layered video coding has proved to tolerate more cell losses than non-layered video coding whil...

Both theoretical investigations and successful experimental research were performed recently, confirming the existence and demonstrating the main properties of bulk strain solitary waves in nonlinearly elastic solid wave guides. Our current research is devoted to non-linear wave processes in layered elastic wave guides with inhomogeneities modelling damage/delamination. Here, we present first e...

In this paper we present an Image-Based Rendering method for post-warping LDI’s in real-time on existing systems. The algorithm performs accurate splatting at low computational costs, reduces memoryaccess bottlenecks, enables us to trade-off the quality for the speed, and is simple to implement.

We are concerned about the problem of transmitting constant quality video over the B-ISDN. A gain in channel utilization is achieved when several Variable Bit Rate video sources share a common ATM connection. To achieve such gain, the impact of cell losses on video quality degradation should be considered. Multi-layered video coding has proved to tolerate more cell losses than non-layered video...

The main finding of this paper is a novel avalanche-size exponent τ ≈ 1.87 when the generalised sandpile dynamics evolves on the real-world Japanese inter-firm network. The topology of this network is non-layered and directed, displaying the typical bow tie structure found in real-world directed networks, with cycles and triangles. We show that one can move from a strictly layered regular latti...
