The proposed system introduces a novel framework that can optimize the bandwidth and maintain better visual qualities by performing transcoding on the multimedia contents mainly targeted over the mobile devices. The system designed in Matlab considers both image and video as input file and performs multimedia transcoding considering BMP, GIFF, and JPEG formats supporta-bility on mobile devices....

Research is ongoing that examines parallel direct block-diagonal-bordered sparse linear solvers for irregular sparse matrix problems derived from electrical power system applications. Parallel block-diagonal-bordered sparse linear solvers exhibit distinct advantages when compared to current general parallel direct sparse matrix solvers. Our research shows that actual power system matrices can b...

The multiple minimum degree (MMD) algorithm and its variants have enjoyed 20+ years of research and progress in generating ll-reducing orderings for sparse, symmetric positive deenite matrices. Although conceptually simple, eecient implementations of these algorithms are deceptively complex and highly specialized. In this case study, we present an object-oriented library that implements several...

We propose a new test generation method in which the test vectors or test sequences are generated based on the predetermined testing prooles. A testing pro-le describes the Boolean function and the minimum test requirement of a cell which may be a gate in a gate level netlist or a VLSI cell from the standard cell library. The proposed testing method provides exi-bility in dealing with diierent ...

Serum transfusion of 15 to 55ml was done in 30 cases, and prothrombin time, thrombo-test, and plasma clot time were measured at various intervals. A marked shortening of clotting time was seen in 13 of 17 cases with normal coagula bility and 11 of 13 cases of abnormal blood clotting. Favorable clinical effects were seen in 5 of 8 cases of leukemia including a case with oozing from the tongue, a...

The electronic communications systems that are proliferating throughout modern society offer speed, accuracy and ever diminishing cost. They also present serious problems of security. As the ordinary transactions cond ucted in person, on the telephone or by written co�respondence have come increasingly to be conducted by new kinds of electronic systems the suscepti­ bility of organizations and ...

The Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen on the Mental and Verbal A bility of Stroke Patients • Based upon the assumption that oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure (OHP) might improve the verbal and mental function of patients who had suffered vascular infarcts, 32 stroke patients were exposed to such an ambient atmosphere and tested under controlled conditions. The results make it clear that a s...

Real parallel applications nd little beneets from code porta-bility that does not guarantee acceptable eeciency. In this paper, we describe the new features of a framework that allows the development of Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) applications adaptable to different distributed-memory machines, varying from traditional parallel computers to networks of workstations. Special programming ...

T raffic congestion and personal mom bility preservation are the most challenging issues facing transportation professionals. From Phoenix to San Francisco to Washington, D. C., citizens are identifying transportation as their number one concern,’ outweighing issues such as pollution, overpopulation, unemployment, and crime. In the state of Washington, particularly in the greater Seattle area, ...
