in this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (rca) for variable bit rate (vbr) videoapplications. the proposed rca provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.by controlling the quantization parameter (qp) on a picturebasis, it produces vbr video bit streams. the proposed rcahas been implemented on the jm h.264/avc video codec andth...

environmental kuznets curve (ekc) is one of the known concepts in environmental economics developed dramatically over the last twenty years ago. one of the advances in studying the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality is concerning the spatial autocorrelation of ecological phenomena. the rationale behind spatial environmental kuznets curve (sekc) is similar to ekc incl...

Background The SAturation-recovery single-SHot Acquisition (SASHA) T1 mapping sequence has excellent accuracy independent of T1, T2, heart rate, and flip angle [1], which are known dependencies of the more commonly used MOdified Look-Locker Inversion-recovery (MOLLI) sequence. However, SASHA has a greater T1 variability (poorer precision) compared to MOLLI. A two-parameter fit, with assumed ide...

determining the promising area for ore deposits is one of the most important steps of prospecting in regional scales. there are many different methods for identifying these areas including geochemical and geophysical methods, remote sensing and sophisticated statistical methods. based on the theory of spatial relations between the dispersion pattern of ore deposits and metallogenic provinces, m...

We present the first unambiguous case of external variability of an extra–galactic radio source, the CLASS gravitational lens B1600+434, consisting of two images lensed by an edge–on disk galaxy. The VLA 8.5–GHz difference light curve of the lens images shows external variability at the 14.6–σ confidence level. Although the current single–frequency VLA observations cannot conclusively exclude s...

A master element to be employed as a general spatial rod finite element is presented. This spatially curved and pretwisted element can have variable cross-section and variable curvature change. It may also be resting on an elastic foundation. Also, a finite element formulation for a general earthquake analysis of spatial rods is presented. The theoretical foundation has lead to a general-purpos...

In this paper, a new type of multi-variable compensation control method for the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is presented. Based on wind energy conversion systems, combining artificial neural network (ANN) control and PID, a new type of PID NN intelligent controller for steady state torque of the wind generator is designed, by which the steady state torque output is regulated to track ...
