background: the mesobuthus eupeus scorpion venoms are known to contain α-toxin peptides, many of which interfere with k+ ion channel function. these toxin peptides have important value in  the pharmacology and physiology studies of specific k+ channel of cells. objectives: given the  lack of information of the molecular biology of peptides in the toxin of iranian scorpions, the aim of this stud...

This paper presents a general framework for combined source-channel coding within the context of subband coding. The unequal importance of sub-bands in reconstruction of the source is exploited by an appropriate allocation of source and channel coding rates for the coding and transmission of subbands over a noisy channel. For each subband, the source coding rate as well as the level of protecti...

An integrated framework of optimal rate allocation for video coding is presented in the case of transmission over wireless channels without feedback channels. For a fixed channel bit rate and finite number of channel coding rate, the proposed scheme can find the optimal source and channel coding pair and corresponding robust video coding scheme such that the expected end-to-end distortion of vi...
