The Pareto Distribution is proposed as a new model for high resolution, high grazing angle radar sea clutter returns. It is assessed using the Ingara radar clutter gathered in 2004. Included is range profile modelling as well as global distributional fitting to clutter streams. APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Garsia and Remmel (JCT. A 41 (1986), 246-275) used rook configurations to give a combinatorial interpretation to the q-analogue of a formula of Frobenius relating the Stirling numbers of the second kind to the Eulerian polynomials. Later, Remmel and Wachs defined generalized p, q-Stirling numbers of the first and second kind in terms of rook placements. Additionally, they extended their definit...

The paper presents quantitative analysis of the video quality losses in the homogenous HEVC video transcoder. With the use of HM15.0 reference software and a set of test video sequences, cascaded pixel domain video transcoder (CPDT) concept has been used to gather all the necessary data needed for the analysis. This experiment was done for wide range of source and target bitrates. The essential...
