Synchronization is widely regarded as a fundamental problem in multimedia systems. One can distinguish between two levels of multimedia synchronization, continuous synchronization and event-based synchronization. While the first one aims at the synchronized play-out of data streams, the latter ones orchestrates the presentation of possibly distributed multimedia objects. Multimedia objects may ...

Time Synchronization in wireless networks is extremely important for basic communication, but it also provides the ability to detect movement, location, and proximity. The synchronization problem consists of four parts: send time, access time, propagation time, and receive time. Three current synchronization protocol Reference Broadcast Synchronization, Timing-sync Protocol for Sensor Networks,...

Background: To design a pre-Ovsynch hormonal strategy in yaks in order to increase the ovulatory response to the first GnRH injection of Ovsynch so that overall synchronization rate to Ovsynch could be improved. Materials and Methods: Non-lactating cyclic yak cows (n=33) were assigned to receive either no treatment before Ovsynch (control) or 0.375mg of PGF2(PreP) followed 2 d later by 10 g of ...

A Database Synchronization Algorithm for Mobile Devices proposes an ISAMD (Improved Synchronization Algorithms based on Secured Message Digest) algorithm based on Secured Message Digest and efficient synchronization in order to facilitate data synchronization between a server-side database and a mobile database. The ISAMD algorithm makes the images at the server-side database and the mobile dat...

Time synchronization is necessary in many distributed systems, but achieving synchronization in sensornets, which combine stringent precision requirements with severe resource constraints, is particularly challenging. This challenge has been met by the recent Reference-Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) proposal, which provides ondemand pairwise synchronization with low overhead and high precision...

Abstract Time synchronization based on IEEE 1588 synchronization protocol aims to synchronize the slave clock to the master clock. Conventional synchronization algorithm focuses on calibrating offset of the slave clock with respect to the master clock. In this paper, a novel method of time synchronization is proposed, the proposed method improves the synchronization precision by considering bot...

Daily music experience involves synchronizing movements in time with a perceived periodic beat. It has been established for over a century that beat synchronization is less stable for the visual than for the auditory modality. This auditory advantage of beat synchronization gives rise to the hypotheses that the neural and evolutionary mechanisms underlying beat synchronization are modality-spec...

This paper presents a novel non-flat synchronization model where the synchronization capacity of each agent is different regarding its social rank and strategy dominance. In the presented model, the prominent agents may have higher synchronization forces, and finally the collective synchronization results may incline to converge at such prominent agents’ strategies, which is called prominence c...
