Transcoding From H264 Bitstream To MPEG-2 Bitstream
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
H.264/AVC was recently developed by the JVT (Joint Video Team). This new standard fulfills significant coding efficiency, simple syntax specifications and seamless integration of video coding into all current protocols and ...
Effects Of Religiosity And REBT On Substance Abuse And Mental Health
(Social Work, 2007-08-23)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the impact of a Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)-based treatment program on subjects levels of risk for alcohol and drug abuse as measured by the Substance Abuse Questionnaire ...
Magnetically Anchored "reduced Trocar" Laparoscopy: Evolution Of Surgical Robotics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last few years due to its benefits; lower morbidity, less perceived pain, better cosmesis results, and less hospital time. For the surgeon however, there are ...
ARRIBOT- An Enabler For Studying Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The objective of this thesis is to structure a mobile wireless sensor network using low cost, custom made robotic platforms. Over the years, several projects have proved that the performance of a static wireless sensor ...
Region Of Interest (ROI) Based Rate Control For H.263 Compatible Video Conferecing
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation presents a region of interest (ROI) based H.263 [10] [13] compatible video codec, which integrates the idea of object-based coding from MPEG-4 Visual [9] [15] into the traditional block-based H.263 codec. ...
Spectroscopic Characterization Of Biliary Tract Tissues In-vivo To Assist Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a surgical method for removal of gallbladder when it is diseased with gall stones. Almost 750,000 people are affected with this disease annually in USA. Gall bladder is removed by placing ...
Diffusion-free Back Contact Solar Cells On S-passivated Si(100) Substrates
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)
A diffusion-free back contact solar cell is proposed in this work. The textured front-side of this cell is coated with ~100 nm thermal SiO2 to enhance the light trapping meanwhile reduce the surface recombination velocity ...
Design And Functionality Analysis Of Operational Amplifiers With Rail-to-rail Input And Output Capability
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The operational amplifier (op amp) is a fundamental building block in analog integrated circuit design. For low power-supply voltages, the common-mode input voltage and the output voltage of op amps are always required to ...
Self-organization And Resource Allocation In Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In this dissertation, we utilize clustering to organize wireless sensors into an energy-efficient hierarchy. We propose a Medium-Contention Based ClusterHeadship Auction (MCCHA) scheme, through which sensors self-organize ...
Computational Analysis Of Variability Of Recombination In Mice
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Rapid advances in engineering and technology have fueled research in areas such as molecular biology and genetics to a new level and thus have given birth to multidisciplinary fields like bioinformatics and computational ...
