Implementation Of Fast Inter-prediction Mode Decision In H.264/AVC Video Encoder
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (advanced video coding) is currently one of the most widely used industry standards for video compression. There are several video codec solutions, both software and hardware, available in the ...
Implementation And Analysis Of Directional Discrete Cosine Transform In H.264 For Baseline Profile
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
H.264/AVC [1] is a video coding standard that has a wide range of applications ranging from high-end professional camera and editing systems to low-end mobile applications. They strive to achieve maximum compression ...
Toward A Theory Of Narrative Rhetoric
(English, 2012-07-25)
This dissertation suggests that the question of whether or not America should employ torture as a means of fighting a post-9/11 War on Terror was not so much debated as it was asserted (in the affirmative) by the presidential ...
Rhetoric, Composition And Preaching: What Homiletic Pedagogy Can Learn About Imitation From Composition Pedagogies
(English, 2012-07-25)
Across the centuries there have been thousands of books and articles written about preaching and writing. Homiletics and Composition Studies have this in common. A great difference comes when one looks for information about ...
Implicit Learning In The Remedial English Classroom: Steps Towards A Pedegogy Of Literacy
(English, 2012-07-25)
This paper discusses the dynamics of implicit learning in the Remedial English classroom. In order to elucidate the topic, the area of explicit learning is also covered. By tracing the history of implicit learning theoretically ...
Numerical Study Of Drop Formation From Dripping To Jetting
(Mechanical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The formation of liquid droplet from a capillary tube has been examined using numerical simulations. The dimensions of the capillary tube and the flow velocity have been varied to observe the regimes of drop formation. ...
Use Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete In Structural Members With Highly Complex Stress Fields
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Reinforced concrete (RC) members with significant geometric discontinuities and complex stress distributions under loading require considerable analyses and usually complicated reinforcement detailing. RC members with large ...
Evolutionary Relationships In Some Northern Groups Of The Direct-developing Frog Genus Craugastor (Anura: Craugastoridae)
(Biology, 2012-07-25)
Comparing phylogeographic patterns among vertebrates can give insight into the landscape and ecological determinants of phylogenetic diversity. However, in certain taxonomic groups (e.g., birds and mammals) natural history ...
Mode Truncation Analysis In Forced Response Of Structural Dynamics
(Mechanical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Mode truncation in Modal analysis is an important problem and should be addressed with an effective truncation criterion. The truncation errors are considered as error forces and these error limits can be used to select ...
Measurement Of The Spectral Distribution Of The Low Energy Electrons Emitted As A Result Of M₃VV Auger Transitions In Cu(100)
(Physics, 2012-04-11)
Auger Photoelectron Coincidence Spectroscopy (APECS) was used to investigate the physics of the Low Energy Tail (LET) region of the Auger spectrum of a Cu(100) sample. Two Cylindrical Mirror Analyzers (CMAs) were used to ...
