This article focuses on the compressed representations of pictures. The representation does
not affect how many bits get from the Web server to the laptop, but it determines the …

We present the unequal loss protection (ULP) framework in which unequal amounts of
forward error correction are applied to progressive data to provide graceful degradation of …

Sulfated zirconia with S content of 2 wt.% equivalent to complete coverage of its surface was
studied by infrared spectroscopy. At least four sulfated species were identified and exhibited …

The paper addresses the important issues of resource allocation for scalable video
transmission over third generation (3G) wireless networks. By taking the time-varying …

We present a simple and efficient scheme for using the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees
(SPIHT) image compression algorithm in a generalized multiple description framework. To …

A multiple description transform coding (MDTC) method has been reported previously. The
redundancy rate distortion (RRD) performance of this coding scheme for the independent …

In tegral equation approaches based on layered media Green's functions are often used to
extract models of integrated circuit structures. The primary advan tage of these approaches …

This monograph illustrates a novel approach, which is based on changing the focus to seek
approximate solutions accompanied by universal guarantees on the gap to optimality, in …

Multicasting of video signals over wireless networks has recently become a very popular
application. Here, one major challenge is to accommodate heterogeneous users who have …

In this paper, we propose a balanced multiple description video coding scheme which is
based on the partitioning of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. Our scheme …
