Transmisión eficiente de flujos de video ante la convergencia digital

Technological development has promoted the demand for voice, data, and video services. This trend has produced the so called Triple Play (voice, data, and video network services). This article studies the efficient transmission of video in this type of networks. Specifically, the article presents the evaluation of the performance of video flows generated by a modified codec H.26/AVC. This modif...

Ante-partum Thrombo-embolism.

WHILST thrombo-embolism is a well recognised complication of the puerperium, ante-partum it is rare. No mention of its management is to be found in standard textbooks. Despite controversy concerning the value of anticoagulant treatment in arterial thrombotic disease, the efficacy of this therapy in venous thrombo-embolism is now well established. The apparent rarity of this condition in the ant...

Multicolor Photometry of the Uranus Irregular Satellites Sycorax and Caliban

We report on accurate BVRI photometry for the two Uranus irregular satellites Sycorax and Caliban. We derive colours, showing that Sycorax is bluer than Caliban. Our data allows us to detect a significant variability in the Caliban’s light-curve, which suggests an estimated period of about 3 hours. Despite it is the brighter of the two bodies, Sycorax does not display a strong statistically sig...
