This tutorial is about image file formats: what are they, what are they used for, what are their differences and how we choose between them. The tutorial assumes a basic understanding of general digital imaging; of which a quick summary of important features is provided below. Pixel: a digital image is represented as a rectangular grid of dots, where each dot has a specific spatial position and...

This paper reviews the main document formats currently being used in electronic journals and provides a pointer to the formats likely to be prominent in the near future

This paper proposes rule formats for Structural Operational Semantics guaranteeing that certain binary operators are left distributive with respect to a set of binary operators. Examples of left-distributivity laws from the literature are shown to be instances of the provided formats.

librarians are frequently consulted about proper citation formats and support the use of pc-based personal bibliographic citation management programs, such as endnote, often used by faculty and graduate students. recently, free or inexpensive web-based tools have been developed that create citations and format bibliographies. an analysis of citations generated by these programs shows that they ...

We present our recent work on high-speed optical interconnects with advanced modulation formats and directly modulated 850 nm VCSELs. Data transmission at nearly 100 Gbps was achieved with 4-PAM. Forward error correction, equalization and preemphasis are also explored. The system aspects of the advanced modulation formats and their impact on the VCSEL requirements are discussed. Requirements on...

Being an integral part of accelerator software, accelerator description aims to provide an external representation of an accelerator’s internal model and associative effects. As a result, the choice of description formats is driven by the scope of accelerator applications and is usually implemented as a tradeoff between various requirements: completeness and extensibility, user and developer or...

Much of the current discourse in the emerging field of ‘mobile learning’ looks at traditional learning, happening in existing educational institutions. A parallel (and less well understood) tribe of mobile learners are adults at work, using their own, personal technology to access critical information at their moment of need for ‘just in time’ and ‘as and when necessary’ training (Wishart and G...
