partners and the CEOS space agencies. Through CEOP, CEOS will be able to contribute greatly to the understanding and prediction of the water cycle through the integrated use of satellites of CEOS members in cooperation with the IGOS partnership. CEOP represents a unique opportunity to improve the scientific basis needed to achieve overall water cycle documentation and prediction goals. Continue...

The dater equalities constitutes an appropriate tool which allows a linear description of Timed Event Graphs in the field of (max, +) algebra. This paper proposes an equivalent model in the usual algebra which can describe Timed and P-time Event Graphs. Considering 1-periodic behavior, the application of a variant of Farkas’ lemma allows the determination of upper and lower bounds of the produc...

In this paper, we propose a parallel intra-operation unit and a memory architecture for improving the performance of intraprediction, which utilizes spatial correlation in an image to predict the blocks and contains 17 prediction modes in total. The design is targeted for portable devices applying H.264/AVC decoders. For boosting the performance of the proposed design, we adopt a parallel intra...

The solar activity cycle varies in amplitude. last Solar Cycle 24 is the weakest past century. Sun’s dominates Earth’s space environment. frequency and intensity of follow cycle. Hence there are practical needs to know amplitude upcoming 25. Dynamo-based predictions not only provide forecasts, but also offer an effective way evaluate our understanding In this article we apply method first succe...

The presentation concerns forward and backward double linear prediction of speech with a view to the characterization of vocal noise due to voice disorders. Bi-directional double linear prediction consists in a conventional short-term prediction followed by a distal inter-cycle prediction that enables removing inter-cycle correlations owing to voicing. The long-term prediction is performed forw...
