Abstract A lifting-based VLSI architecture for twodimensional discrete wavelet transform (2-D DWT) for 5/3 and 9/7 algorithms, called, pipelined intermediate architecture was proposed by Ibrahim et al., which aim at reducing power consumption of the overlapped external memory access without using the expensive line-buffer. In this paper, we explore parallelism in order to best meet real-time ap...

language has different functions and uses in society and social phenomena in functionalist grammar. so, linguistic phenomena can be studied through this approach. on the basis of functional theory, patterns of experience manifest in form of processes through idealistic meta-functions. accordingly, we can realize the linguisticbehavior of the poet or the writer in world representation studying d...

Missing data is a major issue in many applied problems, especially in the biomedical sciences. We review four common approaches for inference in generalized linear models (GLMs) with missing covariate data: maximum likelihood (ML), multiple imputation (MI), fully Bayesian (FB), and weighted estimating equations (WEEs). There is considerable interest in how these four methodologies are related, ...
