Adaptive streaming based on DASH offers personalized video experience and smooth playback by allowing dynamical adjustments of the bitrate to variations network conditions. This is especially important for current future Internet applications, including emerging ones such as virtual reality-based, adaptive plays a key role in providing high quality viewing experience, limited bandwidth delivery...

Using the Discrete Dipole Approximation we have studied the optical properties of different isolated nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes. We have investigated the main features in the optical spectra, depending of the geometry and size of such nanoparticles. We present and discuss our results in terms of the scattering, extinction and absorption optical coefficients, which can be directly compa...

Diverse Discrete Discriminant Analysis (DDA) models perform differently on different sample observations (Brito et al.(2006)). This fact has encouraged research in combined models for DDA. This research seems to be specially promising when the a priori classes are not well separated or when small or moderate sized samples are considered, which often occurs in practice. In this work we evaluate ...
