Multiple description (MD) video coding can be used to reduce the detrimental effects caused by transmission over lossy packet networks. Each approach to MD coding consists of a tradeoff between compression efficiency and error resilience. How effectively each method achieves this tradeoff depends on the network conditions as well as on the characteristics of the video itself. This paper propose...

GCC has no formal addressing mode selection mechanism. It uses target hooks to generate valid addressing modes for a target. However, a significant amount of high level information is destroyed while doing this, especially for targets lacking a rich set of addressing modes. This leads to poor aliasing, and subsequently poorer CSE, GCSE, and scheduling. Hence, an unoptimal object code. This pape...

This paper reports on the development of an innovative agent-mediated electronic marketplace, which is able to efficiently handle transportation transactions of various types. Software agents of the proposed system represent and act for any user involved in a transportation scenario, while they cooperate and get the related information in real-time mode. Our overall approach aims at the develop...

One of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. In this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. The purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of key production facilities of a system in which not only it observes ...

Considerably less research has been done on modeling freight demand with disaggregate discrete models than on modeling passenger demand. The principal reason for this imbalance is the lack of freight demand data. Freight demand characteristics are expensive to obtain and are sometimes confidential. This paper analyzes the freight demand characteristics that drive modal choice by means of a larg...

This paper presents community mobility trends by driving status among people with disabilities and senior citizens in New Delhi, India. Key factors in the study include frequency leaving the home, using transportation, and traveling to common locations in the community. Study participants self-reported experiences as drivers or transportation users by questionnaire. Responses showed a limit to ...

Bus transportation is the most convenient and cheapest way of public transportation in Indian cities. Due to costeffectiveness and wide reachability, buses bring people to their destinations every day. Although the bus transportation has numerous advantages over other ways of public transportation, this mode of transportation also poses a serious threat of spreading contagious diseases througho...
