Entropy-constrained vector quantization (ECVQ) offers substantially improved image quality over vector quantization (VQ) at the cost of additional encoding complexity. We extend results in the literature for fast nearest neighbor search of VQ to ECVQ. We use a new, easily computed distance that successfully eliminates most codewords from consideration.

The Soft Error Rate (SER) is expressed as Failure-in-Time (FIT) units, defined as one soft error occurrence every billion hours of operation.Often SEUmitigation is not required because of the low chance of occurrence. However, for highly complex systems, such as with multiple high-density components, error rate may be a significant system design factor. If your system includes multiple FPGAS an...

Abstact. In modern grammars of Slavic languages, syntactically non-segmented word-combinations are not separated into a separate type, but represented in single list different types free word combinations. Today, it is important to understand the place grammatical system language. The purpose paper characterize basis valence word-combination as new type syntactic constructions.. New approaches ...

Single-track circuit codes are circuit codes with codewords of length n such that all the n tracks which correspond to the n distinct coordinates of the codewords are cyclic shifts of the rst track. These codes simul taneously generalise single-track Gray codes and ordinary circuit codes. They are useful in angular quantisation applications in which error detecting and/or correcting capabilitie...

A central concern of generative grammar is the relationship between hierarchy and word order, traditionally understood as two dimensions of a single syntactic representation. A related concern is directionality in the grammar. Traditional approaches posit process-neutral grammars, embodying knowledge of language, put to use with infinite facility both for production and comprehension. This has ...

Objective: The aims of the present study was to develop and validate a quick repetition test using familiar, culture-based words for the assessment of the Farsi speaking children suffering from Speech Sound Disorders (SSD). Method: The study population was divided into two groups, including 419 participants without any clinical signs of speech impairment and 36 cases with SSD. Psychometric pro...

Recent functional imaging studies have referred to a posterior region of the left midfusiform gyrus as the "visual word form area" (VWFA). We review the evidence for this claim and argue that neither the neuropsychological nor neuroimaging data are consistent with a cortical region specialized for visual word form representations. Specifically, there are no reported cases of pure alexia who hav...

We examined whether word recognition accuracy and latency of words children encounter during primary school across the upper grades can be predicted from form (word length, mean Levenshtein distance, frequency neighbors), meaning (free association network markers) exposure (corpus contextual diversity). As a measure recognition, 1454 (M = 10.1 years, SD 11.8 months, 52.4% girls) in grade 3, 4 5...
