The paper presents an architecture for fast mode decision algorithm in H.264/AVC for 4x4 intra-prediction. This algorithm is based on the inherent symmetry existing in the spatial prediction modes. This algorithm gives a faster way of calculating sum of absolute differences (SADs) for all modes of intra prediction. So, a significant computational savings can be achieved. Synthesis results confi...

One of the advantages exercise/physical exercise is improvement cardiovascular health, however if done incorrectly, it can lead to negative side-effects that are detrimental health system. these Sudden Cardiac Death (SDC) or Sprots-related (SrSCD). The purpose this literature review find out cause SrSCD dan how prevent it. This Study finds occurs mostly in athletes aged >35 and majority due ...

Emerging and re-emerging swine coronaviruses (CoVs), including porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), acute syndrome-CoV (SADS-CoV), cause severe in neonatal piglets, CoV infection is associated with significant economic losses for the industry worldwide. Reverse genetics systems realize manipulation of RNA genome facilitate development new vaccines. Thus far, five re...

PURPOSE To develop and investigate a continuous path optimization methodology to traverse prescribed non-coplanar IMRT beams with variant SADs, by orchestrating the couch and gantry movement with zero-collision, minimal patient motion consequence and machine travel time. METHODS We convert the given collision zone definition and the prescribed beam location/angles to a tumor-centric coordinat...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The subtyping of alcohol dependence (AD) into early-onset (EO) and late-onset (LO) subgroups has been shown to have clinical and biological validity. As externalizing disorders (EDs) predate AD, the link of ED with age of onset of alcohol dependence needs to be investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of EDs such as disruptive behaviour disorde...

A previous application of the Brazil SimSmoke tobacco control policy simulation model was used to show the effect of policies implemented between 1989 and 2010 on smoking-attributable deaths (SADs). In this study, we updated and further validated the Brazil SimSmoke model to incorporate policies implemented since 2011 (e.g., a new tax structure with the purpose of increasing revenues/real price...
