The purpose of this study was to compare the parameters of perioperative course and cost-effectiveness for patients with midshaft clavicle fractures treated by dynamic compression plates or locked compression plates.This retrospective, case-controlled study involved 54 patients with midshaft clavicle fractures who received dynamic compression plates (n=21) or locked compression plates (n=33) be...

Image Compression is the application of Data Compression on digital image. The techniques used for the image compression are broadly divided into lossy and lossless compression techniques. One of the lossless compression techniques is Huffman encoding. In this paper, the new method MH Encoding (Median Filter + Huffman Encoding) is used to compress the images. Here the images are preprocessed us...

A level-embedded lossless compression method for continuoustone still images is presented. Level (bit-plane) scalability is achieved by separating the image into two layers before compression and excellent compression performance is obtained by exploiting both spatial and inter-level correlations. A comparison of the proposed scheme with a number of scalable and non-scalable lossless image comp...
