Data sources over the Web publish their query interfaces through forms or templates. Over time, the set of templates supported by a source changes due to new requirements or enhanced query-processing capabilities. When a new template is being considered for a source, it is important to verify whether the new template is redundant with respect to the existing set of templates being supported. Th...

Exploiting the residual redundancy in a source coder output stream during the decoding process has been proven to be a bandwidth efficient way to combat the noisy channel degradations. Researchers have recently developed techniques to employ this redundancy to either assist the channel decoder for improved performance or design better source decoders. However, the method used for modeling the r...

The planar and axisymmetric variable-density flows induced in a quiescent gas by a concentrated source of momentum that is simultaneously either a source or a sink of energy are investigated for application to the description of the velocity and temperature far fields in laminar gaseous jets with either large or small values of the initial jet-to-ambient temperature ratio. The source fluxes of ...
