In this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (RCA) for variable bit rate (VBR) videoapplications. The proposed RCA provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.By controlling the quantization parameter (QP) on a picturebasis, it produces VBR video bit streams. The proposed RCAhas been implemented on the JM H.264/AVC video codec andth...

There has been significant recent work on the theory and application of randomized coordinate descent algorithms, beginning with the work of Nesterov [SIAM J. Optim., 22(2), 2012 ], who showed that a random-coordinate selection rule achieves the same convergence rate as the Gauss-Southwell selection rule. This result suggests that we should never use the Gauss-Southwell rule, because it is typi...

in order to evaluate the impact of different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on growth and yield of two forage sorghum cultivars, a 2-year field experiment was carried out at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran during 2010 and 2011 growing seasons. two factorial experiments were carried out in randomized block design with three replicates, in which the treatments included...

in order  to study the effect of drought stress on some growth indices of oil sunflower cultivars, a study was conducted in isfahan. the experiment was conducted as split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in isfahan (51° 48' e, 32° 40' n).main plots were drought stress in four levels (80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan class a and cultiv...

convertibility is an important factor in international trade where instruments valued in different currencies will be exchanged. convertibility can be either total manner or a partial manner. however, whatever the type of convertibility, there will be advantages and disadvantages to  the economy of a country of which has  made a convertibility of its national currency. convertibility was studie...
