|With the success of the Internet and exibility of MPEG-4, transporting MPEG-4 video over the Internet is expected to be an important component of many multimedia applications in the near future. Video applications typically have delay and loss requirements, which cannot be adequately supported by the current Internet. Thus, it is a challenging problem to design an e cient MPEG4 video delivery ...

The distribution of free thiol groups associated with the membrane proteins of the purified pig gastric microsomal vesicles was quantified, and the relation of thiol groups to the function of the gastric (H+ + K+)-transporting ATPase system was investigated. Two different thiol-specific agents, carboxypyridine disulphide (CPDS) and N(1-naphthyl)maleimide (NNM) were used for the study. The struc...

Virtual platform checkpointing is a technology by which the entire state of the software and hardware of an executing system is captured. Checkpoints can be used for many different purposes during software (and hardware) development. Here, we focus on how they are used to transport bugs between bug reporters and developers. Compared to describing the system state and steps needed to reproduce a...

High efficiency orange OLEDs have been achieved using a trifunctional Pt(II) complex that contains an electron-transporting triarylborane and a hole-transporting triarylamine.

â liquefied natural gas (lng) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (ng) over long distances. liquefaction of ng by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...

This paper presents a project that is developing a mobile service robot to assist users in biological and pharmaceutical laboratories by executing routine jobs such as filling and transporting microplates. A preliminary overview of the design of the mobile platform with a robotic arm is provided. Moreover, the approaches to localization and intuitive multimodal human-machine interaction using s...

in today’s competitive transportation systems, passengers search to find traveling agencies that are able to serve them efficiently considering both traveling time and transportation costs. in this paper, we present a new model for the traveling salesman problem with multiple transporters (tspmt). in the proposed model, which is more applicable than the traditional versions, each city has diffe...

The purpose of this Capstone Design Project is to create an improved system for transporting patients from one hospital unit to another for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). This new process is a paperless system that uses computerized forms to communicate between departments, electronic messages to assign tasks to employees, and automatically-generated control charts to monitor the pro...

The hole transporting medium in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells can be utilized to harvest sunlight. Herein we demonstrate that a triphenylamine-based dye, used as hole-transporting medium, contributes to the photocurrent in a squaraine-sensitized solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell. Steady-state photoluminescence measurements have been used to distinguish between electron transfer and...
