This paper describes a system for speech coding designed to operate at 300 bits/sec and below. A continuous speech recogniser is used to transcribe incoming speech as a sequence of sub-word units termed acoustic segments. Prosodic information is combined with segment identity to form a serial data stream suitable for transmission. A rule-based system maps segment identity and prosodic informati...

abstract background: professional development is reiterated in the new definition of modern organizations as a serious undertaking of organizations. this article aims to present and describe a prescriptive model to increase the quality of professional development of iranian nurses within an organization‑based framework. materials and methods: this article is an outcome of the results of a study...

We explore a video coding algorithm that uses long term memory in addition to motion compensated prediction to build a model from video frames for coding. The long term memory, modeled on the cache used in operating systems and searched by a vector quantization formalism, holds recurring visual elements such as cyclically revealed information and actors that persist though several images. This ...

We analyse the Bennett-Wiesner dense quantum coding scheme for non-maximally entangled carriers of information. Our generalisation shows that the detection scheme proposed by Bennett and Wiesner is optimal even when the entanglement is not perfect. We comment on the optical realisation of the scheme.

People’s demands are escalating with technology advances. Now, people are not happy with only text or voice messages, they like to see video as well. Video transmission through limited bandwidth, for example, an existing telephone line, requires an efficient video coding technique. Unfortunately, existing video coding standards have some limitations due to this demand. Recently, a pattern-based...

This paper serves as a tutorial lecture on the use of network coding to provide resource efficient, and agile proactive protection. Network coding, which was introduced in [1], allows intermediate network nodes to form linear combinations of packets received on different input links. The use of network coding results in capacity enhancement. This capacity enhancement is used to provide protecti...
