Frame erasure (FE) robustness is an important quality measure for voice over IP networks (VoIP). Recovery of the erased frames from the received information is crucial to realize this robustness. We allow the lost frames to be recovered from both the “previous” and “next” good frames. We first give quantitative distortion comparisons between predictive and interpolative frame recovery. Then we ...

There are two established ways to introduce geometric control in the category of free modules—the bounded control and the continuous control at infinity. Both types of control can be generalized to arbitrary modules over a noetherian ring and applied to study algebraic K-theory of infinite groups. This was accomplished for bounded control in part I of the present paper and the subsequent work o...

Need for designing certain important structures to resist blast loads is increasing in the recent past years, due to the enhanced terrorist operations. A bomb explosion can cause very serious damage on the building's external and internal structural frames. Collapse of one structural member in the vicinity of the source of explosion, may then create critical stress redistributions and lead to c...

this paper is a continuation of [uniformities and covering properties for partial frames (i)], in which we make use of the notion of a partial frame, which is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. after presenting there our axiomatization of partial frames, which we call $sels$-frames, we added structure, in th...

The paper considers the basis and frame properties of the system of weighted exponentials E(g,Z\F ) = {eg(x)}n∈Z\F in L(T), where g ∈ L2(T)\{0} and F ⊂ Z. It is shown that many of the frame properties of E(g,Z\F ) are affected by the cardinalities of F and the behavior of the zeros of g.

Pigeons were tested in a search task on the surface of a monitor on which their responses were registered by a touch-sensitive device. A graphic landmark array was presented consisting of a square outline (the frame) and a colored "landmark." The unmarked goal, pecks at which produced reward, was located near the center of one edge of the frame, and the landmark was near it. The entire array wa...
