Analysis of low bit rate image transform coding

Calculations based on high-resolution quantizations prove that the distortion rate D(R¯) of an image transform coding is proportional to 2^-2R when R¯ is large enough. In wavelet and block cosine bases, we show that if R¯<1 bit/pixel, then D(R¯) varies like R¯^1-2γ, where γ remains of the order of 1 for most natural images. The improved performance of embedded codings in wavelet bases is analyzed. At low bit rates, we show that the compression performance of an orthonormal basis depends mostly on its ability to approximate images with a few nonzero vectors     

Cultural adaptation and information design: two contrasting views

Approaches to using visual language in a cultural context can be placed on a continuum, with global (universal) on one end and culture-focused on the other. Each approach reveals contrasting assumptions about three central design issues: perception, aesthetics and pragmatics. The global approach is characterized by attempts to invent an objective, universal visual language or to define such a language through perceptual principles and empirical research. The culture-focused perspective is founded on the principle that visual communication is intimately bound to experience and hence can function only within a given cultural context, to which designers must be sensitive. While the modernist, universal approach has been losing ground to the postmodern, culture-focused approach, the two complement each other in a variety of ways and, depending on the rhetorical situation, offer pragmatic benefits and drawbacks

Optimization of modulation bandwidth in DBR lasers with detunedBragg reflectors

The dynamical behavior of distributed Bragg reflector lasers with detuned Bragg reflectors is investigated theoretically. The model is based on the traveling wave equations, which are solved by expanding the solution in terms of the longitudinal eigenmodes. It is shown that for a drastic enhancement of the modulation bandwidth the interplay of the dominant mode and one side mode has to be enforced. Under these conditions, the modulation bandwidth can be enhanced to more than 70 GHz

Distributed autonomous wireless channel assignment algorithm withpower control

Local autonomous dynamic channel allocation (LADCA) including power control is essential to accommodating the anticipated explosion of demand for wireless. The authors simulate call performance for users accessing channels in a regular cellular array with a base located at the center of each hexagon. The computer model includes stochastic channel demand and a propagation environment characterized by attenuation with distance as well as shadow fading. The study of LADCA shows that distributed power control and channel access can be combined in an access management policy that achieves satisfactory system capacity and provides desired call performance. The authors report: LADCA/power control is observed to be stable alleviating a major concern about users unaware of the signal to interference problems their presence on a channel might cause to others. There can be substantial inadvertent dropping of calls in progress caused by originating calls. Modeling user time dynamics is essential. LADCA contrasts very favorably with fixed channel allocation (FCA) in a comparative example     

Computation of the stability radius of a Schur polynomial: an orthogonal projection approach
