The broadband integrated services digital networks (B-ISDN) based on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology can support
a wide range of applications such as voice, video, still images, and data. Compression techniques increase the effective bandwidth
utilization, but the bursty and asynchronous nature of the traffic can still lead to congestion in the network, and degradation
of image quality and quality of service (QOS). Some of the features to provide better coding schemes for ATM networks are
layered coding, resynchronization, buffering, interleaved schemes, constrained bit rate due to buffers, encapsulation with
the RTP or AAL1 for clock recovery, lapped transforms, motion compensation, and optimal bit allocation for coders based on
wavelet transforms. We review various techniques forimage and video coding such as transforms, motion compensation, vector
quantization, and subband coding. We outline the impact of the cell loss ratio (CLR), delay and cell delay variation (CDV)
on video coding: blocking effects, loss of frame synchronization, motion vectors, and vector quantization codewords. The open
problems include tuning coding parameters to the available QOS provided by the network. 相似文献
During the winter of 1988/1989, the relationships between the prevalence of work-related health and indoor climate complaints and a number of building, management, workplace and personal characteristics have been investigated in a study in more than 60 office buildings located throughout the Netherlands. To collect the information, a questionnaire was prepared on health and indoor climate complaints and personal and workplace characteristics. A checklist was used to obtain information on building characteristics More than 7000 questionnaires were completed by the regular users of the buildings investigated. The results showed that the prevalence of symptoms was higher in air-conditioned buildings than in naturally or mechanically ventilated buildings. some other variables were also related with most work-related complaints after adjustment for selected management, personal, workplace and job characteristics. These included gender, work satisfaction in general, presence of allergies and/or respiratory symptoms, and personal control over temperature at the workplace. No differences were found in symptom prevalences between buildings with spray and steam humidification. The combination of air-conditioning and humidification did not lead to further increases in the prevalence of complaints as compared to buildings with only airconditioning or only humidification. 相似文献
Istanbul is one of the most famous historical cities in the world. However, the project alignment selected as the best of a range of alignments cannot avoid passing beneath the historical and cultural heritages of Istanbul as well as under ancient and densely inhabited areas of the city. This paper will explain some of the challenges related to the bored tunnels.
Historical buildings are vulnerable. Yet many existing residential and office buildings are old and constructed on minimal foundations. As a consequence, it is vital that any drawdown of groundwater and any ground settlements have to be minimized.
In addition, the connection between the immersed and bored tunnels will be made directly and totally underground, without the usual intermediate shafts and beneath the deep waters of the Bosphorus Strait. This operation needs the utmost control of the tunnel excavation face to ensure its stability and to minimize water ingress. Based on such considerations, tunnel excavation by tunnel boring machine (TBM) using a slurry shield and having the ability to operate under high pore pressures was recommended as the method of excavation for the main running tunnels.
The paper will explain how the design team from Avrasyaconsult – the Employer’s Representative – arrived at the final minimum, specific and functional requirements of the bored tunneling works which are to be carried out using the ‘FIDIC EPC/Turnkey Project’ conditions. 相似文献
