Real-Time Digital Speech Transmission Over The Internet, Angelos Angelopoulos
Real-Time Digital Speech Transmission Over The Internet, Angelos Angelopoulos
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This thesis describes a complete system for real-time digital speech communication over the Internet. A digital speech compressor is described, and a new real-time Internet protocol is designed. We focus on the mathematical representation of the system as well as its implementation providing pseudo-code routines for all components and algorithms. Our contribution stands in a combined solution to the problem that removes undesired properties, such as speech clipping and delay, that appeared in Internet real-time communication systems implemented in the past.
Media Convergence, Obscenity Law And The Internet, Lynette Lim
Media Convergence, Obscenity Law And The Internet, Lynette Lim
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Digitization and innovation in technology has resulted in a climate of media convergence. Media convergence occurs when elements of previously distinctly separate media forms co-mingle to create new capabilities. Although there is no such thing as complete convergence as of yet, there is probably the closest thing to a purely converged medium. Any user is able to access a variety of text, hypertext, graphic, audio and video files online. However, it is also because of media convergence that makes the Internet difficult to regulate. Laws that were proposed to provide some form of legal control to the access of online …
Aids Coalition To Unleash Power: Changing Through Movement, Leadership, And Internet Capabilities, Kendra Mary Blythin
Aids Coalition To Unleash Power: Changing Through Movement, Leadership, And Internet Capabilities, Kendra Mary Blythin
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The examination of AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) past and present shows a vivid and often extreme organization, branching from Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC). Both groups were formed by Larry Kramer, who has played a large role in the gay liberation movement in the United States. This study provides a map of the decline of ACT UP with regards to the decline in public fear of AIDS, the resulting decline in public interest, and the ineffective leadership strategies of Larry Kramer. In addition, this study offers a hypothesis for better exposure; a possible symbiotic effect between the …
Qos-Based Multipath Routing For The Internet, Bing Chen
Qos-Based Multipath Routing For The Internet, Bing Chen
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The new generation of network services is being developed for incorporation in communication infrastructure. These services, generally called Quality of Services (QoS), should accommodate data file, video, and audio applications. The different performance requirements of these applications necessitate a re-examination of the main architectural components of today's networks, which were designed to support traditional data applications. Routing, which determines the sequence of network nodes a packet traverses between source and destination, is one such component. Here, we examine the potential routing problems in future Internet and discuss the advantages of class-based multi-path routing methods. The result is a new approach …
