Motion-Compensating Long-Term Memory Prediction, Thomas Wiegand, Xiaozheng Zhang, Bernd Girod Oct 1997

Motion-Compensating Long-Term Memory Prediction, Thomas Wiegand, Xiaozheng Zhang, Bernd Girod

Electrical Engineering

Motion-compensating long-term memory prediction extends the spatial displacement utilized in block-based hybrid video coding by a variable time delay permitting the use of more frames than the previously decoded one for motion compensation. The long-term memory covers the decoded frames of some seconds at encoder and decoder. We investigate the influence of memory size in our motion compensation scheme and analyze the trade-off between the bit-rates spent for motion compensated prediction and residual coding. Simulation results are obtained by integrating long-term memory prediction into an H.263 codec. PSNR improvements up to 2 dB for the Foreman sequence and 1.5 dB …

The Impact Of Multimedia Training On Mental Models Of Simple Processes, Johnny L. Washington, Erika Rogers Oct 1997

The Impact Of Multimedia Training On Mental Models Of Simple Processes, Johnny L. Washington, Erika Rogers

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The purpose of this paper is to describe work in progress on a project which is designed to study how multimedia training may impact people’s mental models of sample processes. A tutorial is under development which helps people learn how to construct an abstract model of the steps needed to produce a letter on a typewriter, and how to change this model when the task moues to a computerized setting. Subjects have been recruited to participate in this study, and the current status of the project is discussed.

Determination Of The Preexponential Frequency Factor For Superparamagnetic Maghemite Particles In Magnetoferritin, Bruce M. Moskowitz, Richard B. Frankel, Sarah A. Walton, Dominic P. E. Dickson, K. K. W. Wong, T. Douglas, Stephen Mann Oct 1997

Determination Of The Preexponential Frequency Factor For Superparamagnetic Maghemite Particles In Magnetoferritin, Bruce M. Moskowitz, Richard B. Frankel, Sarah A. Walton, Dominic P. E. Dickson, K. K. W. Wong, T. Douglas, Stephen Mann

Physics

Magnetization and Mössbauer measurements on maghemite particles with an average particle diameter of 10 nm have been made in the temperature range from 5 K to 353 K spanning the superparamagnetic (SPM) and stable single domain (SD) regimes. The maghemite particles were produced within the iron-storage protein ferritin, resulting in a narrowly-sized, weakly interacting nanocomposite material called magnetoferritin. Experiments combining hysteresis measurements, low temperature remanence, and Mössbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize magnetoferritin and to provide experimental estimates of (1) the pre-exponential frequency factor ƒ0 in the Néel-Arhennius relaxation equation; (2) the SPM threshold size at room temperature for …

Block-Based Hybrid Video Coding Using Motion-Compensated Long-Term Memory Prediction, Thomas Wiegand, Xiaozheng Zhang, Bernd Girod Sep 1997

Block-Based Hybrid Video Coding Using Motion-Compensated Long-Term Memory Prediction, Thomas Wiegand, Xiaozheng Zhang, Bernd Girod

Electrical Engineering

Our new approach extends the spatial displacement vector utilized in block-based hybrid video coding by a variable time delay permitting the use of more frames than the previously decoded one for motion compensation. The longterm memory covers the decoded frames of some seconds at the encoder's as well as the decoder's side. This scheme is well suited in cases of repetition in the sequence, e.g. a head is rotating back into its old position, or if the camera is shaking. However, transmission of the variable time delay requires additional bit-rate which may be prohibitive when the size of the long-term …


Dry Weight Production And Nitrogen Efficiency Traits In Kentucky Bluegrass Cultivars In Nutrient Solution And Soil, Anthony F. Bertauski, John M. Swiader, David J. Wehner Sep 1997

Dry Weight Production And Nitrogen Efficiency Traits In Kentucky Bluegrass Cultivars In Nutrient Solution And Soil, Anthony F. Bertauski, John M. Swiader, David J. Wehner

Office of the Dean (CAFES) Scholarship

Because of the importance of such factors as appearance and vigor in turf management, genetic selection of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is often conducted at high levels of N application. This process can mask potential differences between genotypes in N efficiency, especially under low N levels. The case is also made that because soil is the medium in which plant selections ultimately must perform, cultivar screening for N efficiency in solution culture should relate to results in soil. This study was conducted to evaluate N-utilization efficiency (NUE – mg plant dry matter mg-1 plant N) in six …


Field Evaluation Of Ultrasonic Method For Assessing Well Seals, Nazli Yesiller, Craig H. Benson, Tuncer B. Edil Aug 1997

Field Evaluation Of Ultrasonic Method For Assessing Well Seals, Nazli Yesiller, Craig H. Benson, Tuncer B. Edil

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Field tests were conducted in three boreholes using an ultrasonic testing method to evaluate its ability to assess contact between the seal and riser (casing). The ultrasonic method is used inside the riser without disturbing the riser, seal, or formation soil. The risers were 50-mm-diameter (2-inch) Schedule 40 steel pipes that are used for ground water monitoring wells. Different types of seals were placed around the risers and defects were purposely introduced in the seals to test the ultrasonic method. The ultrasonic response changed as the neat-cement seals cured or hydration of the bentonite seals changed. When adequate moisture was …

Model Of Flexural Fatigue Damage Accumulation For Cortical Bone, L. V. Griffin, J. C. Gibeling, R. B. Martin, V. A. Gibson, S. M. Stover Jul 1997

Model Of Flexural Fatigue Damage Accumulation For Cortical Bone, L. V. Griffin, J. C. Gibeling, R. B. Martin, V. A. Gibson, S. M. Stover

Biomedical Engineering

Analytical models that predict modulus degradation in cortical bone subjected to uniaxial fatigue loading in tension and compression are presented. On the basis of experimental observations, damage was modeled as self-limiting for tension but not for compression. These mechanistic uniaxial damage models were then developed into a model for flexural fatigue of cortical bone based on laminated beam theory. The unknown coefficients in the uniaxial damage models were obtained by successfully fitting the resulting equations to uniaxial fatigue data from the literature on human cortical bone in tension and compression. Then, the predictions of the flexural model for the behavior …
