CONTENT ADAPTIVE LAGRANGE MULTIPLIER SELECTION FOR RATE-DISTORTION OPTIMIZATION IN 3-D WAVELET-BASED SCALABLE VIDEO CODING

Content Adaptive Lagrange Multiplier Selection for Rate-Distortion Optimization in 3-D Wavelet-Based Scalable Video Coding

Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) plays an essential role in substantially enhancing the Watch coding efficiency.Currently, rate-distortion optimized mode decision is widely used in scalable video coding (SVC).Among all the possible coding modes, it aims to select the one which has the best trade-off between bitrate and compression distortion.Spec

Characterization of a new full length TMPRSS3 isoform and identification of mutant alleles responsible for nonsyndromic recessive deafness in Newfoundland and Pakistan

Abstract Background Mutant alleles of TMPRSS3 are associated with nonsyndromic recessive deafness (DFNB8/B10).TMPRSS3 encodes a predicted secreted serine protease, although the deduced #leather-stockmans-breastplate. amino acid sequence has no signal peptide.In this study, we searched for mutant alleles of TMPRSS3 in families from Pakistan and Newf
