用于纹理图像压缩的分形算法的改进

纹理是图像中的重要部分,包含了大量的信息。纹理部分大多数为背景而被人所忽视。针对纹理图像本身很强的自相似形以及分形算法中D块池搜索时间过长和匹配原则过于繁琐的问题,提出了一种结合矢量量化的方法,并对R块和D块采用了一种新的匹配原则。首先对D块池中的D块进行矢量量化处理,优化码书以减少搜索时间。然后提出了一种新的匹配原则IAM(图像活动能量测度)并通过这个参数来配对R块和D块,从而实现分形编码。

针对OFDM系统带来峰均较高的缺点,本文主要改进SLM中最优扰码的选取及不同扰码设计的算法。通过分析与比较不同扰码序列对降低PAPR的效果,得出采用OCML产生的时空混沌具有最佳的扰码效果。同时将改进后的SLM算法与限幅技术联合后能有效地弥补单独使用传统SLM限制PAPR不足,传输边带信息的缺点。仿真结果表明改进型的联合算法相比原始信号的PAPR降低了4.4d B,且不会破坏系统的稳定性。     

卫星信道判决反馈模糊控制多模盲均衡算法

移动卫星通信信道的多普勒效应会产生强烈的发生码间干扰和相位失衡,导致移动通信质量降低。传统方法采用单模判决神经模糊系统对信道进行盲均衡处理,虽然能克服卫星信道的幅度畸变,但无法消除码间干扰和相位偏转畸变。提出一种具有判决反馈结构的模糊控制下多模移动卫星信道盲均衡算法,通过模糊控制自适应调整变量因子抽头系数,保证了算法快速收敛,并纠正了相位偏转,抑制码间干扰。仿真实验表明,采用该算法进行移动卫星通信盲均衡信道优化设计,移动通信质量提高明显。     

多进制LDPC码改进算法研究

x对于二进制LDPC码,多进制LDPC码具有纠错能力更高、抗突发错误能力更强的独特优势,适宜高速率传输,为了解决多进制LDPC译码算法复杂度较高,不利于硬件实现的问题,本文重点对多进制LDPC码的构造、译码、码长及码率等方面进行仿真研究,以期为多进制LDPC码的实用化发展提供设计参考。仿真结果表明:当多进制LDPC码采用BP、FFT-BP和Log-FFT-BP三种不同译码算法时,随着码长增大和码率的下降,编码增益和性能曲线与香农限的距离都会随之而增大,并在牺牲一定的信噪比的情况下,Log-FFT-BP算法能够使多进制LDPC码的硬件复杂度得到较大的改善。

Students' Reactions to the Introduction of Videoconferencing for Classroom Instruction

This study examined how students who had no prior experience with videoconferencing would react to the use of videoconferencing as an instructional medium. Students enrolled in seven different courses completed a questionnaire at the beginning of the semester and again at the end of the semester. Students at the origination and remote sites did not differ in their reactions toward videoconferencing but there was a significant difference for gender. Women reacted less favorably to videoconferencing. Compared to the beginning of the semester, students reported significantly less positive attitudes toward taking a course through videoconferencing at the end of the semester. There were no significant differences in students' attitudes toward videoconferencing across courses at the beginning of the semester but there were significant differences across the courses at the end of the semester. The results suggest the need for better preparation for both students and instructors.

Exploring Multiplexity: Social Network Structures in a Computer-Supported Distance Learning Class

A computer-mediated group is a complex entity whose members exchange many types of information via multiple means of communication in pursuit of goals specific to their environment. Over time, they coordinate technical features of media with locally enacted use to achieve a viable working arrangement. To explore this complex interaction, a case study is presented of the social networks of interactions and media use among members of a class of computer-supported distance learners. Results show how group structures associated with project teams dominated who communicated with whom, about what, and via which media over the term, and how media came to occupy their own communication niches: Webboard for diffuse class-wide communication; Internet Relay Chat more to named others but still for general communication across the class; and e-mail primarily for intrateam communication. Face-to-face interaction, occurring only during a short on-campus session, appears to have had a catalytic effect on social and emotional exchanges. Results suggest the need to structure exchanges to balance class-wide sharing of ideas with subgroup interactions that facilitate project completion, and to provide media that support these two modes of interaction.     

The Role of Intermediating Institutions in the Diffusion of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): How Industry Associations Intervened in Denmark, Finland, and Hong Kong

Electronic data interchange (EDI) provides means for interorganizational communication, creates network externalities, requires an advanced information technology (IT) infrastructure, and relies on standards. In the diffusion of such innovations, institutional involvement is imperative. Such institutions contain governmental agencies, national and global standardization organizations, local government, and nonprofit private organizations like industry associations. The last type of organizations we call intermediating institutions. They intermediate or coordinate ("inscribe") the activities of a group of would-be adopters. Unfortunately, little is known of how these organizations shape the EDI diffusion trajectory. In this article we examine one specific type of intermediating organizations?industry associations?and how they advanced the EDI diffusion process in the grocery sectors of Hong Kong, Denmark and Finland. We identify six institutional measures, placed into a matrix formed by the mode of involvement (influence vs. regulation) and the type of diffusion force (supply push vs. demand pull), that can be mobilized to further the EDI diffusion. Industry associations were found to be active users of all these measures to varying degrees. Their role was critical especially in knowledge building, knowledge deployment, and standard setting. Furthermore, institutional involvement varied due to policy and cultural contingencies and power dependencies.     

How Electronic Publishers are Protecting Against Piracy: Doubts About Technical Systems of Protection

The increasing prospects of digital piracy has prompted the perceived need by electronic publishers to adopt technical systems of protection, and governments to reform their copyright laws. This article is a preliminary study of the management of intellectual property by electronic publishers, defined as those involved in the production of online databases, and CD-ROMs. It focuses on three main issues: (1) how electronic publishers view the increasing threat of piracy; (2) the methods of protection employed to protect intellectual property in digital format; and (3) the importance of technological protection of intellectual property in electronic publications. The analysis is based on a sample of 23 UK electronic publishers. The interviews revealed an interesting assortment of protection methods and did not show that technological protection was a preferred way. Instead, the means of protection, in addition to copyright law, comprised niche markets, pricing, trust, bad publicity, and nontechnical and technical means.     

Rough Justice: A Statistical Assessment of ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy

Long-standing conflict between domain name registrants and trademark holders prompted the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to create a global, mandatory arbitration procedure known as the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The UDRP has been used in 2166 cases involving 3938 domain names as of 1 November 2000. The policy gives the initiator of a complaint, generally a trademark holder, the right to choose which ICANN-accredited dispute resolution service provider (RSP) will handle the case. During the preparation of the UDRP,some feared that complainant selection would lead to "forum shopping" that might bias the results. This article performs a statistical assessment of the forum-shopping thesis and finds support for it. There are statistically significant differences in the various RSPs' propensity to take away names from defendants; there are also major differences in the number of cases brought to each RSP. RSPs who take away names have the larger share of cases. The study examines other variables that might explain differences in market share, such as price, the plaintiff's nationality, or the time taken to decide a case. It finds that nationality and time also are correlated with market share. The study concludes that shopping for a favorable outcome is an important factor in the UDRP.

Monoculture Rubber Plantations Have Negative Ef ects on Controlling Splash Erosion

<正>In Xishuangbanna,one of China’s most biodiverse regions,landscape has changed dramatically during the past three decades due to the conversion of tropical rainforest to rubber plantations.In steep areas,terraces are often constructed before planting rubber trees,which causes two important changes in the soil:the destabilization of soil in the bench terraces and the increased vulnerability of unvegetated riser faces to erosion.Few studies have documented the nature and intensity of erosion on bench terraces.Prof.LIU Wenjie and his colleagues from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden(XTBG)conducted a study in Menglun County(21°5′39″N,101°15′55″E),Xishuangbanna to evaluate the influence
