An Integrated Network Architecture for a High Speed Distributed Multimedia System.

Computer communication demands for higher bandwidth and smaller delays are increasing rapidly as the march into the twenty-first century gains momentum. These demands are generated by visualization applications which model complex real time phenomena in visual form, electronic document imaging and manipulation, concurrent engineering, on-line databases and multimedia applications which integrate audio, video and data. The convergence of the computer and video worlds is leading to the emergence of a distributed multimedia environment. This research investigates an integrated approach in the design of a high speed computer-video local area network for a distributed multimedia environment. The initial step in providing multimedia services over computer networks is to ensure bandwidth availability for these services. The bandwidth needs based on traffic generated in a distributed multimedia environment is computationally characterized by a model. This model is applied to the real-time problem of designing a backbone for a distributed multimedia environment at the NASA Classroom of the Future Program. The network incorporates legacy LANs and the latest high speed switching technologies. Performance studies have been conducted with different network topologies for various multimedia application scenarios to establish benchmarks for the operation of the network. In these performance studies it has been observed that network topologies play an important role in ensuring that sufficient bandwidth is available for multimedia traffic. After the implementation of the network and the performance studies, it was found that for true quality of service guarantees, some modifications will have to be made in the multimedia operating systems used in client workstations. These modifications would gather knowledge of the channel between source and destination and reserve resources for multimedia communication based on specified requirements. A scheme for reserving resources in a network consisting legacy LAN and ATM is presented to guarantee quality of service for multimedia applications

Space frequency quantization in video compression

The recent explosion in digital video storage and delivery has presented strong motivations for high performance video compression solutions. One second of uncompressed video would require about 30 MB of disk space (30 fps x 921,600 bytes per frame). For today's PCs, 10 MBs per second data throughput rates is considered fast. With the web, we have an even more significant problem. With the current storage devices and the bandwidth available, the only way to share videos is to compress them, and higher the compression the better it is. Over the past decade, the wavelets have been used successfully in solving many difficult problems requiring transform domain processing, including image compression (e.g., JPEG 2000). This thesis is an attempt to use wavelet transform in video compression instead of the traditional discrete cosine transform (DCT)-based technique

AN ANALYSIS TO WOMEN AND CHILD WELFARE DEPARTMENT IN KOLHAPUR DISTRICT

Women and Child Welfare Departments 1991 have been established. In 1993, our government set up an independent department for the development of women and children. The Women and Child Welfare Center in Maharashtra take care of the helpless, sheltherless, dependent, homeless, deaf and dumb and abandoned. Women and nuns (Devdasi) also get help in this project. Through special planning they provide education, training and protection services and rehabilitation facilities. Such problems and solutions are considered in this research. In this research, Kolhapur District Women and Child Welfare Program and its adverse effects have been analyzed with the above objective chosen by the researcher. Among total population of India, half population is of women’s, nation’s development is impossible without their development. Any country in the world can make progress by ignoring the power of women. We cannot make social, economic and political progress of the country without women. Today women have entered every field; they will be given the opportunity to go sour in their field. A number of projects have been launched for this purpose. Women empowerment is done through self-help groups. Before taking their progress in consideration, in the past how where their plight and how they achieve progress this is to be taken account. How these women enter in various fields? The journey of their struggle and plight to be pursuid and studied.</jats:p

Humour in the Shudraka’s Mricchakatika [The Little Clay Cart]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Humour is genuine passion of human being. It releases the pressure and gives free and happy mind-set to the human being. There are numerous things in life that exasperates, frustrates and disappoints the man yet with sprinkle of humour the person become cheerful. The individual who is content with smiling face looks extremely lovely though he/she are loathsome. The sense of humour creates happy atmosphere and helps to illuminate precarious complications. The gratification is the decisive aim of human being.&nbsp; Everyone attempt to live cheerful, for happiness the aspiration fulfillment of the person is indispensable but it cannot be feasible for everyone. It is necessary to be happy with some satisfying wish; here the comical inclination helps the being. Nowadays, humour become very powerless and lost its uniqueness so in the present research an attempt will make to concentrate on the assortments of natural humour in the Shudraka’s Mricchakatika

Primary Extranodal T-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of the Gingiva in a HIV Patient

Since the appearance of AIDS, there has been a significant&nbsp;increase in the number of cases of oral Non-Hodgkin’s&nbsp;Lymphoma (NHL). These lesions may occur in the oral cavity,&nbsp;but rarely appear on the gingiva. Oral HIV-related lymphomas&nbsp;exhibit an aggressive course and can mimic other oral tumors&nbsp;and infections, this can make early recognition difficult but the&nbsp;diagnosis is important. It is now considered that oral NHL’s&nbsp;serves as the first indicator of HIV infection.&nbsp
