MPEG-Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) provides formats that are suitable to stream media content over HTTP. Typically, the DASH client adaptively requests small chunks of media based on the available bandwidth ...

HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) is receiving much attention from both industry and academia as it has become the de facto approach to stream media content over the Internet. Recently, we proposed a streaming architecture ...

Accounting for social network effects in marketing strategies has become an important issue. Taking a step back, we seek to incorporate and analyze social network effects on new product development and then propose a model ...

In this work, the masses of the ground states coupling to molecular or tetraquark currents with JPC = 0++, 1++, 2++ are studied to investigate the structure of X(4140) exotic meson observed at J/ψφ invariant mass spectrum. ...

We report a capacitance tracking method for achieving arbitrary polarization rotation from nematic liquid crystals. By locking to the unique capacitance associated with the molecular orientation, any polarization rotation ...

We rigorously establish that, in the long-wave regime characterized by the assumptions of long wavelength and small amplitude, bidirectional solutions of the improved Boussinesq equation tend to associated solutions of two ...

This study focused on the dependency of the flame location of a premixed propane-air flame on turbulence intensity and length scale. The flame location was investigated using a diffuser-type combustor to show the response ...

In the present work, high-speed visualizations at one million frames/s have been used to study the oscillation characteristics of acoustic cavitation bubbles. The bubbles are generated by acoustic cavitation using an ...

Two new coordination polymers (CPs) – [Zn(µ4-ppda)(µ-abpy)0.5]n(1) and [Cd(μ3-opda)(µ-abpy)0.5(H2O)]n(2) (o/ppda = 1,2/1,4-phenylenediacetate, abpy = 4,4′-azobis(pyridine)) – have been synthesized by using Zn(II)/Cd(II) ...

A new coordination polymer {[Zn(μ3-ppda)(H2O)(μ-bpa)Zn(μ-ppda)(μ-bpa)]·4H2O}n (1) (ppda = 1,4-phenylenediacetate, bpa = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane) has been synthesized by microwave-assisted reaction and characterized by ...
