Historical information aware unequal error protection of scalable HEVC/H.265 streaming over free space optical channels
No full textFree space optical (FSO) systems are capable of supporting high data rates between fixed points in the context of flawless video communications. Layered video coding facilitates the creation of different-resolution subset layers for variablethroughput transmission scenarios. In this paper, we propose Historical information Aware Unequal Error Protection (HAUEP) for the scalable high efficiency video codec (SHVC) used for streaming over FSO channels. Specifically, the objective function (OF) of the current video frame is designed based on historical information of its dependent frames. By optimizing this OF, specific subset layers may be selected in conjunction with carefully selected forward error correction (FEC) coding rates, where the expected video distortion is minimized and the required bitrate is reduced under the constraint of a specific throughput. Our simulation results show that the proposed system outperforms the traditional equal error protection (EEP) scheme by about 4.5 dB of Eb=N0 at a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 33 dB. From a throughput-oriented perspective, HA-UEP is capable of reducing the throughput to about 30% compared to that of the EEP benchmarker, while achieving an Eb=N0 gain of 4.5 dB

A Study on Luo Zhi Cheng\ue2s Historical narrative poems
No full textLuo Zhi Cheng is an important poet in the field of Taiwanese modern poetry, who is known for distinctive linguistic style and intense creative consciousness that are respected. Based on his powerful imagination and flourishing creativity as two primary advantages, through the mediation of poetry, prose, remarks, and commentaries, he maximally amplifies the implication of literature, and thereby composes himself and enriches the character. Distinguished from the majority of researchers focusing on Luo\ue2s lyric works, this study particularly found a writing context of \ue2avoidance of lyric sensibility\ue2 in Luo\ue2s poems, that is, his series of works historical themes in the form of long poems utilizing narrative skills to exhibit the remarkable consistency between the internality and the externality of the author.
\ue3\ue3This study conducted a comparative investigation of Luo\ue2s poetry work (The Book of Zhuzi) and prose works (Austral Court\ue2s Notandum and The Initiation of Civilization) to build a relatively more multi-faceted \ue2author\ue2s image of Luo Zhi Cheng\ue2 according to the writing of works of historical themes. Using the methodology of narratology, I departed from the internality of the text (the collection of poems) to identify how Luo forms the ideal spectrum of character by shaping historical persons; and meanwhile, I equally departed from the collections of prose to grasp the external information of the texts, and thereby clarified that Luo may treat \ue2writing, individual, and society\ue2 as a process of self-fulfillment. It is the two corresponding identities \ue2poet\ue2 and \ue2the intellectual\ue2 that are the mechanism of his constructing self-justification. Such investigation of the internality and the externality of text confirmed the complex relationships of the sustained \ue2opposition,\ue2 \ue2coexistence,\ue2 and \ue2conflict\ue2 between Luo and his works of historical themes

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of long-term Wai Tan Kung exercise on heart rate (HR), energy expenditure, oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE), heart rate variability and blood pressure. Two different groups of older adults were recruited. One group subjects (n =16; 65.0 ± 4.2 yrs, 163.3 ± 7.3 cm, 63.3 ± 7.3 kg) had been participated at least 10 years of regular Wai Tan Kung exercise (long-term group, LTG), and the other (n = 16; 59.0 ± 3.7 yrs, 162.0 ± 3.9 cm, 65.7 ± 3.6 kg) had been participated as same exercise as LTG but less than one year (short-term group, STG). The results of this study showed that there were significant differences (p < .05) in rest systolic pressure, and HR, energy expenditure, VO2, VE, high frequency power (HFP) and low frequency power (LFP) during exercise between LTG and STG (p < .05). LTG subjects had a significant lower in rest heart rate and blood pressure (p < .05) than STG subjects, and the former also reached higher (p < .05) exercise intensities during exercise testing than the latter. Moreover, there were significant higher heart rate, VO2 and VE during exercise testing for LTG than STG, suggesting that LTG subjects had higher metabolic rate. Additionally, LTG had a higher HFP than STG, suggesting that there was a significant increase in parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous activity during exercise testing for LTG than STG, indicating LTG subjects may prevent from coronary artery disease and improve functions of the heart. It is concluded that older adults participate in regular long-term of Wai Tan Kung exercise have a positive effect on their cardiovascular fitness. Therefore, such kind of exercise may especially fit for older adults.
Key words: oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE), heart rate, heart rate variability, Wai Tan Kung exercise.

No full textM.Phil.Despite the various magnetic orders mediated by superexchange mechanism, the existence of a long range antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling is unknown. In this thesis, we investigate the carrier free long range AFM coupling in four chalcopyrite systems CuInTe₂, CuGaTe₂, AgInTe₂ and AgGaTe₂. Based on DFT calculations, we discovered an intrinsic long range AFM coupling in V doped case. The AFM coupling is mainly due to the p - d coupling and electron redistribution along the interacting chains. The relatively small energy difference between p and d orbitals and the small energy difference between d orbitals of the dopants and that of stepping stone sites can enhance the stability of this AFM configuration. A multi-bands Hubbard model was proposed to provide fundamental understanding to the long range AFM coupling in chalcopyrite diluted magnetic semiconductors(DMS).儘管已知有多種基於超交換原理的磁序，關於長程的反鐵磁作用仍所知甚少。在本論文中我們將考察四個黃酮礦類體系中的無載流子長程反鐵磁作用。基於密度泛函理論，我們發現了釩摻雜條件下的無載流子長程反鐵磁作用。這種作用主要來源於p 和d 軌道的作用以及在此原子鏈上的電子再分佈。p 與d 軌道間以及雜質原子與中間"墊腳石"原子間相對較小的能量差可以幫助穩定反鐵磁構型。我們推導了一個多軌道Hubbard模型來加深對黃銅礦類磁半導體中的長程反鐵磁作用的理解。Gong, Weiyi = 半導體中的本征長程反鐵磁作用 / 龔唯奕.Thesis M.Phil.
