    [Verse 1] Over in Killarney, Many years ago, Me Mither sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low, Just a simple little ditty, In her good ould Irish way, And I’d give the world if she could sing That song to me this day. [Chorus] “Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush now, don’t you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, That’s an Irish lullaby.” [Verse 2] Oft, in dreams, I wander To that cot again, I feel her arms a huggin’ me As when she held me then. And I hear her voice a hummin’ To me as in days of yore, When she used to tuck me fast asleep Outside the cabin door. [Chorus

    Analysis of DVB-H network coverage with the application of transmit diversity

    No full text
    This paper investigates the effects of the Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) transmit diversity scheme on DVB-H networks. Transmit diversity improves reception and Quality of Service (QoS) in areas of poor coverage such as sparsely populated or obscured locations. The technique not only povides robust reception in mobile environments thus improving QoS, but it also reduces network costs in terms of the transmit power, number of infrastructure elements, antenna height and the frequency reuse factor over indoor and outdoor environments. In this paper, the benefit and effectiveness of CDD transmit diversity is tackled through simulation results for comparison in several scenarios of coverage in DVB-H networks. The channel model used in the simulations is based on COST207 and a basic radio planning technique is used to illustrate the main principles developed in this paper. The work reported in this paper was supported by the European Commission IST project—PLUTO (Physical Layer DVB Transmission Optimization)

    On the relation between tillering, leaf area dynamics and growth of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perennne L.)

    No full text
    Modern intensively managed grasslands are subject to sward deterioration as a result of urine scorching, treading, winter mortality and late mowing or grazing. The major species in Dutch grasslands is perennial ryegrass. Deterioration consists of a decreasing presence of this species through death of tillers and plant. This gives rise to open swards which are subject to weed invasion and leads to a reduced productivity and nitrogen recovery. The objectives of this study were to increase the understanding of the recovery potential of open perennial ryegrass swards and of the relation between tiller density and herbage accumulation. Tiller production, tiller mortality, leaf area dynamics and growth as affected by cutting treatment, water availability, nitrogen supply and plant density were studied in field, glasshouse and phytotron experiments. The relative tiller appearance rate was studied as the product of leaf appearance rate and site filling. Leaf appearance rate was highly positively correlated with temperature and negatively with cutting height. Cutting frequency had no effect. Leaf appearance rate was reduced by low water potential and low nitrogen supply. Site filling decreased with decreasing nitrogen supply and increasing leaf area index. Just after defoliation, site filling was lower than later after defoliation, because of low substrate availability to developing tiller buds. In studying the effect of low and high nitrogen supply, genetic variation was found in nitrogen use efficiency. Populations with a high nitrogen use efficiency and a high herbage accumulation rate, also had a high leaf weight ratio and high tillering capacity. Models were developed for the simulation of changes in tiller number, leaf area expansion and dry matter accumulation of spaced plants and swards. These models were used for sensitivity analyses of the effect of leaf area expansion rate and leaf weight ratio on regrowth after defoliation and for the analysis of the importance of substrate availability for tillering and regrowth. The field experiments and the sward model showed that even with very low seeding rates, the amount of herbage harvested in the second harvest year is not lower than at very high seeding rates. Therefore, it was concluded that only when a low tiller density coincides with a clumped distribution of tillers and with a high frequency of patches without perennial ryegrass, reseeding of perennial ryegrass swards should be considered

    Organic meat marketing

    No full text
    This chapter discusses the marketing aspect of organic meat. Many factors influence the organic food purchase behavior and these factors are described. With organic meat being sold for high premium prices, the consumers' willingness to pay for these products is an important attribute to determine the potential of these products. Sociodemographic variables of the organic food consumers are described to get an overview of the organic consumer profile

    Enabling error-resilient internet broadcasting using motion compensated spatial partitioning and packet FEC for the dirac video codec

    No full text
    Video transmission over the wireless or wired network require protection from channel errors since compressed video bitstreams are very sensitive to transmission errors because of the use of predictive coding and variable length coding. In this paper, a simple, low complexity and patent free error-resilient coding is proposed. It is based upon the idea of using spatial partitioning on the motion compensated residual frame without employing the transform coefficient coding. The proposed scheme is intended for open source Dirac video codec in order to enable the codec to be used for Internet broadcasting. By partitioning the wavelet transform coefficients of the motion compensated residual frame into groups and independently processing each group using arithmetic coding and Forward Error Correction (FEC), robustness to transmission errors over the packet erasure wired network could be achieved. Using the Rate Compatibles Punctured Code (RCPC) and Turbo Code (TC) as the FEC, the proposed technique provides gracefully decreasing perceptual quality over packet loss rates up to 30%. The PSNR performance is much better when compared with the conventional data partitioning only methods. Simulation results show that the use of multiple partitioning of wavelet coefficient in Dirac can achieve up to 8 dB PSNR gain over its existing un-partitioned method
