An examination of block motion compensation algorithms for MPEG-2 and prediction of bit rates from video sequence measurements by Francis, Jerome Jonathan

“…An optimum motion compensation algorithm can lead to optimum temporal compression. For fixed bit-rate encoders finding methods to predict the bit-rate from properties of the video sequence can lead to an optimum use of the transmission bandwidth. …”

South Africa awaits a possible new law banning foreign ownership and restricting domestic ownership of agricultural land: Is this in line with this country's obligations and commit... by Ewers, Jade Güdron

“…It is concluded, for example, that the restriction of the property rights of existing foreign owners of agricultural land in South Africa by restricting their rights to dispose of their land to South Africans only – may constitute indirect expropriation for which they should be compensated in terms of relevant BITs. Although the country's investment policy vis a vis BIT has changed leading to the termination of, for example, some European-South African BITs, these agreements all contain sunset clauses opening up the country for potential investor-state arbitration claims for up to 20 years. …”

Efficient radio resource management in next generation wireless networks by Obayiuwana, Enoruwa

“…However, due to path loss (path attenuation), interference, and radio background noise, mobile communication users at the cell-edge can experience relatively poor transmission channel qualities and subsequently forced to transmit at a low bit transmission rate, even when the wireless communication networks can support high bit transmission rate. …”

Investigating the Optical Link Performance of the End-of Substructure Card and Susceptibility to SEUs by Van, Der Merwe Max

“…The SEU susceptibility of the EoS card, with a focus on the Versatile Link Plus Transceiver (VTRx+) component, is studied by irradiating the EoS card with a neutron source with a distributed energy spectrum and a peak energy of 11MeV while performing a bit error rate (BER) test to monitor for radiation induced errors. …”
