As far as PSNR metric is concerned, there is a performance gap between reigning compression standards and learned compression algorithms. Based on research, we experimented using an accurate entropy model on the learned compression algorithms to determine the rate-distortion performance. In this paper, discretized Gaussian Mixture likelihood is proposed to determine the latent code parameters in order to attain a more flexible and accurate model of entropy. Moreover, we have also enhanced the performance of the work by introducing recent attention modules in the network architecture. Simulation results indicate that when compared with the previously existing techniques using high-resolution and Kodak datasets, the proposed work achieves a higher rate of performance. When MS-SSIM is used for optimization, our work generates a more visually pleasant image.","PeriodicalId":20643,"journal":{"name":"Proposed for presentation at the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit held November 27 - December 4, 2020.","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86895705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wireless stations transmit short beacon frames termed as heartbeat signals. These signals consist of the wireless channel encryption data, Service Set Identifier (SSID) and other credential data. These signals also transmit commands to vacate a channel. The heartbeat interval, timing constraint and domain proxy features are analyzed in this paper. CBSD renunciation and spectrum acquisition is performed with the help of domain proxy based communication. The CBRS-SAS channel allocation algorithm is further investigated. The communication interoperability and network robustness can improved with the introduction of secondary SAS and secondary domain proxy respectively.","PeriodicalId":20643,"journal":{"name":"Proposed for presentation at the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit held November 27 - December 4, 2020.","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79791306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed at the general objective to investigate how non-technological food service innovation models create value in restaurants. The specific objective was to establish and explore the relationship between non-technological food service innovation models and value creation. The study used a cross-sectional descriptive survey research design which involved those hotel restaurants in Nairobi County that were registered with the Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) as at 2016. Multistage stratified sampling—as well as purposeful and random sampling techniques—were used with a sample size of 385 respondents. Data collection instruments included questionnaires, interview guide, and observation-checklist, achieving a response rate of 82.9%. The coded data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical data analytical methods. Hypotheses were tested using multinomial regression, t-test and chi-square. Food service innovation model had no significant relationship with value creation in restaurants (p-value of 0.554). The study concludes that there is a need for a systematic procedure/model for developing non-technological food service innovations. To these end the study proposes a new food service innovation model with new variable such as consultation of professionals. This will enable an innovative organizational culture and lead to significant cost savings in the food service industry, among other benefits.","PeriodicalId":20643,"journal":{"name":"Proposed for presentation at the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit held November 27 - December 4, 2020.","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91540832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional survey was done from a sample (n = 100) of female participants. A biographical questionnaire and The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were administered. Significant relationships were found on the vigour, dedication and absorption subscales. FoH female employees younger than 35, those with tertiary education and those without life partners displayed higher levels of wellbeing. Therefore work engagement levels vary with regards to age, marital and educational status. Human resource specialists for hotels could measure work engagement and apply it through in-house policies and supportive practices as well as defend these practices regarding their FOH female employees as female employees are the majority of employees within the hospitality industry. The workforce in South Africa is characterized by demographic diversity. The variances of work engagement are imperative as it enhances the guest experience and improves productivity and ultimately increases financial turnover for the hotels who operate in a very competitive market.","PeriodicalId":20643,"journal":{"name":"Proposed for presentation at the 2020 Virtual MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit held November 27 - December 4, 2020.","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88590720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
