This is important in circadian rhythym characterization. The proper identification of a patient's rhythm is known to be important in clinical treatment. One detrending approach is an ad hoc polynomial fitting strategy, while the other is a modification of the so-called cosinor model where subharmonic terms are added. The latter method is based on the fact that many nonlinear dynamic systems when driven with a sinusoidal input produce an output containing subharmonics of the input. The latter method seems to provide consistently superior performance to the polynomial method.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

The individual 3D beam filters way be realized from a cascade of stable 3D frequency planar filters, each of which corresponds to a passive stable 3D continuous-domain frequency-planar prototype filter.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

The use of ATM-based wireless links may partially address the need of a communications infrastructure capable of meeting the QoS expectations of a wide variety of applications. The deployment of a reliable and efficient multimedia communications services over wireless links face two major constraints: the limited bandwidth availability of wireless links imposes severe constraints to the deployment o advanced multimedia applications. The second constraint refers to the high error channel rates. For these reasons, the effective transmission of video over a wireless channel requires no only the use of compression techniques capable of reducing the bandwidth demands, but also the use of video compression comprising error resilience capabilities. The ISO MPEG-4 video compression standard has been developed to fulfill these two properties. In this paper, we study the effectiveness of the MPEG-4 compression video standard error resilience techniques over a wireless channel.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

Cieza is a town of 30,000 people where the pilot network Ciez@net intends to give these people the opportunity to use the new emerging Internet applications in their daily life. The goal of the traffic analysis tool developed in this project has been to analyse the IP traffic transmitted in the regional network in order to figure out if the use that people make of the network services and infrastructure was worth the economic effort put into the network deployment and operation. The success of this software tool lies in its flexibility, easy handling and interface independence.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

There are many techniques to improve a transmission data stream to archive multimedia data. The adaptive transmission control using smoothed loss is a technique that controls the transmission rate to an appropriate network condition. This paper improves this technique by using a variability smoothing factor which can improve the transmission rate in the whole transmission. Simulations are used to study an adaptive behavior of the adaptive transmission control procedure. The results of experiment shows that a rate adaptive control procedure can increase the transmission rate by using a variability smoothing factor.","PeriodicalId":261724,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.
