Digital Video Concepts, Methods, and Metrics: Quality, Compression, Performance, and Power Trade-off Analysis
by Shahriar AkramullahDigital Video Concepts, Methods, and Metrics: Quality, Compression, Performance, and Power Trade-off Analysis is a concise reference for professionals in a wide range of applications and vocations. It focuses on giving the reader mastery over the concepts, methods and metrics of digital video coding, so that readers have sufficient understanding to choose and tune coding parameters for optimum results that would suit their particular needs for quality, compression, speed and power. The practical aspects are many: Uploading video to the Internet is only the beginning of a trend where a consumer controls video quality and speed by trading off various other factors. Open source and proprietary applications such as video e-mail, private party content generation, editing and archiving, and cloud asset management would give further control to the end-user. Digital video is frequently compressed and coded for easier storage and transmission. This process involves visual quality loss due to typical data compression techniques and requires use of high performance computing systems. A careful balance between the amount of compression, the visual quality loss and the coding speed is necessary to keep the total system cost down, while delivering a good user experience for various video applications. At the same time, power consumption optimizations are also essential to get the job done on inexpensive consumer platforms. Trade-offs can be made among these factors, and relevant considerations are particularly important in resource-constrained low power devices. To better understand the trade-offs this book discusses a comprehensive set of engineering principles, strategies, methods and metrics. It also exposes readers to approaches on how to differentiate and rank video coding solutions. What you'll learn Cost-benefit analysis of compression techniques Video quality metrics evaluation Performance and power optimization and measurement Trade-off analysis among power, performance, and visual quality Emerging uses and applications of video technologies Who this book is for This book is for anyone involved in designing, developing, validating, deploying, and reviewing systems and applications that deal with digital video. For example, software and hardware engineers, system architects, technical program and product managers, support and sales engineers, system integrators, technology journalists and video professionals working in the multimedia and telecommunication industries, researchers and graduate students, or even a tech-savvy user who posts a YouTube video would find this book a useful reference.

Auf städtischer Ebene werden die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Gebäuden, städtischen Rahmenbedingungen und Infrastruktur erläutert und anhand von Beispielen aufgezeigt. Mit dem City Energy Analyst wird ein Werkzeug vorgestellt, mit dem Energieströme in Quartieren unter Berücksichtigung passiver und aktiver Ansätze simuliert und Strategien zur Dekarbonisierung entwickelt werden können.
Digitalia: Architecture and the Digital, the Environmental and the Avant-Garde
by Susannah HaganSusannah Hagan boldly discusses the fraught relationship between key dominating areas of architectural discourse - digital design, environmental design, and avant-garde design.Digitalia firstly demonstrates that drawing such firm lines between architectural spheres is damaging and foolish, particularly as both environmental and avant-garde practices are experimenting with the digital, and secondly remonstrates with an avant-garde that has repudiated the social/ethical agenda of the modernist avant-garde because it failed the first time round. It is environmental architecture that has picked up the social/ethical ball and is running with it, using the digital to very different, and more far-reaching, ends.As the debates rage, this book is a key read for all who are involved or intrigued.

Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America
by Chris Arnade"A profound book.... It will break your heart but also leave you with hope." --J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy"[A] deeply empathetic book." --The EconomistWith stark photo essays and unforgettable true stories, Chris Arnade cuts through "expert" pontification on inequality, addiction, and poverty to allow those who have been left behind to define themselves on their own terms.After abandoning his Wall Street career, Chris Arnade decided to document poverty and addiction in the Bronx. He began interviewing, photographing, and becoming close friends with homeless addicts, and spent hours in drug dens and McDonald's. Then he started driving across America to see how the rest of the country compared. He found the same types of stories everywhere, across lines of race, ethnicity, religion, and geography. The people he got to know, from Alabama and California to Maine and Nevada, gave Arnade a new respect for the dignity and resilience of what he calls America's Back Row--those who lack the credentials and advantages of the so-called meritocratic upper class. The strivers in the Front Row, with their advanced degrees and upward mobility, see the Back Row's values as worthless. They scorn anyone who stays in a dying town or city as foolish, and mock anyone who clings to religion or tradition as naïve.As Takeesha, a woman in the Bronx, told Arnade, she wants to be seen she sees herself: "a prostitute, a mother of six, and a child of God." This book is his attempt to help the rest of us truly see, hear, and respect millions of people who've been left behind.

With contributions from leading academics and expert practitioners, this book provides readers with diverse international case studies which highlight and examine the concrete challenges of practicing sustainable urban development. The examples in this book touch upon all aspects of sustainable urban development work, from City Hall to the local park. All of the cases unfold in their own specific contexts under particular circumstances—but from each one of them there are general lessons that can be used to inform practice. This book is essential reading for anyone who is active as a student, researcher, or practitioner in the field of urban development.
Dillon and Silverthorne
by Roy GoodliffeLake Dillon sits at almost 2 miles high in the Rocky Mountains. The dam and reservoir that produced this Summit County resort, along with Dillon Village on its shore and the town of Silverthorne just below it, are collectively one of Colorado's winter-summer fun destinations. Dillon Dam is 5,288 feet long by 231 feet high, creating a large freshwater source for the city of Denver, as well as 25 miles of scenic shoreline. The dam stores 85.5 billion gallons of water from the Snake and Blue Rivers and Ten Mile Creek. On cue, these waters rush eastward to the South Platte River Basin through the Transmontane Project, or Roberts Tunnel--augered hundreds of feet under the Continental Divide in one of the West's most controversial water relocation epics. Today Dillon, Silverthorne, and the Blue River Basin on Colorado's western slope see their share of sailboating, snow and Nordic skiing, windsurfing, and snowboarding.
Dime tres palabras
by Miki NuñezEmotivos y originales relatos escritos por Miki Núñez con un punto en común entre ellos: tres palabras aleatorias que hilan cada historia. «Esto quiere ser un libro feliz. Igual que yo. Puesto que esa es mi única meta en la vida. Así que dejaremos este pequeño prólogo de lado y os recomendaré algo. Cuando veas que alguien tiene miedo, míralo y dile: "Dime tres palabras". Y con esas tres palabras haz que se olvide de todo lo que ocurre a su alrededor, de los deberes, de los porqués, de los problemas... Que solo existan esas tres palabras y la historia que os inventéis alrededor de ellas. ¿Cómo lo sé? Porque lo he probado muchas veces y en este libro os lo voy a demostrar. Y sobre todo por ella. Por mi madre. Que me salvaba cada noche cuando entraba a mi habitación y me veía horrorizado y preocupado por todo. Se me acercaba y me susurraba: "¿Qué? ¿Me dices tres palabras...?".»
