Adaptive Random Sampling for Traffic Volume Measurement
(Springer Science, 2007-02)
Traffic measurement and monitoring are an important component of network management and traffic engineering. With high-speed Internet backbone links, efficient and effective packet sampling techniques for traffic measurement ...
Peak Transform for Efficient Image Representation and Coding
(IEEE, 2007-07)
In this work, we introduce a nonlinear geometric transform, called peak transform (PT), for efficient image representation
and coding. The proposed PT is able to convert
high-frequency signals into low-frequency ones, ...

Law and Heidegger's Question Concerning Technology: A Prolegomenon to Future Law Librarianship
(American Association of Law Libraries, 2007)
Following World War II, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger offered one of the most potent criticisms of technology and modern life. His nightmare is a world whose essence has been reduced to the functional equivalent ...
Angular Distribution of Diffuse Reflectance in Biological Tissue
(The Optical Society of America, 2007-09)
We measured angular-resolved diffuse reflectance in tissue samples of different anisotropic characteristics. Experimental measurements were compared with theoretical results based on the diffusion approximation.
The results ...
