Fully spatial and SNR scalable, SPIHT-based image coding for transmission over heterogenous networks
This paper presents a fully scalable image coding scheme based on the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm. The proposed algorithm, called fully scalable SPIHT (FS-SPIHT), adds the spatial scalability feature to the SPIHT algorithm ...

Targeting non-coding RNAs for the treatment of retinal diseases
Maintaining visual function is key to establishing improved longevity. However, the numbers of patients with diseases of the retina, the most important tissue for vision and the key to age-related blindness, are not declining due to the increase in the ...

Behind the scenes: How RNA orchestrates the epigenetic regulation of gene expression
Non-coding DNA accounts for approximately 98.5% of the human genome. Once labeled as “junk DNA”, this portion of the genome has undergone a progressive re-evaluation and it is now clear that some of its transcriptional products, belonging to the non ...

Block-Based Adaptive Vector Lifting Schemes for Multichannel Image Coding
We are interested in lossless and progressive coding of multispectral images. To this respect, nonseparable vector lifting schemes are used in order to exploit simultaneously the spatial and the interchannel similarities.

Background In addition to DNA, gametes contribute epigenetic information in the form of histones and non-coding RNA. Epigenetic programs often respond to stressful environmental conditions and provide a heritable history of ancestral stress that allows ...

Capital, I argue in ‘The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality’, is coded in law.1 Legal coding is a process that adapts and molds formal law over time, often without explicit ex ante sanctioning by a legislature or a court.

Deciphering the “Collagen code” in tumor progression
Invasion and metastasis are the fundamental properties of tumor biology and the root causes of cancer death. With the elucidation of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, it has been postulated that cancer is a disease of imbalance.

An Adaptive Source-Channel Coding with Feedback for Progressive Transmission of Medical Images
A novel adaptive source-channel coding with feedback for progressive transmission of medical images is proposed here. In the source coding part, the transmission starts from the region of interest (RoI).

On the Optimal Progressivity of the Income Tax Code [PDF]
This paper computes the optimal progressivity of the income tax code in a dynamic general equilibrium model with household heterogeneity in which uninsurable labor pro- ductivity risk gives rise to a nontrivial income and wealth distribution. A progressive tax system serves as a partial substitute for missing insurance markets and enhances an equal ...
