The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Multiplexed switched- capacitor filter design with emphasize on crosstalk reduction by Li, Jianer.

“…SWITCHED-CAPACITOR (SC) filtering is a very well established technique for processing signals that are mainly in the audio frequency range. Advantages, such as the insensitivity of response to the unavoidable process fabrication deviations and the possibility of having a digital control over their characteristics, has enable SC to gain popularity in practical IC design [1,2].…”

Multi-description multipath video streaming in wireless ad hoc networks by Xu, Yuanyuan., Zhu, Ce.

“…A heuristic solution of low complexity is developed for the interference-aware multipath routing, by introducing a path metric taking into account intra-flow interference, inter-flow interference, link bandwidth and link “up” probability. The second problem touches on unbalanced-path based joint MD video coding and packet allocation for multiple paths of varying bandwidth and loss probabilities. …”
