Land reclamation - from conventional vertical drain methods to a combined vacuum preloading and electro-osmosis with horizontal drainage enhanced geotextile sheets by Wong, Lung Anthony

“…Based on the results of the miniature tests conducted, a late activation of electro-osmosis results in a better consolidation performance when it is coupled with vacuum preloading. The performance of this combined method has been further tested in a more realistic scale, in which electro-osmosis was activated, while vacuum pressure was maintained, when the average degree of consolidation of the clay slurry reached 70%. …”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…Rate control also ensures that the output bit rate of video stream remains within the capacity of transmission channel. When conventional rate control algorithms perform bit allocation at group of pictures (GOP) level, a fixed GOP size is usually adopted without considering the correlation between frames. …”
