The Storage and Retrieval of Continuous Media Data

Continuous media applications, which require a guaranteed transfer rate of the data, are becoming an integral part of daily computational life. However, conventional le systems do not provide rate guarantees, and are therefore not suitable for the storage and retrieval of continuous media data (e.g., audio, video). To meet the demands of these new applications, continuous media le systems, which provide rate guarantees by managing critical storage resources such as memory and disks, must be designed. In this paper, we highlight the issues in the storage and retrieval of continuous media data. We rst present a simple scheme for concurrently retrieving multiple continuous media streams from disks. We then introduce a a clever allocation technique for storing continuous media data that eliminates disk latency and thus, drastically reduces RAM requirements. We present, for video data, schemes for implementing the operations fast-forward, rewind and pause. Finally, we conclude by outlining directions for future research in the storage and retrieval of continuous media data

The Parent Participation Engagement Measure (PPEM): Reliability and Validity in Child and Adolescent Community Mental Health Services

Parent participation in community-based child mental health services is an important yet understudied process associated with treatment effectiveness. This paper describes the development and psychometrics of the Parent Participation Engagement Measure (PPEM) in a sample of 1374 parents and 563 youth receiving publicly-funded mental health services. Analyses indicated excellent internal consistency, and model fit indices/factor loadings supported a one-factor model. Convergent and discriminant validity were supported, although some coefficients were modest in magnitude. Psychometric results were consistent for Caucasian versus Hispanic, parent versus youth, and English versus Spanish-language respondents. The clinical and research utility of this measure are discussed
