Description of Testing in Wavelet Video Coding

The provided testing scenario is intended to be used for evaluation of the coding performance of the JSVM coding scheme provided by JVT, with respect to the Exploration Wavelet Video Coding platform. The reference conditions have been derived from the JSVM testing conditions document JVT-P205 produced at the 16th JVT meeting in Poznan. Further details on JSVM configuration can be found in such document. The rate points to be used in all tests are derived from the combined scalability test sets. The applicable set of rate points is similar to the rate points originally applied in the Munich and Palma testing conditions. The target rates are arranged in a systematic manner. For each spatio-temporal resolution, the rate triples from the lowest rate point to the highest rate point. The settings are chosen such that an AVC compatible base layer can be provided for the base layer of combined and spatial scalability and for the QCIF sequences in the SNR scalability scenario. The encoder will generate embedded bit-streams. To extract the various bit-rates, frame-rates and resolutions specified in the tables below from the embedded bit-stream, an extractor shall be used. No transcoding is allowed for performing the decoding at the various bit-rates, frame-rates and resolutions. In the combined scalability settings, the testing addresses a broad range scalability and is motivated by the requirements of applications such as surveillance, broadcast and storage systems. This scenario is represented by the test sequences CITY, CREW, HARBOUR and SOCCER. Visual tests shall take place for the rates shown in green in the tables below for each spatial resolution, and for the Palma test at the rate points tested at Palma. PSNR curves will have to be provided for all other rate points

Resonances and adiabatic invariance in classical and quantum scattering theory

We discover that the energy-integral of time-delay is an adiabatic invariant in quantum scattering theory and corresponds classically to the phase space volume. The integral thus found provides a quantization condition for resonances, explaining a series of results recently found in non-relativistic and relativistic regimes. Further, a connection between statistical quantities like quantal resonance-width and classical friction has been established with a classically deterministic quantity, the stability exponent of an adiabatically perturbed periodic orbit. This relation can be employed to estimate the rate of energy dissipation in finite quantum systems.Comment: 8 page

Family Health Promotion: Perawatan Luka Pascakhitan, Metode Konvensional yang Optimal di Wilayah Pontianak Selatan

Circumcision has proven health benefits. Circumcision is a type of acute wound that requires wound care that is free from infection and moist wounds. Parents assume that the circumcision wound will heal by itself and no disease or abnormality will occur. The impact of post-circumcision wounds leading to further health problems can be prevented through parental behavior in caring for post-circumcision wounds. Problems arising from post-circumcision such as phimosis (a condition where the foreskin cannot be pulled back from around the tip of the penis), preventing urinary tract infections, making the penis clean, and reducing the risk of developing penile carcinoma. The purpose of this health promotion is to increase parents' knowledge about post-circumcision wound care in order to provide mental readiness for children who will undergo circumcision. The target of this health promotion is the community in Jalan Wonobaru Gang Madyosari, South Pontianak. The method of implementation this health promotion includes discussion and simulation with the stages of preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The results of this health promotion obtained 77% of participants were able to answer the questions correctly and two participants were able to practice the conventional method of post-circumcision wound care. Health promotion participants revealed that knowing post-circumcision wound care is important to minimize complications.Khitan terbukti memberikan manfaat bagi kesehatan. Khitan adalah jenis luka akut yang memerlukan perawatan luka yang bebas dari infeksi dan luka yang lembab. Orang tua beranggapan luka khitan akan sembuh dengan sendirinya dan tidak akan terjadi penyakit atau kelainan apapun. Dampak dari luka pascakhitan yang mengarah ke masalah kesehatan lebih lanjut dapat dicegah melalui perilaku orang tua dalam merawat luka pascakhitan. Masalah yang timbul akibat pascatindakan khitan seperti phimosis (kondisi dimana kulup tidak bisa ditarik kembali dari sekitar ujung penis), mencegah infeksi saluran kemih, membuat penis menjadi bersih, dan mengurangi resiko terkena karsinoma penis. Tujuan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan orang tua tentang perawatan luka pascakhitan agar mampu memberikan kesiapan mental bagi anak yang akan menjalani khitan. Sasaran PkM ini adalah masyarakat di Jalan Wonobaru Gang Madyosari, Pontianak Selatan. Metode pelaksanaan PkM ini meliputi diskusi dan simulasi dengan tahapan persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Hasil PkM ini diperoleh 77% peserta mampu menjawab pertanyaan tersebut dengan benar, serta dua orang peserta mampu mempraktikkan kembali cara perawatan luka pascakhitan dengan metode konvensional. Peserta PkM mengungkapkan bahwa mengetahui perawatan luka pascakhitan penting guna meminimalkan komplikasinya

Manajemen Stres Akademik pada Remaja dengan Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

One of the causes of stress in adolescents occurs at school.  Academic stress on students due to learning activities such as skipping school, leaving class hours prematurely, arriving late to school, collecting late assignments collected, and quitting school because they are unable to follow the learning in the chosen Department. Academic stress can lead to depression if not treated properly. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) can effectively reduce academic stress, control anxiety, and tension. The purpose of this Community Service (PkM) is to improve students’ knowledge about stress and how to manage stress with Progressive Muscle relaxation (PMR). The target of this PkM is students of Class XII Department of modeling design and Building Information (DPIB) SMKN 01 Sungai Raya, Kubu Raya, West Kalimantan. This PkM implementation method includes stress discussion and simulation of PMR techniques. The evaluation results after students perform PMR simulation obtained 41.2% feel relaxed, 26.5% feel comfortable, 20.6% feel calm, and 11.8% do not feel any change.Penyebab terjadinya stres pada remaja salah satunya terjadi di sekolah.  Stres akademik pada siswa akibat aktivitas belajar seperti bolos sekolah, meninggalkan jam pelajaran sebelum waktunya, terlambat datang ke sekolah, tugas terlambat dikumpulkan, dan berhenti dari sekolah dikarenakan tidak mampu mengikuti pembelajaran di jurusan yang dipilihnya. Stres akademik dapat mengakibatkan depresi jika tidak diatasi dengan baik. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) dapat mengurangi stres akademik secara efektif, mengendalikan kecemasan, dan ketegangan. Tujuan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa tentang stres dan cara manajemen stres dengan Progressive Muscle relaxation (PMR). Sasaran PkM ini adalah siswa kelas XII jurusan Desain Pemodelan dan Informasi Bangunan (DPIB) SMKN 01 Sungai Raya, Kubu Raya, Kalimantan Barat. Metode pelaksanaan PkM ini meliputi diskusi stres dan simulasi tentang teknik PMR. Hasil evaluasi setelah siswa melakukan simulasi PMR diperoleh 41,2% merasakan rileks, 26,5% merasa nyaman, 20,6% merasa tenang, dan 11,8% tidak merasa ada perubahan

Investigations on the Peach 4 Debrite, a Late Pleistocene Mass Movement on the Northwest British Continental Margin

The Peach 4 debrite is the most recent in a series of large scale Pleistocene MTDs within the Barra fan on the northwest British continental margin. Geophysical data indicate that Peach 4 was formed through a combination of blocky and muddy debris flows and affects an area of ~ 700 km2. BGS core sample 56 -10 36, located directly over the Peach 4 debrite, provides a minimum age of 14.68 ka cal BP for the last major failure. An upwards fining turbidite sequence in BGS core sample 56 -10 239 is associ-ated with increased As and S concentrations, indicators of diagenetic pyrite which forms under anoxic conditions. It is proposed that As and S concentrations may pro-vide a method of distinguishing between contourite and turbidite sedimentation, though further research is required
