This document presents a generalized discrete cosine transform (DCT) decimation scheme for DCT-domain spatial downscaling to improve visual quality. It proposes performing two-fold decimation on flexible-sized subframes larger than 8x8 blocks to reduce aliasing artifacts compared to pixel-domain downscaling schemes. Sparse matrix representations are derived to reduce the computation cost of the proposed DCT decimation method. Experimental results show the proposed approach achieves better visual quality than existing schemes while computational complexity increases but can be optimized by applying larger subframe sizes only to high activity regions.
Antonio y María están iniciando los trámites de separación y acuden a un educador social para negociar aspectos relacionados con sus hijos de forma colaborativa. El educador les ofrece un espacio neutral para comunicarse mejor, fomenta la colaboración sobre la confrontación, y les ayuda a encontrar acuerdos sobre temas como la residencia y cuidado de los hijos.

Describe los efectos de la contaminación ambiental en la salud humana. Finalmente, destaca la importancia de la educación ambiental y sus objetivos de crear conciencia sobre la protección del medio ambiente.
The document summarizes information about a wildlife sanctuary in 3 paragraphs. It provides details about the 10 different habitat areas in the sanctuary, the various animal species found in each area, and statistics on animal populations. Over 100 species of animals are found at the sanctuary, with mammals like elephants, deer and monkeys making up 60% of the population. The sanctuary sees around 24,000 visitors annually and aims to promote conservation awareness.

The filmmakers have chosen to target their film, "The Blackout", at teenagers aged 14-19 because the characters are within that age range and will be easy for that audience to relate to. Younger audiences may find the film too scary, while older audiences may not relate as much. Though the film will appeal to both males and females, it is aimed mostly at females. The filmmakers have chosen to act as the characters themselves so that as people within the target age range, they can effectively relate to the audience and help the audience feel as if they are in the film.
Este documento define la música y sus elementos fundamentales. Explica que la música es el arte de organizar sonidos y silencios mediante principios como la melodía, armonía y ritmo. Describe los parámetros del sonido como la altura, duración, intensidad y timbre. También cubre la notación musical occidental y cómo esta organiza los sonidos a través del tiempo y la altura sobre un pentagrama.
The document discusses key challenges in defending against insider threats, specifically the problem of information leakage. It notes that once sensitive data is leaked online through means like file sharing networks, it can circulate forever on the internet. Technological solutions for tracking data spread, like provable data possession, and legal approaches around "right to be forgotten" are discussed. Examples of data leaks from government and healthcare organizations in Japan that occurred through peer-to-peer networks are also provided.

This document summarizes a Sunday school lesson discussing issues around physician assisted suicide and euthanasia. It provides biblical perspectives against euthanasia, physician assisted suicide, and abortion as forms of murder that usurp God's authority over life and death. It also discusses differing Christian perspectives on capital punishment. Examples of euthanasia and suicide in the Bible and modern society are presented, as well as legal issues around physician assisted suicide in the US. The document advocates that all human life is sacred and of equal worth from a biblical perspective.
Riverside Outfitters is a Richmond-based company that offers various outdoor activities on the James River, including white-water rafting. They approached VCU Brandcenter students to develop a marketing plan to increase brand awareness and seasonal revenue for their white-water rafting. The students identified "Fringers", locals who enjoy the James River but have not rafted, as a key target segment. They recommended partnering with LivingSocial for a promotional deal, which sold out and earned Riverside Outfitters over $16,000, exceeding projections and increasing their seasonal revenue by 50%.
The document analyzes two music advertisements and discusses elements from each that could be incorporated into the author's own advertisement.
The first ad, for Gwen Stefani, effectively uses shots from her album cover and music video to connect the two. Its use of color symbolizes her style of music and lyrics. The second ad, for Manic Street Preachers, gains credibility through positive reviews. Its postcard-style layout reflects the album title and uses black and white to look professional. The author wants to borrow elements like connecting the video and album visually, using colors thematically, and incorporating reviews in their own ad.
This article attracts both a young male and female audience. It discusses a new drug called Roflcopter that is used in dance music scenes. Bright colors and strobe light imagery represent dance clubs and music. The use of acronyms like "ROFL" also attracts a young audience. While the colors stand out, adding more images of people would help readers relate to the magazine.
El documento resume varios elementos populares de Halloween como la calabaza, Chucky el mu?eco diabólico, la ni?a poseída del Exorcista, Frankenstein, Jack el Destripador y las brujas. También incluye imágenes de una calabaza típica de Halloween y una bruja.
