Transforms for prediction residuals in video coding
… image intensities in image coding and prediction residuals in video coding. Major prediction residuals include the motion compensated prediction residual, the resolution enhancement residual in scalable video coding, and the intra prediction residual in intra-frame coding. The 2-D DCT is efficient …

Groundwater effects of land applied alum residuals
… and Slagle soils had various amounts of alum residuals, lime and plant nutrients incorporated into the topsoil. A weekly dose of rainwater was applied to each column over a six month period. Leachate and soil constituents were analyzed to evaluate migration of specific constituents from the …

Effectiveness of Disinfectant Residuals in Distribution Systems
In many drinking water systems in the United States, disinfectant is added to water as it leaves the plant to maintain a residual concentration in the distribution system. The disinfectant residual is maintained to inactivate contamination that enters the distribution system, to control biofilms, …

Transforms for prediction residuals based on prediction inaccuracy modeling
… previously encoded information. The prediction residuals are encoded with transforms. With a proper choice of the transform, a large amount of the residual energy compacts into a small number of transform coefficients. This is known as the energy compaction property. Given the covariance …

Measurement of spallation residuals in mercury for accelerator facility targets
… of 53 medium and longer-lived spallation residuals using gamma spectroscopy at various decay times up to a year were determined. The measured cross sections were then compared with predicted cross sections from the MCNPX code. After acquisition of the gamma spectroscopy data the targets …

An evaluation of lime residuals management alternatives for water utilities
… the drinking water. Lime softening generates residuals as part of the water treatment process, which are inert and non-hazardous. This report provides an environmental and economic evaluation of three lime residuals disposal alternatives: a registered disposal site, beneficially reusing the …

Parametric modeling of dependence of bivariate quantile regression residuals' signs
… probability of concordance of the signs of the residuals of the conditional quantiles of each univariate response. The probability of concordance is bounded from below by the value of largest possible negative dependence and from above by that of largest possible positive dependence. The value …

Testing regression models with residuals as data by Xia Hua.
… residual based test, the turning point test for residuals, which tests the hypothesis that the kth order polynomial regression holds with ... while the alternative can simply be the negation or be more specific, e.g., polynomial regression with order higher than k. This test extends the rather …

Leaching from High Capacity Arsenic-Bearing Solid Residuals under Landfill Conditions
… generates huge amounts of arsenic bearing solid residuals (ABSRs) complicating further this matter.Numerous studies have suggested that the Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) does not properly reflect the actual leaching behavior of ASBRs under landfills (Ghosh et al., 2004). This …

The phase separation inlet for droplets, ice residuals, and interstitial aerosols
… - the phaSe seParation Inlet for Droplets icE residuals and inteRstitial aerosols (SPIDER) - is described. SPIDER combines an omni-directional inlet, a Large-Pumped Counterflow Virtual Impactor (L-PCVI), a flow tube as evaporation chamber, and a Pumped Counterflow Virtual Impactor (PCVI) to …

Control charts based on residuals for monitoring processes with correlated observations
… the EWMA chart and the CUSUM chart, based on the residuals from the forecast values of an ARMA model. It is assumed that the process mean is a ftrst order autoregressive (AR(l)) model and the observations are the mean plus a random error. Properties of these charts are evaluated using a Markov …

Coal Combustion Residuals in Receiving Lake Ecosystems: Trophic Transfer, Toxicity, and Tracers
… collectively referred to as coal combustion residuals (CCRs), into freshwater rivers and lakes through permitted discharges overseen by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. CCRs are characterized by high concentrations of numerous inorganic elements, many of which are toxic to …

Value learning through Bellman residuals and neural function approximations in deterministic systems
… Process (MDP) by optimizing for the Bellman residuals directly without using any heuristic surrogates. Compared to the traditional Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) methods, this approach can have both advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages of such an approach is that the …

Effects of Site Response on the Correlation Structure of Ground Motion Residuals
… the correlation structure of normalized residuals across oscillator periods is important for guiding ground motion selection. Correlation structures for large global datasets have been studied extensively. These correlation structures reflect effects that are averaged over the entire …

Geochemical and Isotopic Characterization of Coal Combustion Residuals: Implications for Potential Environmental Impacts
… generate 136 million tons of Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs) annually, encompassing fly ash, bottom ash, and flue gas desulfurization materials. The range and blends of CCRs varies substantially across coal-fired plants and depends on a unique set of circumstances for each plant and coal …

Engineering Characteristics of Coal Combustion Residuals and a Reconstitution Technique for Triaxial Samples
Traditionally, coal combustion residuals (CCRs) were disposed of with little engineering consideration. Initially, common practice was to use a wet-scrubbing system to cut down on emissions of fly ash from the combustion facilities, where the ash materials were sluiced to the disposal facility and …

Analysis of one-dimensional transforms in coding motion compensation prediction residuals for video applications
… overall compression efficiency. The prediction residuals are typically treated as images and compressed by applying two-dimensional transforms such as the two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT). Previous work has found that the use of direction-adaptive one-dimensional discrete …
