be reconstructed from the compressed file without error. The algorithms selected forthis task utilize recent advances in wavelet theory, especially integer wavelet transforms,and coding theory to maximize the compression ratio. An uncompressed color or black-and-white image in bit map (BMP) or tagged image file format (TIFF) is transformed intoa text file consisting of a matrix of pixel values. This text file is filtered (transformed)using various integer wavelet transforms. The integer wavelet transforms are applied asmany times as needed. This process reduces the redundancy of the original picture asmuch as possible. The integer wavelet transforms such as (1,1), (2,2), (2,4), (2+2,2),(3,1), (4,2), (4,4), (6,2), 9-7, D4, S+P are used in the

This resulted in a 1-credit hourFortran 90 course (EF 2324) and a 2-credit hour C++ course (EF 2314). The Electrical andComputer Engineering Department decided to offer its own 3-credit C++ course (ECE 1574).Some departments dropped the programming language component from their curriculum Page 9.955.1completely.The ProblemThe first course offering of EF 2314 was scheduled for fall 1999.

This leads to the concepts of nominal and effective interest rate. Again, Excel’sfinancial analysis tools were used to build the simulation shown in Table 3. This shows therelationship between nominal interest rate, effective rate per compounding period (CP), andeffective annual rate. On changing the value(s) of nominal rate and/or compounding frequency,the resulting effective rates are shown automatically by the computer

The jig and fixture has removable plates so that, after curing, the testpiece may be easily removed without damaging the specimens. The specimens (Figure 1a) arethen placed on a flat surface to complete the hardening process. The strip time was six minutes.2. Scratch Hardness Testing The scratch hardness test5 is used as an indicator of specimen consistency.

It alsoallows the user to choose between three element sizes to adjust the load bearing capacity asneeded. The allowable truss members are all square, with dimensions of 0.125 inches, 0.187inches, and 0.250 inches.
