Organizational Design of R&D Activities

This paper addresses the question of whether R&D should be carried out by an independent research unit or be produced in-house by the firm marketing the innovation. We define two organizational structures. In an integrated structure, the firm that markets the innovation also carries out and finances research leading to the innovation. In an independent structure, the firm that markets the innovation buys it from an independent research unit which is financed externally. We compare the two structures under the assumption that the research unit has some private information about the real cost of developing the new product. When development costs are negatively correlated with revenues from the innovation, the integrated structure dominates. The independent structure dominates in the opposite case.

Development of 2-D MRT based Image Compression Techniques

The thesis explores the area of still image compression. The image compression techniques can be broadly classified into lossless and lossy compression. The most common lossy compression techniques are based on Transform coding, Vector Quantization and Fractals. Transform coding is the simplest of the above and generally employs reversible transforms like, DCT, DWT, etc. Mapped Real Transform (MRT) is an evolving integer transform, based on real additions alone. The present research work aims at developing new image compression techniques based on MRT. Most of the transform coding techniques employ fixed block size image segmentation, usually 8×8. Hence, a fixed block size transform coding is implemented using MRT and the merits and demerits are analyzed for both 8×8 and 4×4 blocks. The N2 unique MRT coefficients, for each block, are computed using templates. Considering the merits and demerits of fixed block size transform coding techniques, a hybrid form of these techniques is implemented to improve the performance of compression. The performance of the hybrid coder is found to be better compared to the fixed block size coders. Thus, if the block size is made adaptive, the performance can be further improved. In adaptive block size coding, the block size may vary from the size of the image to 2×2. Hence, the computation of MRT using templates is impractical due to memory requirements. So, an adaptive transform coder based on Unique MRT (UMRT), a compact form of MRT, is implemented to get better performance in terms of PSNR and HVS The suitability of MRT in vector quantization of images is then experimented. The UMRT based Classified Vector Quantization (CVQ) is implemented subsequently. The edges in the images are identified and classified by employing a UMRT based criteria. Based on the above experiments, a new technique named “MRT based Adaptive Transform Coder with Classified Vector Quantization (MATC-CVQ)”is developed. Its performance is evaluated and compared against existing techniques. A comparison with standard JPEG & the well-known Shapiro’s Embedded Zero-tree Wavelet (EZW) is done and found that the proposed technique gives better performance for majority of images

Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Thomas Hardy : AS-A level English literature resource pack.

Guía del profesor para el estudio de la obra 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' (publicada a finales del siglo XIX) del autor británico Thomas Hardy, en el nivel AS-A (bachillerato) de la asignatura de Literatura Inglesa. Los materiales están divididos en cuatro secciones: contextos, actividades, evaluación y recursos. El objetivo es ayudar a los estudiantes a familiarizarse con el texto, a apreciar su importancia como obra literaria, y a responder de forma detallada y analítica en el desarrollo de un trabajo de curso o un examen. Para ello se trata ampliamente la caracterización de los personajes, los temas y el lenguaje, y se incluyen prácticas de examen de redacción y ensayo.

Algunas reflexiones teológicas sobre la asimilación a Jesucristo en Gethsemaní, según la última en el cadalso, de Gertrud von le Fort, y Diálogos Carmelitas, de Georges Bernanos.

Analizar las razones de la angustia que padece un mundo en crisis, a través de escritos religiosos para llegar a la figura de Jesucristo y su influencia en la vida cristiana. El presente trabajo se encuentra dividido en tres partes atendiendo a los presupuestos básicos, abarcando una serie de aspectos que deben ayudar a centrar la cuestión en torno a la figura de Jesucristo. La segunda parte la constituye exclusivamente una serie de textos de los autores más significativos y la tercera parte está integrada por la reflexión teológica. En el capítulo primero se desarrollan los presupuestos aludidos en los textos trabajados: 'La última en el cadalso', 'Diálogos de Carmelitas' y la comparación posterior de las mismas y los datos históricos en los que se basan. En el capítulo segundo se explican los textos de Gertrud von Le Fort y Georges Bernanos. En el capítulo tercero se atiende a la teología de estas obras, acerca de la agonía de Cristo y su influjo en la vida cristiana, su importancia y trascendencia. La agonía de Cristo desde un punto de vista, humano y la valoración teológica basada en el dato de la cristología cristiana y los posibles campos de la aplicación de una fórmula cristológica. Junto con la angustia con Cristo o fidelidad a la angustia. 1) Vigencia de la espiritualidad cristiana que subraya el momento de Cristo en Getsemaní. 2) Se padece la misma tentación que sufrió Cristo en el Huerto de los Olivos, la tentación de huída y fuga. 3) Los datos extraídos de los textos muestran la trascendecia de la figura de Jesucristo.
