A fast bipolar H2 outflow from IRAS 16342-3814 : An old star reliving its youth
(2012-03)Some evolved stars in the pre-planetary nebula phase produce highly collimated molecular outflows that resemble the accretion-driven jets and outflows from pre-main-sequence stars. We show that IRAS 16342-3814 (the Water ... -
Fast Girls, Foreigners and GIs : An Exploration of the Discursive Strategies Through Which the Status of Pre-Marital (Hetero) sexual Ignorance and Restraint Was Upheld During the Second World War
(2009-11-30)This paper explores contradictions within qualitative data gathered among women and men whose young adulthood coincided with the Second World War. These data were generated as part of an ESRC-funded project which investigated ... -
A Fast Intra/Inter Mode Decision Algorithm of H.264/AVC for Real-time Applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)A novel fast Intra/Inter mode decision algorithm for H.264/AVC is proposed in this paper. By reducing the calculations incurred in both intra- and inter-prediction in video encoding, the computational complexity is ... -
A Fast Mode Decision Algorithm in Spatial and Temporal Scalable Video Coding
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)To decrease the computational complexity of adaptive inter-layer prediction and improve the encoding efficiency in spatial and temporal scalable video coding, a mode decision algorithm is proposed by exploiting the part ... -
A fast mode decision algorithm of adaptive inter-layer prediction in scalable video coding
(2009)A fast mode decision algorithm is proposed to solve the computation complexity for enhancement hierarchical-B pictures with adaptive inter-layer prediction in H.264/AVC scalable extension, scalable video coding. This method ... -
Fast mode decision for Hierarchical-B pictures in scalable video coding
(2011-08-01)To decrease the computational complexity of adaptive inter-layer prediction and improve the encoding efficiency in scalable video coding, a mode decision algorithm is proposed by exploiting the part of used candidate modes ... -

Fast mode selection to reduce the encoding complexity of H.264/AVC
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)Fast mode selection is one of the hottest research topics for H.264/AVC finalized in 2003. Since the computational complexity is still a major challenge for real-time applications, simplification of mode selection is ... -
A fast partial parse of natural language sentences using a connectionist method
(Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., 1995)The pattern matching capabilities of neural networks can be used to locate syntactic constituents of natural language. This paper describes a fully automated--hybrid system, using neural nets operating within a grammatic ... -
Fast wall-following exploration with two cooperating mobile robots
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)In this paper two cooperating robots are used to explore an unknown environment. The new technique aims to decrease the exploration time and the energy consumption. It combines the wall-following exploration algorithm and ... -

Fat Cities and Food Deserts: : Exploring a socio-spatial continuum
(2007-11-30)Abstract: Just as in Australian cities, European urban areas are suffering an increasing spatial, social, economic and political divide between the food enabled and those whose health is suffering from poor food choices. ... -
Fat City : Why Bologna Works
(1998-02)An article exploring the paradox of the rich cuisine of the citta grassa (fat city) and its thin, long lived inhabitants -
Fat mass- and obesity-associated genotype, dietary intakes and anthropometric measures in European adults : the Food4Me study
(2016-02)The interplay between the fat mass- and obesity-associated (FTO) gene variants and diet has been implicated in the development of obesity. The aim of the present analysis was to investigate associations between FTO genotype, ... -
Fatal heart block from intentional yew tree (Taxus baccata) ingestion: a case report
(2019-12-23)Background Taxus baccata, also known as English yew, is a poison that causes cardiac arrhythmias and can result in death from cardiogenic shock.Case summary A 49-year-old gentleman was admitted following yew ingestion with ... -
Fatal injuries while under the influence of psychoactive drugs: a cross-sectional exploratory study in England
(2006)BACKGROUND: Studies of drug-related mortality rarely describe fatal injuries due to psychoactive drug intoxication (FIUI). The main aim of this study was to determine the nature, extent and pattern of FIUI. METHODS: This ... -
Fatalism and the Future
(Oxford University Press, 2011)I discuss how we should respond to the view that says that the truth of future-tensed statements entails that the future could not have been otherwise. Much fatalist reasoning of this type is rather uninteresting since it ... -
