Image compression is concerned with minimization of the number of information carrying units used to represent an image. Lossy compression techniques incur some loss of information which is usually imperceptible. In return for accepting this distortion, we obtain much higher compression ratios than is possible with lossless compression. Salient features of this book include: four new image compression algorithms and implementation of these algorithms; detailed discussion of fuzzy geometry measures and their application in image compression algorithms; new domain decomposition based algorithms using image quality measures and study of various quality measures for gray scale image compression; compression algorithms for different parallel architectures and evaluation of time complexity for encoding on all architectures; parallel implementation of image compression algorithms on a cluster in Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) environment.

This book deals with Stress Management in a holistic and comprehensive manner, tracing its origin and evolution in humans, and its adverse effects. It outlines ways to manage stress in its four components - body, intellect, emotions and philosophy. the book beautifully incorporates science, medicine, psychology and philosophy within its pages, making the subjects easy to comprehend. Moreover, there are practical guidelines on how to be happy, with relevant insights from the Bhagavad Gita.
