Abstract: This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate and/or prodrug of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonize) the apelin receptor (also referred to herein as the APJ receptor; gene symbol APLNR). This disclosure also features compositions containing the same as well as other methods of using and making the same. The chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human) having a disease, disorder, or condition in which a decrease in APJ receptor activity (e.g., repressed or impaired APJ receptor signaling; e.g., repressed or impaired apelin-APJ receptor signaling) or downregulation of endogenous apelin contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition.

Abstract: The application relates to a method and a transmitter communication device configured to provide video data to a receiver communication device, wherein the video data comprises one or more groups of frames and each group of frames comprises a plurality of temporally successive frames. The method comprises processing a first frame of a current, i.e. currently processed group of frames using a first modulation and coding scheme of a plurality of modulation and coding schemes and processing a second frame of the current group of frames using a second modulation and coding scheme of the plurality of modulation and coding schemes, and further selecting the second modulation and coding scheme of the plurality of modulation and coding schemes on the basis of a temporal position of the second frame relative to the first frame of the current group of frames.
