Watermarking of Images in Discrete Cosine transform

: Data embedding is simplest technique to achieve the secret data sharing information. Now days a color image is a very popular to consider cover image medium used to send the secret data. I have proposed an approach for hiding a secret image in a cover image. In the beginning, the DCT [8] of image is computed that is compress the secret image, and then encrypt cover data by DES. Various authors have proposed many watermarking algorithms. These algorithms are implemented in ether the spatial, frequency or wavelet domains. But which algorithms are better? Is embedding a watermark in one domain better than another? Do combining domains result in a better watermarking algorithm? This report attempts to answer these questions by selecting eight algorithms and analyzing them. Of these eight algorithms 2 embeds the watermark in the spatial domain, 2 in the frequency domain, 2 in the wavelet domain, one in a combination of frequency and spatial domain. Do to the wide variety of algorithms a standard benchmark is also developed, within this report, to analyze the algorithms. In this work, the steganographic paradigm of data hiding in digital images has implemented. Several algorithms based on this approach exist in literature and the strengths and limitations of these algorithms are mentioned. Two existing algorithms which secures a cover image during embedding and DCT [9] algorithm embeds secrete image into a cover image while inherently preserving the first order statistics of the image. Finally, embed the cover image into the middle-frequency domain of DCT [1]. After embedding the secret image, the goal of steganography can be successfully achieved . The proposed algorithms are successful in embedding the image in bit alteration . The purpose of this project is provide n-Bit security.

Background: Women worldwide suffer from various gynaecological disorders that require hysterectomy as a treatment option. Objectives: Our aim was to conduct a histopathological study of various uterine lesions in hysterectomy specimens and to correlate the findings with clinical indications. Methods: A prospective study was done on 200 hysterectomy specimens. The specimens were fixed in formalin and the tissue was adequately processed. The sections were stained with routine Haematoxylin and Eosin stain. Results: In this study the most common clinical indication for hysterectomy was leiomyoma (57.0%) followed by utero-vaginal prolapse (28.5%). Clinical indication of leiomyoma was confirmed by histopathology in 96.5% cases, whereas that of cervical dysplasia, cervical polyp, squamous cell carcinoma cervix, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis and endometrial carcinoma was confirmed in 100% cases. Conclusion: The ultimate diagnosis and prognosis depends on the histopathological examination; therefore every operated specimen must be subjected to histopathology.
Fusion of Face and Voice: An improvement

: Multimodal biometric systems provide a better recognition performance compared to systems based on a single biometric modality. The fusion technique is necessary and effective for combing information in multimodal biometric system. In this paper, we propose a new fusion technique based on simple sum rule and product rule. The double sigmoid normalization technique is used after adjusting the parameter t to give us better results. The proposed fusion scheme is compared with some fusion schemes such as sum rule, product rule, maximum rule and minimum rule. Experimental are carried out on two different build multimodal biometric databases. Experimental results indicate that proposed fusion scheme achieves higher performance as compared with other fusion techniques.

End-of-Life Care in Chronic Respiratory Diseases. Ten Critical and Sensitive Questions

Getting close to death is the unique, solemn and most challenging event for all people, regardless age, gender, beliefs, religious and philosophic orientation, and health status. The longest sufferance patients encounter, the most painful waiting period they face. Advance care planning (ACP) is the process of appropriate communication between patients, health-care professionals and the patients’ relatives about the preferences for end-of-life care. It became important to deliver high-quality end-of-life care, consistent with and respecting the patients’ goal, values, needs and beliefs. ACP should prepare patients and the loved ones to participate with physicians in making the best possible in-the-moment medical decision, but this not always easy for the doctors, affordable to the health care system or acceptable by the patients and relatives. They are evaluated some key points of the process by addressing ten main questions.

Development, Characterization and Application Studies of Cellulose acetate – activated Carbon blend Ultra Filtration Membranes

Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane separation is one of the largely used technologies for macro molecular solutes separation from aqueous streams e specially for effluent treatment of process industr ie . A series of cellulose acetate (CA) blended with activ ted carbon, ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were pr epa ed by the phase-inversion technique in 99.5/0.5, 98.5/1.5 and 97.5/2.5% blend compositions. Prepared membran es were subjected to morphological studies (using SEM and AFM), UF characterization study and thermal stability study. The blend membranes exhibited differences in morphologies, porosities and properties due to the activated carbon (AC) addition. With increase in AC concentration in the membrane composition, the membranes exhibited excellent water permeability, h ydrophilicity, thermal strength and good anti-fouli ng ability. Results clearly indicated the improved characterist ic features of 97.5% CA – 2.5% AC blend membrane in comparison with other synthesized UF membrane s. Subsequently, performance study on the 97.5% CA – 2.5% AC blend membrane was carried out by subjectin g the blend membrane for a typical tannery effluent treatment to study the reduction of BOD, COD and su lphates in the effluent. Performance results of the blend membrane were compared with the performance of pure CA membrane.
Occupational Noise Exposure and Hearing Impairment among Spinning Workers in Iran

Background: Hearing impairment (HI), resulting from noise exposure, can be incapacitating and irreversible. Objectives: ThepresentstudyaimedtodeterminetherelationshipbetweennoiseexposureandHIamongworkersandemployees in a spinning industry. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 489 workers in a spinning industry in Iran during 2015. The census method was applied for the purpose of sampling. The hearing threshold of each ear was determined during work shifts, using Madsen audiometric device. HI was calculated, based on the guidelines by the American Medical Association (AMA). The eﬀects of diﬀerent variables on HI were assessed via regression analysis. Results: The mean noise level at workplace was 88.87 ± 13.6 dB. The highest noise level in the sampled worksites was observed in the ring spinning section (94.1 ± 3.2 dB). Based on the results, maximum HI in both ears was 41%. The ﬁndings showed a signiﬁcant relationship between HI and noise level, age, educational level, and work shift. Also, a linear equation was proposed in which each dB increase in noise level resulted in an approximately 0.5% decline in HI. Conclusions: Byintroducinganequation,thisstudydemonstratedthatspinningworkers,whoareexposedtorelativelyhighnoise levels, are at risk of major HI. In addition, a number of potential contributing factors, including age, work experience, occupation, and work shift, were correlated with HI.
Screening for Helicobacter pylori Infection among Asymptomatic University Students in Alexandria, Egypt, Using Non Invasive Laboratory Techniques

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) discovered, as a human pathogen, by Marshall and Warren in 1982 (Marshall and Warren, 1984) is a gramnegative bacterium that colonizes the human stomach and can lead to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma besides causing other extra-digestive infections (McColl, 2010). A systematic review from 73 countries in 6 continents in 2018 revealed an overall prevalence of 44.3% worldwide. This rate ranged from 50.8 in developing countries to 34.7% in developed countries (Zamani et al., 2018). The prevalence rate differs considerably from one country to another and even within the same country, but overall, it is less frequent in developed countries than in developing ones in which prevalence rates of >80% were reported previously (Yan et al., 2013, Hussain and Hamid, 2014, Whalen and Massidda, 2015, Perez-Perez et al., 2004).

A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY ON BREASTFEEDING AND COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING PRACTICES AMONG LACTATING MOTHERS IN ILE IFE, NIGERIA

Infants worldwide are supposed to be fed on breast milk exclusively within the first six months of life and subsequent complementary feeding in addition until about 2 years. The study investigated how breasts and complementary feedings were practiced among lactating mothers attending a primary health centre, at Enuwa, Ile Ife Osun State Nigeria. The study was a cross sectional survey conducted in a primary health care facility centre in Ile Ife, Nigeria. Two hundred lactating women were recruited into the study by convenience sampling method. The data was collected by semi structured pretested questionnaire that elicited information on breast and complementary feeding pattern of respondents with children not older than two years. Data was analyzed using a software of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.Of the 200 nursing mothers interviewed,61% were between the ages of 21-35, 95% of the mothers were married. About 65.5% of the respondents were artisans and traders , while 62.5% among them were secondary school leavers. About 82% exclusively breastfed their babies, while 54% initiated breastfeeding within 30 minutes of birth and 50% practiced complementary feeding at ≥6 months). About 76% had their source of information on the importance of breast and complementary feeding from the health facility. About 75 % preferred 18 months as duration of breastfeeding, while 89.5% breastfed on demand , 97.5% knew the benefits of breast milk and 51% practiced good hygiene. About 23.5% weaned their children on family diet. The study showed that lactating mothers had good exclusive breast feeding and and an average healthy complementary feeding practices.
A Survey of Web Service Recommendation Techniques based on QoS values

: Web service recommendation has become a hot yet fundamental research topic in service computing. The most popular technique is the Collaborative Filtering (CF) based on a QoS values. With increasing presence and adoption of Web services on the World Wide Web, Quality-of-Service (QoS) is becoming important for describing nonfunctional characteristics of Web services. Several approaches to web service selection and recommendation via collaborative filtering have been studied, so here we are going to do survey of these techniques with pros and cons of techniques. Also based on these reviews we are going to propose a new technique to predict web service selection based on known and unknown QoS values which we explain in our future work.
IN-VITRO FREE-RADICAL SCAVENGING POTENTIAL OF THREE LIVERWORTS OF DARJEELING HIMALAYA

The present study was aimed to screen the antioxidant activity and phytochemical content of bryophyte species Marchantia paleacea Bertol. , Marchantia linearis Lehm. & Lindenb. and Conocephalum conicum (L.) Underw. collected from Darjeeling hills of Eastern Himalaya, India. The free radical scavenging activities were measured in-vitro by DPPH radical, metal chelating, superoxide, ABTS, reducing power, anti-lipid peroxidation, and nitric oxide scavenging activity. Total phenol, flavonoids, and ortho-dihydric phenol present in the samples were also estimated. Qualitative phytochemical screening was carried out to detect the presence of varied phytochemicals. Thinlayer chromatography (TLC) and TLC bioautography assay were also performed to confirm the presence of different bioactive compounds and its free radical scavenging potential. All the tested bryophyte species showed potential antioxidant activity and the existence of different phytochemicals. The results obtained from this work indicated that all the three bryophyte species analyzed are a potent source for antioxidants and can be pharmaceutically explored in future. INTRODUCTION: Oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from molecular oxygen as by-products during different metabolic pathways, are the cause of many degenerative diseases 1 . Thus, for the survival of all life forms detoxification of reactive oxygen species is highly essential. As such, the endogenous antioxidative defense mechanism has evolved to meet this requirement 2 . QUICK RESPONSE CODE DOI: 10.13040/IJPSR.0975-8232.5(10). 4552-61 This article can be accessed online on www.ijpsr. com DOI link: http://dx.doi. org/10.13040/IJPSR.0975-8232.5(10). 4552-61 The antioxidant can be either natural or synthetic, however, synthetic antioxidants are considered harmful for health 3 . Therefore, there is a need to look for new natural sources with potential pharmaceutical and antioxidant capabilities 4 . Bryophytes are now increasingly being considered as a new source of pharmaceuticals 5 . They possess different therapeutic activities and have been reported to be medicinally used by different ethnic communities 6 . Screening of different bryophyte species has shown their ability to be used as a possible source of antioxidants for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. However, in comparison to angiosperms, bryophytes are used much less as medicinal plants.
An Enhanced Image Steganography Technique in Art Images

— A new method of combining art image generation and hiding a secret image into this cubism-like image to enhance the camouflage effect for various information-hiding applications is proposed. First, a new type of computer art, called line-based Cubism-like image, which keeps a characteristic of the Cubism art created by extract prominent lines and regions. Then the cubism like image is divided into target tiles and the secret is also divided into secret tiles of same size as target. A mapping sequence is created based on secret-target tile similarity and the secret image is embedded into the target using that mapping sequence. To enhance security a secret key is shared between sender and receiver. The secret key will generate a random permutation that is used to permuting the mapping sequence. That mapping information is also embedded into the Cubism Image. Finally a secret-embedded-mosaic-image is created as stego image and that is sent to the receiver. When the receiver gets the output image, using the common secret key, he retrieves the mapping sequence and using that mapping sequence he will extract the secret image from the cubism image. Data hiding with the minimal distortion is carried out skillfully during the process of recolouring the regions and embedding is based on LSB replacement. The tile similarity algorithm avoids keeping a large database of matching images.

Effects of Waste Glass (WG) on the Strength Characteristics of Cement Stabilized Expansive Soil

The study investigates the suitability of using waste glass (WG) as admixture to cement stabilized black cotton soil (BCS) for roads, fills and embankment. The soil was classified as A-7-5 and CH according to the American Association of State Highway and Transport Officials (AASHTO) and the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) Classifications. Chemical analysis revealed that WG is rich in main oxides such as Silicon Oxide (69.2), Aluminium Oxide (2.29), Iron Oxide (1.57), Calcium Oxide (15.1) and Sodium Oxide (8.75). The soil was stabilized with 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% cement and 0, 5 10, 15 and 20% WG by weight of the dry soil. Laboratory tests were carried out using the Standard Proctor (SP) compactive efforts, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), and compaction characteristics tests to evaluate the effectiveness of WG on Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) stabilized BCS. The results obtained showed a decrease in the plasticity index (PI), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL) and increase Maximum Dry Density (MDD) with increase in WG content in all cement proportions used and as compared to the values obtained for the natural soil. The peak 7 days UCS values of 1152kN/m 2 was obtained at 8% OPC and 20% WG. Similarly, highest CBR value of 53.8% was obtained at an optimum blend of 8% OPC/20%WG. The results indicate that there is a potential in the use of WG as admixture to strengthen Black cotton soils.
