Background: Studies indicate older adults have increased risk for alcohol-related harms (e.g., risk for falls) that can manifest at lower levels of consumption than younger adults.Specifically, age-related changes in alcohol metabolism, physiology, increased morbidity, and potential interactions with medications to manage chronic conditions increas
This paper presents a robust watermarking method against geometric distortions and several Toy Abacuses other signal processing schemes.In the proposed watermarking method, image normalization is used to get geometric invariant features.The watermark embedding and detection process are carried out in the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain.A DCT
Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Service Level Agreements (SLAs) assessment constitutes the de facto area of interest and applications in the public cloud infrastructure.However, the domination of colossal corporations tends to monopolize the way metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measured and determined, leading to governed
Abstract The RNA decay pathway plays key regulatory roles in cell identities and differentiation processes.Although adipogenesis is transcriptionally and epigenetically regulated and has been thoroughly investigated, how RNA metabolism that contributes to the stability of phenotype-shaping transcriptomes participates in differentiation remains elus
A permanently captive 21-year-old male bald eagle was diagnosed with chronic degenerative joint disease in the right stifle with severe lameness (Grade 5) based on radiography.Clinical signs included decreased movement, vocalization, non weight-bearing on the affected limb, inappetence, Peeling depression, and pododermatitis on the left foot (bumbl
