There are a lot of methods for embedding hidden information in JPEG format but no method have been presented so far with a high capacity and same accuracy. The loss of JPEG compression and the effects of such compression on the images have prevented the location area from being easily used for embedding and most of the methods apply the DCT coefficients of JPEG algorithm for this aspect. This p...

OBJECTIVES Healthcare workers have high rates of low back pain (LBP) related to handling patients. A large chain of nursing homes experienced reduced biomechanical load, compensation claims and costs following implementation of a safe resident handling programme (SRHP). The aim of this study was to examine whether LBP similarly declined and whether it was associated with relevant self-reported ...

Folliculogenesis in domestic hens appears to be controlled by numerous factors, particularly the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The involvement of LH in follicular steroidogenesis has been described in some detail; however, the specific role of FSH has remained elusive. In 3 experiments, the effects of ovine (o)- or chicken (c)-derived FSH (oFSH,...

A transgenic mouse was generated expressing on most (> 80%) of thymocytes and peripheral T cells a T-cell receptor isolated from a cytotoxic T-cell clone (F5). This clone is CD8+ and recognizes alpha alpha 366-374 of the nucleoprotein (NP 366-374) of influenza virus (A/NT/60/68), in the context of Class I MHC Db (Townsend et al., 1986). The receptor utilizes the V beta 11 and V alpha 4 gene seg...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (hp), serum amyloid a (saa) and igg, iga in calves with diarrhea caused by rotavirus, coronavirus, escherichia coli f5 and eimeria species. the experiment was carried out on 40 diarrhoeic and 10 non-diarrhoeic calves (group c). a total of 13 calves were infected with rotavirus or coronavirus (group ...

Sugar has a role in the intrinsic properties of product and gives satiety effect after consumption. Nevertheless, its adverse on human body becomes an essential reason to reduce sugar content including ready-to-drink (RTD) cocoa beverages. Besides sugar, beverages are also affected by stabilizers. The development reduced-sugar RTD was studied two steps. Initially, stabilizers comprising kappa-c...

BACKGROUND Alcohol intoxicated adolescents (AIA) in emergency department are an important target group for prevention and valid information on their familial risk and protective factors (RPF) is crucial for implementing customized family-based counseling in hospitals. We therefore, examined the psychometric characteristics of scales which assess familial RPF. METHODS We used seven family scal...

During spermatogenesis, immature spermatocytes traverse the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and enter the apical apartment of seminiferous epithelium for further development. This course involves extensive junction disassembly and reassembly at the BTB. P-glycoprotein is known to be coded by two genes in rodents, namely Abcb1a and Abcb1b. Our previous studies showed that simultaneously silencing Abc...
