Location privacy protection in VANETs considers preserving two types of information: the locations and identifications of users. However, existing solutions which either replace identifications by pseudonyms or hide locations in areas cannot be directly applied to geographic routing protocols since they degrade network performance. To address this issue, we proposed a location-preserved content...

1. Twenty leaf-protein concentrates (LPC), were produced from different crops and by different processes, the latter being designed to retain maximum nutritional value of the samples. 2. The establishment of conditions for the use of CI ACid Orange 12 in a commercial dye-buffer reagent for the determination of protein and reactive (available) lysine in LPC was investigated. 3. Values for protei...

Lysophosphoglycerides accumulate in ischemic myocardium and induce electrophysiologic alterations in normoxic tissue in vitro closely resembling those seen with ischemia in vivo. Delayed afterdepolarizations and triggered activity may be particularly important in the pathogenesis of arrhythmias in the ischemic heart. The present study was performed to determine whether lysophosphatidylcholine (...

AIM To determine lipid species that change in response to a change in dairy consumption. In addition, to investigate whether dairy associated lipid species are correlated with changes in measures of vascular structure and function. METHODS A 12-mo randomised controlled trial was conducted to determine the effect of increased consumption of fruit, vegetables and dairy, compared to usual diet, ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) selectively damages white matter. White matter damage does not produce deficits in many behavioral tests used to analyze experimental TBI. Rats were impaired on an active place avoidance task following inactivation of one hippocampal injection of tetrodotoxin. The need for both hippocampi suggests that acquisition of the active place avoidance task may require inter...

OBJECTIVE Hippocampal insults have been observed in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) induces neurogenesis in the hippocampus and en- hances the proliferation, migration and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). In the current study, we have investigated the effect of FGF2 on the processes of gliotoxin induced demyelination and subsequent ...

The Lapinized Philippines Coronel (LPC) vaccine, an attenuated strain of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), is an important tool for the prevention and control of CSFV infection and is widely and routinely used in most CSF endemic areas, including Taiwan. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PCV2 infection affects the efficacy of the LPC vaccine. Eighteen 6-week-old, cesarean-deriv...

A novel vowel feature extraction method via hybrid wavelet and linear prediction coding (LPC) is presented here. The proposed Arabic vowels recognition system is composed of very promising techniques; wavelet transform (WT) with linear prediction coding (LPC) for feature extraction and feed forward backpropagation neural network (FFBPNN) for classification. Trying to enhance the recognition pro...

According to the situation that traditional speech authentication algorithms are not appropriated for the present speech communication, we proposed a speech authentication algorithm of perceptual hashing which is based on linear forecast analysis (LPC), it can satisfy the requirement of the efficiency and the robustness for the speech authentication. Firstly, the LPC coefficients are optimized,...
