[Purpose] assess the impact of exercise intensity on desire to smoke, serum cotinine, stress hormones, total antioxidant capacity, and oxidative free radicals as potential markers of cardiopulmonary metabolic disorders were measured.in cigarette smokers. [Subjects and Methods] The participants (150 randomly selected healthy men, aged 18-55 years) were classified into 4 smoking groups: control (...

one of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. but this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. in this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named capacity surface which shows the effects of ca...

OBJECTIVE Working memory (WM) capacity, typically measured with cognitively complex span tasks, is correlated with higher order cognitive abilities in healthy adults. The goals of this study were to determine whether a more focused measure of visual WM storage capacity would show similar higher order ability correlations in healthy adults and in people with schizophrenia (PSZ), thereby demonstr...

High-affinity, low-capacity estradiol-17beta (E(2)) binding is present in rainbow trout scale. The K(d) and B(max) of the scale E(2) binding are similar to those of the liver E(2) receptor (K(d) is 1.6 +/- 0.1 and 1.4 +/- 0.1 nM, and B(max) is 9.1 +/- 1.2 and 23. 1 +/- 2.2 fmol x mg protein(-1), for scale and liver, respectively), but different from those of the high-affinity, low-capacity E(2)...

This paper proposes a high capacity reversible image watermarking scheme based on enhancement of difference expansion method. Reversible watermarking enables the embedding of useful information in a host signal without any loss of host information. We propose an enhancement of Difference Expansion technique whereby we can embed recursively into multiple layer of payload for grey scale and also ...
