This paper describes the use of some color spaces in JPEG image compression algorithm and their impact terms quality ratio, then proposes adaptive space models (ACSM) to improve performance lossy algorithm. The proposed ACSM consists of, dominant analysis YCoCg family. family is composed three spaces, which are YCcCr, YCpCg YCyCb. colors developed enables automatically select one based on suita...

This study was designed to evaluate the impact of the National Blueprint (NB) on the policies, programs, and organizational culture of selected national organizations. The theoretical model selected to assess the impact of the NB on organizational behavior was Burke's system theory of organizational change. Three organizations, AARP, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the Admin...

BACKGROUND Aerobic fitness, assessed by measuring VO2max in maximum cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) or by estimating VO2max through the use of equations in exercise testing, is a predictor of mortality. However, the error resulting from this estimate in a given individual can be high, affecting clinical decisions. OBJECTIVE To determine the error of estimate of VO2max in cycle ergometr...

BACKGROUND Regular physical activity can not only help with weight management, but also lower cardiovascular risks, cancer rates, and chronic disease burden. Yet, only approximately 20% of Americans currently meet the physical activity guidelines recommended by the US Department of Health and Human Services. With the rapid development of mobile technologies, mobile apps have the potential to im...

throughout a lifetime is essential for a favorable quality of life. Like most human tissue, skeletal muscle is highly plastic and is capable of responding to a stimulus through a network of anabolic signaling which results in growth and increases in strength. Skeletal muscle functions as the largest disposal site of ingested glucose 1, plays an important role in lipid oxidation 2, 3, and is one...

OBJECTIVE To contribute to the development of measures that increase physical activity (PA) levels in workers with and without chronic diseases, insight into workers' PA level is needed. Therefore, this study examined the association between the number of chronic diseases and PA in a Dutch working population. METHODS Data of 131,032 workers from the Dutch Public Health Monitor 2012 were used ...

In this paper, an advanced modus operandi named the -constrained simplex method (ACSM) is deployed to resolve a real-time hydro-thermal-wind-solar power scheduling problem. ACSM updated articulation of Nonlinear Simplex Method (SM) Nelder and Mead. It has been designed after interbreeding ordinary SM with some other methods like-evolutionary method, ?-constrained etc. To develop technique three...
