Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Scheme for Digital Watermarking Using Functional Link Artificial Neural NetworkBanshidhar Majhi, Hasan ShalabiThe present study proposes a novel technique for copyright protection by utilizing digital watermarking of Images. The watermark is embedded and detected by using Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The exhaustive simulation results of the proposed scheme show improved performance over the existing methods in all cases, i.e. when the watermarked image is subjected … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroducing Song Form Intelligence into Streaming AudioKevin CurranWhen receiving streaming media over a low bandwidth wireless connection, users can experience not only packet losses but also extended service interruptions. These dropouts can last for as long as 15 sec. During this time no packets are received and if not addressed, these dropped packets cause unacceptable interruptions in the audio stream. A long dropout of this kind may … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractERCP Related SepsisIffet Palabıyıkoglu, Emin Tekelı, Derya Aysev et al.Endoscopic procedures performed worldwide have increased considerably in recent years. In addition to diagnosis, many cases previously necessitating surgery now often can be carried out by endoscopic techniques. However, endoscopy has introduced its own infection risk. Most reports of gastrointestinal endoscopy-associated infection describe sepsis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with biliary tract obstruction. During this study, which was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOxidized Low-density Lipoprotein Upregulates GM2 Activator Protein Gene ExpressionHidekatsu Yanai, Hiroshi Yoshida, Hironobu Fujiwara et al.Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been shown to be a powerful regulator of gene expression in monocyte-derived macrophage. To determine the effects of oxidized LDL on macrophage gene expression, macrophages incubated with native or oxidized LDL were analyzed by differential display technique. The differentially expressed cDNA (387 bp) fragment by oxidized LDL showed 100% homology to the part of 3’-untranslated … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosensor Based on Xanthine Oxidase for Monitoring Hypoxanthine in Fish MeatHelena S. Nakatani, Luciane V. dos Santos, Cristiano P. Pelegrine et al.An amperometric enzyme electrode for the detection of hypoxanthine in fish meat is described. The hypoxanthine sensor was prepared from xanthine oxidase immobilized by covalent binding with glutaraldehyde and bovine serum albumin on a nafion-coated platinum disc electrode. The responses for hypoxanthine were obtained in 0.1 mol L-1 phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), at potential of 600mV vs Ag/AgCl. This biosensor … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Chinese Traditional Processing Method on Components in Semen Sinapis AlbaeLifang Liu, Hui Zhou, Suqin Sun et al.Techniques of infrared (IR) spectrophotometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and HPLC-mass spectrometry are employed in this study to reveal the changes of the components in Semen sinapis Albae during the Chinese traditional processing. While the degradation of proteins and polysaccarides can be observed, sinapine in this drug can be known to decompose immediately after 15 mins during processing.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing Effectiveness of IDS to Improve Security in IntranetUmesh Kumar Singh, A. K. Ramani, Narendra S. Chaudhari, Vandana GuptaToday Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are becoming one of the most important tools for intranet security. Research regarding Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) has become more active with the recent increases in illegal accesses to computer systems. Many researchers focus only on the techniques or mechanisms for detecting intrusions automatically, without considering the security of IDSs themselves. When an intruder attacks … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
