Data sharing with multiple parties over a third-party distribution framework requires that both data integrity and confidentiality be assured. One of the most widely used data organization structures is the tree structure. When such structures encode sensitive information (such as in XML documents), it is crucial that integrity and confidentiality be assured not only for the content, but also f...

OBJECTIVE To assess volumes and microstructural integrity of deep gray matter structures in a homogeneous cohort of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study including 36 aquaporin-4 antibody-positive (AQP4 Ab-positive) Caucasian patients with NMOSD and healthy controls matched for age, sex, and education. Volumetry of deep gray mat...

For an effective integrity assessment of marine robotic in offshore environments, the elements’ failure characteristics need to be understood. A structured probabilistic methodology is proposed for operational (OFA) ROV. The first step assess likely mode ROV system and its support systems. This captures interaction induced events during operation. identified potential modes are further develope...

Underwater pressure-bearing structures are produced in practice by means of pressure self-enhancement methods order to improve the stress distribution and enhance performance. On other hand, pairs equation shows that is an important factor influencing degradation structure. In fact, improving will not only performance, but have impact on life trend. Thus, affects structural changing distributio...

Crude oil is the basis for almost all products of our modern life. However, the sources where crude oil can be exploited easily are limited. Therefore, in addition to existing oilfields, sources which require more technical effort must be exploited in future. Many of such oilwells are subsea. Some of them are nearby the coast, but others are some 10 to 100 km away from the coast and in a depth ...
