In a 2008 survey of 522 computer security professionals, the Computer Security Institute found an average reported cost close to $500,000 for those companies that experienced a financial fraud. A survey of potential cloud computing adopters show that security and privacy are the primary concerns for not using the cloud. The present research conducts an event study to investigate the impact of p...

background: toluene is a harmful substance still being used as a solvent and catalyst in many industries that can increase the level of urinary hippuric acid (uha). this study was designed to examine the level of toluene and uha among workers of industrial site in seven companies in sidoarjo, indonesia and to analyze the risk factors for abnormal uha. methods: this study was an analytical cross...

Evidence for diaphragm injury in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been reported, although the extent of injury and collagen accumulation post mortem have not previously been examined. In addition, it is not known whether the amount of injury and collagen are different in key regions of the diaphragm. The cross-sectional area of collagen and the percentage of abnormal...

The thermal conductivity of boron nitride/ethylene glycol (BN/EG) nanofluids was investigated by transient hot-wire method and two abnormal phenomena was reported. One is the abnormal higher thermal conductivity enhancement for BN/EG nanofluids at very low-volume fraction of particles, and the other is the thermal conductivity enhancement of BN/EG nanofluids synthesized with large BN nanopartic...

The field of analyzing Video Behaviour profiling is very keen and distinct part in the area of Computer Vision and Video signal processing. The two main attributes of this field are Human Action Recognition (HAR) and Abnormal Activity Detection (AAD). Various researchers proposed several algorithms for HAR and AAD, since the analysis of video behaviour profile has numerous applications. This pa...

The aim of this paper is to detect abnormal events in video streams, a challenging but important subject in video surveillance. A novel algorithm is proposed to address this problem. The algorithm is based on an image descriptor and a nonlinear classification method. The images are subjected to Otsu’s method for global thresholding. A histogram of optical flow orientation as a descriptor encodi...

BACKGROUND Estrogen administration in postmenopausal women is associated with a 50% reduction in the clinical manifestations of coronary artery disease. The mechanisms are not known, although one potential explanation is estrogen-induced modulation of coronary vasoreactivity. Acetylcholine is an endothelium-dependent vasodilator that may be used to assess coronary vasoreactivity and elicits cor...

UNLABELLED Myocardial perfusion imaging with 99mTc-labeled agents immediately after reperfusion therapy can underestimate myocardial salvage. It is also conceivable that delayed imaging is useful for assessing the risk area. However, to our knowledge, very few studies have sequentially evaluated these image changes. We conducted 99mTc-tetrofosmin (TF) and 123I-beta-methyl-p-iodophenylpentadecan...

This study focus on market chain actors and their functions they play in the market, to analyze S-C-P of live cattle area. Few traders dominated structure Degree competition between varies from loose oligopoly tight oligopoly. shows that area few shares earns abnormal profit. Entry barriers are high distant, characterize transportation cost. In addition, for each type. Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov...
