As the markets of digital contents over computer networks become more popular, illegal redistribution of contents by a buyer becomes the more serious problem. To deter illegal redistribution, various fingerprinting schemes have been proposed. The fingerprinting schemes enable merchants to embed information which identifies the original buyer to the purchased content. Identifying the original bu...

background and objectives: traditional polyherbal oils are still in use in persian traditional medicine (ptm). most of these formulations are prepared via traditional procedures such as maceration of herbs in oils or evaporating aqueous herbal extracts in boiling or heating oils as the vehicle. thus, their quality control, standardization and authentication are real challenges due to the lack o...

Humans have been exploiting marine resources along the Levantine coast for millennia. Advances in biomolecular archaeology present novel opportunities to understand exploitation of these taxa antiquity. We discuss potential insights generated by applying collagen peptide fingerprinting, ancient DNA analysis, and stable isotope analysis groupers (Serranidae) sea turtles (Chelonia mydas Caretta c...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming increasingly important in precision radiotherapy owing to its excellent soft-tissue contrast and versatile scan options. Many recent advances MRI have been shown be promising for MRI-guided improved treatment outcomes. This paper summarizes these into six sections: simulators, MRI-linear accelerator hybrid machines, MRI-only workflow, four-dimensiona...

BACKGROUND Nowadays, plants have been considered as powerful agents for treatment of disorders due to their traditional use. Plants have a special role in the treatment of various diseases in Ayurveda. Liver disorders with their devastating outcomes have been discussed in Ayurveda as well. OBJECTIVES In the present study, polyherbal products (L52 and L38) were retrieved from Ayurveda and its ...

Website fingerprinting has been shown to be effective against Tor, one of the most popular low-latency anonymity networks. With this attack, a local network adversary is able to recover the browsing history of a client by using the traffic fingerprints observed at the client’s connection to the Tor network. Previous studies on website fingerprinting focus on designing supervised classifiers to ...

In recent years, the use of wireless sensor networks has increased. This is due in part to the increasing miniaturization, decreasing costs and the identification of real-world scenarios where sensors can be deployed. Device-free Passive (DfP) localisation is the identification of a person without the need for any physical devices i.e. tags or sensors. A DfP Localisation system uses the Receive...

One of the main problems that remain to be solved in pay-per-view Internet services is copyright protection. As in almost every scenario, any copyright protection scheme has to deal with two main aspects: protect the true content authors from those who may dishonestly claim ownership of intellectual property rights and prevent piracy by detecting the authorized (but dishonest) users responsible...

Intellectual property protection of multimedia content is essential to the successful deployment of Internet content delivery platforms. There are two general approaches to multimedia copy protection: copy prevention and copy detection. Past experience shows that only copy detection based on mark embedding techniques looks promising. Multimedia fingerprinting means embedding a different buyer-i...
